Get a bowl Pour in branflakes Pour in milk Put bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute Remove Eat... get indigestion.  Most mornings I have toast though... microwave branflakes just don't have the same appeal they used to.

branflakes? Bill Hicks was right, absolutely no imagination goes into naming these things.

^^Whoa! That sounds...crazy.
I dunno. Sounds like a good way to make homemade catfood...maybe one day when I actually buy branflakes instead of sugar-flaked sugarness like I usually buy.
I doubt it though.

I'm sorry James, but there is just something deeply, fundamentally wrong with hot cereals.... 
frankly, they aren't big and they aren't clever...

I've only ever met (apart from my father) one other person who's tried microwaves Branflakes and she was a lovely girl I met at University.  Oh it has to be Branflakes, not Crunchy Nut Branflakes or Cornflakes (the milk and cornflakes seem to get too hot and burn the mouth).

Would you consider porridge a cereal?

I agree. Unless it's oatmeal, or otherwise "cereal" that was MEANT to be hot...
that hot branflakes stuff just sounds...I dunno...like I said, a purely cheap way to prepare food for an indulgent cat...
Not something I'd try under normal circumstances.

too right...you see, in the UK, we like to KNOW exactly what the box contains...ie BRAN FLAKES...period.
in the US, you'd probably market them as 'sleezers' or something...

Everyone balks at microwaved Branflakes and I don't get it...  However, it only works with Branflakes... I've tried others and they just don't work. Also, you have to get the timing right, otherwise it becomes a congealed mess and sticks to the bowl. Edit: also, the level of milk is crucial as well... too little milk will make it a congealed mess as well Edit2: one crucial thing... you have to watch the bowl in the microwave so you know when to stop the microwave... it's crucial, 'cause of the milk bubbles over the top of the bowl, you've overdone it. You need to pull it out just as the milk is about to go over the edge of the bowl

no, porridge is more of an ordeal than a cereal....

When it's done right, it's delicious. When it's done wrong, it's horrible. That's why I tend to have toast now. Plus it uses a lot of milk... 'cause the milk has to be filled to 3/4 of the bowl.
