I remember when I was living in my old apartment back in 1981 when I started living on my own that I made oat meal in a coffee cup. I learned the hard way that you don't put water and oat meal in the same cup and boil in the microwave. The oat meal expands, and it goes in your microwave oven. It makes quite a mess. It's better to boil your water, then add the oat meal after that. That works best.

When making instant I just heat the water for three minutes and the add oatmeal and other ingredients. A lid or one of those covers Dale talked about on a recent show might help, as would a larger container, as I suspect it's bubbling over during the cooking process. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Allison Fallin Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 1:16 PM To: Cooking in the Dark Subject: [CnD] Oatmeal and the microwave Hello, Whenever I cook oatmeal following the package directions, it ends up all over the carousell in the microwave. Any suggestions?
