While marketing for healthy breakfast fare,I tripped across this tin of' Mc Cann's, Steel Cut, Oatmeal several years ago and decided to give it a try. I did and now I am all but addicted to it! I followed the directions to have perfect oatmeal. It was perfect but the drawback was the 25 to 30 minutes to cook it, and to do this daily! I like mine 'al dente' so I fast cook it on high temperature until most of the water has boiled out about 10 minutes, then cover it to simmer it the remainder of the cooking time. However with this method, one has to stir the oatmeal very often while it is simmering. Then along came a friend who suggested that I make a full batch, 1 cup of this oatmeal to 4 cups of water, and put the remainder of what wasn't eaten in a covered bowl in the frig. This I did, and still do. Now I scoop out the amount I want to reheat, place it in a bowl stirring in a little water to loosen it up, microwave it for 2 minutes or less depending on the amount I am reheating, and I have almost an instant breakfast! Since it so crunchy and so delicious all by itself ( it doesn't even taste like oatmeal!) that it really does not need any extras!Try it and enjoy!!!

I always buy this oatmeal from Amazon. 4 cans for around $23. When I went to reorder, Amazon redirected me to another vendor. I did not notice the trap I had fallen into. I thouht I was getting 4 cans as always. I ended up getting 1 can for $17. This is a ridiculous price for one can of oatmeal !

Saw this product in a local grocery and was lured by the tin can and decided to try it for myself. I must say it does in fact have a nutty taste to it unlike traditional oatmeal. I found myself buying another can just days later only halfway through the first can. I am now a devoted McCann oatmeal lover!
