I was really surprised at the price difference between the Red Mill and the McCanns (both steel cut) . At Daves Market the Red Mill was only $3 vs $6 for roughly the same amount of McCanns. 2 to 1. The McCanns better give you an orgasm when you eat it to justify a 2 to 1 price difference!  |
Let me understand, you're surprised the steel cut oats took longer than the "quick oats" you were used to?
It's worth it in my opinion. I like the texture a lot better than the fluffy stuff. They say you can cook them in advance and hold in the fridge although I've never done it.
Had mine this morning with some dried cranberries, a perfectly ripe banana and some Aquidneck Island honey.
