My porridge also sticks to the bottom of the saucepan. But when cooked, I eat it straight from the saucepan. So I scrape tha stuck bit and eat it. I cook it in milk.

I also use a microwave to make porridge, the proportions are 2/1, 2 ramekins of water to one of jumbo organic oats.

Ffosse if you don't have a microwave you could buy a small Bain-marie there are loads on Amazon at a reasonable price and they are great for sauces and scrambled eggs too. ..

Re: How can you prevent porridge from sticking to the bottom of the pan?

A microwave free zone here too Ffosse, like you, never needed or used one, time is something I've got plenty of.

Concerning the porridge (which I have been having every day since Nelson took his first commission) I heat up the porridge very slowly, stirring all the time until it bubbles and spits. Empty the contents of the pan into a bowl and under a hot tap remove most of the sticky material with your stirring spoon. Then with a firm washing up brush remove the rest under a running tap and finish with a wipe round with the dish cloth. Replace pan into pan drawer and eat the porridge in a nice clean and tidy kitchen. Speed is of the essence, and the porridge will still be piping hot and ready to be consumed.....

My preferred washing up brush is supplied by 'Lakeland' and is firm enough to remove barnacles from the hull of a boat.....Well, almost....

I have only just discovered Mornflake Oatmeal (as opposed to porridge oats) and I absolutely love it. It has a real depth to it when cooked in milk.

The pan is a problem though so normally just end up leaving it in soak overnight. I also do not have a microwave.

It's a good question though Ffosse. I might have to experiment
