MCCANN'S IRISH OATMEAL, IRISH OATMEAL,TIN 28 OZ

First of all, the cans may arrive dented, but when the can is empty, one can push out the dents easily, even if you are arthritic and elderly, as am I. I use the cans for various items in the sewing room. With dry products, a dented can is not an indication of possible botulism, as one reviewer worried. It does take some time to cook, but it is well worth it. I have only coffee at breakfast, and eat oatmeal at lunch. I use two cups of water and half a cup of oatmeal, and have found cooking smaller amounts does not work well. I add cinnamon, because both the oatmeal and cinnamon are anti-inflammatory, and it tastes good, too. This oatmeal is real food. It is wholesome food. It is worth the wait for it to cook, and worth sitting down to savor. It may not suit those always in a rush, but life is more pleasant if one slows down a bit to enjoy it. The texture of the oatmeal is not the same as the quick stuff. When recommending the oatmeal to my daughter in law, I suggested calling it porridge when introducing it to my under five year old granddaughters, who are used to quick oatmeal. If it is called something different, a new and intriguing word, they will give it more of a chance.

Very good

Great Brand!

Delicious steel cut

I’m not a big oatmeal person. This, however, has a nice, chewy mouthfeel and a slightly nutty flavor. Because it takes 30 minutes to make, I prepare it in batches, eat what I want and refrigerate the rest. When I scoop out my next meal, sometimes I sprinkle a little nutmeg and cinnamon on it before microwaving and top off with a small amount of milk and fresh strawberries. YUM!!
