What is the correct cereal/milk ratio? - Lemmy.World

Just enough so that, by the time I finish the cereal, there’s only a little milk left.
That depends on whether the cereal has the Crunch Enhancer, a non-nutritive cereal varnish. It’s semi-permeable, non-osmotic. It coats and seals the cereal, keeps it crunchy.

Pour cereal. Pour milk. As soon as boyancy causes the cereal to rise, stop pouring the milk.

Perfect every time. 👌

Accurate. Can confirm.

This is my way of doing it too, but at the end always a lot of milk remains in the bowl and I have to refill it with cereal multiple times.

If I add less milk in the first place, then for the major part of the cereal it’ll feel like I haven’t added any milk at all. Weird stuff.

Just drink the milk. It takes on a lot of the cereal flavor especially if it’s a sweeter cereal and it’s good.
I used to do this, until i puked on one of my elementary school teachers.
skill issue ngl, just don’t puke
Sometimes I just eat the cereal without milk
Fill the bowl with cereal nearly to the brim, then add milk until the cereal is at risk of spilling out.
The correct ratio is the ratio you want.
Assuming enough of both, i still randomly pick between under, over, and evenly milked.
  • Use a square bowl placed on top of a circular plate.
  • Add 11 parts water, then 2 parts cereal, using a mix of ancient Babylonian and traditional Japanese volumetric units (bonus points if you don’t actually convert them).
  • Heat in the oven at 709 °R for exactly 73037 ms.
  • Once heated, let it cool to exactly room temperature by placing it outside (regardless of the weather).
  • Add a generous layer of cold ketchup on top, forming a smiley face.
  • Optional: Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve with a side of existential dread. Bon appétit!

    Thanks, Google AI Result.
    I just fill the bowl with a lot of milk then take the box of cereal with me, and keep refilling until either I’m full or the milk’s all gone.
    My dude, you are eating way too much cereal. A box must be 2 servings max for you
    I eat cereal like twice a year, if that. But yeah, when I do, one box tends to last me two meals. I don’t really eat breakfast - when I have cereal it’s because I’m craving it, and it’s liable to replace my dinner at that point.

    No milk in anything for 4+ years now.

    Half a handful of:

    • fortified whatever-brand O’s
    • peanuts
    • fruit and nut trail mix
    • top off with granola
    • prefect amount of water to end with a dry bowl but only barely

    I thought my stomach issues were just a human thing. I always drank a bunch of milk. My chronic back issues from disability make me very sensitive to additional inflammation. So I tried eliminating milk one time for a few weeks to see how it affected me. It was night and day. I felt so much better that I never went back.

    I don’t have cereal often when I did, its making sure the cereal is flat and even (as opposed to being piled up in the middle of the bowl like a mountain made of cereal), then pour the milk so that the milk, almosts reach the line where the height of the cereal was, and most of the cereal is submerged. I wait for my cereal to get just slightly soggy, then start eating.

    (I don’t observe other people eating cereal btw, and IDC about what the cereal eating “norms” there are 🤷‍♂️)

    Input milk until bowl is halfway full, or over third full, depending on the size of the bowl.

    Input cereal until bowl is full of cereal but cereal is still floating.

    1 cup cereal, 1tsp powdered milk, 1/2 cup faucet water. Make sure the water is warm so that the powdered milk mixes better.
    Why powdered milk?
    Never consume warm tap water
    Why not?
    Depending on the tubing in your house it can leak BPA into your water. BPA is carcinogenic
    And, depending where you live, heavy metals.
    The solder used to seal many older water lines in houses, and even some lines in modern water heaters, contains lead, which can be released in smaller quantities through the heated water
    Cereal is junk food and a waste of milk.
    I actually prefer to eat cereal without milk
    I eat it with black coffee. Efficiency!
    I think a good 80:20 to 90:10 cereal to milk. Just eyeballing it though.
    You’re eating too much cereal my friend. Try using an 8:2 ratio for a few days and see if you feel better.

    This guy coming over here not knowing what a zero is and trying to dunk on me. What a sad little guy.

    You might want to eat some more cereal and get that brain working, friend.

    You mean cereal/water ratio, right?
    OJ. Need the vitamin C
    Put cereal in bowl, add milk until cereal is almost completely covered. Let sit for a minute to let cereal soak up some milk. This is for mini wheats mixed with another cereal. Mini wheats need a little soaking.
    By volume, usually I stop pouring milk when it covers approximately 4/5 of the cereal. That makes it so when I put my spoon in it, the cereal at the very top will also absorb some milk.
    I don’t know but for me having the ratio hit at the end of my meal could take just a bowl or a whole box. But I ain’t stoppin’ until the cereal and the milk are gone at the same time.
    this is a very personal decision. its like how much milk or sugar to put into cofee or tea.

    100:0

    Straight cereal. Milk is for putting chocolate in.

    How does it feel to be so wrong?
    Dude’s name is BluuTato. I’m guessing it feels kinda numb.

    0:100

    Skip the cereal, just chug the milk from the carton

    As soon as the cereal starts to float, I stop pouring milk.
    Add milk until it becomes visible.
    2 boxes cereal per gallon of milk
    If you can’t see the milk, too little. If the bowl can possibly overflow while you’re eating, too much. Can’t give an exact ratio, but that’s the line I live on.
