    Why?

    Plastic is not gas permeable so, in the event that the bag becomes tight
    around a childs head, they cannot breathe.

    Now, if you are asking why we need to be warned against this, the USA is a society that likes to sue. Makers of the packaging will put the warnings
    on there so that parents cannot easily sue them in the event that they
    leave their children alone to play with the packing supplies.

    "PLASTIC bags can be dangerous.

    To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this bag away from babies and children."

    Why?

    so they don't get their head stuck in it or get it stuck in their mouth/throat and suffocate...

    eg: plastic can stick to skin... imagine a baby laying on the carpet and there's a plastic bag there... imagine the baby is learning to crawl... he makes his was over near the bag... not because it is a bag or has his
    interest but just because it is were he went... he lays his head down with his cheek on the bag... he decides to try moving again and ends up rolling over... the bag stuck to his cheek and now wraps over his head... he moves
    around trying to see this thing stuck to him... after several moves, he has rolled over once or twice and now the bag is wrapped completely around his head covering his mouth and nose... this is not a good thing...

    In English, our words are not gendered, so a word like "some" can refer
    to male, female, other, or all of these.

    I understand scientists have found a way to clone sheep, but AFAIK it still requires both a male & a female to produce other human beings. I suspect what Denis needs to know is that either may be referred to as a parent.... :-Q

    You could ask the folks in the COOKING echo, but I don't suppose they'd correct your grammar... [chuckle].

    IMHO a native speaker would be more likely to say "Can I replace the water with milk?" or "Can I substitute milk for the water?" here.

    Now, as to your question... I've never tried using quick-cooking oatmeal or preparing hot cereal in a microwave oven. But it seems to me that ground or rolled oats need to absorb a certain amount of liquid. You haven't specified the butterfat content of the milk in this case. If you prefer skim milk at 0-2% you may not get the same result someone else would at 3.25%. At any rate, I figure milk is probably less easily absorbed than water.

    I'd suggest you begin by substituting 10 ml of milk for the same amount of water, and if you like the result keep increasing the proportion of milk in similar increments until you find you don't like the result.... :-))

    Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in a message to All:

    ... Mass fraction of milk fat minimum 10,5%.

    So, what is this?


    Mass fraction of milk fat? The wording seems rather odd to me too, but I'd break it down into manageable bits as follows:

    mass = (in physics) a measurement of the quantity of matter. Mass
    is often regarded as more or less synonymous with weight, here on
    earth, but on other celestial bodies the gravitational forces are
    different & our accustomed measurements of weight are misleading.
    In domestic science what one needs to realize is that both food &
    drink can be measured either by volume or by weight. If you look
    at the nearest bottle of your favourite alcoholic beverage you'll
    probably see something like "percentage of alcohol by volume". I
    take it the percentage of milk fat in your example was calculated
    by weight... but I don't know whether or not this is usual.

    fraction = a numerical quantity which is not a whole number. This
    term may be confusing to people who are accustomed to thinking of
    fractions as e.g. 1/2, 2/3, or 3/4. But according to my CANADIAN
    OXFORD DICTIONARY the word is also applied to decimals like ".5".

    milk fat = butterfat, abbreviated to "BF" where I come from.

    10,5% = 10.5% in English-speaking countries. In continental Europe
    people often use commas where I'd use decimal points. That is how
    the French handle such things & apparently they're not alone. :-)

    Hi, Denis! Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

    What is butterfat


    Butterfat = milk fat, i.e. the type of fat which is present in milk and cream as well as in butter, yogurt, and cheese made from dairy products.

    For those who don't use such products for whatever reason(s), "non- dairy" whipped cream & cheese are available in this neck of the woods.... :-Q



    and can I change form it to another fat?


    For pan frying... AKA sauteeing, which has +/- the same meaning but sounds more elegant because it comes from French... you could use fat from the meat of animals such as ducks, cows, and pigs. You could use vegetable oil or vegetable shortening or margarine too. You may find, however, that you prefer one or two alternatives over the others depending on what you're cooking. :-)
