How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional rolled oats, instant oatmeal has been processed further to break down the oat groats into smaller flakes. This processing allows it to absorb liquid and cook much faster. Steel-cut oats, for example, retain more of their original shape and require a longer cooking time.
