Hamlyn's Pinhead Oatmeal, 20-Ounce Tins (Pack of 6)

Hamlyn's Scottish oatmeal is steel-cut oats, not the rolled oats (like Quaker's) most familiar in North America. Steel-cut oats are the equivalent of cracked wheat, with each oat cut into three or four hard pellets (groats). The groats are prepared by simmering them in a 50-50 mixture of milk and water until soft, a process that takes longer than cooking rolled oats, but results in a porridge with better flavour and texture. There are supermarket brands of rolled oats, which can be prepared in the same way. However, the Hamlyn's seems to be cut into somewhat smaller pieces, so that the groats are tender at about the same time the oatmeal is done. The larger groats in other brands of steel-cut oats are often still unpleasantly hard when the porridge is done.

Hamlyn's is hard to find in North America, and I was glad to find it on Amazon.

I was so happy when I first found this brand in a local imported food store--it was next to the Irish brand I had previously been buying. Hamlyn's is just as delicious and can be cooked in five minutes instead of 30. Plus, buying it online is cheaper and more convenient. Anyone who has eaten Pinhead Oatmeal (similar to Steel-cut Oatmeal) will never go back to the flaked kind!

My wife and I were given a tin of this some years back and thoroughly enjoyed the taste and ease of preperaton. We lucked into this product just recently and decided to give it another try. After several years between the two events, we heartily approve of this second taste-test. Good eating!
