Making porridge - are you a cooker or a microwave person?

wur you know the answer,cooker now stop fecking around B-)

i've never used a m/wave .

just something not right to me about using radio waves to cook a dinner

microwave, half milk, half hot water 3 1/2 mins job done.

wont overflow in my experience

cooker

i make my sandwiches for work while the porage is heating up, so not really wasting any time

porridge?

tramps food

cooker

porage is good for you

fills you up and has all the B vitamins in it

I had porridge every day for breakfast until i was around 15 ..
I never had it again until 7 days ago ..
Now I have it every other day for my brekkie :-) (well 4 times in last 7 days)..


Microwave
Put scotch porridge oats heaped in a bowl
cover fully in milk
heat in microwave for exactly 3 minutes
take out and stir well
add more milk if you wish
add sugar/sweetener if you wish
and Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D :D

Hob.

7/8 mug of Flahavan's Organic Jumbo Irish Oats. (Though Scotch will do if you are really hard up)

2 1/4 mugs cold water.

Bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring nearly all the time. Pinch of salt after 4 minutesish.

Pour into bowl, leave for 10 minutes until cooled and set.

Scrapings into dog bowl.

Sprinkle of demerara and splash of milk.

kippers
boiled eggs

1 cup of oats
Add 1 cup of milk, stir, then add 2 cups of boiling water, stir.
Microwave for about 3 minutes then stir and leave for about 5 minutes.
serves 2 sweeten or add salt.
Great with added fruit. Damn site cheaper than cereals and better for you.

cooker.

micro, a doddle

don't put it in the microwave unless you want to nuke it !!!

and also this cold weather - when the porridge is ready, take it off the heat and add a splash of whisky.

This 3 minutes in the microwave business, is that on full power? Only I put them in for one and a half minutes and they come out very hot.

Well. I just made my first bowl of microwaved porridge. Half of it is lying on the floor of the oven. :(

Bit trickier than I thought.

same as fenway, 1 1/2 mins in microwave and it's done, made with soya milk and honey

you're better off with those porage in sachets specially made for the microwave(which the ex had and how I know about it)

if you're just using Scott's Porage oats, best used on the hob

It depends on the power of the microwave oven so start with a short time and build up.

Scott's Porage Oats is exactly the same as Quaker Oats, except the packaging, obviously.

as long as it's not Irish

Irish oats are far superior to Scotch.

I couldn't believe the difference when I tried them last year.

And Asdas are doing 1.5 kg bags of standard Flahavan's for 99p and that's a bargain that should appeal to any Scotsman.

is porriidge good for you , i have porridge at break and at dinner when working

Porridge is very good for you.

Contains soluble fibre and lowers cholesterol.

thanks green that pleases me

Made with water though.

Those sachets are perfectly good without milk.

oh i have mine with milk

i don't put any salt in it

unnecessary

Milk is only good for baby cows so should be consumed in moderation.

I put a tiny pinch in at the end, though I'm not bothered if I forget.

WEETABIX

COLD MILK

and none of that wishy washy liberal goody two shoes mind my facking carbon footprint semi skimmed sh1te.

boring phecker :D

full fat milk

porridge oats

cooker


dollop of home made jam

DONE

(you microwavers should be hung drawn and quartered)

Skimmed milk is nothing to do with 'carbon footprints'. Whole milk has a lot of saturated fat, which contributes to heart disease, diabetes, obesity and many other diseases. I love whole milk with porrige, but don't use it. There's a milk you can get which is just 1% fat, which is about half the fat of semi-skimmed. I use that.

skimmed milk is brilliant, i love that

I'm with punterfleece, but availability of organic skimmed is very limited so I have to buy semi at the moment. Give it a few years though.

Microwave, as I'm always in a massive rush. TBF, I think I've mastered it now after years of trial & error. Works well with a tiny blob of golden syrup imho :x

must take a few good wasted minutes to wait for the syrup to come off the spoon??

Punter - not at all - I just stir it in violently ;)

How do you stop it overflowing?

microwave ffs

ok

now get rid of this fecking ** pointless thread ffs

Micro wave

It overflows in the microwave because it has been cooked for too long or the bowl is too small.

Newer high power microwaves need less cooking time.
