Its only the dryness of the cream of wheat I worry about when I prepare it in a microwave, the stove top is the most sufficient way to prepare the dish cream of wheat, when it is prepared in a microwave it is never to even compare to thou of stovetop cream of wheat, the only proper time I prepare it in a microwave is when I am feeling sloth (ish), other times it is going to be stove top.
Yeah I agree. Still, I make sure I wake up early enough in order to have time to prepare my cream of wheat just to avoid having to use the microwave. I found that the instant packs dont have that issue, but they taste a little bit different
