I'd like to see a study showing how undercooked oats can cause problems for people. Whilst I'm not saying it doesn't or can't happen, it sounds a bit exaggerated to me. Hundreds of millions of people eat Raw Muesli every day with no issues. The key ingredient for that is raw oats...
I thought that was exaggerated too. Just finished watching another video about a processing plant for oats that showed they are partially cooked while rolled, thru steam.
In my late 40s oats started to give me the squirts. After 10 years without, I missed them, and thought that maybe it's just the instant oats that do that to me. So I got the old kind, added more H2O and cooked them longer than the directions said. Now I have no problem. I really like the ease of just soaking them in the fridge overnight. I don't even bother to cook them anymore.
There are a few studies, but yes, everyone is different. It's also a matter of degree. I could probably tolerate a bowl of muesli a day, no problem. But if I eat 2 or 3 bowls (not unheard of) I'll get gassy. Some people just cannot tolerate it, period.
My family are scottish..we have been raised in oatmeal for many generations..some of the oldies prefer to make it with salt & water..I’ve made mine with only milk for over 20 years..this is the way I like it..this is the way I will continue to do it..I couldn’t give a toss what so called experts or chefs say !
I mash my banana first, then add cold water(a must) then combine them, then the oats goes in and I cook it on low with a pinch of salt and cinnamon. Smells and tastes divine. No milk needed! It's creamy and perfect for me
No problems cooking with a milk and water mixture. It's gooey and sweet. Without milk the grains stay separate, and butter doesn't help. Just boil until the desired softness. I don't like adding milk late because it is cold or takes extra effort to heat up. Turn down the heat or the milk & starch foam will boil over before anything burns. Don't give a proportion with a quarter cup. You can't cook that tiny amount. Rolled oats have low density. I like the ratio of 1:2.5 with milk.
I never screwed up oatmeal it's easy to cook. Farina/Cream Of Wheat is a lot easier to mess up. I like my oatmeal with a little butter, maple syrup, a splash of milk, and raisins.
Comfort food anytime!! 💕 I prefer steel cut oats which I cook and prepare then portion ahead of time. Usually I portion 6 containers and refrigerate and then I heat up in a bowl with soy milk in the microwave for 2 mins. Topped off with cinnamon raisins or blueberries any fruits will work..eat and enjoy!! This is so fast and the oatmeal stays well in the fridge as the oats soak up the moisture and become perfect. This saves so much time to enjoy anytime of the day a great food source. 👍
I microwave mine with a half cup of water then when it's done I add half a cup of milk, a tsp of cinnamon sugar, and a cut up banana. It's delicious...people can eat oatmeal however the hell they want to, it's just oats!
I cook mine with just water, and I scrape the stuff that sticks to the pan, that's my favorite part actually, so chewy. After putting it in a bowl, I stir in some milk into it until the texture becomes almost fluffy, (I find not stirring milk in after its cooked makes the texture inedible) then I add a splash of milk on top, cut up half a banana and get a tsp of peanut butter. (I use steel cut oats which I then powderise, and I soak them overnight with hot water and apple cider vinegar at room temperature)
Try rolled oat soak overnight with plain yogurt (sugar free)/choice flavour powder cinnamon or black sesame powder or turmeric powder/ chia seeds and walnuts or pecan nuts...keep in small container
cay cool thanks. I love oats and spent some time perfecting my personal recipe for Dank Oats as I call it. The trouble is that my house mates also love oats but I'm having a hard time getting them to understand that you can't just throw milk over it and eat it immediately. I like to let my oats soak up soy milk for at least 2 hours if I'm eating it cold, or cook it for 15 minutes for a hot dish. When making it warm I start with the salt and stirring, because the salt helps to draw the starch out and get the first creamy undertones. Then I add my cinnamon and apples + chia seeds. As those cook in I'll add peanut butter and a dash of milk. Once that's stirred in it should be good, unless some more water is needed. I like to start with less water than needed and top it up as I go along until the texture is just right. Happy Days my dear oatmeal lovers! Cheers, Uie.
Am I the only one that the word CREAMY just isn't appeal to him ? I just mix the soft oats with milk , put in micro for 30 sec, mix, add topping , mix. Delicious for 10 years.
thank you, for all advices about coking oats, but on 2:54 doesn't seems to me good advice ..."heat it in the microwave"..I have heard it is not good for health..
No water…I use coconut milk and it comes out perfect. Plan to use almond milk next 🤔 The instant for me is the way to go so I don’t add too much oats, milk or sugar. 🙌🏾 I’ll add butter and cinnamon if the mood strikes but imma simple guy. It’s not broke for me so there’s no need to fix it. Respect for those who have the time to overnight oats every week 🙏🏾💯👌🏾
As I mentioned in a reply to a commenter, I treat oatmeal as a savory food; no sweetener. I add pepper or mild hot sauce. Also olive oil, tahini, nutritional yeast, miso. (Not necessarily all of those together.) I have always done it that way. I probably learned it from my father. He does pepper and butter. And it was never meant as an alternative to the standard way; it’s just the way we’ve always done it. (I don’t know if this is relevant; he has some Hungarian ancestry.) I’d add that I steer away from sweet foods at breakfast in general.
Best oatmeal I ever had came from England, in a box with the British flag all over it, can't remember the name. Was on a clearance shelf in local Kroger. Big rolled flakes and extra tasty like they were pretoasted maybe. We put them in saucepan with half cold water half cold milk and handful of dried cherries and salt. Cooked pretty slow for 8 or 10 min. Wish I could find them again.
Could be Scott's Porridge Oats (from Scotland). In the UK, they are the major brand, followed by "Quaker Oats" (American). I don't recall seeing a brand with a Union Flag (Gt Britain) or a Cross of St George (England) flag on the packet (but I could be wrong).
Mix equal parts of steel cut and rolled oats. Soak overnight, rinse and cook with boiling water a little milk and some salt.I love to stir in plain Greek yogurt ,sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Add any fruit you have.
To stop with breads (wholemeal, rye,...) I opted for peanuts and oatmeal (quaker, every day and maximum twice a day, since I have to fight against a terrible ease in losing weight) but I have two problems: I need to reduce sugar and I need to avoid milk as much as possible (my body doesn't like it anymore). But taking oatmeal without milk and with little sugar is really hard to bear because of a feeling that I cannot describe. So I had the idea of adding a little salt (maximum half a teaspoon) during cooking and it works much better; it is totally bearable. Except that while reading I learn that the mixture of salt and sugar should be avoided for health reasons. So I'm stuck. I'm looking for what I can put in place of salt to have a bearable Quaker. I'm planning to try baking soda instead of salt but I don't know if that too isn't recommended. If anyone has any good advice, it would be really nice to share it with me. By the way, thank you for this share.
I have type 2 diabetes and eat steel cut with canned pumpkin. You get some sugar from the pumpkin but also add moisture. I make a batch and weigh it out to 6 ounces, which is a half portion and usually eat a boiled egg with it to up my protein.
12 teaspoons organic oat flakes (45-50 grams), 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder, a pinch or fleur de sel (ανθό αλατιού από το Μεσολόγγι) and a teaspoon of peanut butter OR the same amount of oats with half teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon (because it's low in coumarin) a pinch of fleur de sel (flower sea salt) and a pinch of nutmeg. I stir with the added boiling water and let it sit for 20 or 30 minutes (cause it's summer now) and ENJOY 😋
Try considering oatmeal as a savory food -no sweetener. Add pepper, hot sauce (I prefer a mild variety) or miso. Also, olive oil. Nutritional yeast. Eat your sweet foods, if desired, separately. I’m would not recommend baking soda to replace salt. Could have bad health outcomes if consumed in excess. Tastes terrible.
I make my oatmeal hispanic style with milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, a few cloves, and a dash of vanilla, I just don’t understand people who cook it with just water ewww
I like Sally Fallons nourishing traditions oats. She places oats with warm water and 2 tablespoons kefir or yogurt on the stove overnight, lets if ferment a bit. Then the next day you cook it. It is easier to digest.
One question: oats into the water at the outset and cooked makes it creamier, I’ve found, while bringing water to the boil first and then adding in the oats makes it less creamy but still good. I just noticed my Mom putting the oats in right away. Thoughts?
I need help. I use regular quaker oats, but its always under cooked. I follow directions but its bad. Theres good suggestions here. But does anyone have good tips for creamy texture, no bite. Ty
When I make oatmeal I put 2 glasses and a half of water/milk, 19 tbs of rolled oats, half of a cinnamon stick (or put cinnamon powder), 2 and a 1/2 tbs sugar and 2 and a 1/2 tbs of milk powder (that is if I’m not using milk). 😃 I put it on medium high flame but you can lower it. The trick is to cook while stirring occasionally and once the liquid is observed it should be ready to be served. 😄 I like mine on the thick side if I’m having it with tea so add a bit more water or milk to yours if you wish. 🥰 (I took a vid weeks ago I might post it today if you’re interested check it out to get an idea (it doesn’t show cooking process tho cuz it’s a TikTok 😂) Hope this helped you! ❤️😄
Bob's Red Mill are the best. Takes 20 minutes to make so I triple the batch and microwave the next two days. Some fruit, pecans, cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup and it's awesome.

The thing I always find odd about videos about oatmeal is that they usually show rolled oats not oatmeal. Rolled oats or porridge oats are the flattened oats, oatmeal are the small hard pieces of oats that are cruncy/nutty textured when raw, rather than rolled/porridge oats which are softer/chewier when raw.
@@iangrant3615 it’s still oatmeal, just different forms. I’m sure in your case it all just comes down to how people refer to/what people call things differently around different parts of the country/world.
What they are showing is steel cut oats with another process at the factory. The rolled oats are steamed at the factory too, where steel cut are the oat cut into smaller pieces and that's it. They're what I prefer because they digest slower and you don't get a carb spike from them.
I made overnight oats for the first time? I made it with milk, yogurt, diced apples, cranberries, a smidge of brown sugar and a smidge of pecans. It was so good!
I pressure cook my steel cut oatmeal with a bit of salt and water and make them al dante. The boil it with a little bit more water, add peas chillies roasted cumin and coriander powder, pepper and take it off the pot. Then garnish it with a bit of chilli oil and some times soya sauce. It turns out yum. 😜
I like the pre-sweetened, i know the plain with added fruit would be better. if i boil water and cover it, i does puff up better. the overnight soak sounds like the way to go...
Take whole organic oats, put in ultra low fat milk, put in airtight container in fridge over night- add fruit in morning and eat cold.. it takes 4 hours to soak so can do in morning and take to work and eat at lunchtime
Since I am diabetic with high cholesterol: I use Instant oatmeal sugar free : in my job I use microwave for 3 minutes, Home similar I use gas not microwave.. I use cream Almondmilk of zero sugar , zero cholesterol has 50% cacium. Before I used cream made from soybeans zero sugar, Zero sugar .... I use products with zero sugar or very few...
It is not hard to cook oatmeal. Follow the directions on the Quaker Oats container and it comes out yummy every time. I add flaxseed, blueberries and bananas. Cook with milk and after everything is combined I heat up another cup of milk in the microwave to add to keep it hot! It is delicious!🙂👍
i remember when i was sick as a young kid, imy mom would always make me a bowl of oatmeal and i would absolutely hate it. she would add in so much milk to the point where the oats were all soggy and disgusting to chew. Now as a teenager, i want to gag whenever i see oatmeal. Even if it smells and looks good, my mind just thinks back to the oatmeal my mom would make.
Oatmeal is oats which have been milled - "concassé" as the French say. What you really mean and should say is oat flakes or rolled oats. The two are quite different. ( I am Scottish)
I love my oatmeal chewy, with salt and butter - so the Scottish way. Oh, actually I do sometimes soak mine overnight. It does cook nicely. But I prefer it as a savoury dish hence salt and butter. Can add cheese etc .
oats + water + 30 seconds in the microwave + 1/3 of a banana, done. For me using milk add no value what-so-ever, then again I like the taste of oats. I did add peanut butter once, not sure about that one, but a good idea if you need the extra protein.
I've never had oatmeal before. I just microwaved some. It's so flavorless and nasty. If I was starving I would eat it. Though I'm sitting here taking bites of it because I don't feel like getting up. I think I would rather just eat it dry with a bunch of salt.
I don't soak them- All I do is put the oatmeal (I get mine from trader Joe's) in the bowl and put in A BIT of water so that it isn't turning into an oatmeal soup to me basically But enough so that all of it is wet and not completely dry 😅
I have been trying oatmeal for a week now, as it is easy meal and can mixed up with your favourite fruits, but in my experience I realized that oatmeal dose actually gives you belly fat which is very annoying and it is hard to get rid of belly fat. Any suggestions welcome...!
If your eating healthy with this or working out at all this shouldn’t be happening unless your putting lots of sugar in it which is really easy to do without noticing it like milk sugar butter fruits or any extra forms of calories or sugars even if their healthier natural sugars or could be causing bad bloating esp with certain people wheat can not be the best or cause leaky gut …. But ya any food if your eating too many calories can cause excess fat oats alone should not be causing any extra fat unless your body has an intolerance to something in them
Start your oatmeal with water and oats (so that you don't burn the milk), add a pinch of salt. Heat the water and cook the oats. Add (brown) sugar, butter, and a splash of half and half creamer. done. People make this too complicated.
I don't like my oatmeal cooked to death, if I wanted mushy oatmeal, I'd use the instant stuff. I also don't care for oatmeal where someone has thrown in the whole fruit bar, I like mine more on the simple side.
How do you like your oatmeal?
Soft
I simply make it using oats and oat milk and I put nothing else into it. (I used to put regular milk into it until I found out I was intolerant to it)
in a bowl
Mashed
Me to, black berries and raspberries yum
Cook and eat your oatmeal however you like! Or don't eat it at all! This video gave me a panic attack..... For the love of God, it's just oatmeal! 😭

black berries, blue berries, strawberries are great. Bananas can make oatmeal taste great. nuts are good
Overnight oats. Perfect :D
Am I the only one who like it uncooked, with banana and milk only?
No, but my ma used to give us that as kids, however I prefer savoury.
Excelente oportunidad para poder disfrutar de un buen almuerzo para disfrutar de un buen desayuno para disfrutar de un buen día
man i'm eating oatmeal rn and it's so freaking good
Take whole organic oats, put in ultra low fat milk, put in airtight container in fridge over night- add fruit in morning and eat cold.. it takes 4 hours to soak so can do in morning and take to work and eat at lunchtime
My entire family has overcooked oatmeal more times than I can count.
I like oatmeal with salt and bacon grease.
To each his own.
Going to start soaking my oats!
Don’t use any sugar
Do you buy raw oats for oatmeal. There are prepared oats for oatmeal no soaking no long cooking.
I’m only watch this because I really love oatmeal… even if I mess it up.
I love gummy starchy oatmeal!
Since I am diabetic with high cholesterol:
I use Instant oatmeal sugar free : in my job I use microwave for 3 minutes, Home similar I use gas not microwave..
I use cream Almondmilk of zero sugar , zero cholesterol has 50% cacium.
Before I used cream made from soybeans zero sugar,
Zero sugar ....
I use products with zero sugar or very few...
It is not hard to cook oatmeal. Follow the directions on the Quaker Oats container and it comes out yummy every time. I add flaxseed, blueberries and bananas. Cook with milk and after everything is combined I heat up another cup of milk in the microwave to add to keep it hot! It is delicious!🙂👍
Bought fresh strawberries to add tomorrow!🤣
How about 3 in 1 instant Oats ?Need to soak it ?Thanks
I love this channel
True
I eat from the bag with water and banana and kiwi bluebery and crunchy
Toast them in a dry pan first for a few seconds add boiled water then turn it down to 1
and keep stirring
put a lid on it with the cooker turned off
Since I started eating oatmeal I poop 💩 everyday 😂😂😂😂😂 I no longer suffer constipation .. I feel great 😊
i remember when i was sick as a young kid, imy mom would always make me a bowl of oatmeal and i would absolutely hate it. she would add in so much milk to the point where the oats were all soggy and disgusting to chew. Now as a teenager, i want to gag whenever i see oatmeal. Even if it smells and looks good, my mind just thinks back to the oatmeal my mom would make.
Evaporated milk helps to.
Omg yes!
Oatmeal is oats which have been milled - "concassé" as the French say. What you really mean and should say is oat flakes or rolled oats. The two are quite different. ( I am Scottish)
In Danmark raw oats with milk is the most commen breakfast.
And we dont have more gas so under cooked oats is just fine.
Water, table spoon of salted butter, Milk, table spoon of organic almond butter , chia seeds & honey .
How I eat my (Scottish) oatmeal .
I love my oatmeal chewy, with salt and butter - so the Scottish way. Oh, actually I do sometimes soak mine overnight. It does cook nicely. But I prefer it as a savoury dish hence salt and butter. Can add cheese etc .
oats + water + 30 seconds in the microwave + 1/3 of a banana, done.
For me using milk add no value what-so-ever, then again I like the taste of oats. I did add peanut butter once, not sure about that one, but a good idea if you need the extra protein.
I use condensed milk I can eat it plain
I’m Jamaican , vanilla , nutmeg, cinnamon, salt .. cooked in water then sweetened with condensed milk….yummy !
when I add milk it makes a very creamy oatmeal and any flavour I add to it just taste better but when I use water I get mushy oatmeal
yea must have the milk , you doing it right nothing more to it . stay good .
I've never had oatmeal before. I just microwaved some. It's so flavorless and nasty. If I was starving I would eat it. Though I'm sitting here taking bites of it because I don't feel like getting up. I think I would rather just eat it dry with a bunch of salt.
put a piece of dark chocolate in it
Cardamon instead of cinnamon every day is a tasty alternative.
Ah yes, undercooked oats…so bad for you!
That’s why Müsli is eaten daily without any issues…
Top notch quality video!
I use milk to cook my oatmeal - it's perfect 😋
What about Steel Cut Oats? 45 min watching it boil over on low heat, HATE IT
I just burnt a pot of it a while ago
I tried to reheat it .....
Taste like sappy bitter chicken.
*Tip: soak the pot overnight to make cleaning easier*
I don't soak them-
All I do is put the oatmeal (I get mine from trader Joe's) in the bowl and put in A BIT of water so that it isn't turning into an oatmeal soup to me basically
But enough so that all of it is wet and not completely dry 😅
Come on it’s Oatmeal, aahhh
This is an 8min (approx) advert for Quaker Oats..It might interest someone who has a difficult time making toast or boiling water.
I have been trying oatmeal for a week now, as it is easy meal and can mixed up with your favourite fruits, but in my experience I realized that oatmeal dose actually gives you belly fat which is very annoying and it is hard to get rid of belly fat.
Any suggestions welcome...!
Oatmeal doesn’t give you belly fat, excess calories do.
If your eating healthy with this or working out at all this shouldn’t be happening unless your putting lots of sugar in it which is really easy to do without noticing it like milk sugar butter fruits or any extra forms of calories or sugars even if their healthier natural sugars or could be causing bad bloating esp with certain people wheat can not be the best or cause leaky gut …. But ya any food if your eating too many calories can cause excess fat oats alone should not be causing any extra fat unless your body has an intolerance to something in them
When I eat porridge or oatmeal outside, it always tastes so good. But when I make it at home, it tastes like baby food, can someone help me?
You guys cook oatmeal with water? I place it in milk for about an hour and then cook it with the milk. I never over or undercooked it like that.
Steel cut oats are the healthiest ❣
#1 : taste. #2 : taste. #3 : soaking overnight? nobody does this. #4 : taste. #5 : taste. #6 : burned oatmeal? nobody does this. #7 : add salt? nobody does this. Again, taste, #8 : Stirring? Everyone already does this. #9 : taste.
Start your oatmeal with water and oats (so that you don't burn the milk), add a pinch of salt. Heat the water and cook the oats. Add (brown) sugar, butter, and a splash of half and half creamer. done. People make this too complicated.
I don't like my oatmeal cooked to death, if I wanted mushy oatmeal, I'd use the instant stuff.
I also don't care for oatmeal where someone has thrown in the whole fruit bar, I like mine more on the simple side.
We should fry it in pan or what I don't get it pls , who know reply
your suggestion of using less water would be a bad idea with steel cut oats
oatmeal is my fav food
