Quaker Traditional Porridge Oats 500g

As always high quality jumbo oats. I like the fact that its glutenfree. when I cook it it doesnt get thicker and thicker just cook for less than 5 mins stirring constantly. its palatable and pleasant to swallow unlike ordinary oat especially when you leave it in the pan for awhile after cooking it, it becomes sticky and when it happens its kind of eating loads of glue which is no good. Thats why I always go for GF. And I always look forward to my breakfast every morning. And by the way I only eat porridge for my breakfast and will never get tired of eating it xx highly recommend.

Easy tasty brekkie

I have this most mornings. It takes a couple of mins to prepare. One cup of oats. One of milk & one of water. Mix then put-in microwave for 1 min 20 secs. Take out & stir & then back in for same time. If you prefer it thicker increase time slightly. I sprinkle blueberries & pumpkin seeds. Healthy & delicious

Great oats for porridge and baking

I am reviewing this product because I got a free sample from Ocado. This is a very large pack, but as we have porridge every morning and cook with oats a lot it is great as we do tend to go through quite a few packs! These oats make excellent porridge, biscuits and flapjacks and I find they are a good source of sustained energy. They are so versatile I even add them to crumble toppings which can help to make a pudding much more healthy. There are no husky bits which can be quite annoying with some other brands of oats - these Quaker oats are of an excellent quality. I will certainly be buying again.

Hungry no more after breakfast.

Love these jumbo Oats tried large oats in AustraliaSo I was so happy to see this brand selling jumbo oats when I got home.I eat them every day for my balance wellbeing and healthy eating.

Knowing that the muesli in packets contains sugar and salt (which he needs to avoid) he now makes his own adding his own favourite fruits. He prefers these jumbo oats as they have big flakes. He just pours semi-skim goats milk on them, which being slightly sweeter and creamier tasting than cows milk, satisfies his sweet-tooth. His diabetic tests have come back 'clear', he no longer needs a mid-morning snack, and has lost a noticeable amount of weight.I like them with plain 0% fat/goats yoghurt (for me milk's too 'wet and runny') in the warmer months or as porridge in winter. My Mum made me porridge with Quaker oats when I was a child: it still gives me that 'warm glow' ... More... recommend to eat oats to help lower his blood sugar level which was borderline diabetic.

My preferred porrage oats

I have tried many different oats and these are consistently my favourites. They have the fewest bits of hard chaff, and they cook and soften quickly, Makes great porrage.

Not thrilled

Very disappointed!! Quaker Oats used to be quite good! I just bought this very large 1 KG box of the oats and tried it the next day. It may as well have been labelled 'sawdust' off the work floor. It was horrid! I have since managed to purchase ASDA's own brand of Jumbo Oats! THOSE... are GOOD these... I shan't buy them again! lol Sorry Quaker!

Review of Quaker 1k Oats

A good healthy breakfast. Only takes 3-4 mins in the microwave. You only use your taste in sugar, not the excessive amounts in those you buy ready made. The best breakfast in the winter, warms you up for the day ahead.

So So Oats

I didn't think much to these oats as a school kid 50 years ago and nothing`s changed. I remember having to put honey or jam in them to make them edible. They, on there own are tastless. Even soaking them overnight make no difference. Even the other brand which shares the same customer service address and phone number has the same none inspiring taste. There are other brands out there which are a lot creamier and price per kilo a lot less. Most people are trying to eat healthier but this is bland!

Traditional and versatile

I received these as a review product and pleased to say that the years haven't let Quaker oats down. Having been a staple part of many households for a few generations, it's definitely a brand that can be relied on. Sidenote, we used these not as porridge, but as pancakes! Simple recipe. 40g of oats, blitzed with a hand blender. Add 4 tbsp of 0% yoghurt and 2 eggs then reblend. fry light spray in a frying pan on medium heat... Blaam healthy pancakes!
