First the information needs a slight update. Sometimes they cook in 90
seconds but this morning I cooked them for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I
checked after 90 seconds and the level of the oats in the bowl had not
risen at all. I then cooked another 30 seconds and checked again with
no level rise. Finally after the last 30 seconds the level in the bowl
had risen. No I don't stir the oats and put the oats in and then put
the water in afterwards. I like my oats thick so do not use butter or
milk. Also even as a baby I didn't and even to this day do not eat
cream of wheat! My mother told me the first time she made oatmeal for
me I wouldn't even eat it then. Next time she cooked it thicker and I
had no problem with that.
Since diabetes has me, I put stevia cinnamon and peanutbutter in my
oatmeal but will replace the peanutbutter with pecans when available
too. It's necessary for those of us who diabetes has to balance carbs
with protein since the carbs then get made available to use as energy
rather than fat.

Thanks for this info as I'm going to start eating more oatmeal, not the instant
kind.
Crazy question: do you stir it together before you microwave it? You do dump
it all in at once, right?
I used to hate oatmeal until I realized that I don't like most of the stuff a
lot of people like in theirs. I don't want salt or butter. I want the oats,
apple, walnuts and cinnamon--yum!

I did a search I ought to have done originally and found out three things.
First, 1 cup of water to 1 cup of steel cut oats works,
2) Only 90 seconds in the microwave works, and
3) no stirring is necessary.
I did all of that earlier today and had no overflows and a good breakfast.
Apparently no salt is needed either.
