How do you make your porridge?

[MrsFabuloso]

I use whole oats, soaked overnight in boiling water. If I use 1/2 cup oats, then I put 1/2 cup boiling water, cover and leave it overnight. Then in the morning, I put in about 1/2 cup full cream milk, zap in the microwave for about 1 1/2mins, than add what ever you want, I usally put in some brown sugar or honey with a banana. Yummeee!

I always found Uncle Tobys Oats the best too. I do mine for one person as 1 cup oats, 2 cups of milk. Then in the microwave for 1 minute and then 30 seconds bursts until it looks cooked. Can't remember how to do it on the stove but it always tasted the same for me and in the microwave was easiest in the wee hours of the morning!

Well I might let DH have these & try the uncle toby's. I thought I remembered her using them instead of homebrand, so maybe thats the only difference. Might try them one day.

i get the uncle toby's ones too!! i think that and soaking them makes all the difference, ive also soaked mine overnight!!

i use the home brand ones.
i cook it on the stove with full cream milk and a tablespoon of brown sugar until he goes really gluggy. (porrige should bind your stomach closed the grandmas always said :P) Then when you serve it up you add a little more milk around it and then extra sugar on top to add crunch XD It's so bad for you, really.. yet oh so good :P

I use Carmens Oats here. Aus made and owned I find the stove top does a better job, I have had to do too many clean ups in the microwave so I don't bother. If I have time I let the oats soak for a bit in the morning before cooking.

DH loves his full of dried fruit, I can't stand it that way.

I remember my grandparents soaking the oats overnight for porridge in the morning so I think that is the traditional way of doing it. And they have to have salt!! IMO
