 I cannot say enough good things about this product. July 20, 2006

I first heard about steel cut oats on the Oprah show about its health benefits. First of all I DO NOT like regular oatmeal like you buy in the grocery store. I don't like the slimy texture. But I figured I'd try steel cut oats and I'm glad I did. They are delicous and very good for you! The warm nutty aroma when they are cooking is very appetizing and when you add a little bit of sugar or splenda and some cinnimon, it tastes fantastic! I also sometimes skip the cinnimon and add a tablespoon of granola and/or some dried berries. Excellent healthy breakfast. I highly recommend this product.
For those of you who are asking what the difference is between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal:
-Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. Golden in color and resembling mini rice particles, they are as nature intended - nothing added and nothing taken out.
-Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture.

This is not a typical oatmeal product. Some people mention a crunch, but I thought the texture was more like a chewy rice pudding. I also agree with the "nutty" flavor. The quick cooking is the best approach (over the 45 minute slow cook). I tried to cook it in the microwave, according to the instructions, but it did not beat the stove top method. It was either too much water or not enough. Anyway, it just tastes better cooked on the stove. Add your own toppings or eat it straight, I like it with a small amount of turbinado and some skim milk. The package is a little difficult to close after opening, so you may want to place the plastic bag in a storage container.
Oatmeal? June 8, 2007

Just as the box says, it's quick and easy. The only thing they neglected to say is that they're also delicious. The thicker nuttier texture of this Irish Oatmeal is, in my opinion, better by far than rolled oats. I prepare mine with a sprinkle of diced crystallized ginger and some dried fruit. Just the thing to get the day started.
Fast satisfying breakfast, Get the 5-min kind! July 11, 2009

I used to get the 30-minute kind but this tastes just as good and takes so little effort. Just 5 min and it's the same great taste.
BTW, I don't heat it in the microwave (you can though) because it's hard to get it to not overflow. You have to stop and stir it a lot.

I have been eating steel cut oats everyday for three years. I don't eat red meat anymore. My blood test show (or prove if you prefer) that oatmeat can reduce your risk of heart failure and stroke. I was at a high risk ratio three years ago and now it is back to normal. Eat this oatmeal everyday. It works.
