Mind you I'm a half philistine myself, I use 50:50 water and milk, oh and salt

Make it with stout?
I'm really confused by this thing - an induction double boiler.
To explain - you'd normally use a double boiler to heat gently and evenly. The reason for using one is because gas stoves burn at 140C+ and can heat quite unevenly. In the case of porridge I can see you could end up burning the milk or starches.
But why would you need an induction one? Any half decent induction stove should be capable of very gentle heat, and they will heat quite evenly too. Using a double boiler on induction is like having a horse pull your car.

I have a gas hob , I reckon that the pot works on all options of heat rather than exclusively induction
That's what I mean - you'd specifically use it for gas, and it shouldn't be required on induction.
Putting aside kitchen equipment boondoggles - heating oats on a hob is certainly superior to microwaving, and it's not that much slower. I find the stirring while heating quite meditative.

(Like pressure brewing but in a microwave)
Set up night before 1cup jumbo oats 1 water. Cook- on medium (900W (or it'll go everywhere)) Add chopped apple, plums and dried apricots.
Add nutmeg, ground ginger, sweet cinnamon.
Once cooked add strawberries blueberries and Freeze dried dried cranberries.
Put back in microwave for final blast. Add cold milk
Enjoy

I tried the water and Bovril version last night, curiosity got the better of me, not remotely impressed. I wouldn't go as far as to call it disgusting but it wasn't pleasant.
I think I'll just stick to the tried and tested 'overnight oats' with milk and honey.

I think savoury porridge does need a taste bud reset. Chicken Stock porridge works.

Tie me to a tree and call me Brenda.. Nutella and peanut butter porridge is a thing of beauty. Looks like baby sick to be fair but OMG the taste is fab-u-lous.
