I love the steel cut oats so much better than rolled oats. They have a chewy flavor and that seems more satisfying to me.

Hi Barbara,
I’m in love with steel cut oats this week, but I’m fickle. I understand steel cut oats are a little healthier since the rolled ones are steamed and therefore lose some vitamins. The only down side of the steel cut is that they take longer to cook.

Hi Letha! I love all the food pictures on your blog.
I deal with the problem of steel cut oats taking longer to cook by making a huge pot on the weekend and then reheating them in the microwave throughout the week.

Hi Toadfood. That’s a good idea. I’ve not tried reheating steel cut oats before. It sure would save time.
