Many years ago I started making porridge mix and putting it into individual serving containers so I could take it to work. Then I decided that microwaving porridge was too messy so only make it at home now. But I've continued putting it in individual containers, and it's only just occured to me now that it would be much easier to make it in a big container and measure it as needed ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
So, once the three containers I have now are used up I'm changing to a big container instead, which will reduce my porridge hassle factor considerably.
There's an old Scottish tradition of pouring a batch of porridge in a drawer then slicing off a piece as required, sometimes to be fried.
I have not heard of this. I might try it one day. The draw is probably one of those tin lined draws in a bread makers cabinet
I do porridge everyday, I just make it in the breakfast bowl in the microwave, but I make very plain porridge, I have with brown sugar and a little milk
it's very easy
maybe if I can get some citrus and make some marmalade I can have toast again
