Pour a bowl of milk and put the jug back in the fridge so it’s not sitting out. Then add cereal once you get set up in front of the TV or whatever else you’re trying to do while you’re eating.
I’d laugh, but I can’t since this is more nuanced than it seems at first glance.
Pros of cereal first:
Accurately gauge the amount of cerial
Controlling quantity of milk pouring is very easy.
Pros of milk first:
There’s always enough milk to soak the cerial at the time of pouring cerial.
This post however misses the true way to maximise crunchyness which is to have a pool of milk and pour only smaller quantities of cerial and immediately eat them.
So to conclude, this post misses the mark on many accounts because of oversimplification of the subject and reactions should be moderated accordingly.
However, it is very representative of having the ocean as the pool of liquid and dropping the dry in it. Therefore I believe this is worthy of my upvote and stamp of approval.
My boyfriend bought his kids special cereal bowls that have a divider in the middle. Cereal on one side, milk on the other. Spoon the dry cereal, dip into the milk side.
My old ass feels like either that’s too much trouble, or maybe I just don’t appreciate cereal that much lol .
Most people that put milk first actually warm up the milk in the microwave rather than put it on the stove or something like that. I personally do it because it saves on dishes
As for me, I have another reason. When you run out of cereals, do you put more in another bowl, then transfer the milk in? Obviously not, you just add it on top of the milk, which is the same thing as putting milk first Also, putting hot milk on the cereals sometimes makes them all soggy and I rather have them stay crips
I really don’t see how this debate is so heated over which step to start the cycle of cereals eating lol.
YOU DON’T EAT CEREAL WITH WARM MILK!? That’s genuinely the first time I hear that people eat cereal with cold milk. I tried it once, and it felt soulless.
I have never in my life met anyone who put hot milk on breakfast cereal lol are you maybe talking about like porridge or cream of wheat? Those are technically kinds of cereal
No just some regular cereal like corn flakes or wheat based cereals. And technically I don’t put milk on cereal, I put cereal on milk or else they get soggy.
And I hope it’s not fridge cold milk, because this seems even worse. All the warmth of a good old breakfast replaced by just cold milk is just so weird
For information, I am french so this might be why we have such a rift in cereal eating culture. And no, I’m not trolling. I’m genuinely doing this when I’m eating cereal. But now I’m wondering, why not warm milk? Is it just because no one tries or just that warming it up worsens the taste?
I’ve always eaten cold milk (yes fridge cold, the colder the better) with cereal. If I’m in the mood for a hot breakfast I generally just make something else like toast or oatmeal or eggs and bacon. I realize that you’re not trolling, this is just genuinely blowing my mind lol
I was converted to milk first by a kid i was watching. It’s better for keeping your cereal harder for longer. If you’re a fan of mushy cereal then go milk second so everything gets wet. But if you’re a fan of the last bite still being crispy then milk first is the way.
Sometimes I do just grab a cup and eat my cereal dry. Then I dont Even have to use both hands while on the move, just pour it in my mouth single handed.
if it makes them think they already put more cereal than they atually did, it’s completely fine to do. also you wont have to clean up a cup afterwards.
and whats the difference between putting milk before or after anyways? i dont like cereal so im really curious as to why people care
