Cooked starch.
I only use the "old fashioned" long cooking oatmeal, I cook it for about
1:30-2:00 in the microwave (depends on summer / winter tap water temp),
which probably is undercooked, but I like it that way with some texture
and firmness left to the oatmeal.

and stirred properly. Try starting your oats in cold water, bring to a
boil, simmer until thick, stir and let sit for a couple of minutes. Stir
again and serve.

What Janet mentioned to do is ex actually what I do most mornings and
never get anything slimy

If you don't like it, take non-quick-cooking oats (or steel cut) and
cook them like spaghetti - e.g. in lots of water until they're tender
(al dente) - and then dump the extra starch / water down the drain.
They will cook slower than quick oats, but faster than the usual
method of just barely enough water.

Thanks to everyone. I was just following the directions on the box. If
it is extra starch, I think I'd rather it goes to the bottom of the pot
than onto my hips. :-)

case. I assume that you are eating the oats for some health benefit. Don't
dump the baby out with the bath water. Stir everything together as it is
supposed to be. You wouldn't throw out all the stuff that settles to the
bottom of the pot when you make soup, would you?

I don't eat breakfast until I get to work, so to avoid a rush in the
morning, I'll fix my oatmeal at night. Old fashioned oats, milk, a
pinch of salt, a ton of cinnamon, and some applesauce. Overnight, it
absorbs most of the liquid, so I'll add a little water before nuking
it for a minute.
I end up with hot cereal that's a little al dente, which is
surprisingly pleasant.. And no goo at the bottom of the bowl.

My wife and I have been eating oatmeal every morning for a few weeks.
I've never been a breakfast eater, but I take insulin, and I need to
eat. So we argue. I always win, because I make it. She says that it's
5 minute oatmeal. Well, that's fine, but it takes 20 minutes, and
that's that. I cook it for 10 minutes and then it sits for 10 minutes.
At the end of 5 minutes, there's all this slimy liquid at the bottom.
At 10 minutes there is less, but still some. At the end of 20 minutes,
there is *no* liquid, just oatmeal. I stir it a couple or three times
during the cooking. It needs to be on very low heat during cooking, or
it sticks. A lid for the last 10 minutes helps keep the heat in.

That slime is not starch, it's over cooked oat bran, which is water
soluable. I think oat bran goes to your breasts and makes em sag to
your hips. LOL

Try Oat Bran. Supposed to be healthy for the arteries and it really does
make a delicious cereal. I used to eat it every morning for breakfast.
Made it in the microwave and served it with home made fat free yogurt.
I only quit eating it when I went low carb. <sigh> I miss it.

The benefits of oat bran over just oat meal is significant, in so far
as the lowering of cholesterol is concerned, as well as the overall
quantity of food. I cook Hodgins nearly every morning. It has
lowered my cholesterol from 299 to 107. The lowest reading I ever got
was 96. Just one-quarter cup has 3 grams of soluble fiber from oat
bran, which has the greatest concentration that I have ever seen in
any other hot cereal, and certainly over any dry cereal.
It's the soluble fiber which absorbs the fats which one eats.
After two minutes in the microwave, I usually add some raisins and zap
it for another two minutes. I then add about a teaspoon of Benecol, a
packet of Splenda and some brown sugar. I dilute with low fat milk as
I eat. If available, I'll add strawberries or whatever is around that
catches my attention. I love it, and apparently it loves me. As the
day goes by, I eat whatever I want......and let the oat bran do its
work of extracting out the nasty stuff in the desserts, etc., that I
consume.

Just curious. Why do you use both Splenda and brown sugar?

I like it sweetened, but I hate putting too much real sugar in it,
calorie-wise. At the same time, I like the taste of the oat bran with
the brown sugar. I guess it's my own way of compromising the taste
with the calories.

I use Stevia in the Raw on my oatmeal.

Stevia is associated with liver damage.

email address.
sanne
I don't filter anything - I've seen interesting and (friendly put) not so interesting posts from one and the same posters.
No one forces me to read the latter.
If I'd filter everyone whose posts I don't always agree with - what's left?
Bye, Sanne.

they're using. I can fill in anything as my email address.
