Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

             You could ask the folks in the COOKING echo, but I don't suppose
they'd correct your grammar... [chuckle].

             IMHO a native speaker would be more likely to say "Can I replace
the water with milk?" or "Can I substitute milk for the water?" here.

             Now, as to your question... I've never tried using quick-cooking
oatmeal or preparing hot cereal in a microwave oven.  But it seems to me that
ground or rolled oats need to absorb a certain amount of liquid.  You haven't
specified the butterfat content of the milk in this case.  If you prefer skim
milk at 0-2% you may not get the same result someone else would at 3.25%.  At
any rate, I figure milk is probably less easily absorbed than water.

             I'd suggest you begin by substituting 10 ml of milk for the same
amount of water, and if you like the result keep increasing the proportion of
milk in similar increments until you find you don't like the result....  :-))
