[at-l] Oatmeal...

[ellen at clinic.net (Bob C)]

It's ground a bit finer, so it cooks a bit faster. It also usually is about four times more expensive, and you don't have to add sugar, the manufacturer has added more than enough. I think quick cooking oatmeal is a reasonable compromise. The package says it takes a minute to cook. I usually give it two minutes -- well that plus the 2.3 seconds it takes to add my own sugar and raisins and such.
