I have found that I don't even need to add water unless I made a small
amount enough that they is no waste. Just putting the lid on the pot
while it is still warm and sitting on the counter something happens in
that pot that makes the oatmeal cohere and it all comes out in one
piece. No rinsing or scouring necessary.

I am eating Cream of wheat these days and it doesn't seem to work as
well for that.
