McCann's Irish Oatmeal, Traditional Steel Cut, 28 Ounce (Pack of 6)

This is traditional old fashion oatmeal that takes a longer time to prepare but is definitely worth the extra prep. Not only is it much more delicious than that soupy instant crap it is much more healthy.We cook it on the weekends and it stays fresh in the fridge all week long.It is truly satisfying and will quell your need for that mid morning donut.

This is THE Best oatmeal bar none I have ever had. Easy to make. We cook 2 cups of oats and it lasts us 5 days or so. It only takes 30 minutes to cook. We cook it ahead and refrigerate, heating in the microwave as needed with a sprinkle of water and it tastes like it was just made. These oats have a nutty aroma and a beautiful texture. I recently was somewhere that only had Quaker oatmeal. I was starving, so I thought , no big deal , they will be fine. Nope! Quaker oats tasted like cardboard and felt like wallpaper glue in my mouth. I literally had to spit it out into the garbageSo, if you want the best oatmeal in the world. McCants Irish Steel cut oats are the choice you should make.

There's no substitute for these Irish Oats. They are just firmer and chewier than all of the other brands I've tried, and it's very hard to ruin them by overcooking. What's really amazing is that they can be shipped across the ocean from Ireland, packaged in a very nice metal can, and a profit can still be made. Everyone's happy!

A little pricey, but excellent nutritious choice for those who can spare the time required to cook it. Very filling, and one can lasts a decent time.

If you have the time, and can cook this oatmeal exactly by the directions, you will want to eat this oatmeal every week! It cooks to a creamy, but just right bowl of oatmeal. Add a few chopped up fresh fruits, and a little honey and you have the best breakfast one can eat. It is yummy and very health for you.This is the best price you will find anywhere. Don't worry about it being more than you would eat, before it gets stale. That will not happen! It will be eatened before it goes bad!!!

The good news is that all of the oatmeal cans I received had lids (as opposed to missing lids being reported recently), The bad news is that 10 of the 12 cans have dents in them. The dents do not match the cans having collided among each other and the box was not damaged in a way that could have caused the dents. More bad news is that, day by day, the arrival of the oatmeal was postponed for about three days, but the good news is they did arrive. And the best news is that the oats were not harmed in any way and I know they will taste great!

Love my steel cut oatmeal. But the prices have been going up and up.......
