    Question. What is the difference between “steel cut oats” and regular oatmeal?

      The article that someone else posted explains it well. The thing I would add is that once you start using steel cut oats, you’ll never go back

        Nah, steel cut are alright, but take too much time to be used regularly, for me anyway.

        From the (AI generated?) article…

        Steel-cut oats

        Steel-cut oats are most closely related to the original, unprocessed oat groat.

        Steel-cut oats have a coarser, chewier texture and nuttier flavor than rolled or quick oats.

        They also take longer to prepare, with average cooking times ranging from 15–30 minutes.

        Rolled oats

        Rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats, are oat groats that have gone through a steaming and flattening process.

        They have a milder flavor and softer texture and take much less time to make than steel-cut oats, as they have been partially cooked.
