The steel cut oats came with two holes in lower part of bag, thank goodness now had fallen out due to second layer of paper was holding (barely) Had to move the oats to a different container. This was down right tough due to my age (89) and strength. I will not buy this again.

I use this large size Quaker Oats, Old Fashioned type for making granola bars, cookies, candies, etc. It's not just for breakfast, which I do enjoy with fruits or brown sugar and milk. It's definitely less costly in a larger size than smaller containers, and keeps for a long time on the shelf, too.

Make sure you have a container that can hold the bulks of this big, double bag offering. Keeps the second bag and most of the first fresh while you enjoy about 2 lbs kept in a smaller container over several weeks. Easy to prepare. Great with chopped fruit added, or butter, or sugar, or just plain.

I could never find the oatmeal in the store until my last visit. I have oatmeal almost every morning, but regular grocery store prices are rather high for a 1 lb conainer. This package is mega sized and only costs a little more than $1 a pound. Great deal!

I love my oatmeal! Oatmeal is easy to cook,and makes for one of the healthiest, most economical breakfasts possible. If you think of oatmeal as bland, then you need to think outside the box. I add raisins, fruit, nuts, jam, cold cereal, honey, syrup, and almost anything you can imagine to oatmeal to make it a delicious part of my day every day. One of my favorite toppings is crushed tortilla chips. A good breakfast is the start of every good day, and oatmeal is the foundation.

I won't have to go to the store for oatmeal all winter. 5 lbs is a LOT of oats, but hopefully they will stay fresh as we go through them. I did put them in another container, once opened. I cook them in my rice cooker (spray the bottom first) 1 rice cooker cup of oats to 2 rice cooker cups of water, a tablespoon of butter, a little salt, and spray the bottom of the rice cooker with non-stick spray (you don't have to, but it makes the cleanup easier). So easy!

This is a LOT of oatmeal. If you aren't going to use it up fairly quickly, to preserve its freshness, open one of the big bags and decant it into smaller containers for later use. We use empty, washed, spaghetti sauce jars and a canning-jar funnel (to assist quick, no-mess, transfer). It stays dry and away from any insect adventures that way, ready for use on our next need. Our particular use is in blended smoothies, to add fiber to our diet. But it will do all the other stuff you've loved all these years, from breakfast porridge to cookie dough.

I saw the label said, "100 percent whole grain" and thought it might taste different from the oatmeal I was used to as a child. Nope. This is the right stuff. I like the original the best. Five minutes isn't that long to prepare oatmeal that has a delicious flavor. I triple the recipe and store it in the fridge to eat over several days . I slice up a banana in a bowl, add some oatmeal on top, and then heat it in microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add raisins and walnuts and milk, and you e got a heart healthy breakfast.

This is a great product at an excellent price, and it is one of the main reasons I renewed my Sam's Club membership this year. Unfortunately, Sam's is no longer selling the Quaker Old Fashioned Oats in their local clubs; instead they are now selling the Quaker Quick One Minute Oats and raised the price by five dollars to $12.98.

Total crap! Have not had them for a couple years and decided to go back to these instead of the HEB apple cinnamon instant oats. Put them in a bowl with water as directed and added 1/2 minced apple. As I previously did, I let the sit for 2 hours. Microwaved them as directed for 3 minutes. These were extremely tough and not soft like I remember them being. Oh well, back the the HEB instant oats
