Do any of you eat McCann's Irish Oatmeal? I've eaten it in restaurants and it is always delicious. The flakes are always tender and fluffy. When I make it at home, it has the texture of grits. I wonder if I am doing something wrong when I cook it. I add 1 part oatmeal (I buy the Quick & Easy) to 3 parts boiling water. I cook it on low for 5-7 minutes. Then I turn it on warm for a few minutes. When I try to quick cooking rolled oats, they are like paste. If you have tried McCann's, how do you cook it? I hate to stress over oatmeal.
I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

Try not adding the oatmeal until the water is at full boil.
I always make my oatmeal with skim milk. I let it "soak" for about ten minutes, then use the microwave. It doesn't come out like wallpaper paste, and tastes nice and creamy.
I also add a little bit of salt and a teaspoon of maple syrup, but then that's just me...
