i can easily do other things while the 2 and 8:11 are
going so it's really not a lot of time involved at all.

 
Granted I use the "1-minute" oats and add the water about
an hour before I nuke 'em so they'll be fully hydrated.
I microwave oatmeal on full power for 2.5 minutes, stirring
after the first 1.5 minute.
 
That gives me enough time to pour a glass of milk and slice
a pat of butter to go in my oatmeal.

I can't do the quick cooking oats.They taste like paste. 

Perhaps they have the texture of paste.  Their flavor should
be the same as rolled oats.
