Home » Low Carb Products » Breakfast Foods   McCann's Irish Oatmeal (Steel Cut Oats) Reviews Views Date of last review 5 19547 Fri February 10, 2006 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers $2.99 8.8 Description: Old fashioned steel-cut oats in the distinctive old-style tin. The oat groat is cut to enhance the flavour of the Irish Oat. The distinctive hearty, chewy texture of steel cuts makes them a favorite. Oatmeal is the only food that naturally contains GLA (gamma linolenic acid) an essential fatty acid critical to the body's production of the favorable eicosanoids (PGE1 - prostaglandins). Eating steel-cut oats (very slow cooking) four times a week will provide you with a good supply of GLA. Author buttonwillow Senior LCF Member Registered: February 2003 Location: Pacoima, Calif. Posts: 394 Review Date: Thu February 19, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $2.99 | Rating: 6    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: I was surprised when I first tasted this oatmeal as I expected the same consistency as Quaker Oats. But Steel's oats are cut, not rolled. The pieces of oat are cut into very small pieces so they cook up into a creamy, smooth texture, not the rough texture I was used to and which I prefer. However, the flavor is virtually the same as cooked rolled oats. LindaJ Way too much time on my hands!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: Very delicious oatmeal. Whole grain because it is minimally processed. I found it had kind of a chewy texture. Takes longer to cook than Quaker oats but I find I can do a single bowl in seven minutes in the microwave. Good source of fiber.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): I like it. Healthy, delicious. Cons: need a bigger can..lol--it seems to make me hungry, though I love the little tin that it came in. The first time I cooked it, I had problems, but that was my fault. The second time, I got it down to a science. I really like this, but I stayed hungry all day after eating it. ?
