some time ago , I used to make steel cut oats for breakfast , with milk , not water

 

that was the reason I got my first fuzzy (rice and more) cooker.

 

I saw these @ Tj's

ant thought Id give them a try.  N.B.:  rolled oats , not steel cut.

 

followed the directions , 1/2 cup ingredients , and 3/4 cup milk , not water .

 

hot @ two minutes .  however , the bowl needs longer too ' steep '  than indicated.

 

tomorrow Ill just leave it in the micro for a bit , and reheat if needed.

 

note the ingredients :  no added semi-lethal ingredients !  and , as you might guess 

 

pretty tasteless w/o amendments .  I can imagine what this would taste like plain , made w water.

 

I added some Tj's honey , a knob of butter , some dried cranberries

 and eventually some fresh blueberries :

I added my personal salt , and this needs salt.  but its nice ConAgra is not dosing your salt.

 

over all , out of the pouch , this need a lot of help.  ' Healthy ' usually needs help.

 

but its chilly now , and hot cereal is pretty nice .

 

and this is very easy to prepare.

 

and sticks with you.

it has a similar salt content to the white mozo 

 

and citrus flavors along w a little sweetness .

 

it might be nice on grilled // broiled salmon and such .

Bummer.

 

visited my Local this AM :

 

no walnuts , chopped or not chopped.

 

forgot to ask , so gave them a call :

 

they were surprised :   due November 15th.

 

so if you use them regularly , and see a pack or 8 on your Local's

 

shelves : snap them up.

 

now I have to look up " Nuts :  what's tasty and not so bad for you "

 

Bummer.

And this is why Wirecutter is terrible at ranking any foods or food related products.
