SC - oats

[Decker, Terry D.]

Instant oats have been pre-cooked and dried, so they will cook quickly.
Scotch oats are probably oats grown and packaged in Scotland.  The instant
oats will soften faster than the regular oats.  Results may or may not be
predictable depending on the recipe requirements.  

I would recommend checking the packages against the recipe.  If the recipe
calls for oats, you want oats.  If it calls for oatmeal you want oatmeal.
For baking I prefer regular oats and oatmeal over the instant.
