I am trying to reduce acrylamide in my diet. I see that Bob's rolled oats packaging says that they are are "kiln toasted". Does anyone know if the steel cut are toasted as well ? I'm just concerned that heat processing could be creating acrylamides in...

The bag gives toasting instructions, so I doubt it. I just know we have them every morning 'cuz we don't get tired of them.

Yes - to both. Steel cut are better for colon health - they reduce the risk of intestinal and colon cancer. I prefer the taste of steel cut oats over the quick oats - to me these are creamier and nuttier. The texture is rougher - the quick oats cook to a mush; these retain some of their shape.

I was eating Quaker steel cut oats before but they don't offer gluten free so I switched to Bob's and I can't tell any difference once they're cooked.

It does a fantastic job cooking steel cut oats. I have not tried processed oatmeal but I am sure it will.

I eat Bob's Red Mill Whole Oats uncooked every single morning. I pour about 1/2 - 3/4 cup in a bowl. Cover it with Almond Milk or Soy Milk (organic!) and let it sit for about 30 min. sprinkle on cinnamon and add fruit, raisins or craisins and eat. My oats are soaking while I get ready to leave or am doing something else. Very filling, and very good. Sure they are raw but they are soft and a slight bit chewy.

It's wrong. They are not organic. Even the Bob's Red Mill website doesn't show any organic potato flakes on their site. Since they make numerous organic products, I'm sure it would say it on the pkg. I wish they were. We eat almost all organic foods. These are a spurge for us. Basically like our take-out night since we don't eat any of that stuff (we're gluten, dairy and chemical preservative free). They are easy and tasty. I add s&p and avocado oil and a but of garlic powder and they're great!

I sure wish someone would answer R. Shim's question about Garden of Life "Raw"ness I too am assuming not heated but would like to know also if acid-processed or merely dried or???

I didn't see mention of that on the label. I didn't find it to be anything special in the bread I made. King Arthur is your best best and easy to find.

Oatmeal is made by slicing (with steel blades) or rolling (between rollers) the groats, so no, I think the best you could do would be a course oat flour. Oat flour would be a great addition to baked products though.

Don't forget to rinse your steel cut oats. I use McCann's and have to rinse the oats 5 or 6 times before using.

Zourushi has a recipe for steel cut oats on its USA website:http://www.zojirushi.com/user/scripts/user/recipe.php?recipe_id=50

The product description states..."Organic Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats are simply whole oat groats that have been cut into neat little pieces on a specialized rotary granulator mill. We use high protein, whole grain oats that have been lightly toasted to create our hearty steel cut oats."

I've done steel cut oats but not overnight. I put the oats and the same amount of water that I would use to cook them on the stove plus a touch more. I plugged mine in shortly after 8 in the morning and it's good for lunch around noon. I'll add nuts and brown sugar right before eating if I want them that day.

I received this email message from Oster after inquiring about the safety of the 5711 and 5712 steamer: "The materials in our food steamer are: Housing is polypropylene.

Hi K.A., I am an American who once lived in Ansbach...wish I spoke the language well enough to translate. Would you be so kind to translate this recipe for me. I am cooking my quark (buttermilk) overnight in my oven on the lowest temperature. My family loves it soo much it seems like I am cooking it every night. I don't like keeping my oven on every night.Thank you so much for your help.Kathleenharrison74@verizon.net

Bill, looks like a lot of people have already given the same answer as mine. I use a tin can (originally containing Irish steel cut rolled oatmeal) and cut a slit in the top. I just slip the used blades into the can and dispose of the entire can when full. I've been using the same can for a couple of years and it still isn't close to being full.
