Place the bowl in the microwave and set the timer according to the packet's instructions, usually around 1-2 minutes. As you wait, imagine the oatmeal particles dancing and swirling together in a delicious, scientific experiment. And, did you know that microwaves use non-ionizing radiation to heat your food? Mind blown, right?
The timer goes off, and it's time to check on your oatmeal masterpiece. If it's still a bit runny, just give it another 15 seconds or so. But be careful, my friends, because overcooked oatmeal is a real thing, and it's not pretty.
