Thank you for a very enjoyable video on traditional Scottish porridge. I appreciate the information on the cooking tools, techniques, and lore associated with this staple.

I love your Scottish accent! I will try soaking my steel cut oats overnight now before cooking.

Thank you for the lovely video. We just spent several weeks in Scotland and fell in LOVE with your country! Somehow I learned of spurtels and spent our trip trying to find one. None of the shops had them. Luckily we stumbled upon a street market and there was a man selling handmade wooden items. He had a beautiful spurtel that I was able to buy. It’s sitting next to my stove untouched (hence my watching your video- I had to learn how to use it, LOL.) After learning the Harry Potter books were written in Scotland (yes I apparently live under a rock!) I can’t help to think spurttles and magical wands look remarkably similar! Then you mention druids and cauldrons in your video... porridge must equal magic! LOL

I have been eating overnight soaked porridge oats for months now but with milk. Tonight I will soak them in water & see if the taste differs for the better. thanks.

If you have a wooden spoon you have, you have a spirtle. Just hold the spoon end and use the handle end as your spirtle.

I shake the salt shaker 10 times, use 1/4 cup Scottish oats, ~1 1/3 cups cold water. Bring to boil then turn heat to as low as it will go and cook 10 minutes only stirring at the end. I use Bob's Red Mill Scottish oats because that's what's available at the supermarket.

45 grams? I've always used 1 cup per person for porridge. Definitely going to start soaking the pinhead oats over night though, I don't know why I never thought of that

[blackhawk]

Bravo! Everything should be stirred clockwise!! I always do.

[GummyBearRecords]
