What is the big deal about “steel-cut” foods?

714 viewsOther

I see various product, from oatmeal to other items as advertised as being Steel-cut. The last time I checked, yes, most blades are made from steel. I can’t imagine oatmeal being cut by a wooden or plastic blade.

So why is this even a thing?

On oatmeal it’s a different treatment than you see on other labels and affects how they behave during cooking. You want to know and don’t really want to mix them or anything.

That said you can tell by looking if you know the actual difference, but people following a recipe may or may not so if cookies call for steel cut or whatever they want to clearly label themselves.
