    Just do a big jug of milk in the micro then do the individual bowls. You just have to stop it half way through and give it a stir (unless you like skin on it :-X)

    water with a teaspoon of washing up liquid, simmer it in the sticky pan - it will simmer quickly so watch it! Soak a bit more if you need but this usually works. I make porridge in the microwave now ;)

    If you don't like fadding with individual bowls for micro porridge why don't you nuke it (technical term) in one big mixing bowl and divvy out at the table. :-/ Porridge and pans don't mix

    I like mine made with water and it seems easier to wash off than when the kids have porridge with milk (eugh!)

    I heard once that if you leave a pan upside down on grass overnight all the burned bits will come off easily. Not sure if this works.
