Porridge- How do you make it ?

I have followed the instructions, and it ends with me having lumpy porridge.

Does anyone have any great instructions ?

I've ended up following the instructions and it going lumpy before but the last couple of times it's turned out fine. I used a hand whisk to mix it before putting into the microwave, microwaved for a minute at a lower wattage (750, not 900 which is the top wattage on mine). Stirred and whisked it again after a minute, making sure that any lumps forming are blended into the liquid. Put it back in for a minute and then stirred like mad when finished to mix it properly. Leave for a couple of minutes to stand before eating.

I used exactly the amount of milk stated (otherwise it was too watery).

I've been doing inappropriate things with my porridge...turning them into muffins/cookies - yum yum!

I didn't particularly like the porridge (just not my thing) and, but this method requires none of the extra milk and is very nice! See this post on the all about w8 forum:

I tend to just guess with mine. I don't have skimmed milk in the house as my lads only have blue milk so I water that down slosh it in a bowl and sling it in the microwave and keep stopping it to stir it up, probably for 1.30 or 2 minutes altogether.

The thing is that we dont but skimmed milk for the house, only semi skimmed. But I am tempted by the thought of cookies, hmm.

I just made the cookie, and yes I think I like the porridge that way, and the texture came out really nice and everything.

Glad you liked it - it's always good to pass along ideas I've gone from considering returning my porridge to planning on getting more packets in my next order!
