I cheat with my oatmeal, though. I put 1/2 cup oatmeal (not quick-cooking) and one cup water in a bowl and nuke it at half power for six minutes. Then I add salt (Alton Brown says to always add the salt after cooking because it allows the nice gooey stuff to develop better), brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, then stir vigorously.
