Microwaves heat only 3 things. Liquids, Fat, and Sugar. Liquids and Fat are the most easily heated. If you are trying to heat oatmeal with no water or anything, it will not heat up because it does not contain much Fat or Water so it will not heat up. Just like trying to heat up a napkin.

Can you heat the cream for ganache in a microwave?
