We used to do this as well. Ours is a high power microwave (I think 1000W, but it could be higher) so I would caution people trying it to start with 1 minute bursts.
It also works just fine with only quick oats and water, and if you do it that way you can get away with about three sets of cooking / stir and then done, which is great when you need hot filling food fast.
I don't tolerate oats (which was a frustrating thing to discover), and I've tried this with a number of other rolled grains. Quinoa works, but smells dreadful to me, so I stopped, but from memory it was the same amount of time. Rolled rice never seemed to lose the crunchy, but maybe that was me rushing.
