Product Description
Honeyville's Steel-Cut Oats have been carefully selected from premium milling quality oats. These oats are then stabilized through a special heat process that ensures freshness and flavor, then passed through a steel cutting process to crack the oat. Steel-Cut Oats are a rich source of soluble fiber, protein, and vitamins, as well as other nutrients. Just three grams of soluble fiber from oatmeal daily in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. A thirty day regimen of 1 bowl a day of oatmeal will actually aid the body in removal of cholesterol.

Good Buy? Yes, But.......... October 12, 2008

This is actually just a comment. I am an oatmeal lover, and am about to start slow-cooking them overnight on the recommendation of a friend. I know that the quality and taste reviews of McCann's and Honeyville are very similar, but the notion propagated by some that these are substantially cheaper is not correct. Here on Amazon, even without the auto-ship discount, the McCann's 4-pack is 22.38 cents/ounce [with free prime shipping], while the Honeyville is 22.54 [including shipping]. If you sign up for auto-ship, the price per ounce for McCann's drops to 19 cents per ounce. So, granted, Honeyville is the cheapest to buy for your first bowl by almost $10, but not in the long run.
a lazy way to healthy eating..... October 6, 2008
I'm not much for cooked oatmeal so I take a 1/4 cup of these oats with some of the Honeyville blueberries and a good dollop of low-fat yogurt. Into the fridge with this concoction, and the next morning the liquid from the yogurt softens the oatmeal a little (but not too much). Healthy breakfast - about 2 minutes of work.
Impossible? A health food that tastes great!! May 27, 2008
It is possible... this is it. A huge can of this finely cut oat product. It takes about 20 minutes to prepare but you won't be sorry. It is a chewy treat and all my kids love it and we even make it mid day for a kind of dessert. Here is how I make it into a desert...
Make it with milk, put it in a dessert bowl, pour whipping cream around it, sprinkle with sugar... serve.
I think there is a way to soak the oats overnight and cut the preparation time too... most of the prep time is about reconstituting the oats (pulling water back into it). Experiment and get back to me will you? Do yourself a favor... stop eating those terrible rolled oats and get some of this stuff!!
Not another Oatmeal January 18, 2008

I honestly cringe from my childhood remembering eating oatmeal. It just was something that was slimey, gooey and just a flavor which did not appeal to me no matter how much I was told I liked it. While I love oatmeal cookies, I just have never like oatmeal.
Due to food allergies and an Amazon flier, I tried steel cut oats this week and I really like this stuff.
In cooking it, it says to cook covered, but mine would boil over even on low heat. So I had to leave the cover partially off and it did fine then.
It did have me frowning though as it cooks with a brownish foam on top like all grains that smelled to me just like oatmeal and I was thinking this was not going to be pleasant. I did though cook it for 20 minutes fully, and let it stand for 2 more uncovered and dished it up.
I ate mine with heavy cream and sugar as I like to enjoy food and not suffer eating it.....and was very pleased as this steel cut oats is delicate in flavor, not the least bit mushy and has a nice almost crunch to it.
It is 100% better than oatmeal or a cracked wheat which gets mushy too with too much heavy flavor.
The only problem is price which is ridiculous. Oatmeal is processed many times and knowing farming, oats has a hull to be removed and then the grain simply cut. If Oatmeal is cheaper being processed more, there is no reason the sellers should have this product priced higher in being processed less. This is not Amazon's fault, but another one of those "health food scams" of gouging people to pay more for a product due to a label.
I will though continue to eat steel cut as I rank it slightly superior to pure oat bran which is sweeter, but a heavier flavor and I rank oatmeal down there with eating a boiled leather shoe. No offense to the people who like oatmeal, but I want to convey for people who do not like oatmeal that they just might like this as this is as different from oatmeal as night is to day. Thanks for your time.
By far the best steel cut oats anywhere November 28, 2007

I have been eating oatmeal most mornings for over 50 years. I was raised on Quaker Oats. About 20 years ago, I discovered McCann's at a resort. Goodbye mushy Quaker Oats. About 5 years ago, I discovered Honeyville Farms. Goodbye McCann's.
The quality is excellent. I rarely find a husk, which I did all the time with McCann's. They are probably 60-80% cheaper than McCann's, and I think they are fresher.
The only disadvantage of steel cut is the cooking time. Here's a little trick I learned on the cooling newsgroup that makes it as easy as instant oatmeal. Put a few scoops of oats in a plastic bowl. Cover with 2x water. Microwave to boiling (~2 minutes). Cover and put in the frig.
The next morning, just heat and eat. I always have oatmeal ready.
Yummmmm...
I like the 70 oz cans with the plastic lid. I go through 2-3/year. The cans are great for storing parts and junk in the garage.
