Porridge. Yay or Neigh?

[Lulliloo]

I LOVE PORRIDGE!!! i was just thinking today that its nearly porridge time again
i like it made on milk not water. i have it with honey usually. sometimes i put a bit of cinnamon in it and occasionally a bit of diced apple.

yum yum yum!!!!

Porridge lover...BUT I am very fussy and only use Uncle Tobys as I find the other brands aren't rolled as thin and always have a lot more chaff in them. I have tested this extensively since my DH is an oatmeal tightarse and has bought lots of other oats, always chaffy, take soooo much longer to cook (quick oats or otherwise). Roll em thin people. I also like to cook them in half water half milk on the stovetop so they have a nice creamy consistency.

Other caveat - beware the gas.

I prefer the stove top too Marydean, but I am keen to try the slow cooker method. I am so not a morning person so I'd have it more often if it's good

The gas, well the price you pay (or others do) for yummy creamy goodness

If only we could harness it - it might provide a reliable source of cooking fuel for the next day's porridge

DH cooks his chaffy porridge in the slowcooker - we have an old style crock pot (they cook cooler than the newer ones) and he puts on a big load, eats it hot the first day, then keeps it in the fridge and reheats it in the micro for the rest of the week :spew:. I like the timer idea better.

Hey we could market that "Natural healthy food, and natural clean cooking rolled into one" Hmmm, now how to harness and reuse all that natural energy...

Ah, yeah no, not for me I like mine fresh each day.

yummmmmm I was wondering how to do it in the slow cooker! I like it with raw sugar - YUM!!!!!! Me, DS1, the dogs ...

I have video of my dog eating porridge for the first time, it was so funny! We also make up a slurry for the chooks!

You would however, have to ensure the flavour wasn't affected
