Old fashioned is the whole oat - the steel cut is oats all cut up. The steel cut is more mushy when prepared while the old fashioned has that good thick texture and feel to it.

Steel cut oats have health benefits. They are delicious and very good for you! The difference between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal: Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. Golden in colour and resembling mini rice particles, they are as nature intended - nothing added and nothing taken out. Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture.
