Surely it depends on the size of the combi, and the initial temperature
it comes out of the mains?
In winter, you may only get 5l/min of piping hot porridge.

No problem, just install dual Combis!

1½ minutes on full, and 1 minute on medium in a large jug im the MW.

That doesn't seem long enought o turn milk and oats into creamy
porridge. You're not using ready brek or something are you?

snip porridgey question

If they'd been cooked in the microwave they'd all be blisteringly hot
and remove the lining from the mouth, so it's a daft question.

If they'd been cooked in my microwave there wouldn't be anything in the
bowls because the flippin stuff always boils over.

Just use a much larger bowl - I use a large Pyrex mixing bowl.

I've gone back to the good old saucepan and hob method, which is
(including cleaning time) far quicker than playing boily-milk lottery
in the microwave.

I used to put the milk/water/oats in the microwave before I went to bed,
and set the timer so the porridge was waiting for me when I came down in
the morning.

I suppose that might make you get up. But I'd probably sleep through the
alarm as I almost always do.

Not having a mw (from choice) and still loving porage I let the oats sit
overnight in the liquid. They then cook more quickly in the morning.But I
don't mind the time taken to cook, it gives me time to come round.

They say that you need less sleep as you age.

They lie.

When (in a previous lifetime) I worked at Imperial College the stoods
there for a rag week stunt one year made a candle out of a tanker-load
(courtesy of BP) of hot wax poured into a mould made of some
Russian-gas-pipeline-type steel pipe. They allowed IIRC a week for it to
cool down before attempting to extract it but even then the inside was
still liquid.

Anyway (and to get back to the point (if there was one :-)) where
does it say that all 3 bears' bowls _were_ the same sizes?

... thought you were going to say that they fitted a linear motor to
it... or at least a rope to make a big candle.

I suppose they at least learned the principle of latent heat.

It's easier just to boil up a drawerful of porridge once a week and take
a slice each day.

You were that student?
