I've been thinking of switching over to steel-cut oats. Right now I use regular oatmeal that is the quick-cooking kind. Is it more expensive than regular oatmeal? Any pros or cons to those who've eaten it before? Will my two sons (ages 9 and 6) like the taste of it? Does it take longer to prepare?

Thanks in advance.

It's really chewy. If you like that, go for it.

Otherwise I think old fashioned rolled oats is a good compromise. Faster than steel, but better than instant. And it isn't like it takes a WHOLE lot longer than instant anyway.

Chewy, huh? I don't know if that would go over too well with my family, especially my two sons. Maybe I'll just stick to plain oatmeal. Thanks for the response, astrophe.

Steel cut oats are AWESOME. So yummy and almost nutty... MMMmmmmmmmmmmm. Dunno if kids would like them, don't care, more for me
