Breakfast and Supper

I always share a bowl of porridge oat with the family.The quantities I use are: 1 cup of porridge oats to 2 and a half cups of semi skimmed milk or milk and water mixed.In a microwaveable deep bowl I cook full power 4-6 minutes depending on oven wattage. Stir and cook for another 4 minutes. Carefully because porridge will now be very hot test to see if cooked, if not keep cooking at a bout 15 seconds at a time on full power till cooked to your standard. Remember to remove spoon from bowl whilst cooking. Serve with a healthy topping of your choice.
You can cook porridge in a pan on the hob but best use water and stir to stop sticking.Some people use seasoning in preference to sweeteners, so every one to their own. Some people North of England have different ideas on porridge as I found out whilst a cook in the Royal Air Force
