Steel Cut Oats are less processed than rolled oats or quick oats. Yes, it does take longer to cook, but the texture is much better.

I have used this as oatmeal (porridge) and in muffins, with excellent results.

What a difference in oatmeals this one makes. It is chewy, with just a hint of 'crunch'-and the flavor is wonderful. While is tempting to go on
eating AND eating, one serving stays with you until time for you next meal
-which may indeed be another bowl...I tried cooking a whole batch, and
re-heating the next day in the microwave with just a little water-it works
and is a great time-saver on busy mornings. Highly recommended...

Wonderful product. "Instantly" puts all "instant oatmeal" (except McCann's) products in the trash heap. It does take 30 minutes to cook, but following the directions on the can (4 cups water, 1 cup oats) this makes four breakfasts (just under 1 cup of cooked oats each) for me; it might make 5 for smaller appetites.

I make it in the evening by starting with the water and oats, with just a touch of salt in the water. Stir the oats initially, then set a timer and leave it be on very low heat (just barely bubbling). At the end of 30 minutes, stir well, then I divide the oatmeal into 4 equal parts (usually just under 1 cup each) and put it into those little Glad Serv-n-Saver type containers (the "Tupperware" you don't mind losing!). Into each container ("bowl") I like to mix a handful of raisins (or other dried fruit, but raisins are my personal favorite), a dash or two of cinnamon, about a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of ground flax seed. I then mix each thoroughly and cover; then all 4 "ready to heat and serve" bowls go into the fridge.

Each morning, then, I pour about a tablespoon of skim or soy milk on top of the oatmeal, then microwave for 1min 20sec (your oven may vary, of course). Stir, and enjoy; I eat it right out of the Serv-n-Saver bowl, which cuts down on washing, too! It's a wonderful tasting, quick and HEALTHY part of your breakfast. It's high fiber, so it's filling, which tends to cut your overall caloric intake and it goes a long way toward the American Heart Association's recommended daily fiber serving; most Americans are woefully below this in their usual diet.

I highly recommend this as a part of a healthy, low-fat, low calorie, low glycemic and high fiber diet. It helped me drop my total cholesterol level over 40 points (as part of a comprehensive diet plan) WITHOUT drugs.

I will not deal with net grocer again and will be extremely carefull with any other affiliates of amazon. the product is fine but I found a better and less expensive resource. The requirement to rate a product without full information to future buyer is misleading at best and at worst deceptive trade. the product is fine the service or shipping fees however @#$%##**

I'm not sure why it is that I cannot find these oats where I live anymore, perhaps there's no interests? I was elated to see that amazon sold what I had so long been searching for. By far, these are the best steel-cut oats I have tasted,and so worth the money spent on them. The don't turn out "gummy" like some other oats, and they work very well when cooking them in the slow cooker (a real bonus!) Great authentic product made by the best! I highly recommend these and I will definitely be buying these again via the subscribe and save program.

Wonderful cereal the recipe on can is fast. Just have to follow directions.
Boil water when done add McCann's cereal , simmer one minute when cool cover and put in fridge.
In the morning it is done. Add Stevia extract, cinnamon , almonds and milk. Your good for the morning.

Hummy Ellen

I like the flavor and the texture of this brand over all that I have tried.

Just the best thing that ever happened to oatmeal! True, it takes time to cook, so it's a weekend breakfast for us, but oh, it is wonderful! We cook it with maple syrup.... Mmmmm. Stick to the ribs amazing!

Amazon is a good source to find almost anything a little bit cheaper. This is not the case in this matter. Whole Foods has this for 5 dollars. And thats at whole paycheck.
