My wife makes oatmeal in the microwave but that is just boiling water.

Are you talking about instant oatmeal?
I suppose. The stuff in the little envelope.

That is instant oatmeal, which is pre-cooked.

I don't really eat
oatmeal except in cookies and that is old style Quaker Oats blended.
The "instant" is still is a 2-3 minute thing so I assumed that was
what you were talking about.

No. The quick oats where the cylindrical box says "1 minute".
It requires a full minute of boiling to cook.

Same with rice. Instant might be OK in the MW. You just boil the water
and add the rice, let it sit.
Real rice takes 45 minutes to an hour simmering to cook, no matter how
you do it so I am not sure what the microwave buys you.

???? It takes 20 minutes. White rice. Brown does take longer.

was even Keto for a while.
