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?

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

Do not eat. It's so simple to cook regular oats.

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.

not very "instant" if you have to wait for the microwave

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.

hot water form the machine w/ a 15 sec burst in the microwave to make it hotter. then add sugar, half and half. nice and creamy and HOT. no slime factor.

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.



Battery operated?
