Instant Oats or Old Fashioned?

[OptimumJoe]

Which do you prefer and why? I'm getting ready for a show right now and want to see what everyone else uses.

Thanks,
Joe

I use instant as a rule...............just for the coneinience.

At times I`ll use old fashioned but not too often.

Whole oats,or steel cut oats, are better for you, as they are not processed, but you can`t beat instant for the simplicity of cooking.

Hi Joe,

I also use instant... since i'm not eating for taste anymore , the only two factors to detrmine my oatmeals are:

1- Is it Whole grain?

2- Is it Quick to cook?

If the answer is Yes to both... it's on my grocery basquet!

I use old fashioned. I put them in my protein pancakes in the AM

Ditto on the old fashioned oats. Scoop up half a cup, throw enough water into the container or bowl, microwave for a minute, watch it bubble up a little so I know it cooking and voila! Add splenda and eat.
