If I am somewhere that has a hot water dispenser and when I am camping and have hot water from a pot, I will just add that. Otherwise will nuke together with cold water.

It's not the greatest texture but generally if I'm eating it I'm in a hurry anyway, so it beats a cold bagel or poptart.

you could nuke the water and then add the oatmeal, that's how I did it as a kid. I have an electric cordless kettle now, and I freaking love it.

Milk is a must, it helps solidify the oatmeal if you've mixed the correct proportion of water to it.

I know, but why bother? It works fine for me the way it is and I don't mind the difference in texture.

This is what I do if I don't have hot water available. Microwaving them together is beyond nasty.

ugh I loathe instant oatmeal.

If I'm going to have oatmeal, I prefer steel cut oats, cooked with dried cranberries (instead of raisins). Or, if I want apple cinnamon oatmeal, I keep actual dried apples on hand for that.

I can understand eating it in a pinch if you absolutely must, but by choice? sick

I like maple and brown sugar.
Microwave the water for 1 min, pour over the oatmeal and throw in a little honey. Mmm..

I pour boiling water on mine the rare occasions that I have it.
I agree that nuking it all together makes the oats more slimy.

I actually don't like regular oatmeal at all, the oats get all mushy and gross and slimy, almost as bad as nuking the two together.

Nope, it has a base station, I never really knew how much I'd use this thing until I got it, I use it every day without fail.

This.

Though, I purchased some Scottish oatmeal from Bob's Red Mill today, and it takes 4-5 minutes in the microwave, but is pretty good. Flavor isn't as good as steel cut oats, but they're good for if I forget to make my weekly batch of oatmeal for work breakfasts.

granted it isn't the best tasting...but when in a hurry, is better than nothing

I too would rather have old fashioned oats with cinnamon, raisins, real butter, sweetened, and some cream. Don't always have time.
