Does anyone know if you can freeze porridge and if you can how long will it last please ??

I would like to bulk cook it.

Found this on Mumsnet, I've never tried freezing it myself. It does cook quickly in the microwave.

I would agree with this. I do mine each morning in the microwave. It is done in the time it takes to fill the kettle and make my morning cuppa.

I suppose you could but I can't see why you would want to as it would just take up space in the freezer.It only takes a coupole of minutes to make anyway but each to their own I suppose

When my Mum had an Aga she used to make the best porriage I ever had in the slow oven overnight. I used to love it, but not everyone was into porriage as much and it didn't work so well in small amounts, so I used to freeze portions and it was fine. Just defrost, give it a stir, possibly add a little liquid and reheat.

Don`t know about freezing it, but you could keep it in a drawer.

When my brother was working on one of the west coast islands about 20 years ago, his B&B landlady used to give him a slice for his packed lunch. He was NOT impressed.

You could try cooking just one small portion, or holding back a portion next time you cook it, and try freezing that. In a few days get it out and defrost it overnight or go straight to microwave and see what you feel about the result.

Even if I said to you "I batch cook and freeze porridge portions and it's fine" you still don't know if what I say is fine would be acceptable to you because we all like different things.

So - yes you can - but experiment small rather than big at first just in case
