    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 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.

      Melissa, Using a Spurtle gives a much more softer texture than using a wooden spoon or a flat Spatula as the round stick does not bruise the oats. You can get some 5/8 inch wooden dowel and just cut it to about 10 inches long and round off the ends easily. This will cost you less than a dollar and it will last for years.

      @@nakkadu I know that it sounds strange but using the round stick means that as I stir the oats then it does not beat off the soft coating from the very fresh oats and this does maintain the thick creamy coating. One must stir slowly and it really does give a far better taste. I have tried it with friends and we got 3 pots of oats and I used the Spurtle and 2 friends used either a flat spatula or a wooden spoon. We then did a blind test where we could not tell which was which until we tried all 3 bowls then the referee confirmed the results. The Spurtle oats were by far the best. Yes I know that it sounds strange but it really works especially with very fresh oats.

    You said that only 3 ingredients were needed, water, salt & oatmeal but towards the end you mentioned milk which makes 4 ingredients. For some reason you didn't say how much milk but then you didn't use it anyway. I understand why the porridge should be hot but why does the milk need to be cold. Adding cold milk to hot porridge results in fairly hot milk anyway.
