I am sure there must be something magical in those spurtles. I wonder how I manage to make perfectly acceptable porridge for the hungry hoards in this house without the need of a saucepan. No stirring with spoon, stick nor spurtle required. But then I am just a poor ignorant sassenach with the culinary finisse of a heathen.

Put oats in a bowl with sufficient water on the previous evening, park in the microwave.
Next morning blast for 30 seconds whilst making the (instant) coffee.
Give a stir and another 1.5 minute blast.
That keeps me going until 6pm when I eat my main (only other) meal.

Yep just about how I do it. Prefer milk to water though and we leave in the fridge overnight.

Yep and real men add salt too. I’ve even seen a chap on the hill eating porridge sandwiches.

Apparently the crofters up beyond Hadrians barrier would make a pot in the morning, eat brekkie, then the remainder would be poured into an empty drawer in the kitchen cabinet. Left to harden off they’d then cut a slice for a snack. Essentially a flapjack.
