First, how much oats do you put in a bowl.  Then do you add water, if so how much.  How long do you microwave them?

Second, when I was feeding hogs I'd take a flare box wagon full of oats to town where they would hull and roll the oats.  They looked like oatmeal.  Found you could cook them and they were oatmeal!  However they never were like Quaker oats.
