Oatmeal question

[Vdcnsrg]

Can any of you please tell me how much water and how much oat do I need too make oatmeal? I'm talking in grams and milliliters if it's possible. So far I've eaten the oats with cold milk and a banana but now I want to boil it in water first and see how it tastes. Would 100grams oats and 200 milliliters be OK? Do I need more, less? thanks

I cook mine in the microwave... I put oats in a microwave safe jug, cover with about 1cm of water, cook for 50 seconds on 50% power, stir, and repeat until it starts expanding. It's much quicker and less mess than boiling on the stove (unless you take your eyes off it and it explodes in the microwave).

I count this as one serving, if I want more, I double the amount of everything:

40g raw oats
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup hot water

Not sure how much water would you need if you excluded the milk, personally, I think it tastes like rubbish that way.

After taking mine with cold/warm milk, nothing beats it.

I says how to make it on the god damn container!

[Vdcnsrg]

It doesn't say anything on the god damn container. I buy plain oats, the only thing it says are the calories, proteins, fats, etc. To the rest of you, thanks for your answers.

[KJR246]

You but oats and it doesn't say how to make them? I go through a tub a week and I've never seen one without directions.

Unless you buy it wholesale.

[Vdcnsrg]

Trust me all it says on the package are what I mentioned. Like I said I used to eat them with cold milk, I didn't needed any instructions on how much water and such I need. Well I'll give it a try and see how it tastes.

[KJR246]

Oh. My bad. Water is different for some people. some people like it all soupy and porridgy. I like just enough water to get the oats wet. Then I microwave so I have one solid oat block.

[Vdcnsrg]

OK, thanks

Wow, someone else does this? I thought I was alone in my solid oat wierdness.... Washing up the bowl is a real bastard though.

Lol, That's the only way I can eat it.

Hahaha... I sometimes cook my oats to a solid brick and stir through a shot of espresso :O

I like mine soupy and drink it out of a styrofoam cup at work. I just use the hot water section on our coffee maker, let it sit and get a little solid, then dump some cool water to cool it off some. Stir it up and drink away.

I'm a big texture eater though, and would take me 45 minutes to eat a cup of solid oat clump

I just buy the quaker instant oats. Quick, easy, and I go with the no sugar added apple cinnamon, so it's tasty. And I had sloppy oats. Mine has the consistency of a moist sponge.

[TinaBee]

It's one part oats to 2 parts liquid and heated until you like the consistency.

DING DING DING DING!!!!

If you didn't like dry oats with milk and a banana, you probably weren't making it correctly.

1. Blend 1 cup of oats into a fine powder
2. Add 1 scoop whey powder
3. Add 2 cups of milk, blend.
4. Add 1 banana, blend.
5. Add 1 ounce of honey, blend.
6. Chug.
