Aug 3, 2018 at 18:35 comment added Lee Daniel Crocker Oats are naturally big grains that look kind of like brown rice. In order to make them cookable, those hard shells have to be breached somehow. In the US, you can usually buy either "steel cut" oats which are just groats sliced open, or "rolled" oats which are sliced open and pressed flat between rollers. Both make fine oatmeal; it just takes much longer to cook the steel-cut kind. If you have whole oats, you'll have to find a way to break into them.
Aug 3, 2018 at 16:17 comment added rumtscho I am not sure what you are missing here. Is it that you didn't realize that standard oats have to be cooked before consumption? Or do you know that this is typical, but are asking if there is a way to preprocess them on your own at once, so that cooking is no longer needed later? Also, do cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/63015 or cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/47097 cover what you wanted to ask?

Aug 3, 2018 at 10:04 comment added Spagirl Can you clarify what exactly you have bought? Terminology varies from country to country so if you can describe them or link to something that matches there will be less ambiguity. This site might help To me 'oats' with no qualifier are groats, the whole grain, 'oatmeal' is groats that have been milled, and I make porridge from, Which gets confusing because for some people the thing I call 'rolled oats' are 'porridge oats', whereas the only use I've ever found for them is stopping my bread sticking to its proving basket....
