She said steel cut oats were better for me because they're easier to digest.

Huh?

What does steel cutting them do for digestion?

4.00 for a little cup of oatmeal. I told her the oatmeal in the cylinder at the store was only .99. It looks the same.

1. She was hitting on you.
2. Where are the pics?
3. Profit.

Pics of barista?

If you want our help, then you must follow the rules.

She thinks you have a weak stomach.

Digest her to show dominance.

She'll telling you how clean her pooper is.......give it the thumb probe just in case.

I laugh everytime I hear the word "barista." Can we have a hip and trendy cool sounding word for the kid who flips burgers too?

Subway has sandwich artists.



 

Bovineologist?

"Barista"...


What's wrong with calling them 'Coffee Wenches'?

I forgot about that!

OP - are you in the habit of taking nutrition advice from somebody who makes coffee for a living?

Do you get investment advice from the kid passing out towels at the gym?

That's what you call getting paid with prestige.........sorry dude, no raise today , but you have been promoted to pizzaologist.

17 minutes and still no pics?

You're slipping TJ.

OP would never be that dumb. That's why he came to GD to get the real truth.

She wanted you to buy her $4.00 cup of oatmeal.

steel cut, the groat is cut into three instead of flakes rolled flat.

no measurable nutritional superiority

Ohhh the Steel Oat Union.

my wife is a member. they believe in the trueness and faith of the Steel Cut Oat.
think "Crossfitters" of the oatmeal world.

Still "Coffee Wenches" if it's a guy?

What does an art history major know about the GI system?

How did she know you're a member?

Did you tell her to STFU and make you a sandwich?

At least she didn't try to start a conversation about race relations with you.

Here's what I'm talking about

Anyone behind a counter is an exert to me. Even th gun shop 7.25 an hr operator

I'm fighting my way up the ladder to pepperoni wizard

 
I'd heard somewhere that cutting them vs. pressing them retained more protein.  I stopped eating them years back though, so didn't really care.

Lol, no kind of oats are good for you. Retarded kids.

There is a local coffee chain called Aroma Joe's in my area that hires rather attractive women almost exclusively.  
The employees are occasionally referred to as "Aroma Hoes"

You mean the employee at the shop that sells the product was trying to talk you into buying the product?

You're right, that's so strange and out of character for employees.

Let's make fun of that employee's job title, that'll make it better!

Cream of Wheat FTW

Does it matter?   I actually sign my emails with "JSLJO", since my boss is the "SLJO".

Did you buy the $4 oatmeal or not?  That wasn't "advice", it was Starbucks Sales 101.

1) she is correct
2) bone her
3) I live near the world head quarters for Bobs Red Mill
and they make some tasty stuff...

And remember, a fibered colon is a happy colon.

Burgermeister.

Steel cut oats and rolled oats (also called old-fashioned oats) are processed differently.



Steel cut oats are chopped up.  That's it.  They are the most minimally processed oats.  They take the longest to cook.



I eat them everyday, but they take so long to cook that I put them in an automatic rice cooker so they get done with out me having to mess with them.  The rice maker is mad



Rolled oats are not cut.  They are rolled thin and then steamed.  Because they are steamed, they cook faster.



So Rolled oats are more processed.



Oatmeal has both soluble and insoluble fiber.  When you process them, you lose one or the other or both and I can't remeber which but since you have access to the internet you can look it up.  Steel cut oats have a lot more fiber than rolled or instant oats and that is the key to them being better.



Steel cut oats take LONGER to digest in the stomach than rolled oats or instant oats.  This is good because it lowers the glycemic index of steel cut oats over rolled or instant oats.  



Steel cut oats taste better.  They have a slightly nuttier taste and a better texture than rolled oats.



I make steel cut oats in the rice cooker by the following recipe.



1.  1/2 cup steel cut oats.

2. 1 1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened.  Vanilla or regular are both good.  You could use regular milk.

3. 1 to 1 1/2 cup water.  Adjust to what you like for thickness.



Cook in Zojurushi rice maker set to Porridge setting.  (Zojurushi is a made in Japan Induction model and cooks rice, oatmeal, bulghur, etc automatically to perfection.  You can set a timer and it starts automatically too, although I wouldn't leave milk or other pershibable items in it for long.)



4.  Rice maker takes an hour to make oatmeal.

5.  When done, Put two table spoons of ground flax seed, 1/4 to 3/8 teaspoon of cinammon, some grated fresh ginger, a touch of all spice, 1/2 bananna, some wild blue berries (krogers has them in the frozen section), some chopped walnuts or pecans.

6.  Stir.



This will make enough for two people.  Try it out until you perfect it.  You can add salt to taste, but I find it doesn't need it.



Once you get it perfected, you can tell your barista friend that you made steel cut oats.  Be sure to tell her that the cinammon you used is real cinamon from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) not the Chinese Cassia that they pass off as Cinamon.  This will light her fire.  Do not tell her that steel cut oats take longer to digest.  



Invite her out to dinner.  If she stays, serve her oatmeal, but make sure you have some eggs around. You will need the protein.  Hopefully.

I'd like to buy a "p" and an "e" please.

 

Stop thinking about my colon.

Accurate.  But misses the point.  Steel cut take longer to digest which lowers the glycemic index which is important to some people.



 

Steel cut oats taste better to me.
They take a long time to cook( about 30 minutes).
I buy my steel cut oats at an Amish store for almost nothing.

I'm to cheap to spend $4 on something I can make almost for free.

I'm also to cheep to buy coffee at those places as mine tastes better and is way less expensive.

Jimmy John's has sandwich ninja!

If it calls itself a barista, it's not really a "guy".

 

GD's ignorance is astounding sometimes.

Ok, that one was pretty good.  

YOU THINK I GIVE A FUCK THINK AGAIN THIS IS MERICA

Same goes for the coffee.

Not a bottled water drinker I see

I'm sorry Sir, we don't have "large".  Did you mean venti?
