Quick and Easy to make. Plain so can add whatever you want to it for other flavor. Good and healthy for you. I've had some oatmeal that literally taste like cardboard, even after adding like butter or syrup to it. AND THIS DOES NOT HAVE CARDBOARD TASTE.

I eat this oatmeal almost every morning, have for years, and will continue to do so. I like it. However, it has definitely changed in texture and taste. I used to cook it (not overcook) and it would retain large flakes and a taste that was unique. Now it has more of a "mushy" or pasty texture and definitely tastes different. Maybe my "old guy" taste buds are changing. Who knows.

The best oatmeal around. Whether it's the Old Fashioned or the 1 minute kind I could eat it all the time.This is a great value for the price. This taste so good with a little brown sugar and milk. Add a little fruit and you have the best Oats around.

Still great taste as my grand-parents have given me as a child. Keeps me full right up until lunch. This might be bland for some to eat plain. Add in some berries,maybe some flax seed, or protein powder. It's delicious treat, as well as great filling breakfast !

I used to make Quaker Oatmeal for my family all Winter long. I live in Minnesota, and we get very cold Winters here We all loved the creaminess and the flavor of the old fashion oats when cooked in the microwave. Well, not anymore! Following the instruction for cooking the oats they are soupy and are under cooked. I tried microwaving them doubling the time and they were better but still not right. I'm sorry Quaker Oatmeal but I am tossing you in the garbage and going to another brand. You should have stuck the great way you used to make your product.

I don't know what you have done to my Oatmeal but you have ruined it for me. I have been eating the Origional Quaker Oats every weekday for over ten years, Cooking for 5min at 50%. Now it sucks... I finaly found the new directions for it but it is still not edible. I see you have competion so do I need to change brands? Shame on you PepsiCo...!!! Tue 7:30 AM

Obviously, this is a great product; but, the packaging is a problem because the bottom of the container is not firmly attached to the sides. The result is that if the product is shipped without bubble wrap, it will rupture easily. Memo to Pepsi is to improve packaging of the product. Memo to Walmart is to use bubble wrap for cushioning rather than gobs of paper.

I prepare my old-fashioned Quaker Oats raw, with milk, cut fruits, nuts, raisins, and a dash of cinnamon. My wife eats them raw without adornment. I like the nutty taste; she points to the heart-health benefits, observable in her case. However, I do not recommend using the one-minute oats because they tend to coalesce and lose their nutty taste and consistency.###

I have been eating oatmeal for decades and always went with store brand. I decided to try Quaker since everyone said it was better. I mixed up my first batch with the classic 2:1 ratio and is was extremely watery. I have always used the Easy as 123 method. 1 scoop oatmeal, 2 scoops of water, and 3 sweet n lows. I eventually got it to be the right thickness but the ratio was way off, more of a 1:1 ratio. I wasted so much oatmeal to try to get there and based on what I am seeing here, I may just go back to what worked for me.

I did not like Quaker Oats previously, but my doctors kept worrying about my cholesterol levels, and my refusal to take the medications. I started using Quaker Oats at night because of irregular sleeping habits. I have found that my hours of sleep have increased, and my cholesterol levels have decreased. I now have Quaker Oats and a banana (instead of sugar) for breakfast, and I am enjoying the taste, the regular movements, and the fact that I do not need snacks before lunch. Thanks to the makers of Quaker Oats.
