Whose Porrige should have been coolest?

[Frank Erskine]

I always use a double saucepan for mine, to prevent it from being overcooked.

[Ian Stirling]

Surely it depends on the size of the combi, and the initial temperature it comes out of the mains? In winter, you may only get 5l/min of piping hot porridge.

[Owain]

I don't know if it was sweetened - I couldn't actually taste anything that week

[Owain]

It's easier just to boil up a drawerful of porridge once a week and take a slice each day.

No problem, just install dual Combis!

1½ minutes on full, and 1 minute on medium in a large jug im the MW.

[Fitz]

That doesn't seem long enought o turn milk and oats into creamy porridge. You're not using ready brek or something are you?

No, mostly only the Mummy ones.

in a 900w MW,plus a minute or so standing time definitely not ready brek, Yuk!.

[Ian Stirling]

Salt and salt-free?

[Rob Morley]

Just use a much larger bowl - I use a large Pyrex mixing bowl.

I used to put the milk/water/oats in the microwave before I went to bed, and set the timer so the porridge was waiting for me when I came down in the morning.

[Mary Fisher]

I suppose that might make you get up. But I'd probably sleep through the alarm as I almost always do.

Not having a mw (from choice) and still loving porage I let the oats sit overnight in the liquid. They then cook more quickly in the morning.But I don't mind the time taken to cook, it gives me time to come round.

They say that you need less sleep as you age.

They lie.

When (in a previous lifetime) I worked at Imperial College the stoods there for a rag week stunt one year made a candle out of a tanker-load (courtesy of BP) of hot wax poured into a mould made of some Russian-gas-pipeline-type steel pipe. They allowed IIRC a week for it to cool down before attempting to extract it but even then the inside was still liquid.

Anyway (and to get back to the point (if there was one :-)) where does it say that all 3 bears' bowls _were_ the same sizes?

[Andy Hall]

.. thought you were going to say that they fitted a linear motor to it... or at least a rope to make a big candle.

I suppose they at least learned the principle of latent heat.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Owain saying something like:

You were that student?
