Re porridge in microwave,
for a 800 watter,
Put mix of porridge and milk in, stirred, for 1' 30", take out stir leave a min.
Put back in for 1 min.
Take out, stir, eat.
That's what we do but then ours may be a special version designed for the microwave as well as heatin in a pan.
I think it is the doing it in two halves that stops it exploding.

I do mine in a pan.. don't trust micro waves
 
Well the Pluriel failed the MOT.:(
On one thing.
Being driven with the wrong petrol in it!:rolleyes:
According to the peeps who work there and know me very well, this is an increasing problem.
Peeps all fill their cars up with E10 as that is cheaper and basically the easiest to find.
But it put the lambda reading up to "illegal". Apparently it don't burn as clean in a 54 plate car, as it should.
So the advice is to change the oil and filter as apparently that can effect it too, then fill up with E5 and take for a good long burn.
Normally I MOT it then service it and fix any MOT issues at the same time, not that I get many MOT issues usually.
So I now have the oil and oil filter, I'll have the air filter tomoz prolly, we just have 1/2 a tank of E10 to get rid of.:rolleyes:
doubt I'll be able to syphon it out any sense.
now have to find an E5 pump in a fuel station!!
What a farce. So much for being "green"!:mad::mad::mad:

Put a small plate over the bowl, stops the splatter from coating the inside of the micro ;)

Our car is E10 compatible and could even run on the stuff with even more ethanol in it, with slight modification, but that is only worthwhile in France as you can't get this fool over here. The gadget costs about 100 sovs last time I looked.
The frogs support it like they support lpg.
There seem to be additives you can put in but to me it seems easier to just take the advice then go back to E10 until next MOT!;)
As Ethanol is fully miscible with watter :)eek::eek::eek:) it is said you can "wash" your petrol to remove it. Then filter the watter out of it.
(Does anyone remember cars pulling into the pits to refuel in the days before modern racing where they used a massive funnel with chammy leather in it to take out any water?)

It's funny to think that in the old days of trying to increase compression ratios to barmy levels, in order to stop pre-ignition peeps actually used to put ethanol in to do just this. Not a lot, just a bit!
When I was doing this with cars I used to pinch the fluid used in duplicating machines (Banda type) as that was pure alcohol, roughly.)
Remember the smell of those worksheets that teachers used to hand out, fresh off the press as it were? Purple ink?
I was that soldier!!
