I like to eat 1 cup of oatmeal in the morning but am on a little bit of a time restraint. Anyone try microwaving these oats?

I make a batch of 2 cups oats, 4 cups water, and add sugar and salt. I then pour it into a pyrex "snaptop" and refrigerate. In the AM, scoop out desired amount, add some milk, microwave for 2 1/2 minutes [ 2 portions] in glass bowls, add blueberries, and enjoy.

You put twice the amount of water (so 1/2 cup of oats = 1 cup of water) and microwave until your desired consistency. By 5 minutes the oats are usually dried out of all water and quite soft, so I keep mine in for a shorter time. The only other thing is that after about a minute you will need to open the microwave at times to stir the bowl of oats as it will begin to rise. In all, I find this method quicker than cooking on the stove and with less cleanup (no pot needed).

Hello Joan,I am interested in learning more about microwaving and the production of AGEs. Could you please post any links to any scholarly or other articles that reference this topic?Much appreciated,JT

Yes, this is the perfect size. In fact, the recipe I have makes 3 servings and I've found that it cooks steel cut oats perfectly, and they re-heat great with a little extra milk. Great time-saver for being able to have breakfast before work! The recipe can be found in "Vegan Slow Cooking For Two - or - Just For You" by Kathy Hester. She also has a blog online where a bunch of recipes are posted. (Pear Rose Cardamom Oatmeal) I substituted an apple for the pear and skipped the rosewater, but love the cardamom!

I don't know any reason why they would not be microwavable. Have not tried it myself.

Fits nicely in the microwave....whether the oatmeal overflows or not would depend on the amount of oatmeal you're cooking

I'm eating Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats right now, prepared in a regular stainless pot, same as every morning and they are delicious! Crock pot sounds a bit longer than my usual 20 minutes.

yes, i microwave with them all of the time. i usually reheat my coffee a couple times per cup. i haven't gone for more than one minute.they have worked out quite well, with no crazing or cloudiness, after a year of use. however, i do wish that i could buy one, as they are sold in sets of 6 and one of mine broke.

I haven't bought or used this particular container. However, I have cooked oatmeal in the microwave many many times. I have had it overflow in different containers, but stay in the bowl in the same container another time. I haven't tried lowering the power although that might help. The issues that seem to cause overflow are how full the container is, how long it is cooked without being stirred or the door opened to stop the rise of the oatmeal. I have used both old fashioned and quick cooking oats. Both have overflowed. The container needs to be big enough to hold the oatmeal and have room for the oats to rise.

I use semolina flour in my oatmeal bread, but only one cup. It seems to help with elasticity because of the higher gluten content.

Yes. Make the batter the day before. Cover and allow to sit overnight in refrigerator. This will allow oats to absorb moisture. Before using, add additional milk/water to obtain right consistency.

You can--but why would you want to have to clean that big pot for just one cup? I brew a full pot of tea in the morning and drink tea throughout the day--reheating each cup in the microwave.

I have one of these, and yes, I use it in the microwave almost exclusively. Simple recipe: any cake mix and fruit pie filling of your choice, 3 eggs, mix well(will be thick), and cook in microwave 11 minutes (1100 watt). Done this half a dozen times. Product is in perfect shape.

Wow! Can't imagine what you are doing?? Maybe wattage too high? I've cooked both regular oatmeal and instant with no problems at all! Try boiling the water first in the bowl, then add the oatmeal. Either way it works for me, no problems!
