EVERY time I microwave oatmeal it explodes!

Add boiling water, stir leave.
Stir, eat.
If I'm microwaving it, I watch it. I stop it before it boils over. If it's not yet cooked, I start it again.
Usually there is another task I can busy myself with in the kitchen at the same time. It's not like it actually explodes.0 -
I just put a small plate over the bowl.0

use the stove top. microwaved oats are gooey. only takes a few minutes on the stove.
my mum used to do it overnight in the slowcooker. also good.0 -
I watch mine... But then I keep it in for like 5 minutes total on max power, so if I don't watch it and stir whenever it starts overflowing there won't be any oatmeal left in the bowl.0

I do 2 minutes with a 1/2 serving of old fashioned oats and it doesn't overflow. My microwave power level is set at 10.

I hate cooked oatmeal.
I flash boil mine.
Bowl of water in microwave for 3-4 minutes, rolling boil hot.
Remove from microwave.
Toss 1/2 cup of those rolled steel-cut oats into the boiling hot water.
Add protein powder serving.
Add sugar/sugar substitute.
Add nuts.
Add 1/2 cup of milk.
A little butter substitute.
Eat. Like a boss.

I use a digital scale so it's perfect/consistent every time.
Plastic microwave suitable bowl on the scales, zero the scales:
Add 60g of rolled oats
One teaspoon of sugar
Third of a can of evaporated milk
Add skimmed milk until scale reads 300g
Microwave at 800w for 3 minutes.
The type of bowl makes a difference to avoid localised "super-heating" of the liquid - glass is worse than plastic.0 -
I haven't figured it out yet either. I just use a pan.0

Oats (1/2 cup), salt, cinnamon, and about 1 1/2 cups water. Microwave on high for one minute, stir, microwave again for 45-60 seconds.0

Microwave at 50% power for 5 minutes. I have never had mine explode.0

Seriously, the stove top gives such a better end result, it's so worth the 5 minutes.0 -
use the stove0

Do you have a teapot? If so just make the water til it whistles and pour about 1/2 cup on the oats and let it sit a min or so
Because this is what I do, I have always used instant oats. Has anyone done this with regular oats?0 -
Bumping for the oat advice.0

You want explode... try cream of wheat... anyway, don't cook it for long periods of time (longer than a minute at a time is too long).... Stop the microwave and stir it every so often...0

I use my Keurig with no K-cup in it. Just put oatmeal in bowl, bowl on tray. use medium cup setting.
stay tuned for more Oat tips and tricks0
