This is how Jonathan boy’s porridge are cooked.<\/p>\n

I have the Magic Saver Cooker (MSC)\u00a0from Cosway and a ceramic pot. The MSC comes with a inner stainless steel pot (to cook the food) and insulation pot (to warm the food). \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jonathan boy is having two feedings of porridge each day so I just have to prepare once and it can last till evening (still warm) using the MSC.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/span> To come out with two feedings of porridge, I\u00a0put in\u00a03 milk powder scoops of rice\u00a0with 3 x 4oz of water in the ceramic pot.\u00a0 I’m giving him unpolished brown rice as the content of nutrients is better than polished rice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/span> I’ll make sure I always have at least two types of vegetables of different colour. My favourite mix is pumpkin and broccoli because pumpkin gives the sweetness and broccoli\u00a0gives him the\u00a0vitamin C and folic acid and the easiest to prepare. I just need\u00a02 – 3\u00a0florets of broccoli without having to chop finely. As for pumpkin, I’ll grate it otherwise I can cut into cubes. Just put the florets of broccoli and grated pumpkin into the ceramic pot. Sometimes, I’ll add 2 cubes of chicken meat, fish, pork or scallops.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/span> Put\u00a0the ceramic pot\u00a0into the\u00a0inner pot of the MSC and fill\u00a0the inner pot\u00a0with water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is called the double-boil method. Bring it\u00a0to boil then simmer on low fire for 45 mins.\u00a0 With the lid still covering the inner pot, transfer it to the insulation pot. Do not open\u00a0the insulation pot\u00a0until feeding time so that the porridge can continue to cook on its own till soft.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So here’s the outcome and greatness of the MSC.<\/p>\n

I prefer to cook this way compared to slow cooker as this is faster and energy saving. Each morning, I just need 5 – 10 minutes to prepare the porridge ingredients. Then leave it to simmer while I bath and change to get ready for work. Before I leave for work, I just turn off the fire and transfer the inner pot to the MSC. It’s so easy and hassle free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
