Steel cut oats are sold here for about $1 per pound in 50 pound sacks,
a product of Canada... I'd buy them a few years ago when I was into
oatmeal, I'd divvy the sack with two neighbors. I found the best way
to cook steel cut oats is in a crock pot, no constant stirring
needed... in fact that was the only good use I found for a crock pot.
I'd prepare a week's worth and keep it in the fridge, easy to reheat
in the nuker. I found these better than the expensive Irish steel cut
oats in the fancy schmancy tin.
