While on the subject of microwaving porridge

How do you stop it exploding everywhere? Doesnt matter if i use the microwave sachet stuff or the regular oats its always the same, after about 90 seconds i need to keep pausing the microwave to stir it a bit and stop it going everywhere!

Use a big plastic bowl, about 10 inches diameter and five inches tall. Put in 40g of Scotts oats and 270g of skimmed milk. Microwave on high power for 3.5 minutes. No need to cover the bowl or stir the stuff at any stage. Completely bomb-proof.

If you use a shallow Pyrex bowl, you are going to regret it.

Porridge just weighs in my stomach for ages, given it a decent go but didnt notice any major benefit on long rides so have gone back to branflakes and peanut butter on toast.

What's all this about sweet porridge with syrup, honey etc? Only thing that should be added to porridge is some salt! ^_^

When I was a kid porridge was made over a long time and to eat it in the morning meant my mother rising well before us so it would be ready , but these days they do a microwave version that's don't in the time it takes to make a cuppa .
Now I'm back in the saddle I decided I need to eat breakfast before heading out and I'll be honest life's stopped me doing this for many years . So I know porridge is good energy food and slow releasing but what I don't know is , is microwave porridge as good as the stove top equivalent

I get my oats from the local health shop. They have two types and both are better than what you get from the supermarket. My favourite is £2.20 a kilo, as natural as it can be.

I'm trying to get my head round how you need to microway it for 4 and a half minutes :laugh: I only need 2 minutes 40 seconds. Maybe you have bigger portions than me ( doubt it :blush: ) or our microway is more powerful.

I used to buy it from the health shop till I twigged its no different to the Asda stuff at half the price for a kilo.
I shred half an apple into it then add Soya milk. 2 minutes in the micro, stir after 1 minute. Done. Then I add grapes. strawberries, raisins if I have any and tuck in. Mmmmm...
