 I cannot say enough good things about this product. |

I first heard about steel cut oats on the Oprah show about its health benefits. First of all I DO NOT like regular oatmeal like you buy in the grocery store. I don't like the slimy texture. But I figured I'd try steel cut oats and I'm glad I did. They are delicous and very good for you! The warm nutty aroma when they are cooking is very appetizing and when you add a little bit of sugar or splenda and some cinnimon, it tastes fantastic! I also sometimes skip the cinnimon and add a tablespoon of granola and/or some dried berries. Excellent healthy breakfast. I highly recommend this product.
For those of you who are asking what the difference is between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal:
-Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. Golden in color and resembling mini rice particles, they are as nature intended - nothing added and nothing taken out.
-Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture. |
It's not the same

| We purchased this item because Amazon was out of the 16 oz. boxes of traditional McCann's Steel Cut Oatmeal, and several reviews indicated that there was no difference between the 5 minute variety and the traditional long cooking oats. Wrong. The taste is very similar, but the texture and nuttiness of the traditional McCann's is missing from this imposter. Steel cut oats are wonderful, in great part, because of the texture. It's missing from the 5 minute variety, or at least substantially reduced. A poor substitute for the real thing. |
Good healthy oats with a bit of tooth...

Delicious and healthy... much better than regular oats... Be aware that during the first phase of cooking (in the microwave, anyway) it will bubble up and over even a deep bowl if you don't keep a close eye on it, stop the microwave frequently to stir, etc. Not a problem once it starts to thicken up.
Great taste and texture.... to the reviewer who cooked it all night in the crockpot, to quote Dr. Phil, "What were you thinkin'??" (Southern accent on "thinkin'.) Maybe someone said that's the way to do it, but I think one of the great things about this product is it's al dente texture when cooked properly. Good stuff, Maynard! |
Absolutely Fantastic

| This is not a typical oatmeal product. Some people mention a crunch, but I thought the texture was more like a chewy rice pudding. I also agree with the "nutty" flavor. The quick cooking is the best approach (over the 45 minute slow cook). I tried to cook it in the microwave, according to the instructions, but it did not beat the stove top method. It was either too much water or not enough. Anyway, it just tastes better cooked on the stove. Add your own toppings or eat it straight, I like it with a small amount of turbinado and some skim milk. The package is a little difficult to close after opening, so you may want to place the plastic bag in a storage container. |

| I have been eating steel cut oats everyday for three years. I don't eat red meat anymore. My blood test show (or prove if you prefer) that oatmeat can reduce your risk of heart failure and stroke. I was at a high risk ratio three years ago and now it is back to normal. Eat this oatmeal everyday. It works. |
