Bob's Red MillOrganic Steel Cut Oats, 24oz (Pack of 1) - Non GMO, Whole Grain, Vegan, Kosher

I cook it in an instant pot.I stir in raisins, cinnamon, and vanilla and refrigerate the unused portion.I add fruit (fresh or canned) at serving time.Delicious and nutritious.

I was told about steel cut oats by a client that likes to diet, and he told me that yes it takes longer to cook than instant oatmeal, but it is worth it, boy he was right!Full disclosure, I CANNOT stand instant oatmeal, I would have to force myself to eat it. The texture, taste, and basically everything about it, turns my stomach. This product is a far cry from instant oatmeal! Firstly, it takes about 15 minutes to cook after the water and salt get to a boil. Ensure you get the water (and salt) in the pot first, then get to a boil. After you see the water about to boil, add the serving of your choice to the pot, cover and put to a low simmer. Stir occasionally, and my doneness timing comes to about 15 minutes, or when the oats begin to get sticky on the bottom of the pot. I prefer an al dente dish as it reminds me of a good risotto. You can cook longer for a creamier texture, but I have not done that as that is not the texture I am going for.Now, the instructions say to add a pinch of salt, my opinion, salt to taste and use trial and error. For me, a pinch is not enough for a two serving bowl, I go with a teaspoon as it gives it more flavor. I do not add much salt to the rest of my dishes during the day, so I can live with splurging a little bit.At the price point for this pack of 4 is about what our local grocery store charges, but I have noticed that the availability of this product at our store has been limited lately. This product comes sealed and should last for a while.If I had to give this product a con, is that for a weekday breakfast, it will take you about 20 minutes from start to finish (5 minutes to get the water boiling, 15 to cook). Also, if you do not soak your pot immediately after cooking, cleanup get get a little tricky. If you plan ahead and are on top of the cleanup, you can avoid all the cons listed.I would recommend all to give this product a try and make it part of your balanced diet!

Love this stuff. The doctor said my copper was low. Never heard of that but went looking for a product to help add copper. Used this for a couple months, got checked again on copper, normal test. I continue using it because you can add flavorful honey to it or berries and it's just wonderful. Not crunchy per se but definitely you may do some chewing. I make up enough for 3-4 days and store in the fridge. Great product.

I like the chewy texture of this Oatmeal. Quite different from rolled oats and I really like that it’s organic.

Great steel cut oats

Bob’s Red Mill Organic Steel Cut Oats are fantastic! They have a hearty, chewy texture and a rich, nutty flavor that makes every bowl feel wholesome and satisfying. I love how versatile they are – perfect for a warm, comforting breakfast or used in baking. Plus, they’re organic and high-quality, so I feel good about what I’m eating. Highly recommend!

Boiling 20 minutes, 30 minutes, makes no difference, Steel Cut Oats will always result in little pellets mixed throughout. I haven't tried boiling for 2 hours yet. It explains why the glycemic index of steel cut is lower than instant or "regular" oats, because steel cut isn't ground up as finely. Lower glycemic index means less of a chance this will result in hypoglycemia a few hours after eating it. Options are the same as tea -- a teaspoon of honey, a glug of half & half, or I think mixing in a couple of slices of American cheese would be ok. Or, for healthfood junkies, neither. Organic promises toxin-free, a good way to start the day.The Latina esposa has a visceral reaction to hot cereal, but she likes oatmeal mixed into soup, like a secret ingredient. We'll have to try steel cut, next time.

I used my 2.5 qt crock pot to make overnight oats. The lengthy process was a no brainer and the oatmeal was piping hot, chewy but thoroughly cooked. I don’t know how long they sat before I bought the bag, but the taste isn’t as fresh as prior in-store purchases (same item same size same brand). I like that it’s organic. Oats are always filling and helps my gut too. Souper cubing and freezing these oats so mom can nuke it and have a thoroughly cooked breakfast. I swirl in molasses or peanut butter and top with sliced fruit and blueberries.
