    After soaking are you supposed to use the same water than you soaked them in to boil them? Basically does any goodness from the food go into the water is what I'm wondering

    I'm not sure but I would just like to mention for any diabetics reading this..you're not supposed to soak your porridge as it releases too much starch.

    My partner is diabetic and was told this by his diabetic nurse.
    I know this is off-topic but I really just wanted to mention it.

    Dont believe everything they tell you,when you soak your porridge or rice you do so to remove excess starch,so its a good thing,

    Having said that my wife has been a diabetic 40 yrs and was never told to soak or not soak,it just helps it cook better imho
