Product Description
McCann’s quick cooking oatmeal is made from the finest quality Irish oats. These oats are specially grown and harvested for McCann’s by local farmers in accordance with a strict quality assurance program. They help in reducing the risk of heart disease and contain no sodium or cholesterol.
The “add water” packeted hot cereals are unfit for use as glue. Steel cut oats, a great thing, require cooking worthy of a breakfast turducken. Between are the varied offerings of pastries and cold cereal with characters (I like Cap’n Crunch, the Cap’n, not so much the cereal) or the healthy items if unexciting to the eye from Trader Joe’s.
And this, a fine morning repast easily prepared, but not such that it can be done without attention and craft. It allows for variation: Vanilla, salt, brown sugar, dried bananas, mangosteen. It allows the eater to feel both a primitive in touch with earth’s grains and an urbane sophisticate preparing a meal of yuppie-store grains in a microwave.
The ne plus ultra of breakfast!

I bought this oatmeal accidentally and Amazon won’t take it back because it’s a food item. I couldn’t find quick-cooking steel-cut oats any more, so I thought this was the same deal repackaged. Wrong! Compared with steel-cut oats, this is mushy and not fun to eat. Anybody want to buy my 12 packages of this mushy stuff? Cheap!

I use this to “stretch” flavored oatmeals; I found it mushy cooked in the microwave.

The McCann Irish quick-cooking oatmeal itself is a good product, which I can highly recommend. The shipment, however, arrived in a large box with no packing material, nothing to prevent the boxes from being crushed in transit, inner packages of oatmeal floating around outside their protective boxes. Whoever packed this did so with no concern as to how the customer would store the product in pantry – in fact, it appeared they had no concern for their company’s reputation. McCann’s would be horrified! I’m disappointed and disgruntled. Suppose I had wanted to put one of these in a gift basket?

I bought the hype about there being little difference between this and McCanns steel-cut. Wrong! If you have had the steel-cut, this stuff is just soupy and bland. And the fiber difference? These oats are processed (cooked, rolled out, and cut into shapes), so in essence the fiber is gone Convenience? Big deal. Make up a big batch of steel-cut, refrigerate and nuke as you wish.
