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.
