I think "Instant" porridge is a rip off; selling a very cheap and nutritious staple at a premium by packaging it in wee sachets
I disagree, once I had detonated my [I]n[/I]th bowl of porridge in the microwave at work, buying the little sachets and just pouring hot water over them (with sultanas and maple syrup for flavour) has been a godsend.
I have neither patience nor imagination enough for anything else in the morning...
I think you've just proved kcr right.
As has been said: Bircher muesli. Make a jumbo tub of it at the beginning of the week and then just take it to work in a tub and eat cold.
Rolled oats
Add a handful of fruit, nuts and seeds
Yogurt
Apple juice
leave to soak overnight.
Thanks all (apart from maybe Drac....).
Porlus - I'm going to give that a crack, thanks! If that fails I might try some of the lower budgeted manufactured guff suggested.
For whoever was asking about my work situation, I work in the centre of town so I have other access to hot food. Also I don't work for a big employer, there are two of us.
No need to carry anything in or do any washing up.
Assuming you eat it with your hands...

I'm struggling to understand how someone could "detonate" their porridge more than once. I bet you burn salad and pot noodles too... 😀
Out the box thinking give up on porridge and eat muesli.

I figured out (through messy trial and error) that the works microwave was so powerful that I needed about 6 or 7 twenty second blasts followed by stirring to cook the porridge (proper oats, milk) without it bubbling over and coating the inside of the microwave. By this stage I was so sick of the process that I was glad to pay the $7 for 8 servings that Quaker charges.
Almonds and sultanas or pumpkin seeds + sultanas for me. Delicious.
Made at work with boiling water.

You're welcome.

Spoon just gets a quick rinse with boiling water next time I go for a coffee. No pan, spirtle or bowl to wash.

Not a problem bud. Let us know how you get on with it.
I like to thicken mine with a dollop of peanut butter. Actually makes a good pre ride meal as well.
