Rice – Is it possible to cook semolina or rice with milk in the microwave

Is it possible to boil semolina or rice in milk in the microwave?

The problem is that milk will boil over, but I wonder if there are some adapted pots for this purpose or if there is some other trick.

If it's boiling over, you're heating it too much. If you were cooking on the stove, you'd be trying to heat it just enough to almost or barely boil; it's quite easy to boil milk over on the stove too. So try using your microwave on its lowest power, or at least reduce it to that power once the milk is nearly boiling. If it still boils over, it's never going to work. If it's not cooking hot enough, then adjust upward as needed. Keep in mind that if you're cooking something which would be stirred on the stove, you'll still need to stir it some, though probably not as much - it's not extremely hot on the bottom like a stove.
