thistledo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Trying to eat healthier breakfasts as going by the NHS website my current choices are not. So I tried to make porridge this morning, followed the box instructions exactly and it was runny as f**k, fired more oats in and put it back in the microwave. This time the bowl overflowed with roasting hot slop I managed to burn myself with and coupling that with having to clean the microwave now I was pretty angry about it all, probably increasing my blood pressure. Moral of the story is I should have just eaten the fucking crunchy nut cornflakes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral of the story is I should have just eaten the fucking crunchy nut cornflakes. If it helps, half a cup of oats, 1 and 1/2 cups of water. Pinch of salt. On the hob and stir gently for about 5 -6 minutes or until it looks the way you like. Works every time. If you wear a Fitbit, the stirring adds to your steps as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the sachets and give it three and a half minutes (750w). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However much oats are in pot, fill upto that level with cold water and then top with a touch of milk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the sensitive animal lover I am I didn't have the heart to chuck them in the skip. Thankfully the mother was close by and I managed to scoop the eggs and frog up and put them in the nearby field and completed my good deed for the day. A wee while later I spotted another frog and took it to the same place. The eggs I had left earlier were gone. And so I'm now wondering if the first frog has taken the eggs away to hide or if I had the mother the second time and the first frog was an intruder who has just got a free meal. Don't move frogs. It can spread the chytrid plague. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.arguk.org/info-advice/advice-notes/324-advice-note-4-amphibian-disease-precautions-a-guide-for-uk-fieldworkers-pdf-2/file&ved=2ahUKEwit3ujevfLrAhWSiVwKHUphDOQQFjAAegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw0AcvWs_y6XttnTf5hU9gSF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persevere man, it's worth it.Sack the microwave for starters, get a wee pot, half a pint of cold water, a handful of porridge and get it on the cooker. 3 or 4 minutes and yeeha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm going against the tide here. Porridge is easy in any method but I always choose the microwave. I have no idea of quantities as I do it by eye now (that's how good I am). On the other hand, don't start me about microwave scrambled eggs. Isn't life strange? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't life strange?Microwave scrambled eggs are ok, just ok, if you're willing to stop the process every 30 seconds and give them a wee stir.Never quite be hob-a-like though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Didn't expect many people to actually respond to this, thoroughly microwaved shamed here. I normally don't cook anything in it. I can actually cook as well, I make incredibly good lasagne and bolognese dishes, honest. Missus ended up making me it this morning, but tomorrow the hob shall be used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their sausage rolls are sorely underrated and just this week @Chicken Wing informed me of a rather fantastic sounding broccoli and cheese pie that I shall have to sample at the next available opportunity. Sadly the nearest place I can get Stephens stuff is the Co-op in Tayport. However I shall be passing through Tayport next week so may need to visit that Co-op and relieve them of all their Stephens produce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
