Fantastic winter comfort food, chewy and nutty---unlike the paste-like rolled oats most of us associate with the word "oatmeal." You can find cheaper steel-cut oats in almost any grocery store nowadays, but purists insist the Irish stuff is best. Plus the empty cans are useful for storing junk.

They take a good 20 minutes or longer to cook correctly (even more if you toast the oats first, like Alton Brown suggests) and it's well worth investing in a double boiler if you don't want to have to stir them every few minutes while cooking. Can be cooked overnight in a rice cooker also, although I find that makes for a much softer oatmeal, with less of the wonderful chewiness you get in stove-top cooking.
