Thanks op heat added

OH has muesli ,it has loads of sugar in it :confused:

ummm, try adding a pinch of cinnamon too!

I can't stand hot cereal and when porridge is cold it's stodgy and awful. But I have high cholesterol and been told to eat it. But I do like muesli. Serious question, is that just as good for apparently lowering cholesterol?

Organic is still not totally organic - also read about killing slugs in the fields ? RHS use slug pellets and they pretend to outlaw it.

"Quaker Oats’ 100% Natural Claim Questioned in Lawsuit"

A lawsuit seeking to be certified as a class action has been filed on behalf of consumers in New York and California against the owner of Quaker Oats after testing found traces of the pesticide glyphosate in some oatmeal.

I read that glycophosphate (roundup weedkiller) is sprayed on the oats as a drying agent before harvest. I only but organic now, slightly dearer.

just original and golden syrup in ours...yak...

Ha, well try that with water, see what you think? I have to have a cuppa first thing, so I set 'em soaking whilst I'm doing my cuppa, and sling in microwave after my tea, and when getting 2nd cuppa of the morning :smiley:

Soak the oats?? that's too much like cooking lol I just add milk to the oats and sling in the microwave for two and a half mins :smile:

buy a bag of oats for 1£ and add rasins or syrup

The Prison Service should employ you to cut costs in the kitchen!

I just pour boiling water on oats and they are good to go! Oats and water = oat milk!

Deb8z, if you make with water, and add some milk, it tastes just the same. The water cooks the oats, instead of milk, that's all. And adding a slosh of milk cooks it down nicely, and you then get all the taste of the milk :smiley: I soak the oats in water for 15 mins, in the bowl, before slinging in the microwave. Don't know if soaking actually does anything, but it feels like it does, ha :smiley:

I'm beginning to think I ought to try this water lark,I'm quite fussy though so I'm just assuming I won't like it :laughing:

Lol, at 'good enough for the horses, good enough for you' :smiley: But Ye, I make mine with water, but add a slosh of milk once cooked

These sachets are a total rip off way of buying porridge. Not only that but the fibre of these sachet oats dont work as well as proper porridge, as was explained on a recent tv show i watched.

So basically, you're paying far more for something with less of the benefits of the original.

​tastes better with water not so creamy but personal preference I guess

​so does normal oats in the microwave

I can't eat porridge in the Summer,it's too warm,I have Weetabix with no sugar and milk,I don't really like it mind you it's just a case of finding something to eat for brekkie :laughing:

No, doesn't taste awful at all. I don't use milk because it adds a lot to the calories, and I'm quite fat enough already.

My standard breakfast is 40g of oats, a sprinkling of salt, a heaped teaspoon of stevia-based sweetener, a few flaked almonds and seeds, and a handful of raisins. I can (and do) eat and enjoy that every day. Much more tasty and satisfying than a bowl of sugary cereal with milk. Mind you, I can rarely say no to a good fry-up if I'm away from home.

I know,I'm old :laughing:

That's fair enough. I'm just saying that it wasn't the norm to add milk, just water. And for those of us that are lacto intolerant, it's still fine. I find soya milk etc doesn't heat well in the pot.

I buy a bag of oats from Morrisons and I don't add Sugar,Syrup or anything,so there,just Milk :stuck_out_tongue:

Young folk nowadays, I give up. Make your porridge with water in a pot the night before, let it set, and in the morning cut into slices and add salt, none of this sweetly, sugary, add fruits, colouring, whatever, tomfoolery.
Oats and water are good enough for the horses, good enough for you. Salt is a nice touch, helps to wake you up.

Water ? ewwwww it only takes that long using Milk anyway,why would you use water,doesn't it taste awful ?

If you're boiling a kettle anyway, use hot water and it only takes 2.5 mins to cook regular porage in the microwave.

Great price. Scotts 10 packs are in Poundland but these are slightly better.

Top deal!

Lovely, thanks op
