Of course, the next morning it was pretty solid. Not too dissimilar to a block of firm tofu.
I the container's contents in half, then cut up the half I was trying into little cubes.
I figured micorwaving as-is would mummify it into inedibility, so I added some water and kept cutting/mixing it until it seemed wet enough to survive reheating.
The taste? Fine. Just like fresh!
The texture? Better than I expected, but not quite like fresh. Pribably would be nicer if I could use milk or cream with it, but that's a hard pass given my allergies.
Still … good enough.
Success! 🙂
But then …

After a few days of using this technique, and trying to chop the cold #porridge into finer and finer bits to make it soak and blend better with fresh water before reheating, I suddenly realised I had a better solution at hand. And because it hadn't been #donated away, and also because it was now in a spot where I could easily find and retrieve it … … I was able to start using my very own handheld, easy to use and clean #PorridgeTenderiser to make reheated porridge have the perfect as-if-freshly-cooked #texture! 😀 https://mstdn.ca/@likelyjanlukas/116314183321912969 30/30 #reuse #repurpose #disability #accessibility #cooking #homemade #FoodSecurity #MouthFeel #texture #leftovers
