What is the difference

[ayceejay]

It depends what you want to do with it. If you want hang wallpaper then the instant is the way to go but for eating you want regular oats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can take oats of the ordinary kind, cook them in the microwave in about 2/3 minutes.
Or just add hot milk, let them soak 10 minutes or so, they are ready to eat.
I eat porridge with fruit, nuts and seeds for lunch: take it to work, add cold milk like for any cereal
I'm weird, I know

Milk, fruit, nuts, seeds - I only add hot water and nothing else. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very bland then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taste due to the different sweetener used

I think Coke has a different formula to Diet Coke (if you ignore the sweetening), and Coke Zero is the Coke formula made with artificial sweeteners, in the same way that New Coke was the Diet Coke formula with sugar.

one cooks quicker than the other

Not really but it is not a strong taste, for me it's sufficient, quick and cheap.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
