What it is
Pics Quick Rolled Oats are whole grain oats that have been rolled flat. This process flattens the oat groats, making them cook faster than steel-cut oats. They are a pantry staple for many households, offering a convenient way to enjoy a warm breakfast. The oats are a good source of carbohydrates and are a versatile ingredient in many dishes.
How people cook with it
These oats are commonly used to make a hearty breakfast cereal. They can also be incorporated into baked goods and other savory dishes.

- Baked oatmeal
- Granola ingredient

To prepare a simple bowl of oatmeal, combine a portion of the oats with water or milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency. This usually takes only a few minutes due to their quick-cooking nature. You can also add them to muffins, cookies, or bread dough for added texture and flavor. For a savory application, they can be used to thicken stews or casseroles.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to old-fashioned rolled oats, quick rolled oats are cut into smaller pieces before being rolled. This makes them absorb liquid more rapidly and cook in a shorter amount of time. Steel-cut oats, on the other hand, are simply chopped oat groats and require a much longer cooking period.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining oats in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can last for a considerable amount of time.
