5.0 out of 5 stars McCann's is the real McCoy!, July 22, 2006

By	Jeddy 3 - See all my reviews

This is the real thing, folks -- oatmeal as it should be. If you watch "Good Eats" on the Food Network, you've seen Alton Brown praise steel-cut oats and dis rolled oats (the "Quaker Oatmeal" stuff). I personally love rolled oats, but if you don't, don't let that stop you from buying the McCann's. The texture, the taste, the "oomph" are nothing like your ordinary breakfast oats. Where rolled Quaker oats are a bit slippery and thin, these steel-cut oats are much firmer with a lot more tooth and a much heartier, nuttier flavor.

Be aware that you have to invest a little time to cook this cereal -- half an hour on the stovetop. Or try boiling the water the previous night, turning off the heat, and then putting the oats in to sit overnight. Then finish cooking them in the morning for 10 minutes or so. There are other shortcuts, too -- try a Google search. Whichever way you try, you may be spoiled for other hot cereals forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Oatmeal, February 15, 2007

By	B Yourself "Stay at home mom" (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews

My husband and I love this oatmeal! I prepare it the night before by boiling 2 cups of water. I take the pot off the burner and pour in 1/2 a cup of oatmeal. I let it sit covered overnight. At the same time I place some raisins in a small container with water to plump them up overnight. The next morning I cook the oatmeal for 10 minutes, I throw in the plumped raisins, an apple- sliced, cored and cut up, add cinnamon and some agave (natural sweetner) and the rest is history.

We aren't hungry til lunch. A great way to start the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best oatmeal on the market....., November 24, 2006

By	AuburnTygr (Brent, AL USA) - See all my reviews

McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal has the best flavor & texture of any oatmeal available. However, it takes a little experimenting with all the methods of cooking to find the cooking method that is right for your individual taste. I invested in a small (6 cup) microwave rice cooker and use the following recipe: Bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil in an uncovered microwave rice cooker. Stir in 1/4 cup oatmeal, cover and lock rice cooker lid and allow to sit overnight. The next morning place rice cooker in microwave and cook for approximately 12 minutes at 40% power (Using reduced power keeps the rice cooker from overflowing). Remove from microwave and let sit for 7-10 minutes. Remove lid and add toppings of your choice (brown sugar, butter, milk, dried fruit, stir & enjoy. Makes 1 serving.
