Power Spurtle
Partly inspired by [pashute]'s idea for better chocolate milk, and my own desire for better oatmeal / porridge without lumps... | |
A common spurtil* often has a rod-like shape so porridge can be stirred without congealing and forming lumps. The low surface area reduces the chances of porridge sticking to the instrument.
The Power Spurtle has a series of small holes near the tip, which are fed by a central tube inside the device,
connected to a pressurized supply of boiling water. To make perfect porridge, you first put DRY oatmeal into the pot (or directly into a serving bowl, if making only one portion). Then you push the spurtel* into the dry oats and turn on the hot water supply and start stirring. When the volume of oats & water nears the top of the mixing container, turn the pressure down so that no more water is added - but maintaining a minimum internal pressure to prevent porridge backflow into the spirtle*.
Please DO be careful to turn the water on at a reasonable pressure only AFTER the tip of the spartle* is in the oats - and turn it OFF when withdrawing. Manufacturer will not be responsible for injuries or other messes cause by waving around a rod spurting hot gooey liquids.

Could use superheated steam for making a porridgchino. |

Is there an advantage to this model over existing in-faucet heaters? |
|

[norm] I cannot answer your question until I have taken a bowl of dry oats into the shower and sprayed the water into the bowl. |
|
|
<later> the shower jets are too powerful, they splatter the dried oats out of the bowl, and spray them all around the shower cubicle, so I end up with an empty clean bowl, with both myself and the walls all covered with bits of congealing semi-cooked porridge. So I can answer fairly confidently that a specially designed device as proposed is far superior to just using the shower. |

Safer, apparently, than the industrial paint stirring paddle as it doesn't require the cook to put the porridge pot on the floor. Plus the steam thing. |
