  • No one boils walnuts or toppings, that ruins the taste and texture and destroys nutrients

  • It looked like you had more than half a cup of the oats! Alsom Cynthia is a greal looking gal and a great sense of humor. I really liked it when she started fooling around with her ad-lib siinging and dancing. It'd be greattp have her instruct on some recipe with her singing as she's cookking. Dont'ya think???

  • damn, you got it going on pimp.

  • When the boil gets slower and deeper I usually take it off and eat it then.

  • julikca,

    If it's not crunchy, it's done, at least for me. You can cook it longer and add more water to soften it up, but it sounds like you know what you're doing. How was it?

  • i simmered it on MEDIUM for about 20 minutes, but i can't tell if it's cooked. So I just ate it....

    Does it take longer to digest it or should I not have eaten it at all?

  • STOP IT! STOP IT!

    lol I hate whistling kettles

  • is this the only way to eat it? or can i just eat it with water?

  • Freaks

  • lol she is crazyyyy i like her she cracks me up

  • Hope you didn't get burnt too bad, but great vid!

  • You are funny!

  • thank you so much. i am off today and really in the mood for some oatmeal. My wife usually makes it, but she is working. also the peanut butter is a nice touch.

  • is Quick Oats okay to eat? Or is regular better?

  • @Kaboose786 Steel cut oats are the least processed as they are whole oats that have been sliced. Regular rolled oats are whole oats that have been steamed and pressed. Quick oats have been pre-cooked, dried and rolled - more processing.

  • Great point you made at the beginning about the oats just being cut and NOT steamed or pressed. This would lead me to believe that they are processed less and more natural? So if we were to take this a step further, what are they like when they are harvested in there whole form? Do they just harvest them, cut them and then packaged to eat? Why are rolled oats steamed and pressed down anyway? surprised you put raisins and WALNUTS in the boiling water, wondering what that does to the flavor?

  • @fmbighair YES the oats that are cut have less done to them than rolled oats. You can purchase whole oats. They need to be soaked and cooked quite a whole. Not easy to digest. I believe that the heat on the walnuts and raisins improves their flavor. You can add them raw if you prefer.

  • @cookusinterruptus ok, I understand. So you can actually buy whole oats that haven't been rolled OR cut at all? I'll have to look for this. I was just wondering about the walnuts/raisins cuz I was concerned they would get watered down since you add them with the oats before the water gets absorbed?

  • lol she burned her mouth at the end. she set herself up for destruction when she put the spoon in there.

  • OATS AND SQUATS

  • @Gannondalf I've never seen 1 impressive physique from /fit/.

    Misc >>>> /fit/

  • @NJnaturalBB lol settle down u cheeky kunt im aware

    i changed over not long after posting this comment...

  • @Gannondalf everythingwentbetterthanexpect­ed.jpg

  • Maybe you shouldn't pour boiling water into Pyrex.

  • this is the best cooking show I have ever watched.

  • i LOVE when the girl comes in singing about peanut butter, LMAO!

  • Thumbs up for the blonde and her third degree mouth burn

  • thanks man that was really helpful :)

  • the daughter was a fox

  • Good shot DAD. To make the oats ready for baking, just grind to powder?

    Thanx, the lost cook!

    RIGHT.

  • R they serious? Why did she want him to add salt? If he boiled the walnuts that long they would be mushy.

  • how do you make a big batch without it turning into a solid mass after its been in the fridge overnight

  • @hypnos315 You have to add more liquid and re-heat. Like most cooked food, moisture is lost in the refrigerator.

  • christopher walken?

  • this guy is a badass.

  • I like this guy. He's funny.

  • The daughter is hot.

  • She's really excited about those oats.

  • this is pretty much what i did. i didn't know you can tell it's done just by sound. i figure just tasting them is the best strategy.

  • Oats are very good at moving bad Cholesterol out of your body eat oats every day.. Not instant Oats they are full of sugar and are processed eat regular oats Steel cut oats or Irish Oat meal and whole wheat oatmeal....

  • @canvasguy "whole wheat oatmeal"

  • his daughter is a funny fergie wanna be. 2 thumbs up

  • Thank you. I refer to this video everytime I make steel cut oats.

  • Where did the young lady get all those tats? Almost looks like she has a couple hidden ones.

  • The singing greatly detracts from this recipe. Nothing personal but I hate cooking shows, professional or amateur hour where their is an effort to make it "hip or cool" by singing or some other inane antics.

    Thanks for the recipe. You sure know how to eat well. I'm going to try the Glycaemic Index diet.

  • @supercooled Um wow, chill, singing makes everything better. =)

  • Forget what uxb67 is talking about! We like Jane! "Gettin up a spoon up in there" Thats my girl!

  • Your tatted up wigger daughter must be the apple of your eye.

  • "puh , puh , puh " lol

  • What a hilarious family and concept for cooking videos. Poor Jane burned her mouth tho :( If you really like steel cut oats, put 1 cup of oats, 4 cups of water and whatever else you like in the crockpot over night. Viola! Great for breakfast. :)

  • This guy is great! Can't wait to try these oats ~

  • I hate to be picky, but kinesthetic does not have anything to do with smell and sound...kinesthetic has to do with touch and movement.

  • Please tell me, how many grams is 1/2 cup? I live in Holland, and we don't use cups!

  • about 185 grams

  • @babbelknabbel25

    You can google that information easily.

  • You are a great teacher! You should do this show ALL the time....so funny too!

  • l love pb and banana sandwich. been eating them all my life. I prefer white bread with mine.

  • Dear Mr. Steve,

    What do you think of these new "Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats" such as the one by McCann's or the one I just bought by Trader Joe's? They look just like steel cut oats but you can cook in them in less time and in the microwave. I know you're not a fan of the microwave even though there isn't a sufficient amount of evidence to prove it's unsafe... but what do you think of this kind of steel cut oat? Any good? My problem is that I don't eat with water, I eat them with milk. Boiling

  • I haven't tried the McCann's or the Trader Joe's quick cut oats. I am suspicious! Do you like them? I'm old school but I'll try them soon and get back.

  • If you soak your oats as instructed, they will be quick cook.

  • @kidnkorner If you soak them, is the ratio still 4 parts water to one part oats?

  • every time somebody recommends using peanut butter it sounds gross until you try it. I remember someone told me to eat banana and pb sandwich and i almost got sick thinking about it until i tried it. So good.

  • Have you ever had peanut butter and cheese? So goo.

  • well, what kind of cheese? I'd be willing to try something like that!

  • Parmesan, not grated. Or romano. Also, low fat penut butter is better with cheese. Works well on crackers too.

  • There's a video with more than a little weirdness. But, it's the good kind...

    I like to stir mine the whole time. Builds the morning heat in the right arm...

  • haha great vid, reminds me of curb your enthusiasm.. thanks for the cooking tips too!

  • I just caught this @ random..will check to see I may get steel cut oats at a bulk place and of course add organic peanut butter might try soy or almond milk to see what it might taste like thanks for sharing!

  • I just had some! Bananas, frozen blueberies, fresh strawbeRries from the garden, raisins and walnuts. I swear when we did the video steel cut oats had recently been 98cents a pound, in bulk. Now it's more, but still cheap. $1.28/lb.? Does that sound right?

  • I love my steel cut oats with peanut butter and banana!

  • CAN YOU USED SOYMILK INSTEAD OF WATER?

  • If you want to. It will taste differently.

  • I add a Tbsp of flax seed...I've got to try peanut butter

  • oops, you said steel cut oats less than $1.00 per lb, my mistake, I thought it was the walnuts! But again, where do you get 'bulk' steel cut oats??

  • Check out your local natural foods coop, or Whole Foods store. They will have all kinds of grains, beans and nuts in bulk.

  • where do you get the walnuts for $1.00 a lb. I got some 'bulk' walnuts @ Giant food and they are $6.99 a lb . Please post and thanks!

  • I'd like to have her with my oatmeal

  • great video

  • too funny

  • "...get a spoon up in dat..." LOL!

  • I tried something new. Steel cut oats cooked in a solar cooker. They are the best I have ever tasted. What I did was basically cook them about 4 hours until they were done, then reheated them in the solar cooker the next day with no refrigerator in between. I cooked them without the reflectors so the temp. stayed at 160-190 F. That way I didn't have to do much except move the oven a couple of times. I made a huge pot...5 servings which is 1 plus 1/4 cup dry. Better than nuking.

  • Not everyone posts, but I have been getting schooled bya few friends who are part of the true steel cut oats cult. So there may be an "advanced steel cut oats" video coming up. I stand by the way we did it, even with the peanut butter option. But here's what I'm learning. Cook it on a lower heat and stir as little as possible. When you stir use the handle end of the wood spoon. And a portion of that water can be milk. I tried it. 3 water to one milk. Fluffy. Awesome.

  • you guys are ADORABLE!!

  • I like my steel cut oats with dried blueberries and agave nectar. Delicious! Need to try the butter saute mentioned earlier though

  • I love this guys enthusiasm to perform his wifes show. He's such a burn out.

  • I heard somewhere recently that microwave ovens strengthen our immune system. I'm not sure I believe that, but this recipe does sound tasty and convenient. And I suppose you only have to measure one time if you use the same bowl.

  • Wow. I am generally skeptial of microwave ovens. I feel that the jury is out on their long-term effects. Like "non-stick" skillets, I think that their affect will prove to cause more harm than good. If you have a reference to the comment you made I would love to see it!

    Cynthia

  • Before you cook the steel cut oats saute them in a bit of butter in a frying pan until they smell like butterscotch. Mmmmm.

  • That sounds fabulous! I'll try it.

    Cynthia

  • I tried the butterscotch approach this morning. The smell made my day. I heard from an old man on the ferry that he did that too, and used half milk and half water. I tried that too. Too much luxury for my taste. Not good for a lactose intolerant person either. But I'm down with the sautee...

  • I make mine in the microwave using 1/2 cup of the oats, 2 cups of water which I don't need to measure cause it just fills the bowl, nuke for 6 min. then let it set overnight. In the morning, I stir and reheat for exactly 3 min. on high and they are perfect. They never boil over and the whole process takes me less than a minute of preparation. Since I eat 6 servings of oats a day, I've become an expert at cooking them. I don't use salt either.

  • You eat 6 servings of oats a day? I want to hear more about that! I hope it isn't that full bowl full 6 times a day. That would put me to shame. That would be a lot of oats. But since I can't see you, who knows? Maybe you're Mr. Ed. I'm imagining that you dip into that daily serving 6 times. Do tell. I want to know. Also. Do you refridgerate the oats at night, or just let them sit out? Do you eat it straight, or add stuff? "Here here" on the no salt...Thanks...Steve

  • Hi. Sometimes I add frozen blueberries along with Splenda. Honeyville sells 50 lbs. for 53.48 including shipping. I'm vegetarian, trim and healthy far as I know. I LOVE OATS. No, I don't refrig. or add anything else.

  • Thanks for the Honeyville Blueberry tip. At that price I think I'll buy a 50 lb box myself. We should do a spin off, "America on $10 a day". It would be tips on eating well for cheap. I have a friend who wrote a book about dumpster diving for fresh food in Seattle a number of years ago. He had schedules of what stores threw out on which days. He ate really well. Though I suppose you'd have to call him a risk taker.

  • Absolutely. Some of the best foods for a person are really inexpensive. Oats, rice, beans, etc. You can spend a lot of money for hype, fancy packaging, organic, and the so-called value-added products, but I strive for simplicity. I picked up some donuts at Walmart the other day for my daughter's sleepover. Got there at 7 am just in time for them to throw away hundreds of old donuts...that they were selling one min. earlier...straight into the trash. What a waste.

  • I used to volunteer at a plae called "Francis House" where they picked up food like that and served them with free coffee to people who needed clothes, or a warm place to hang out during the day. Hey Wal'Mart! With a little research and a phone call I'll bet you could find someone to make a pick up every day or 2. (Not that "cookus interuptus" is recommending Wal-Mart doughnuts as a fresh, local, organic breakfast, but still...) That service could be part of the "cheap food" spin off.

  • Yes, they might just allow a homeless shelter or something like that to pick them up. Problem is, this is not a poor area and there are almost no homeless around, unless they are passing through. If they allowed people to buy them as day-old donuts, they might lose money cause those same people will just buy fresh and pay top price, hence they just throw them away. Makes sense from a business POV, but it seems like bad Karma to me. dkw

  • I would suggest skipping the Splenda (chlorinated sugar)and just prinkle a little brown sugar on top. Unless you are diabetic, in which case use a little stevia if you want sweetness. Research shows that people who use non-caloric "foods" actually create cravings for carbohydrates resulting in weight gain instead of the weight loss they were seeking.

    Cynthia

  • How about some Mexican sugar (piloncillo) its cone shaped and it natural there are about 70 calories in a cone is that the same as brown sugar...Thanks

  • Do you have more info? Like how it's made? where you get it?

    Cynthia

  • Great thank you for your explanation on oats
