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!!!

Oatmeal gets a bad rap these days.

Most people have their first experience with the quaker instant oatmeal, loaded with sugar and artificial flavoring, with the consistency of mush. After eating it, you just feel dirty for the next few hours, like you ate candy for breakfast. The rest of their lives, people never go back. John McCanns's oatmeal will convert anyone back.

The flavor and consistency is everything you could ask for in a warm breakfast cereal. Once you try it, you can never go back to regular oatmeal. It's chewy and delicious, not like the quaker slime you might remember. Sure, it takes 30 minutes to cook, but after you've done it once, it's easy. I wake up, throw some water on the stove, make my coffee, drink my coffee while I wait for it to boil, throw in the oats, set the dial to 3, give it a stir, and take a shower. When I come out, breakfast is almost ready. I could understand if you don't have the extra time, but this stuff is worth it.

The only thing is that this oatmeal is about 5-6 times more expensive than Steel-Cut oatmeal you can buy in bulk at the grocery store. That isn't to say that you can't taste the difference in quality, but at some point, they're both steel-cut oatmeal.

So if you want the very best, go with John McCann's. I highly recommend buying a tin if it's your first time trying steel-cut, since it takes a few times to figure out how to cook it and the tin provides instruction. It also looks very cool and gives you a place to put the oats you might buy in bulk later.

This is BY FAR my favorite oatmeal. The price here, however is almost 4x as much as it costs at my local grocery store (it's $6.99 at the Food Emporium right outside Times Square in NYC). I hope this is an error.

This oatmeal is in my point of view the best; it taste great and I like to make it in the slow cooker so it is ready when I get up.

Very good. Time consuming to cook--don't plan to cook it for breakfast without a spare 45 minutes!

Gooey liquide that forms while cooking is a little weird.
