I’ve just made some in a pressure cooker and it was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever tasted.
How do YOU make porridge?
- Thread starter Merlin5
- Start date
A pressure cooker (under pressure) is going to liquify oats. - ? you'd have to make pints too.
Barley flakes cook quickly, for me, so mixing with regular oats would be a problem - perhaps I need some thicker rolled ones.
Sat picked up some barley malt extract, will try that as a cheaper/tastier? topping alternative to (tsp)dark-sugar, or maple.
( Need a picture of that marmite oats thing .. otherwise it didn't happen.)

7 mins at 12.5 psi was perfect, oats stayed intact with some bite still but really good creamy texture. Obviously if you stick them in there for an hour it’s going to be grim. I made a big batch to share but no reason you couldn’t save some to gently reheat if it was just you.
ok - subsequently saw an article that listed my concerns
my prestige cooker even on a gas hob would take 5mins to get to pressure ... and the cleaning up of the pans versus a right sized saucepan and <10mins

Milk was no issue in my electric cooker. It’s not a quick option vs the microwave but proper porridge takes 15-20 mins to make on the stove so not too bad. I mainly tried it for an experiment but the flavour and texture was better than any other method I’ve tried.
FINALLY got over my fear of Porridge this week. Anyone else find that their pallet just opens up more and more as the years go on and you just find yourself enjoying stuff you'd previously swore never to touch? The texture, taste and even the smell of Porridge turned my stomach for years and years but I've been having two bowls a day for the past few days now and really enjoying it.
Been bull rushing a new regime of exercise these past few months and it's left me very short of time during the evenings to make my usual overnight oats so needed something quick and warm for the mornings.
Bit of Honey
Some ground Flax, Linseed and Pumpkin seeds
Goji Berries
Almond Milk.

Oats, milk and three twists of salt. Two minutes in the dinger, stir and then zap for another twenty seconds.

1st rule of Porridge Club - NO MEASURING! it's done by eye
2nd Rule of Porridge Club - We don't talk about rule one or Porridge club unless Significant Other is following a measured recipe and creating Sub-standard Porridge!!!
Sling oats in Pan with salt, add enough water to cover - simmer until greatness is nearly achieved.
add splash of milk for creaminess and sugar to taste and Bob is your mother's brother!!!!

yes these take some cooking versus regular rolled, I usually soak them overnight.
Lol - I can understand this with millelnials/can't wait generation, brought up on some of Quaker & Co. instant muck (even Ready-brek's better than that),
but otherwise porridge is pretty inoffensive/inert.
but (need to catch up on this weeks ITV 'hypothesis - self-inflicted' allergies programme) I suppose we will soon have people gravely ill from this killer breakfast.
Depends where I am.
At work 50g oats soaked overnight in 125ml of water then add another 200ml of milk in the morning and microwave until thick.
On the hob same but more milk no water long slow and low heat. I love my porridge like wallpaper paste! Then scoop of jam or some chopped banana and honey on top.

Oats + soya milk + blueberries + banana = hearty breakfast.
I microwave it though

Yep, I'm the same way. In my younger years porridge used to make me gag. Now I regularly have it for breakfast. Maybe it was just my Mother's awful cooking that caused me to hate it
They probably mean the watered down version by the likes of alpro.
have now looked on the web, indeed, 2 versions ... choices .... have some tins ... comments suggest tinned will be creamier.
