My natural tendency to procrastinate led me to an interesting discovery.
If you try to clean up oatmeal while it is hot or after it has cooled in
the pan it tends to stick a bit. If you put a tight fitting top on it
and let it sit the oatmeal comes off very easily. It is a curious thing,
but it makes clean-up a lot easier.
