I cook my oatmeal in the microwave in a Pyrex bowl. Choose a single-serving bowl (and a microwave heat setting) so that it doesn't boil over while cooking unattended.
Pour boiling water from the electric kettle onto the Quaker's Old Fashioned rolled oats.
Microwave, 4 minutes on 20% power with no lid. Vary water/oat proportions, microwave power and cook time to suit your microwave, bowl, and consistency prefs. If you start in the microwave with cold water, your oatmeal will be mushier.
Add flavorings and eat the oatmeal out of the same bowl. Note that you can add some flavorings prior to cooking such as cinnamon and raisins. I prefer mine plain cooked with milk and maple syrup added afterward.
No pot to wash. The bowl is dishwasher-safe.
Every morning. Simple, fast, reliable. Tasty.
