I went through all these processes, also. Ended up with a very large microwaveable cereal bowl. I do the same thing everyday: Half cup old-fashioned oats, full cup water, a pinch of raisins, and a pinch of seeds or walnuts in a Pam Butter sprayed bowl. Stir. Put in microwave full speed until it comes to a full boil. My microwave is low wattage, and this takes 3 minutes. Figure out how long yours takes, push the button and go take your shower. When you come back it will be cool enough to eat — right out of the bowl. Fill the bowl with water and let it set ten minutes (or all day) for easy cleanup. If you wish, add 1/4 c Eggbeaters for protein. (When I do this I add a bit of fake sugar, and cover the top with lots of nutmeg. It is reminiscent of rice pudding.) Splenda brown sugar is good if you require milk and sugar, which is how many serve oatmeal.
Lots of busy-mom trial and error to get to this point! Enjoy.

That is a great idea using the larger bowl, I can’t tell you how many times my oats have overflowed in the microwave b/c my bowl is too small! I will keep your suggestions in mind. Your mug/bowl is very cute!
