Oven-Cooked Porridge

For those heading to work or wanting to spend the morning on other activities, you can cook the porridge in the oven! Bring the porridge to a boil on the stove first. Then set your oven to 80°C (175°F), place the pre-boiled porridge in the oven, and let it cook for 1½–2 hours. Before serving, you can add a little extra milk and stir the porridge as you reheat it.
