This cooks up good. A few other ingredients that I use in this stove top method of cooking (never in the microwave, since that makes it cook up wallpaper paste consistency - gummy; mushy), are: milk; vanilla; salt; butter; margarine; olive oil; nutmeg; cinnamon; granular sugar; Quaker Steel Cut Oats (1/3 cup to 2Cups Rolled, Traditional Oats); Chia Seeds. Then, once cooked up - which will always take at least 20 minutes on the stovetop for the steel cut oats to be cooked all the way through, I add to the top of the finished-product bowl-full: cinnamon sugar (1T); warmed peach slices, more milk, and a little more margarine. THEN I place it in the microwave or else oven to warm up the toppings. Placing in the oven at 195 degree F will crisp up the top, esp. if you add a pat of butter; but, no need to add more margarine or butter. It's still delicious. This favorite breakfast recipe has SO MUCH fiber in it, you're guaranteed to have a bulky bm the next morning. This is a good thing, as soluble fiber such as this actually scours out your g.i. tract and keeps it clean and healthy, so: no diverticula fodder. If I had a dining room full of children before taking them to school or issuing them off for their day, I'd most def. prepare this delicious alternative. There are so many things you can do with this Quaker Traditional cooking Old Fashioned Rolled Oats, the sky's the limit. You don't have to add the extra cereals with it, but it's what makes it so heart-healthy, and digestive tract happy and blood glucose level homeostasis. I prefer this method to the refrigerated version that you see in online cooking demo videos. But, either way, you can't beat this ultra-healthy and very DELICIOUS breakfast! I give this Quaker Oatmeal two thumbs up!

Quick hot breakfast on a very busy morning. Makes really great Oatmeal Rasin Cookies too! My secret morning trick: Adding one envelope of instant fruit flavored oatmeal to the original while it is cooking makes it seem like desert for breakfast and keeps the sugar under control--very satisfying.

Quaker Old Fashion is the best. Don't believe it if someone say all oat meals are the same, they are not. You need a dust mask for other oatmeal, but not Quaker. Quaker makes your morning oatmeal better, your cookies, and crisp topping it is really noticeable. Little more money but money well spent and this is coming to you from a poor person.

I enjoy Quaker Old Fashion Oats at least 5 times per week. The product is consistently very good. It is a quick hot meal that gives you a fair amount of protein and a significant serving of soluble fiber, which is important for gastrointestinal health.

Quaker Oats never disappoints. Their products are consistently the best. I use the old fashioned oatmeal for making hot oatmeal for breakfast. I don't “cook” anything in microwave, I prefer to cook it using stovetop always. I use milk instead of water and I stir constantly while it's cooking which produces a much creamier hot oatmeal. Great as a bowl of plain oatmeal, w a pat of butter and a little honey or sugar. Optional mix-ins to add more variety: raisins or dried cranberries or other fresh berries; or cinnamon and brown sugar. Always a great way to fuel your day w this nourishing breakfast.

Recurring issue in sands springs Oklahoma with my deliveries. Usually I don't use all of the particular item before opening a new container. But, when I'm opening the newer container the whole plastic rim comes off with the plastic ring. When this happens I pour the new product into the older container, and discard the newer container.

Been around for a while, since before me ( I'm 70 ). I grew-up on this cereal, now it's a good comfort food. And it's heart healthy!

Taste delicious, but they're too heavy and oat, and even cooking it by direction, the texture is just not there just feels awful in your mouth

Quicker oats for the small price difference I prefer these old-fashioned Quaker Oats. Grew up on them, raised my kids on it great staple.

Great product- better using whole grain then the instant-- takes little longer but you have more options in your cooking with it.
