Can someone offer up instructions for cooking cream of wheat in the
microwave, so it doesn`t end up a ball of glue in the bottom of the bowl.
Thanks.

Either use a lower setting or stop it and stir it every 20-30 seconds
or so. It doesn't take that long to cook.

I get those little bags and it's 2/3 cup of milk or water and cook on high
for 2 minutes

It helps if you stop and stir it every 30 seconds.

Careful if you use milk. Foams all over creation when I've done it.

Put in some cardamom, brown sugar and orange zest. Yum!

The regular stuff (the 10 minutes on the stovetop variety) takes about
3 minutes stirring every 30 seconds for, at least, the last two
minutes. That's in my older model microwave. It might not take as
long in newer models. I believe the ratio is 3 tbsp cereal to 1 cup
water (or it could be 2/3 cup).
