I just tried this... Amazing!

My has easier access to boiling water than its microwave! So I tried making porridge with just boiling water today and it worked!

- Take a mug.
- Fill 2/3 with porridge oats
- Fill with water (just over the porridge) and stir fully.
- Put some sort of cover over the mug.
- Leave for a few minutes!

I'm probably going to take a lot of pressure from porridge naturalists! But I just thought I would let you guys know that this actually works- you don't need to buy those £1 little cups!

To make this officially a question.. Has anyone else tried it?!

Here's another one...- Take a mug.- Fill 2/3 with baked beans (make sure you open the can first)- No need to fill with water- Put some sort of cover over the mug.- Leave for a few minutes!Wahey warmed up baked beans! You can even add some toast to the equation and I can instruct you how to do that as well if you like. Now there is no need to buy beans on toast from a cafe you CAN do it yourself.Ipswich78 solving life's little problems one at a time.xx



    Here's another one just for you:

    - Provide absolutely nothing of value to anyone, and cease to have any reason to exist.

    Actually.. I think you already have that down!

    I do this in a Tupperware as the lid helps keep the heat in!

    Yummier and healthier than the pre made ones too.

    I think I will use that method! The mug I used was just because I didn't think it would work!

    I tried preparing oatmeal with just hot water for the first time after so many decades of wasting hundreds of pounds using electricity. Fantastic ! Hot water and a few measures of oatmeal does the trick.

    Same method also works well for pot noodles

    I hate porridge but am giving it another go. But just hot water? I’ve been using milk.
