  The best oatmeal recipe ever!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've been looking all over for a good recipe for steel cut oatmeal and this is the 3rd one I've tried. The other two - I... found them on another recipe site on the web - turned out mushy with no flavor. Very disappointing. This recipe (thank you Alton!) is absolutely wonderful. I used soy milk instead of the whole milk and buttermilk because soy is the only milk I can have. And I added raisins, some nutmeg and, because I love the flavor, double the cinnamon! I cooked it at a very low simmer for about 20 minutes, then it started looking like it would be too dry so I added the milk and cooked for another 5-6 minutes. The oatmeal had a nice texture, chewy with lots of nutty flavor. This is now my go-to recipe for steel cut oats. Read more

  Some of you need to observe what a review is.

  This recipe is awesome and my family eats it almost everyday. However, just because you don't like the different style of... oatmeal this cooking method results in or because you don't know how to use your stove, does not a two star review make. First : if it's too watery - you didn't use enough heat. Try again with a little more heat. Yeah, sometimes I make it too watery - a gas stove is its own reward and punishment! Two: When someone says that nobody is willing to wait 30 minutes to cook oatmeal, what they are really saying is "I am not willing to wait 30 minutes to cook oatmeal." Just to let YOU know: I am willing to wait - I've created a life where I can take that time. Just because you haven't doesn't mean the rest of us can't manage our time. Three: If you like a different style of cooking, fine. Personally, I think oatmeal that is re-heated is always too mushy and gross. So, evaluate the recipe on its own merit. Does anyone besides me realize that boiling water, or preparing the oats for soaking overnight take time as well, a s does storing it, reheating it, etc? Any way, Alton got it right on this one.Read more

  Perfect breakfast.

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I made this recipe this morning and it turned out delicious. I only made half the recipe for my boyfriend and I. At the... end, I added some fresh ground nutmeg and finely chopped dates. Next time I'll make the full recipe - my boyfriend finished his before I took the first bite! Also, I'm thinking about adding some toasted pecans next time. Thanks, Alton :DRead more

  i'll NEVER go back!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I read almost all the reviews, so thank you to those for helping me make the PERFECT oatmeal! Apparently the website recipe... doesn't match the tv show. I came up with thIs... I toasted the oats in Smart Balance, used a double boiler, cooked covered, added a 1/2 tsp salt at the end, used all Vanilla Almond Breeze sweetened milk, Splenda Brown Sugar, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. cooked for about 45 mins. The oats had a firmness to it...that we loved but I'll try not toasting the oats next time, cooked them the night before and put in the fridge for morning. My fiance' only liked the instant stuff and doesn't like how I make old fashioned oats so when I came across this I picked up Bobs Red Hill ($2.99/24oz) and bulk steel cut oats (groats) from Whole Foods ($1.39lb). So far Bobs is all I've tried and it turned out tasting soooooo delish... and my fiance loves my oatmeal !!!!!!!!!!! I know the bulk will taste just as good. Yes it takes longer so during the week I'll make the night before and have fresh cooked on the weekends. You just have to be patient... one of these times I'll try the slow cooker method (it cooks for 8-9 hours). Someday I'll get the Zojirushi NS-ZCC18 10 cup Neuro Fuzzy STAINLESS STEEL w/ non stick coating. It has the porridge setting and read it tastes AB FAB! Thank you Alton and reviewers. Hope this one helps others!Read more

  Best oatmeal !!!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I like oatmeal ok but have been board with gloppy rolled oats. I saw this last month and had to find steal cut oats the same... day! I will never go back to rolled oats for breakfast!!! I will only use it for oatmeal cookies. I knoticed that it also takes a lot less sugar and no butter to make this taste great. When I want a richer flavor for the oatmeal I use evaporated milk. It is better for me than the butter and the oatmeal turns out fabulous!! Read more
