All the oats we can buy seem to be rolled oats, just sometimes they are sold whole, and sometimes they are cut up smaller and are called quick-cook. (Things are even more confused by the fact that Americans call porridge 'oatmeal' but UK and Aus use the term 'oatmeal' to refer to ground/powdery oats.)<br /><br />I just did a search and found this on wikipedia, which makes sense:<br /><br />"Oat flakes that are simply rolled whole oats without further processing can be cooked and eaten as "old-fashioned" oatmeal, but more highly fragmented and processed rolled oats absorb water much more easily and therefore cook faster, so they are sometimes called "quick" or "instant" oatmeal."aristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385270763433270372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207304985271375727.post-30615443754417733082009-06-11T23:46:41.066+10:002009-06-11T23:46:41.066+10:00THESE are flapjacks?

You mention variations of oats, I know quick cook oats, but I have rolled oats, which I thought were porridge oats, what's the difference in those plase?Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730025899595026688noreply@blogger.com
