Bring a small amount of water to a rolling boil, then toss in a couple handfuls of generic regular rolled oats.

Froth will rise and threaten to boil over.  If it does, curse and reduce the heat slightly, but keep the froth as high as possible.

After a minute, add a small handful of dried raisins or similar.

Boil for another minute, reduce to a simmer, and continue until the water is absorbed.  Result - fluffy, chewy, non-gummy oatmeal.

Serve with chopsticks and dental floss.  Enjoy!
