Maybe it's just me..........I noticed with the "quick" oats I'm liable to be a little quick to the outhouse.

I personally find the old fashioned don't really take all that long to cook, certainly not the 5 minutes like on the instructions. I use the GSI mini spatula to keep the raisins from sticking to the bottom and burning.....especially important with titanium cookware. Works great.   (You need to Login or Register

I used to have gastronomical distress when I would eat oatmeal until someone told me to omit the milk. Supposedly milk and oats are a poor combination. Anyway no more gas and loose stool just eating the old fashioned oats straight (no milk). Much better.
