Questions about Porridge
How do you make porridge on the hob?
For a creamy bowl, simmer one part rolled oats with about three parts milk or water, stirring often, for 5–7 minutes. Take it off the heat when it is a little looser than you want; it thickens as it stands.
Can you make porridge in the microwave?
Mix rolled oats and milk or water in a large microwave-safe bowl, then cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir well and cook in 30-second bursts until creamy, watching closely because porridge can bubble over.
What can you add to porridge besides sugar?
Try sliced banana, stewed apple or berries with cinnamon, or add chopped nuts and a spoonful of yoghurt. For a savoury bowl, top it with a fried egg, spring onions and a little soy sauce.
Can you make porridge the night before?
Yes. Stir oats and milk or water together, cover and refrigerate overnight; eat it cold, or warm it gently in a pan with a splash more liquid. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and use them within two days.
How do you stop porridge sticking to the pan?
Use a heavy-based saucepan and keep the heat low once it starts simmering. Stir regularly, scraping the bottom and corners; soaking the pan in warm water straight after serving makes it easier to clean.
Is porridge the same as oatmeal porridge?
Oatmeal porridge is made from oats, while porridge can also be made from grains such as rice or wheat. In everyday British usage, though, “porridge” usually means a bowl of cooked oats.
