This is a delivery rating not a product rating as the product is a good one. The shipping from Walmart needs way better packaging. This is the reason we don't order more, the package of oats was broken open and all over the bottom of the shipping box. Way to much trouble to return a $4 item to get a replacement.

My dad was a teacher and really wanted us to do well on test days, so he'd make us these old fashioned oats (so our "brains would have fuel all morning," he said). He added cinnamon and raisins, which I assumed was because he loved us so much. We always liked test days because of that. Now I make cinnamon, raisin oatmeal for my kids, but we don't wait for test days--we have it all year long!

I purchased a variety package of Instant Quaker oats and had to throw them all out because each pouch that I open is crawling with little black bugs that look like ants. There is nothing worse than you child screaming in fear because bugs are trying to crawl up spoons to get out of the hot water. This is the only brand that I have experienced this issue with and I am not going to purchase this brand anymore. It appears there is a quality control issue at the plant.

After making oatmeal for 50 year using Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, I must find a replacement product. The changes Quaker has made to this product make the product worthless. I'll watch for Quaker to make an announcement acknowledging this mistake and announcing a return to original processing - then maybe I'll come back.

This can be made on the stovetop or the microwave. I make it with water, and then pour on milk before I eat it. It tastes perfect from the microwave - creamy, not sticky. These oats also make delicious oatmeal cookie bars. Follow the directions inside the lid.

I am soon to be 68 and when I was a kid staying at Grandmas, we had a choice of eggs or Quaker oats for breakfast. That carried on a tradition at my mothers house and my house to always have oats on hand . I think after I have eaten a bowl I can even feel the energy kick in. It is very satisfying to eat for breakfast or anytime for that matter. Looking back grandma knew what was best for all of us.

I have always enjoyed Quaker's products, however, my true wish is that you guys bring back Wilford Brimley to star in a new series of commercials. I don't care how much you have to pay him, just make it happen. Seriously, if you manage to get him to return, I will be the happiest person in the world. Diabeetus.

Hi, tried to click on 4 stars but nothing happened. I have been eating Quakers Oats since i was a kid. My mom would put sugar on it, and sometimes butter, but as I got older, I discovered I liked it made with milk and not water, and surprise surprise, I liked it with a pinch of salt instead of butter and sugar. Now that I sometimes use it as a carbohydrate substitute if I run out of bread etc, I put fruit or jam etc on it. Someone referred to this as steel cut... is it? I thought steel cut was like hard pellets. I have only had the cooking variety that is oat flakes. By the way, I sometimes would make a slurry of oatmeal for my skin if it was very itchy. Seemed to help a lot.

Have used Quaker instant Oats, first thing every morning at work, for years. Now I will have to look for another brand of instant oats, as Quaker chose to make a change without telling the customer. The oats never thicken up, they remain like water, that's not what I expect.

There is something about Quaker oatmeal that is better tasting than other brands. When I was a kid, I would eat this everyday and I didn't learn how to make it like my mom until I was in my 30s. I've tried generic brands but they can't compare. Restaurants don't use Quaker oats. It has a distinct flavor and texture, and costs more. To me, the old fashioned tastes the best.
