Burnt Porridge Pan

Always, only do it in the microwave!

Don't fancy seeing my saucepan sitting on the grass - what would the neighbours think ??? ??? They'd probably think I was turning into Mr Trevis (remember him???)

got to admit, thought of neighbours seeing assorted pans on the lawn does put me off a bit. ;D

I have done similar, occasionally I clean my stainless steel whistling kettle, i put it in the back garden, stand well back and spray it with oven cleaner. I leave it out there til its clean. I dont care what the neighbours think. They have beer cans in their garden

The things I have on my lawn do tend to cause some amusement to my neighbours.
The best was the 35ft by 10ft by10ft Aldebaren Gateway.
But thats another story in itself.

So I think a saucepan would be pretty insignificant lol

Maybe I should get out more. I must lead a very sheltered life :-*

I've recently started making porridge for breakfast again, used to years ago sharing with a flatmate. We lived frugally enough, and I learned that baked bean omelette is lovely. Anyway, not being much of a cook, my fiance was impressed enough with my porridge that I am allowed to make it every day! I do the old fashioned way; I found the microwave too unpredictable for boiling over. I am lucky now in that Mother in Law gave us her old Pyrex saucepans. So my recipe for two people is: one cup of Cheapy cheap porridge oats, one cup of milk, one cup of water, pinch of salt if I remember, all in the pan and heat slowly until it goes gloopy. Then leave to settle for a minute before serving.

A couple of weeks ago, I burnt TWO porridges in TWO days. I looked on the web, read my "How Clean is Your House" book, and couldn't find the combination of burnt porridge and Pyrex. So I soaked and soaked with cheapy cheap biological washing powder, and after a week, I was able to use the pans again. I will never again walk away from a porridge pan.

Hi Yall

I am a nuisance for burning pots.

Eg) Rice
Curry
Pasta
Stew

If you soak your pan in cold water with 3 tbs salt they should come up a treat. This tip was given to me by an old dear on the bus one day.

It certainly works for me. ;D
