5.0 out of 5 stars I cannot say enough good things about this product., July 20, 2006

By	K. Varner "Varnerific" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard about steel cut oats on the Oprah show about its health benefits. First of all I DO NOT like regular oatmeal like you buy in the grocery store. I don't like the slimy texture. But I figured I'd try steel cut oats and I'm glad I did. They are delicous and very good for you! The warm nutty aroma when they are cooking is very appetizing and when you add a little bit of sugar or splenda and some cinnimon, it tastes fantastic! I also sometimes skip the cinnimon and add a tablespoon of granola and/or some dried berries. Excellent healthy breakfast. I highly recommend this product.

For those of you who are asking what the difference is between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal:

-Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. Golden in color and resembling mini rice particles, they are as nature intended - nothing added and nothing taken out.

-Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not the same, May 12, 2007

By	love-r-oats (Northern Illinois) - See all my reviews

We purchased this item because Amazon was out of the 16 oz. boxes of traditional McCann's Steel Cut Oatmeal, and several reviews indicated that there was no difference between the 5 minute variety and the traditional long cooking oats. Wrong. The taste is very similar, but the texture and nuttiness of the traditional McCann's is missing from this imposter. Steel cut oats are wonderful, in great part, because of the texture. It's missing from the 5 minute variety, or at least substantially reduced. A poor substitute for the real thing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good healthy oats with a bit of tooth..., November 1, 2006

By	knb53 "knb53" (Edwardsville, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Delicious and healthy... much better than regular oats... Be aware that during the first phase of cooking (in the microwave, anyway) it will bubble up and over even a deep bowl if you don't keep a close eye on it, stop the microwave frequently to stir, etc. Not a problem once it starts to thicken up.

Great taste and texture.... to the reviewer who cooked it all night in the crockpot, to quote Dr. Phil, "What were you thinkin'??" (Southern accent on "thinkin'.) Maybe someone said that's the way to do it, but I think one of the great things about this product is it's al dente texture when cooked properly. Good stuff, Maynard!
