The funny thing about these is it only takes a few seconds to be ready. I slice a banana, sprinkle a goodly amount of raisins into the bowl, unceremoniously dump some old fashioned oats on top, put in a dolop or two of water from the kettle I use for my hot chocolate, and stir. A couple of "dolops" probably add up to less than or about a quarter cup. I get the oats damp, and they are good to go - a great hearty breakfast at the campsite or around the house - Life is camping for me, Oats are what I start out the day with - Oats are even what I start out breakfast with when having eggs, bagels and such. Old fashioned oats = 5 stars. JZ

I love the Old fashioned oatmeal. all those flavored and instant oatmeals and the kind in the individual "instant" packets just don't make it for me. Who can possibly be so busy they cant take time to make a proper bowl of oatmeal? I like different textures in the bowl, so i boil the water then toss in a handful of oats every minute or so- - that way some are soft, and some are nearly raw. Toss in a little honey and you've got grandma's oatmeal. When I would eat oatmeal in New England, the old folks would say it will "stick to your ribs". for years I had visions of oatmeal clumps hanging off my ribs like Spanish Moss. Funny how kids get strange ideas.

Product and delivery was excellent. However, packaging was not good. I ordered 3 canisters which were stacked side by side in the shipping box. The canisters are round therefore the weakest point is on it's side. The bottom canister broke open and spread oatmeal all over the box. Two canisters were OK, but had to throw out the third one .

Was very disappointed when I got my order. The oatmeal was at the bottom of the box laying down and the detergent I ordered was on top and smushed the oatmeal and flakes were all at the bottom of the box. I only had half a container of oatmeal left. Not a happy camper

My original order of two containers got lost so Walmart re-sent the order. I eventually received 4 containers. The bottoms of 3 of the 4 containers were partially torn open. The container with the worst damage spilled about 1/2 a cup of oats into the shipping carton. The other two containers only lost a small amount of oats-less than a teaspoon full from each. I think that it's safe to eat from the damaged cartons so I am fine in keeping all four Quaker Oats containers. I think Quaker Oats needs to seal the bottoms of their containers better. The current bottom seems so flimsy. When shipping these cartons, Walmart needs to protect the bottoms of the containers better.

Excellent texture and taste.

My best go to oats for oatmeal, cookies and granola. It’s delicious.

I make over night oats with frozen blueberry, great morning breakfast

Great fluffy tasty creamy morning boost!
