My food co-op had a coupon special for the tin of McCann's oats and I've
been curious about them, so I bought. <cough> $7.55 for the tin, less
the coupon. Directions are for stovetop prep but I don't get to a very
low simmer on my stove and I'm used to cooking my oatmeal in the
microwave.
I soaked the oats in milk overnight in the fridge (I cook my oatmeal
with milk rather than water) and nuked it at 100% power for about 3-4
minutes (2 cups milk, 1 cup oats) in a tall 1-quart Pyrex measuring
cup/pitcher, then for about 20 minutes at 40% power. I sprinkled Butter
Buds on top, stirred in a small handful of dried cherries, and sprinkled
some brown sugar on top.
It was okay; I think I'll try Dee Randall's vinegar trick with it next
time -- and soak in water instead of milk.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. (With a nod and a tip
of my hat to Moose.)
