How do you prepare your oats? For many years I have been boiling my oatflakes. I would first bring the water to a boil and then add in the oatflakes and boil on a low heat, stirring occasionally. However, for the past year or so, I have been boiling the water and then adding it to the oats in the cereal bowl where I would let it stand for about 10 to 15 minutes. After this time, the oats would have thickened and be ready to eat. I believe that doing it this way is the better way since one would get more nutritional value from the oats. The oats would also be more crispy than if they are boiled..
