I cook my porridge in the micro. Mix milk and porridge together in a bowl, 1:30, stir, then 30sec extra, then add “flavor”, then eat.
We just got a Jetboil PCS (personal cooking system) and I tested it out this am.
I was sure it would be quite intense heat so I used more water than milk, because milk tend to burn quite fast.
I fired it up and set it at medium blast/heat, the milk/water mix started to steam within seconds. I then added my porridge and continued to stir it. Within 30sec I had nice and thick porridge and after yet 15-20sec it was done.
We used it quite a bit while out hunting for dragons this last weekend. Cooking two cups of tea no problem. Some Pasta’n'Sause wasn’t a problem either and even couscous.
We will probably get the pot support so that we can cook up a storm and invite other for dinner, well cook something that is not just for one person. e.g. a meal not just a snack.
It’s fast and light and fold up to a nice size “tube” which fits just fine into a pannier.
It’s been awhile since I have cooked on a stove, like other stoves this takes a bit of time to get used to. But when you have figured it out it does what it should do.
I like the cleanness of the JetBoil, just simple and solid things. We have cooked food for 3 days on it now and it is still running on the same gas canister.
As of now I have managed to cook on one gas canister. 9 cups of tea, 4 portions of porridge, 4 portions of noodles, 2 portions of Pasta’n'Sause and one lot of couscous.
