Hey everyone. I have oatmeal for breakfast in the morning but I dont like using the microwave because it's noisy and people are sleeping. It says to micrwave on high for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes in warm water.

What I have been doing is boiling water in the kettle and pouring it in the bowl and letting it absorb for a few minutes. the water is still fairly hot even after 5 minutes. Is this good enough? Oatmeal is oatmeal anyways, right? So as long as the texture is OK for me, then It should be fine? I'm worried about getting the proper nutritional value out of it if the oats aren't cooked or something.
