Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Recipe via Meal-Master v8.05 Title: Oatmeal - Crockpot Categories: Crockpot, Breakfast, Cereal Yield: 1 servings 2 1/2 c Water 1 c Oats 1/4 ts Salt Cook overnight. (really, that's all there is to it!!!) Terry's comments: This is in response to the request concerning cooking cereal in a crockpot. This technique not only works well for oats but also polenta and other coarse cooked cereals.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 It didn't specify. What is the difference? I would think regular oatmeal, personally..... -Cherrie , " Sara " <chrisandsara@c...> wrote: > > Regular oatmeal or steel cut? > > Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Well, I have a recipe for crockpot oatmeal and I used regular (instead of steel cut like it said) and it was soupy. I have no clue what the difference is. Probably that recipe means regular since it didn't specify and that's what 99% of the people think of when you say oatmeal. Sara ___________ It didn't specify. What is the difference? I would think regular oatmeal, personally..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Sara, I have read that the " instant " oatmeal is the same as the " old-fashioned " but it is cut thinner to cook quicker. Maybe you used " instant " ? Don't know exactly what " steel-cut " means.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Yes, there's a strong possiblilty that this is what I did. Cooking is not my forte. ___________________ I have read that the " instant " oatmeal is the same as the " old- fashioned " but it is cut thinner to cook quicker. Maybe you used " instant " ? Honestly, I don't know what it mean either. But it looks very different from quaker oats. Some people call it irish porridge. ____________ Don't know exactly what " steel-cut " means.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Okay, here it is ;=) From my handydandy guide to food terms, _ The Foodlover's Companion_, I quote, page 393: 'Scotch oats or steel-cut oats or Irish oatmeal are all names for groats that have been cut into 2 to 3 pieces and not rolled. They take considerably longer to cook than rolled oats and have a decidedly chewy texture.' However, in reply to the post below, I'm copying from higher up on the same page the following note: 'Old-fashioned oats and quick-cooking oats can usually be interchanged in recipes. Instant oats, however, are not interchangeable becasue they're made with cut broats that have ben precooked and dreied before being rolled. This precooking process so softens the oat pieces that, after being combined with a liquid, the mixture can turn baked goods such as moffins or cookies into gooey lumps.' I'd say, from reading this guide, that quick-cooking and old-fashioned and rolled oats should be able to be used interchangeably, but that the steel-cut/Irish/Scotch don't have a substitute; if your recipe calls for them, then that's what you'd have to use. (Instant oats, on the other hand, is for, well, instant use.) Clear as mud? Glad to be of obfuscation ;=) Best, Pat > > I have read that the " instant " oatmeal is the same as the > " old-fashioned " but it is cut thinner to cook quicker. Maybe you used > " instant " ?
