As far as the rolled vs steel cut debate, I prefer steel cut simply for the flavor aspect. If you don't want to pre-cook, mete out portions and such for the week (yes, i am lazy; thanks for noticing), Trader Joe's has really good frozen steel cut oats. It's in a single serving puck you pop in the micronukingmachine for a couple minutes and then shove in your piehole. It tastes great and is a time saver.
Although, I am apt to try the cook a week's worth on Sunday and refrigerate for the week. I'm cheaper than I am lazy.

I was into steel cut oats for a while. I think I found a cooking method that involved, right before bed, bringing a pan of them to a boil, then turning off the stove and putting on a lid and just letting them cool down (and cook) overnight. It was quite convenient.
This intrigues me enough I wish I had some in the house right now. They sound delicious.
I've tried the slow cooked steel cut, but didn't like the prep involved and gave them away.
I gave these quick cook ones a try. They cook in about a minute. I like that they're freshly heated, too. Taste was similar, if not same as slow cooked.

Then, I remembered that I don't like oatmeal so I gave them away, too.
Coworkers and family who were pleased to have them. Even though I'm picky, other people are less so. Plus, I don't have cholesterol problems. Perhaps, they do.Who is the faceless receiver of unwanted oats and what do the think of you as a person?

I think this is why I can't eat cereal for breakfast. It really messes with my blood sugar bad and I get dizzy and shaky and weak. I have no idea about the carbs, I'm not one to really count them so I really have no clue.I ate oats in the morning for years. I rarely eat them regularly, now, because as I developed better eating habits, I noticed that they really messed with my blood sugar and I eventually realized it's because they are so high in carbohydrates.
Thank you! I get the kind of hungry where my desk starts looking tempting if I have porridge for breakfast, yet everything I've ever read goes on about how slow release they are & how well they fill you up, glad to know it's not just me!I ate oats in the morning for years. I rarely eat them regularly, now, because as I developed better eating habits, I noticed that they really messed with my blood sugar and I eventually realized it's because they are so high in carbohydrates.
Not sure if this statement is implying that pharmaceuticals are the only way to lower lipids. It seems that the addition of oats to an otherwise reasonable diet really can improve the lipid profile.relatively fit people with reasonable dietary habits that have bad numbers or test results despite their best efforts at a healthy lifestyle tend to only improve their long term lot through the use of meds that interfere with the process.
I was trying to figure out if people routinely eat some form of protein with their oats and if that would help with balancing out the carb absorption. I know a lady at work who has the oats with a protein shake on the side.I ate oats in the morning for years.
