Questions & Answers
For me, the simplest method is to boil 4 cups of water. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of oats with a pinch of salt. Allow to sit overnight, covered with a pot-fitting lid. Your oats are ready to eat in the morning. Simply reheat in the microwave and eat. In the morning, I like to add a pinch of cinnamon to the boiling water and a tablespoon of brown sugar to my hot oats. It's decent. It wouldn't hurt to add a dash of vanilla as well. Alternatively, maple flavoring could be added. Play around with the ingredients until you find something you like; this recipe is also simple to half.

Selected User Reviews For McCann's, Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal, 28 oz
To begin with, the cans may arrive dented; however, once the can is empty, even arthritic and elderly people like myself can easily push out the dents. In my sewing room, I use the cans for a variety of purposes. A dented can of dry goods is not, contrary to one reviewer's fears, an indication of possible botulism. Cooking takes some time, but the results are well worth the effort. Breakfast consists solely of coffee, and lunch consists solely of oatmeal. I use two cups of water and half a cup of oatmeal, and I've found that cooking smaller quantities doesn't turn out well. Because both the oatmeal and the cinnamon are anti-inflammatory, I add it. It's anti-inflammatory as well as tasty. This oatmeal is wholesome and nutritious. It's a healthy meal. It's well worth the wait for it to cook, as well as the time spent sitting down to enjoy it. It may not suit those who are always in a hurry, but life is more enjoyable if one takes the time to enjoy it. Oatmeal has a different texture than instant oatmeal. When I recommended the oatmeal to my daughter-in-law, I suggested calling it porridge for my under-five-year-old granddaughters, who are used to quick oatmeal. They will give it a better chance if it is given a different name, a new and intriguing word.
The oatmeal is still delicious. The oatmeal is delicious, but the can was ruined when the lid was changed. The original lid (shown in the first photo) was made of solid metal. It was like a paint can lid that you popped off. The new lid (shown in the second photo) is made of a thin, flexible foil. It has opening instructions embossed on it, which state that you must "pierce the groove" to open it. The lid is useless if you pierce the foil by mistake, as I did. I'll admit my error, but I despise the fact that they changed a perfectly good design to save a few dollars. I intend to switch to the other Irish Oatmeal, which is still packaged in a solid tin can with a lid.
But then a diabetic friend who needs insulin shots told me about this oatmeal and said it didn't raise her blood sugar! I assumed this was just a fancy version of oatmeal, and had no idea that steel cutting altered the fiber, consistency, and texture of oats so dramatically, allowing them to not spike blood sugar levels. It's incredible! We prefer the texture to regular old fashioned oats, which are mushy. This makes you feel as if you're actually eating something. br>br>I've been using my InstantPot pressure cooker to make this: 1 cup steel cut oats, 3 cups water (I prefer unsweetened almond milk), and a pinch of cinnamon Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes on manual, then release naturally. The total cooking time is less than 30 minutes, and the sauce thickens as it cools, making it perfect every time. I keep extra servings in the fridge, and it reheats beautifully and tastes just as good the next day. We use honey as a sweetener, and I top mine with butter and a little cream, while my husband tops his with milk. br>br>This has no effect on my blood sugar, and I am not hungry until lunchtime. The fiber content lowers the carbohydrate content, lowering the net carbs! Breakfast has become one of our favorites.
It's something I have every morning, and it's simple to prepare the night before and have ready in the morning. Cardiologists and other medical professionals recommend oatmeal. When I saw it in the New York Times, I decided to give it a try. br>br>This isn't the Instant, and you shouldn't eat it. The texture and flavor of McCann's are both excellent. It has a nutty, crunchy texture. I've been making it almost every evening in preparation for breakfast. br>br>This is the recipe I use, and I serve it with milk and blueberries. br>br>In a medium or large saucepan, bring the water to a boil (large enough to hold about 4 cups cooked oatmeal plus a little extra). br>When the water has reached a rolling boil, add the oats and salt and cook for one minute, stirring constantly to avoid boiling over. br>Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover the pot and set it aside for 8 hours. 12 hours. br>In the morning, before serving, stir the oatmeal to recombine the oats with any residual liquid and heat for 1 minute over medium. Heat the oatmeal for 2 minutes, or until it is completely warm. br>Serve with oat toppings of your choice! Bananas, craisins, agave nectar, brown sugar, blueberries, and a variety of other fruits are among our favorites. br>br>It's highly suggested. 02- prirob.
Ever. I did not receive what I had requested. I ordered a steel cut that cooks in 5 minutes and received what I assume is the original, which takes an eternity to cook. I attempted four different cooking methods, but none of them were successful. Wet, wet, wet The best part is that it is not returnable. There's no way in hell I'm going to do this. I guess I'll deliver it to Catholic Charities. Take part in the action. learn.
I've been eating this four times a week for almost four years and have noticed a significant improvement in the last six months. I came across a 1. I bought a 5-quart slow cooker and now make 4 cups of soup every Sunday before going to work the next week. Simply place 4 cups of water, 1 cup of McCann's, and a pinch of cinnamon in a slow cooker on low for 4 hours, stirring once or twice; cleanup is simple if you use a small slow cooker liner.
Steel cut oats from McCann are my favorite. Here's what I do for those who believe cooking them is a lot of work. I cook 1 cup oats with 4 cups water for 30 minutes, then transfer to a container and keep it in the refrigerator. That's enough for four people to eat. I scoop it into a microwave-safe bowl, toss in some dried cranberries and walnuts, and heat for 3 minutes. Before or after the microwave, add your milk (I use almond milk). It's quick and easy, and the oats stay nutty and tasty even after being reheated. Instant oatmeal was never my favorite because it always tasted like mush to me. Steel cut is flavorful and has a distinctive texture. I only gave it four stars for packaging because one of my cans had a large dent around the lid, making it impossible to close the lid after I removed the inner packaging. I did, however, transfer it to a glass container. On my open pantry shelves, I adore the look of metal cans!.
It's the most delicious oatmeal you'll ever eat- However, Amazon packaging has always been a problem, and these three cans I just received must be consumed within 60 days! Regrettably, they made certain to ship items that are likely to be defective at this time. additionally, the cans had been shattered One of the lids has been dented so badly that it cannot be replaced.
