It's a good thing I use a splatter shield.

On the advice of various nutrition books/sites I decided to switch from "quick 1-minute" oatmeal in the morning to "old-fashioned" oatmeal. Basically the old-fashioned ones are whole oats versus 1-minute, which are oats that have been cut up some so they cook faster. This being the first time I've had whole oats in a while I read the directions, mixed everything together and popped it into the microwave.

Now, with 1-minute oats, the directions are 1.5 to 2 minutes in the microwave and I've found I needed the full 2 minutes to cook the things. So, when the old-fashioned said they took 2.5 to 3 minutes, I put them in for the full three minutes.

That would appear to be a bit long. It's a good thing I use a splatter shield - most of the oatmeal did stay in the bowl, thanks to the cover. And I suppose the microwave did need a cleaning anyway. ;-)
