| I love this oatmeal.I'm a type two diabetic and have missed my oatmeal. A small amount of any other oatmeal made my sugar sky rocket,not this. Now I can have it every morning, with no change to my med's. And I can have a WHOLE cup. I make four servings at I time and reheat a serving each morning. |

| Me and the kid eat low-carb (>60/day). We make half a cup of this each brunch and split it, add a tiny bit of LC sweetener and a couple spoons of cream or half&half. (And in a perfect world, 1oz bacon [3 slices] each also.) This actually fills us up for a good 5-6 hours until it is time for our big protein-fat dinner. We've been losing fat, eating less, yet we're satiated and we just love this stuff. It doesn't spark cravings or other blood sugar or grain side effects like nearly everything else I've gradually tried. As for cooking it, I just put 2 cups of water in a pot on high heat. When boiling I dump in 1/2 cup dry oats and I stir that off and on for about 3 minutes on high. Then I drop the flame to very-low. It needs to be stirred 2-4 times over the next 30 minutes or it will stick, but that isn't so much. Although it takes more time than most anything else I would cook, it's a special treat for us (it's the carb-iest thing we eat, by far) and really yummy. Ordinary quick-oats is gummy gluey sugarbomb junk food with more sugar impact than a candy bar or three for most people, it's hard to believe the crap we grow up on and feed the kids when ignorant. But these long-cooking oats are tasty and filling/satiating and, in reasonable amounts, can even be part of fairly lowcarb eating. We're crazy about them. The kid is 13 so she gets two votes. :-) |

| My husband's cholesterol dropped 33 points (!) after eating McCann's Irish Oatmeal 5 days a week for 6 months! Even his doctor asked for the order information so he, too, could begin to enjoy this delicious, healthy oatmeal. My husband's favorite way to enjoy his bowl is with a bit of brown sugar, raisins, and a dash of nutmeg. Thanks for a great product!

| These oats are FANTASTIC. I had never heard of steel cut oats before, but decided to try them (I have Type 2 diabetes). They have a great nutty taste without adding anything to them and are wonderfully crunchy. They also give you a feeling of fullness long into the day. I have already shared some of mine with a couple of friends, and they are ordering them also. I would highly recommend these oats to anyone. Thank you for a super, super product. |

| I am a new convert to the Steel Cut Oats. I would never have guessed the taste difference between Quaker Oats and this product would be so drastic. I have always loved oatmeal but this is the real stuff. WONDERFUL! |

| I tried this oatmeal because of the reviews talking about the effects on cholesterol and blood sugar. I've always liked oatmeal, and this one is even better -- it's hearty, with a rather nutty flavor, and has a nice chewy, crunchy texture. Add a little butter or a splash of cream, and it's even tastier. |

Reviewer: Jacqueline in California |
| Awesome taste, great breakfast, and it sticks to your bones and keeps you from getting hungry before lunchtime. It takes a while to cook on the stove top (30 mins) but I do it in 20 mins. in the microwave using high power for 4 mins. to bring up the heat then lower power just to maintain heat and continue cooking. Use a large glass bowl to prevent overflow during microwave cooking. I also like to add some raisins before cooking. I will never eat processed oatmeal again. This is truly a step above and wonderful. |

| A suggestion for preparing on the stove top that works well for me. After bringing to a boil, set the lid on the cooking pot at a slight angle in order to let the steam & moisture out. Set stove to "Low". Then, you can set the timer and walk away! It won't boil over and cooks throughly, too. |

| This is the absolute best oatmeal that I've every tasted.
I loved the texture (which reminded me of rice). The
product is very filling. I would usually eat a bowl at
6:30 a.m. and would not want to eat again until lunch. I will add that it is necessary to keep an eye on the oatmeal when it is prepared. You can't walk away from it
whether you are preparing it on the stove-top or in the
microwave, because otherwise, you will have a boil-over
that can be very messy. Other than that small quirk in
preparation, the product is fantastic! |

| Much better than the Quaker Steel Cut Oats in the grocery store. Those are much smaller and do not swell as well in water. These have a superior flavor and texture. I cook 4 days worth at a time, and they keep in the fridge beautifully for most of the week! |

| I have been using McCann's Oatmeal for several years.
When I prepare a batch of Oatmeal using McCann's, I am assured of a flavorful smooth-tasting oatmeal.
By preparing my own oatmeal I know that I am getting a nutritious fiber-filled product.
I highly recommend it to everyone.
I use it in an oatmeal recipe from Alton Brown of the Food Network show 'Good Eats'. |

| These take a little longer to prepare than regular oatmeal, but it is worth it in the nutrition category. This stuff fills me up and tastes great! |

| This is the best oatmeal I have tasted. These steel cut oats have a much fuller texture than the rolled oats most of us normally buy at the grocery store. I add a little honey and butter to them, but I think they have a nice flavor all on their own. Since steel cut oatmeal takes a bit longer to cook than rolled oats, I usually cook a cup or two for the week and just microwave a bowl at a time for breakfast or a snack. |
