Welcome to the Oats page. Eat your oats they make
you strong!
Renee grew up on a transplanted Irish country farm and she ate
oats every day of her life. She's beautiful and smart so I'm sure
oats is good food.
According to Renee this is how her Mathair fixed the oats.
Pour the oats into a big glass bowl the night
before. You have to use steel cut oats - not rolled. The
texture is much different. Lot's of people swear by McCanns,
but any steel cut oats are better than rolled.
Cover the oats with water so that if you
stuck your finger into the bowl and touched the oats, the
water would go up to your second knuckle.
As you become familiar with the oats and how
they absorb the water you can adjust the level of water - you
may be a one knuckle man, you may be a third knuckle man -
depending on how 'runny' you like your oats.
In the morning, Mathair would pour the oats
into a kettle and set it on the stove, on a low flame - and
proceed to the barn to 'let' the cow. Which means milk the
cow btw. By the time the morning chores were out of the way,
breakfast was ready.
I just put oats in a crockpot and cook on the
lowest setting overnight.
