What it is
Millville Steel Cut Oats are whole oat groats that have been cut into smaller pieces with steel blades. This process results in a hearty texture and a longer cooking time compared to rolled or instant oats. They are a staple for those seeking a wholesome start to their day, providing sustained energy.

- Hearty breakfast porridge
- Baked oatmeal dishes
- Savory grain bowls
- Oatmeal cookies
To prepare steel cut oats, typically combine one part oats with three to four parts liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. Some prefer to cook them longer for a creamier consistency. They can also be prepared overnight by soaking them in liquid in the refrigerator.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats, which are steamed and flattened, steel cut oats are simply chopped. This means they cook more slowly and maintain a chewier, more distinct texture. Instant oats are pre-cooked and dried, resulting in a mushy texture and a much faster cooking time.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast cereal will appreciate these oats.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of the steel cut oats in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing odors from the surrounding environment. Proper storage ensures the oats remain suitable for cooking for an extended period.
