Guest guest Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 How about starting over, Harry? Just what do you want to know about dry weight versus wet weight? Are you concerned about counting carbohydrates? Maybe it's me, but I'm not sure what your question is. <smile> Dave -- Weather conditions on 11/14/2010 2:00:47 PM in Lancaster, Pennsylvania Clear, 61.0°F Wind:SSE-160° at 12mph Join the BARD Talk list: bardtalk-subscribe Visit the BARD Talk web site: http://www.bardtalk.com Created by Weather Signature v1.32 . http://www.weathersig.com which is which Dry weight or wet weight?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 You tell me. First measure two ounces of dry oat meal, then cook it with water, if that is what you use. Then measure out two ounces of cooked oat meal, and tell me they are the same, if they are.Does each quarter of a cup of dry oat meal contain the same amount of grams of carbs as a quarter of a cup of cooked oat meal? waiting for satori, Harry which is which Dry weight or wet weight?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi Harry, Nice to see you are up to your usual tricks. It does not convert the same with dry oatmeal to wet oatmeal. Because the ¼ cup of dry oatmeal puffs up with cooking to about three quarters of a cup cooked in volume it does not convert equally. Here in Canada, 1/3 of a cup of oatmeal makes ¾ cup cooked so a third of a cup cooked would not be the full portion of the third cup dry oatmeal. Rice is the same. All those grains puff up with the water and make all the rice and you convert the cooked rice into carbs of energy. It would not make any sense to calculate the carbs of energy when we don’t tend to eat it dry. Also other things can change with the cooking process. For example, when rice is converted, it has had some of the starch removed making the rice less potent to our blood sugars. Hope this just helps to either muddy the waters a little bit more or clear the waters. Again, as I said before, we eat things cooked, not raw as a rule so the carbs are for cooked items.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi , No, I think Ruth was saying that 1/3 cup dry (uncooked) oatmeal makes about ¾ cup cooked product. I will have to look up how many carbs ¾ cups of cooked oatmeal contains. I also think that 1 cup of cooked oatmeal might be a serving.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi Harry, it is nice to hear from. Yes Harry. If you to, ¼ cup of dry oatmeal will have the same calories as the ½ cup of to after is cooked.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I agree with you Pat.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yes, I agree that the bulk will change, but I can't see how adding water to it would change the carb count.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi , No, that is how the directions for cooking on the bag of Robin Hood oatmeal reads. One third dry makes three quarters of a cup cooked. So once it is cooked, one third is only a portion of the whole and therefore not the same amount when the one third dry is not cooked.
