How do you make your porridge?

[Party-of-five]

did you get quick oats? i only used quick oats in the microwave but when Ive bought the wrong ones ive cooked them in a pot with milk just on low else it makes a huge mess on the stove, I just keep adding more milk and tasting to make sure they are cooked. then once cooked I like honey on mine but DS likes brown sugar on his.
Ive tried using water but I dont get the same creamy result.
Oh and the instant sachets rock!!
fingerscrossed someone else replys with some clearer instructions

Thanks. They are just home brand ones.
I've tried the sachets, but they weren't the same & yeah, Grandma's were really creamy.
I miss her cooking so much!

Nannas/grandmas are the best cooks,
When we used to go stay at nannas when we were kids I always remember waking up to her cooking porridge on the wood stove

I can't give exact measurements, but I just put about a cup of rolled oats in an microwave jug, cover with milk and zap for about 6 or 7 mins. Stir and if it needs it add more milk and zap a bit more. I put brown sugar on top afterwards. I used to put a bit of salt in it, but stopped that once DS1 started eating porrige.

i do i cup of oats soaked in 1 cup of boiled water in a saucepan ( for as long as you want to leave them say 30 mins) then add 1 cup of milk and cook on the stove top, top with brown sugar!

This is roughly how I do it too, sometimes I salt it rather than sugar, with a knob of butter in the enctre once its served, and cold milk.
