Quaker Porridge Oats

Advantages: tasty, filling, nutritious, cheap
Disadvantages: none whatsoever

...I tend to go for Quaker because that's what I was brought up on, and there's something about that traditional red and blue box with the kindly Quaker man on the front that reminds me of all the best, most comforting things about my childhood. They're not the cheapest at around £1.30 for 1 kg, but you'll get many meals out of a kilogramme so it's hardly an extravagance to buy a brand name. Porridge oats are oats that have been rolled and broken down ...
...But never mind that. Porridge tastes fantastic and that's the bottom line. Buying cheaper oats than Quaker will produce all of the same results, but I'm sticking with the brand because it never disappoints on quality and flavour, and because I like the old man on the box. ... Read review

Advantages: quick to make
Disadvantages: probably not the most healthy of breakfasts

...porridge. It is made by Quaker and comes in a box of 8 sachets. There are four different flavours, original, Berry Burst, Baked Apple and Golden Syrup. I bought my last box from Safeway on special offer for 99p. The reason it is so easy is because you make it in the microwave. All you do is empty the sachet into a large bowl and stir in 180ml of milk, which is approximately a cup full. I have been making these for so long now that I know exactly ...

Advantages: Quality Rolled oats great for baking with
Disadvantages: Makes horrible Porridge

To make a bowl of porridge take a saucepan with salted water in add a handful of oatmeal medium or coarse depending on how you feel and boil until thick enough. Serve in a bowl with milk or cream so your porridge is a floating island in a sea of milk. Add salt to taste and enjoy a meal to pick you up for the day. Do not use rolled oats if you want real porridge as it ends up with no real texture and in my opinion not worth even trying. What can ...
...can be used for breakfast. I can think of two ways. Mueslei add nuts dried fruit brown sugar and whatever else you like and serve cold with cold milk. Porridge oats are delicious with your Cornflakes to add a variety of taste and texture. I would not advocate eating them on their own!

Advantages: quick, cheap, easy
Disadvantages: not to everyone's taste

I’m on a new diet and every morning, at about 730am, I open the cupboard door in the kitchen and bleary eyed, take the Quaker’s porridge oats out of the cupboard. My husband is normally still asleep at this time and I tiptoe around making the porridge for both of us. There are many different ways of making porridge and there are also different types of porridge. So first of all I will give you a little background. Porridge, as I know ...
...Scottish dish and being Scottish, I was brought up on the stuff! The Scottish poet, Rabbie Burns, referred to it as "Chief of Scotia's Food”. It is usually refined (i.e. broken down or milled into smaller bits) There is also the large jumbo porridge, which is what oatmeal is like in its natural state, and it takes longer to cook, and longer to digest. Anyway there are hundreds of different types of that aren’t actually made with oatmeal! ... Read review

Advantages: Unique and tasty
Disadvantages: Takes longer to make than a cold cereal

...to cool slightly. When Quaker introduced 'Real Fruit Porridge' I thought 'what the hell?!? how strange!!!' After trying this new variety I would say its an interesting twist to a simple satisfying breakie. This cereal contains sultanas, dates, apple and cinamon along with the standard Quaker oats. Sold in 750g pack it lasts for roughly 6 months - but you'll have finished it long before then. Packaging has the Quaker logo on a blue sky backdrop ...
...facts on the back about Quaker being in business in Cupar, Scotland since 1899. The fact that they use renewable energy sources - probably a wind farm as they use the windmill logo. The fact that oats are wholegrain and that there are no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Also a serving contains beta glucan to reduce cholesterol. The cooking instructions are fairly simple but I wouldn't microwave it as they advise - it goes really lumpy!!! ... Read review
