As soon as the cereal starts to float, I stop pouring milk.

Straight cereal. Milk is for putting chocolate in.

[-] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

How does it feel to be so wrong?

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

2/3 cereal, 1/3 milk

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 1 points 8 hours ago

this is a very personal decision. its like how much milk or sugar to put into cofee or tea.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

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.

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

Perfect every time. 👌

[-] helmet91@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago

Just drink the milk. It takes on a lot of the cereal flavor especially if it's a sweeter cereal and it's good.

[-] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I used to do this, until i puked on one of my elementary school teachers.

  1. Use a square bowl placed on top of a circular plate.
  2. 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).
  3. Heat in the oven at 709 °R for exactly 73,037 ms. (Is that a decimal or thousand separator? Ask your local mathematics teacher.)
  4. Once heated, let it cool to exactly room temperature by placing it outside (regardless of the weather).
  5. 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.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 23 hours ago

So... basically 1 ketchup covered Ferrero Rocher? Hmmmm

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 5 points 19 hours ago

You mean cereal/water ratio, right?

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

I actually prefer to eat cereal without milk

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 16 hours ago
[-] Donebrach@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

I think a good 80:20 to 90:10 cereal to milk. Just eyeballing it though.

[-] Citrus_Cartographer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Just enough so that, by the time I finish the cereal, there's only a little milk left.

Edit: The way I do it is to have a layer of granola on the bottom, then a layer of whatever floaty cereal on top. When I fill it with milk, it's a little bit below the top layer so that it's just a little less than what would make it float. That usually gives me the perfect ratio.

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Cereal is junk food and a waste of milk.

[-] astrsk@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

Just add milk until the entire pile of cereal starts to lift. Usually when the milk reaches the base level of the cereal itself.

[-] UnforgivenH4X@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

1 cup cereal, 1tsp powdered milk, 1/2 cup faucet water. Make sure the water is warm so that the powdered milk mixes better.

[-] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 21 hours ago

Never consume warm tap water

[-] jxk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago
[-] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 19 hours ago

Depending on the tubing in your house it can leak BPA into your water. BPA is carcinogenic

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

And, depending where you live, heavy metals.

[-] asudox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 22 hours ago

Why powdered milk?

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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.

[-] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I don't have cereal often, but 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 at the same time some cereal starts to float, 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 🤷‍♂️)

[-] Sasha 3 points 1 day ago

Sometimes I just eat the cereal without milk

[-] Interstellar_1 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

My dude, you are eating way too much cereal. A box must be 2 servings max for you

[-] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Assuming enough of both, i still randomly pick between under, over, and evenly milked.

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Fill the bowl with cereal nearly to the brim, then add milk until the cereal is at risk of spilling out.

[-] sturlabragason@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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.
