Cereal Cooking Guidelines

1.Cereals can be simply prepared in the microwave oven in individual serving bowls.

2.Large cereal bowls or casserole dishes are best-suited for cooking cereals in the microwave oven. With large bowls, there is less chance for cereal to spill over into the microwave oven cavity. Stirring during the cooking time will help to prevent boil overs and lumping.

1.Place rolled oats in 8-inch square dish. Heat on Full power for 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes, or until warmed. Stir twice during heating time.
