I have never preboiled the quick oats and have never had a problem with them not being preboiled. I just chuck them i the mash.

No need to preboil quick oats.  Just the "regular" ones.

I’ve used Quaker rolled oats a few times in stouts.  Just put them in the mash, no precooking, but I‘ll try that next time.  I made a nice “farmhouse” saison this fall with a half pound of oats, flaked maize, and wheat malt along with the barley.  Tossed in some sage, rosemary and thyme from the garden, it being a farmhouse ale  and all. 

My granddad worked for Blueseal feeds his whole life, and he ate Quaker Oats every morning.   When he got into his nineties and his mind started to slip, he would endlessly regal me with stories about how they processed oats at the mill....my grand Ma would yell at him, “stop repeating”!

That is a good warning for the rest of us...Quaker Oats every morning, repetition later in life.
But wait! 90's? Maybe I better do what he did!
