I put applesauce or apple juice on it instead of milk and that way I don't even need to put sugar on it.
There you go, everything that I know about oatmeal.
Your technique is similar to mine, but I don't cook it at all... I only heat a small glass of water for about 55 seconds in the microwave just short of boiling it, and add that to the oatmeal. Discovered a while back that it's a bad idea to add the water before applying heat...
