Milk should be poured before the cereal. I've always done this because pouring milk on top of the cereal gets the top wet and also kind of pushes the cereal down. I love crunchy cereal

As someone who pours the milk second: I have crunchy top cereal all the time, I think you might be doing something weird homie

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Milk first makes it possible to get the wrong ratio of cereal to milk because

  1. the cereal floats and you have no idea how much you put in there
  2. You can underestimate how much volume the cereal takes up and not leave enough room in your bowl

I need the cereal wet. I don't like dry cereal, it is too hard on my mouth and gums up my mouth.

I put the cream/milk in before I pour the coffee though. This guarantees there is always room for the right amount of milk and it mixes automatically without needing a stirrer.

When I go for a bowl of cereal, I pour out as much cereal as I want, then add the appropriate amount of milk. I would NEVER pour myself a hearty bowl of milk and then just cereal to taste. That's the part that feels craziest to me.

You put milk on cereal??

What about hot water?

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hot water? Now that's cereal killer territory right there

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whoa hold on, hold on. There's an advocate out there somewhere for putting orange juice on cereal. Hot water seems mild with that in the world

Orange juice?!!?

Ok I haven't tried it, so I can't knock it. What's next, coke cola?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That’s why I eat my cereal dry.

[–] poprocks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

This is my take as well. My spouse thinks I'm crazy.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago
