[Closed] Making porridge in the microwave.....how?

yoshimi · 2013-01-16T08:28:33Z

I always enjoy a bowl of porridge at the weekend - made in a pan on the stove with milk and topped off with sugar - half a cup of oats and a full cup of milk. Milk soaks into the oats, I stir for around 7 mins and tadah - perfect porridge. Over the weekend I bought one of these new-fangled microwave things with the idea that I could have porridge before work - usual, half cup of oats, full cup of milk, in a bowl, stir, place in microwave on full power for 5mins............exploded porridge everywhere:( Yesterday morning, much more cautious, 3 x 1.5mins on full power stirring in between, ended up with hard oats that hadn't expanded and not soaked up the milk :( This morning - tried to find a middle ground - porridge all over the microwave again :( WHHHYYYYYYYY????? <shaking fist at the sky> So, what do I do?

Simple to measure I use a Mug.
Half fill the mug with porridge
1 full mug of cold water
Pour both into a bowl and microwave at 750 for 4 mins and top with honey
Perfect porridge every time.
