I have recently attempted to make porridge and after epically failing and asking a few people about where I went wrong I had the mickey taken out of me big time. I however don't think this is fair!
Everyone keeps telling me porridge is good and sooo easy to make so I decided to make some myself. I got the wee 2 min sachets and with only short instructions I thought how hard can it be! First it told me to add milk to the sachet but it didn't say how much so after reading the box like 10 times I decided to just take out the sachet where I ended up seeing a pour line! But as I poured the milk in the sachet got wider and I didn't know if I was supposed to maintain the shape by squeezing it or let it get fat! After deliberating, I just decided to cook it.
However when I tried to put the sachet in the microwave I was faced with the difficulty of trying to make the sachet sit upright which didn't work but as I tried to lay it down the milk was pouring out! Eventually I decided to put it in a bowl but after being cooked it was ridiculously watery. I thought it was because you are supposed to cook the porridge in the sachet as the wee sachet thing was made of weird material like it was supposed to go in the microwave (if you know what I mean).
So after a failed attempt I queried with some friends about where I went wrong and got the piss out of me! However, nowhere on the instructions does it say 1. The amount of milk to put in the sachet or 2. Pour it into a bowl! In future I feel the cooking instructions on quickmade meals need to be made more clear asjust because its quick doesn't mean we will guess how to cook it. In addition I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this problem...
