I have the same problem with rice. The only way I can cook rice is in the microwave. It always turns out perfect if I nuke it. If I try it any other way, it either turns to mush or burns onto the pot. Try nuking your porridge. It works for me, but it's still a tricky bugger - it keeps trying to get out of whatever you're cooking it in, so you keep having to stop the microwave, stir it a bit and start again. In other words, you have to keep your eye on it constantly - unlike the watched pot that never boils, the watched porridge constantly boils over the top and then you end up with mushy oatmeal all over the insides of the microwave. If that happens, just scrape it off and back into the bowl - no one will ever know. ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
