| I sure hope this is not a typical question, but I didn't have the zeal to search through thousands of posts dealing with steel cut oats. What I'm wondering is if anyone here has had success making this with a grain mill? As in they took the whole oat groat and ran it through a mill on a really high setting - like cracked wheat or something of the like. Would that be about the same thing as what you buy in the store? |

| Well, I've done some research on this in the last day, and it seems like I can get something comparable to steel cut oats by using my grain mill on a really course setting. So I guess I'm just going to have to experiment! |

| why not just buy it cut up? or are you growing your own oats? you could cook the whole groat too, it would just take even longer! |

| Lol, call me one of those freaks who cares about the (very) minute details, but the biggest reason is that it hasn't lost as many nutrients if I'm cutting it myself. I don't (for the most part) like to eat foods that have little to no value to my body (the reason I'll never buy a south beach product other than the book). The longer anything that has already been cut is exposed to the air, the more nutrients are lost. The other reason is that it's tons cheaper for me to buy the oats unprocessed. As I already have a grain mill (for making my own whole wheat flour- yes, I'm odd :oops: ) I figure it's not too hard for me to just cut some oats up in the morning. I'm sooooooooo looking forward to it in phase 2 :D |
