Can I double up porridge packets?

Question

Simple question, can I put two packets of instant porridge together, and just double the milk? Or would that mess with cooking time, assuming I would normally do it in the microwave on full for 2 minutes?

Mix the 2 packets and double the milk.Heat , after the 2 minutes are up, give the porridge a stir and continue to heat for only 1 more minute. YUM= )

Answer 2

be sure to use a big bowl or it will run over.

Answer 3

yes you can, I used to to that as 1 packet wasn't enough.

Cooking time is obviously going to be slightly longer because of the increased volume to cook. Maybe an extra minute. If you keep an eye on it, you can't go wrong :)
