I bought a tin of McCann's at the local stupidmarket. I'm sure I paid
extra for that tin... but I must admit it's a nice storage container.
Eventually I'd like to try toasting the steel cut oats as is
recommended at the McCann's web site.

I certainly will... far be it from me to be reticent. <g>

According to Amazon.com my slow cooker has already been shipped via Fed
Ex. However, I happen to like UPS much better... they have a steady
driver in this area and we already know each other as we often take a
few minutes to chat, so my packges get white glove treatment.
Conversely Fed Ex uses all part timers and always someone new, I've
never seen the same driver twice... they are generally surly (they
obviously hate their job) and lazy about waiting for me to answer the
door if a signature is required so they just drive off if I'm not there
in 30 seconds, and if no sig is needed they tend to just toss the
package in the general direction, often leaving them where it will be
out in the weather, and my house has a very large overhang by the
garage door, there's no reason for a package to get wet. The one time
Fed Ex left a small package inside my front storm door they didn't
latch it, it was windy that day and my door must have been blown about
until it became sprung on its hinges... now I really need a new door...
Fed Ex needs to change it's name to Fed Schmucks!
