Wanted to chime in about oatmeal...love it for my breakfast when its cold/cool outside! I make a big pot Sunday night and bought 1 c containers @ the dollar store. I make enough for 5 meals. I store in the fridge so I can grab and go. Note, I do use more water than called for so they won't be goopy when I reheat. If I have any left at the end of the week, I throw them in the freezer.Joyhttp://joy-creativelycheap.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887344564846465086.post-62380400655267102442010-05-25T16:49:10.536-07:002010-05-25T16:49:10.536-07:00Steel cut oats taste a lot better.

The texture and taste are so much better. Even if you freeze and reheat later it'll be better than rolled oats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887344564846465086.post-73691631284930497162010-02-21T11:39:44.550-08:002010-02-21T11:39:44.550-08:00Why do you choose Steel-Cut over rolled?

I read somehwere about cooking up a large batch and then freezing individual servings for the week.<br /><br />I tried it and it works great! I have used reusable containers and baggies (not the best option, but in a pinch, they work) to store the cooked oats.<br /><br />Here is the best part, if you don't put the milk in to thin them out until after the reheat, it cools them down quicker.<br /><br />I know this is an old post, but I'm reading this site and thought this might be a good option for others.<br /><br />-mikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8887344564846465086.post-78827619108769183592009-05-27T12:58:32.888-07:002009-05-27T12:58:32.888-07:00I actually do not have a microwave.

I put mine in a pyrex container and take it to work.. reheat at work.. voila!Natalie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15976922821271092425noreply@blogger.com
