Millville Traditional Steel Cut Oats
What it is
Millville Traditional Steel Cut Oats are whole oat groats that have been cut into two or three smaller pieces. This process results in a chewier texture and a longer cooking time compared to rolled oats or instant oats. They are a wholesome grain product, offering a satisfying breakfast option. The oats are minimally processed, retaining their natural form and texture.
How people cook with it
These oats are a versatile base for a hearty breakfast. They can be prepared simply or customized with various additions.
- Hearty breakfast bowls
- Baked goods
- Savory porridges
- Granola additions
To prepare Millville Traditional Steel Cut Oats, combine one part oats with three parts water or milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. For a creamier consistency, you can add more liquid during or after cooking. They can also be prepared in a slow cooker overnight for a convenient morning meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats, which are steamed and flattened, steel-cut oats are simply chopped. This means they retain more of their original shape and require a longer cooking time. Their texture is distinctly chewier and more robust than the softer, quicker-cooking varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks seeking a substantial and customizable breakfast grain will appreciate these oats.
How to keep the rest
