It is a sign that I am reading a large number of American blogs, and spending lots of time on Pinterest that I used oatmeal rather than porridge in the name of this post.

We are still getting to grips with and experimenting with our new sous vide machine; it is a slow burn love affair – akin to gently falling in love with a good friend rather than the thunderbolt of love at first sight – we need to get used to and get to know each other and understand our mutual quirks and foibles.

Also the sous vide needs to earn its space – in the Fuss Free kitchen counter space is prime real estate and the machine is competing with the kettle, toaster, coffee grinder, Vitamix and stand mixer.

The latest sous vide hit is overnight oatmeal or porridge; creamy, sweet and cooked to perfection and topped with plump soft raisins. I am fussy about my porridge – it needs to be just right – fairly runny but not too milky and with a good flavour of oats and grains. I gobbled up the jar tout suite this morning – usually I start a bowl then halfway through run out of both steam and interest and hand the remainder over to Ed to finish (I am fairly sure he serves himself less as he knows what will happen).

This not only gets bonus points for needing no prep in the morning – open the sous vide, grab the jar and you are ready to go, but it is also cooked in a reusable jam jar; the use of some single use plastic pouches with the sous vide is unavoidable, but I’d rather use a glass jar as often as possible.

I like to mix my grains up – and our porridge base usually contains a mix of pinhead oatmeal, jumbo rolled oats, rye, barley and wheat flakes. This batch used equal quantities of rolled oats, pinhead oatmeal and a little bit of barley.

Of course you can also make this in your crockpot or slow cooker – I set mine to low.
