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.

 I can't do the quick cooking oats.They taste like paste.  I go for the large flake oats or steel cut. Real oats taste great.

Check at a farm feed store. You can buy 50 pound bags of whole oats. These are perfect for you, and not cooked, steamed, ground or processed in any way.
Years ago, I fed them to 4 horses, but I stopped, because the animals shit out about 30% of the oats undigested. and it gave them the runs.
