Who uses a bowl? For the most part, I don't like microwaved things, so
I cook my oatmeal on the stove, with suitable additions of dried cranberries
and walnuts or pecans. And some butter, probably negating the health benefits
of oatmeal, but too bad.

Then I eat it right out of the pot. Of course, I eat breakfast at home
rather than at work, so I can do things like that.
