Microwave cooking directions. Mix 3 Tbsp cereal, 3/4 cup cold tap water or milk and a dash of salt (optional) in a 2 cup microwavable bowl (I always use a _large_ bowl as it tries to overflow when cooking). For creamier cereal, use milk. Cook on high (100 % power) for 1 minute. Stir. Cook 1-2 minutes more, stirring well every 30 seconds, until thick and smooth. Mix well before serving.
