the kids love it
The children love this. It takes over 30 minutes to cook. So make extra and put in the fridge to microwave later on.

Good stuff
Also known as pinhead oatmeal. It has more texture than the rolled oats use for American-style oatmeal, and I much prefer that. Nifty reusable can. I'd give it five stars except that I cannot get that excited over oatmeal of any sort.

The Rolls Royce of Oatmeal
This is the finest oatmeal you can buy. All you need is twenty minutes and the ability to boil water. It's a little nutty, with great texture. Add whatever you like, although for you purists, nothing extra is necessary.

Fabulous!!!!!!!
Once you taste this oatmeal, you will NEVER go back to another brand! I like to make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight, so the flavors of brown sugar and cinnamon (that I add) marinate and it softens just a bit. It is wonderful this way! My whole family is HOOKED!

If you haven't tried steel cut oatmeal
Although it takes a good half hour to prepare, it is well worth the wait. There is no comparison between processed oats and this product. It ends up with the consistency of a porridge or a thick barley soup. Besides being healthy for you, it carries me through six or seven hours without any hunger.

Delicious McCann's Oatmeal
McCann's steel cut oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious way to start the day. My husband and I have eaten McCann's oatmeal as a special treat on every weekend of our wonderful marriage. While it takes about 20 minutes to cook, it is more than worth the time to have a smooth, creamy bowl of steaming authentic oatmeal...

McCann's Steel Cut Oatmeal is by far the best oatmeal I've ever had. It is nutty flavored and the texture is superb! I like the fact that it is steep cut and not overly processed as well. Our family will not eat any other type of oats!

OK, so it takes longer than the instant kind, but it is so good for you. I always feel that I am starting my families day off write with these steel cut oats. No one fights me at the breakfast table when it comes to eating this. Great on a cold morning. Yummy, I mix vanilla soy milk into it.

While not so quick as 3 minute oatmeal, the wait is worth it, in my opinion. This was how oatmeal was meant to be enjoyed. I will never go back to the boxed variety.

If you have only eaten "rolled oats" try an adult cereal and see what you've been missing. It takes much more time to cook than the instant oatmeal "paste" but it is so much better it is worth every additional minute. Great stuff!

OATS IS OATS
This product alternates between being available and not available. Steel cut oats from Ireland can't be much different than steel cut oats from North Dakota. Oats is oats. The can is great and because of the can I would highly reccomend buying this once and then refilling the can with cheaper local oats.

Would not reccomend
This stuff takes way longer than 30 minutes to cook. Even after an hour it was so hard to chew - almost unbearable.<br /><br />I really still to this day do not understand how you can buy this and like it.<br /><br />Its like cooking small rocks!

Get educated, save $
Even at $6 per canister, this product is inexplicably overpriced. Let me explain why:<br /><br />Intro to Oats 101--Oats, in whole form, are known as groats. In an effort to cut down on cooking time (or eating time, for those on the run, who don't have the time or patience to chew @mouthful 20-30x), oats are refined in...

Great Oatmeal, Poor Shipping
We eat 'slow cook' oatmeal, because it has more fiber and nutrients, so my wife is used to cooking our oatmeal longer. Most people are used to instant oatmeal which you just add hot water to. Neither slow cook or steel cut are like that. So, if you don't like taking the extra time to cook your oatmeal don't get stee...

I use a small crockpot (about a quart size) and fill it with water within an inch and a half of the top, then add about 3/4 cup of the oats and a dash of salt, a handful of raisins, and a half teaspoon of cinnamon. I cook it about 5-6 hours. (Overnight is a little too long.) So I cook it during the day, put it in a con...

Don't be put off by the "slow cooked" title -- it can be fast
Forget the other tricks -- steel cut oats is something that could have been tailor-made to pre-prepare in the era of refrigeration. About once a week or so in the evening when I'm in the kitchen cooking something else anyway, I partially cook up a pot of oats (I've always used McCanns, which is great, and I'm going to...

The Best - Though I've Found an Acceptable Alternative

These oats aren't quite as good as McCann's, but they're pretty darn close in these times of auste...

The oatmeal equivalent of grape-nuts
McCann's Irish oatmeal is quite different than traditional rolled oats in both texture and flavor. Note that it takes a half hour to cook, so it is not a good choice for workdays.
