 Leaving My Long and Beautiful Relationship With The Quaker Guy For McCann's November 1, 2006
L. Shirley (fountain valley, ca United States)

I just finished off my first box of "McCann's Imported Quick Cooking Irish Oatmeal". And boy did it go fast! Not because I didn't get my money's worth, but because it was so good. I usually have Oatmeal about 3 times a week, and have always been real loyal to Quaker Oats(not the instant), but I gave these a try and it is now my new favorite, and I have them almost every day now..
Following the cooking directions(this was my first time with a quick cook oatmeal),and cooking just a few minutes(add the oats and cold water together, boil and stir for 3-5 minutes), the oatmeal came out perfect for me the first time, and does every time. With the suggested 1/2 cup Irish Oatmeal to 1 Cup Water, the consistency, for me was perfect. Just a little creamy, and not too soggy. The taste was the big test though, and I loved it. I am cutting out sugar whenever I can, but my Quaker was still one place I used just a little, so I just tried a little non-fat soy milk on the McCann's, and occasionally a spritz of a butter flavored cooking spray(just to have a little variety everyday), and I didn't even miss the sugar at all. Of course, you can experiment by adding a little more oats if you like it a little thicker, or more water for a thinner consistency. Honey, raisins or other fruit go great with it too.There are also instructions for micro-wave use.
If you are a die-hard Quaker fan, and don't want to just dive right in and buy a 6 pack, you can find this brand at the Trader Joe's stores. I also saw the "McCann's Steel Cut Oats" there as well, which I haven't tried yet.
There is no sodium, sugars, or cholesterol. It's low fat and calorie(2gm/150 per 1/2 cup dry serving). A good source of fiber and is pure and natural. Ingredients..100% Irish wholegrain oats. There are several different kinds of these oats available. Click on "McCann's" at top to see the other selections.This one is the "quick cook"(not instant), has a gold trimmed box, with a creamy colored background and "Irish Oatmeal" on a green banner.
A satisfying meal that will keep you going until lunch.
Okay, so, remember to breathe, eat healthy and enjoy!.....Laurie
Tasty, gluten-free oatmeal October 11, 2006

This oatmeal is the only kind that I have found to be gluten-free. It is tasty and cooks quicker and has better texture than rolled oat varieties of oatmeal. The New England Journal of Medicine published a letter in 2004 with lab analysis showing that McCann's had significantly less gluten on median than two other brands; unfortunately, the analysis also showed that one of the four samples of McCann's had high gluten, so it's possible that there may occasionally be bad batches, or it's possible that they mixed up their sample of McCann's with the other brands since the other three samples were so different. The World Health Organization's definition of gluten free is less than 200 parts per million (ppm), and the more conservative definition is less than 20 ppm. The four samples of McCann's had gluten contents of: <3 ppm, 12 ppm, 23 ppm, 760 ppm. The second brand was around 100-200 ppm. The third brand was around 300-800 ppm. McCann's is clearly better. I have personally had no problems with it, but I have had problems with the second and third brands that they tried.
The best Oatmeal! March 8, 2007
G. Brown (Chicago, IL USA)

Sure, there are tons of oatmeal options out there and I've tried quite a few. McCanns is the best. For starters I don't like mystery ingredients. McCanns has only one ingredient-- oats, and they only use the highest quality. Because of the way the oats are cut they cook very quick. I micro mine with soy milk in 2:20. After cooking I add cinnamon, ground flax seeds, and some frozen blueberries for a breakfast of champions. After switching to this from eating cereal I've become very lean. I've recommended this combination to many others who have experienced similar results.
Excellent flavor April 5, 2007

My wife is a great cook with discerning taste buds, and this is the oatmeal that she likes the best. It only takes 2 or 3 minutes in the microwave to make a bowl for breakfast.
