The Silver Palate Oatmeal, Thick & Rough, 14-Ounce Box (Pack of 4)

Great oatmeal. Leaves others, like Quaker, in the dust. I like to make a bit “al dente.” 8 minutes. Saves cooking time over steel-cut oats. Not quite the same, but I prefer Silver Palate.

I used to not like oatmeal, it was too watery. This brand changed my mind, first it's easy to make just take 1/3 cup oatmeal to 3/4 cup hot water. I use the water from the hot water spigot on my sink. You microwave it for ten minutes on Los power. My 9ven is pretty low powered so I use 40 percent and it comes out perfect. You then can add your favorite sweetener and my got is cinnamon, the spicy one. This oatmeal is chewy and filling, especially on a cold morning. It's delicious and to know how good it is for you is just another benefit. Also there is no stirring so you can do other things to get ready while It's cooking.

Great taste and texture plus it lowers cholesterol

If the only oatmeal you've eaten is Quaker Oats, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how much better Silver Palate Thick & Rough Oatmeal is. The texture is chewy rather than mushy, and the taste is nutty rather than bland. I make it with milk rather than water for extra richness. Throw in some raisins, dried cranberries, fresh fruit, walnuts, a little cinnamon sugar -- whatever you like and have on hand. It's a delicious, nutritious and satisfying breakfast. Be sure to follow the directions carefully if you cook it in the microwave. You'll need a deep bowl and no higher than 50 percent power level; otherwise it will boil over. It's not an instant breakfast by any means, but well worth the time.

Chewy, hearty. Has body. Yummy

a little stouter than Quaker Old-fashioned style oats try these if you like oatmeal with a little more muscle

This is a healthy and tasty alternative for breakfast. It has a thicker and chewier texture than oatmeal that I was previously used to. I appreciate that it can be made quickly and easily on the stove or microwave (my family prefers the stove top) - a hot and wholesome way to start the day. Make it in water or milk; sprinkle in some vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup and/or brown sugar; and serve with fresh fruit or nuts it is filling and satisfying. The box claims that it "splendidly nutritious" and "helps to reduce cholesterol". That may be true, but we go back to it again and again for its taste.

my favorite oats !!!
