McCann's Steel Cut Oatmeal, Traditional, 28-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4) -

Customer Reviews:

Best Oatmeal I've Found
McCann's deffinatly deserves all of the awards it has won, plus it has adorable packaging. That great tin is practacle too, most oatmeal comes in cardboard boxes that are easy for pantry pests to get into, but not this sturdy well sealing tin.

If you are in a rush, this may not be the oatmeal for you, buy McCann's instant instead. But if you have the stirring time deffinatly buy the original. It takes a little while to cook, but it is evenly cut so it cooks evenly, unlike some of the other brands I've tried. One of the things I love about this oatmeal is all the wonderfull ways you can flavor it. To get you started there are basic cooking instructions on the can. This oatmeal is healthier for you, it has a relatively low glycemic index, plus it has naturaly accuring protien, perfect for a carb junky like me. Make a big batch and save some for reheating on mornings when you have less time.

Heavenly oatmeal.
Oatmeal is a comfort food for me. I hate the instant stuff as I was home-grown on my grandmother's long-cooking rolled oats that she cooked on a kerosene-burning stove.

When in Ireland many years ago, I had steel-cut oats on several occasions -- another amazing experience. Any time I've tried Irish Oats at restaurants here in the U.S., they've had a funny taste. I suspect most kitchens use shortcuts.

I was thrilled when I purchased these oats, cooked them with care, and tasted the results. Heavenly! No shortcuts to great oatmeal.

OATS IS OATS
This product alternates between being available and not available. Steel cut oats from Ireland can't be much different than steel cut oats from North Dakota. Oats is oats. The can is great and because of the can I would highly reccomend buying this once and then refilling the can with cheaper local oats.

Worth every second...
Those of us who are feeding are kids the microwave oatmeal should be ashamed. Although it does require a full 30 minutes to cook the oats they are worth it. I don't think I could ever eat the mushy rolled oats again. They have a grainy texture and a much "fresher" flavor, I have made oatmeal cookies with them and they were unbelievable! I'm with Alton Brown, definitly Good Eats.

Why do these taste SO good?
Oats is oats, right? Well, apparently not. These steel cut oats have a toasty, nutty, wonderful flavor that is distinct from steel cut oats grown elsewhere. The tin is of course wonderful; it keeps this slightly oily grain fresh and it can be used when empty for holding coins, treasures buried in the backyard or any other number of things.

The oats take longer to cook than standard rolled oatmeal, but that's not a problem if you soak the oats, use a pressure cooker, rice cooker or plan ahead. We love these oats in winter with a dab of butter and a teaspoon or two of local wildflower honey. Good with salt and cream also.
