About McCann’s
The story of McCann's dates back to 1800 when John McCann built a mill at Beamond, on the east coast of Ireland. John McCann's Irish oatmeal secured many prizes for its excellent quality over the years and the company continued to grow steadily. A piece of McCann’s history was created in August 2005 when for the first time production of the trademark 28-ounce tin of steel cut oats exceeded 1 million tins for a twelve month period.

McCann’s has been making the classic oatmeal product for more than 150 years - and it has changed very little in that time--it is still the same real thing. McCann’s is best known for its classic steel cut oats packed in the iconic 28-ounce tin. However, there are many other tasty products available--quick cooking oatmeal, instant oatmeal, and oat bran.

All McCann’s products are non-GMO. They are specially grown by local farmers--there are no GMO oat crops grown in Ireland.

Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars The best quick oatmeal available in the U.S.A., July 17, 2006

Do not confuse this product with the Irish steel cut oatmeal that must be cooked for 30 minutes. That is the best. This oatmeal is not as good, but for a quick cooking product, it is pretty amazing. You can have oatmeal ready in 5 minutes. This oatmeal is best with a little milk, some brown sugar, and some berries or dried fruit. I like dried dates and dried black figs combined in mine, but it is fun to experiment. It's hard to believe that something this good is also good for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leaving My Long and Beautiful Relationship With The Quaker Guy For McCann's, November 1, 2006

I just finished off my first box of "McCann's Imported Quick Cooking Irish Oatmeal". And boy did it go fast! Not because I didn't get my money's worth, but because it was so good. I usually have Oatmeal about 3 times a week, and have always been real loyal to Quaker Oats(not the instant), but I gave these a try and it is now my new favorite, and I have them almost every day now..

Following the cooking directions(this was my first time with a quick cook oatmeal),and cooking just a few minutes(add the oats and cold water together, boil and stir for 3-5 minutes), the oatmeal came out perfect for me the first time, and does every time. With the suggested 1/2 cup Irish Oatmeal to 1 Cup Water, the consistency, for me was perfect. Just a little creamy, and not too soggy. The taste was the big test though, and I loved it. I am cutting out sugar whenever I can, but my Quaker was still one place I used just a little, so I just tried a little non-fat soy milk on the McCann's, and occasionally a spritz of a butter flavored cooking spray(just to have a little variety everyday), and I didn't even miss the sugar at all. Of course, you can experiment by adding a little more oats if you like it a little thicker, or more water for a thinner consistency. Honey, raisins or other fruit go great with it too.There are also instructions for micro-wave use.

If you are a die-hard Quaker fan, and don't want to just dive right in and buy a 6 pack, you can find this brand at the Trader Joe's stores. I also saw the "McCann's Steel Cut Oats" there as well, which I haven't tried yet.

There is no sodium, sugars, or cholesterol. It's low fat and calorie(2gm/150 per 1/2 cup dry serving). A good source of fiber and is pure and natural. Ingredients..100% Irish wholegrain oats. There are several different kinds of these oats available. Click on "McCann's" at top to see the other selections.This one is the "quick cook"(not instant), has a gold trimmed box, with a creamy colored background and "Irish Oatmeal" on a green banner.

A satisfying meal that will keep you going until lunch.

Okay, so, remember to breathe, eat healthy and enjoy!.....Laurie

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Oatmeal!, March 8, 2007

Sure, there are tons of oatmeal options out there and I've tried quite a few. McCanns is the best. For starters I don't like mystery ingredients. McCanns has only one ingredient-- oats, and they only use the highest quality. Because of the way the oats are cut they cook very quick. I micro mine with soy milk in 2:20. After cooking I add cinnamon, ground flax seeds, and some frozen blueberries for a breakfast of champions. After switching to this from eating cereal I've become very lean. I've recommended this combination to many others who have experienced similar results.
