Oats being cut

JeromeBarry1

With what else does one cut oats rather than steel?

jgnatca

One rolls it between steel rollers.

Or if you want to get fully paleo, grind them in a stone mortar and pestle.

Uh.

Is this a trick question?


What jgnatca said.

When I was a kid I wondered how long one short mile was. I mean, the garish signs on the highway promised they were only one short mile away.

I also scoured the sides of the highway for signs of deer. Those Watch for Deer

Heck my long response got cut off.

If a package says steel cut one must wonder how else the oats get cut?

I think this is a historical add-on. Steel rollers revolutionized grain milling. Steel cut likely meant the purchaser did not have to worry about stone grit in her oats.

And I never found deer where the signs said I would.

Oh, that makes sense now. Steel cut tells the purchaser that there is no stone grit, and thus deserves the higher price of better quality.
