In fact, to be quite truthful, we do microwave instant oat meal all the time. What we do is we fill the coffee mug we want with water. We heat the water for a minute and 20 seconds or so, and when the oven stops we add in the oat meal, we stir it, and it is ready.
I never thought about adding things to it, but it can be done. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2011 8:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Oatmeal and the microwave Hi Everyone, I make oatmeal in the microwave all the time. I use the pre-packaged oatmeal. Put two thirds cupof water in a bowl. Add the package of oatmeal. Add anything else you want. Place in the mic for a minute and 20 seconds and cook on high. Stir before placing it in the mic and then stir again when it comes out. My husband liked a little butter and brown sugar in his. HTH.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Nicole Massey <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 2:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Oatmeal and the microwave What kind of oatmeal? 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?
