Roland Steel Cut Oats
What it is
Roland Steel Cut Oats are whole oat groats that have been cut into two or three pieces with steel blades. This process results in a chewier texture and a more robust oat flavor compared to rolled oats. They are a wholesome grain that can be a satisfying part of a meal. The oats are minimally processed, retaining their natural form.
How people cook with it
These oats are a versatile ingredient, perfect for starting your day or adding substance to other dishes.
- Breakfast porridge
- Savory side dish
- Baked goods
- Granola base
To prepare, combine one part steel cut oats with three parts liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. You can also cook them in a slow cooker overnight for a convenient breakfast. For a quicker method, soak them overnight before cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats which are steamed and flattened, steel cut oats retain their original shape and have a denser, chewier texture. This makes them cook longer but offers a more substantial bite and a distinct nutty flavor that many prefer.

Home cooks looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast grain will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage ensures the oats remain suitable for cooking and retain their quality for future use.
