When I was a kid, I never minded the lumps that come with cooking MaltoMeal or Cream of Wheat, but some do. So I realzed one of the reasons the lumps happen if the water is boiling when we pour it in, usually all in the same spot.
In having my last bowl, I tried something different. I sprinkled the cereal on the water before it became hot. It settled in almost like sand, and cooked nice and slow. The result, sadly not that great in the photos, was smooth cereal with no lumps.
Hope that helps!

In my experience, it seems like the only time it clumps is when the cereal is first starting to absorb the hot water. So, my process has always been:
1. Bring water to a boil, once it is boiling, turn off the heat and begin stirring the water with a whisk.
2. While stirring with a whisk, slowly but steadily pour in the malt-o-meal.
No lumps.
