Steel Cut Oats
| Fri, 04-25-2008 - 2:02pm |
I am eating steel cut oats for breakfast. I make a large pot on Sunday evening and then eat it for the rest of the week. How much is a portion once it is cooked. I know it is 1/4 cup dry, but am not sure what it is once cooked and I don't want to eat too much at one time.
Thanks so much

Hi,
You're correct that it would be 1/4 cup dry.
I understand that part. But my problem is I am cooking 3 - 4 cups DRY oats at a time to feed my family for the week. I serve it each morning out of a large bowl and don't know what the appropriate amount to serve is. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
I've always used 1/2 cup cooked as the measurement -- I do use a measuring cup, its easy to go over with that.
I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. I cooked 1 serving of steel cut oats and then measured them to make sure I ate the right amount.
Excellent.
