Talk:Rolled oats

Untitled
"Rolled oats are the primary form of bait for biologists trapping terrestrial small mammals in temperate zones." -- a pretty insignificant use, isn't it. Very "Wikipedish" (in the quirky, bizarre sense). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.190.207.35 (talk) 00:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge with Oatmeal
This article ought to be merged with the Oatmeal article. --Ericjs (talk) 19:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just checking this page as I was going to recommend that Steel-cut oats be merged here, or both merged into an article called oats or something similar. I like this proposal. vulture19 14:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Clarify "whole" oats
The term "whole" oats is not defined. Does it refer to oats with the bran on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.239.243.252 (talk) 02:36, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

remove "further"
"...raw oat groats are often further steam-treated..." I think we should remove "further." Or, if this is a second steam, we should mention the first one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by B3141592653 (talk • contribs) 18:33, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

dubious editor, scrutable edits
has recently added the same gibberish fifteen times now to another article (Battlement), so I'm curious about whether those of you who know something about rolled oats have an opinion on the recent sweeping changes of the word rolled to either milled or whole. —Tamfang (talk) 01:19, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Conjecture supported by bogus citations
"Saving its nutritional values destroyed during cooking." cites a paper, the entire focus of which is about the stability of fortification additions to food and is inappropriate. Additionally this paper makes no mention of oats. The link is deceptively titled “Vitamin stability after cooking.” The second is about the toxicity of heated fats, the focus of which is the reuse of fry oil and the manufacture of hydrogenated oils, also not applicable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.61.207.7 (talk) 19:38, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

In oatcakes?
I've never seen oatcakes with rolled oats, only with oat meal (i.e. ground rather than rolled). Where can we see these rolled-oat oatcakes? Maybe this is just that frequent confusion in which someone colloquially calls rolled oats "oatmeal" and has no word for ground-up oats. Or maybe I just haven't seen enough oatcakes. :) TooManyFingers (talk) 15:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
