Quick-cooking rolled oats (quick oats) are cut into small pieces before being steamed and rolled. Instant oatmeal is pre-cooked and dried, usually with sweetener and flavouring added.

Thanks for that I now know why instant has become so popular in many countries. Here in China (or at least the area I am currently living) Instant Porridge is flooding the shops at the expense of the quick cooking variety. I prefer the quick cooking because I find the instant too sweet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think your Communist overlords/censors need to lay off the exclamation marks!

Instant is horrible. I don't even use the quick cook stuff as I prefer the texture of the 'ordinary' oats.

 

[Keith Oates]

Yes you're correct about the texture but for simplicity for me in the mornings, the quick cook allows me to get out the door on time.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That means having to go to bed an hour earlier.

Nothing, they're both inedible and unecessary, and proper porridge is just as easy to cook.
I'd have thought that with a name like Oates, you might already know this?

If you don't already know, im not going to tell you and you'll never know... this will plague you for years and years to come.

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
