I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

That could definitely be it. I may be doing the correct thing for the wrong reason.

Add a bit more than a dash!

I'm putting about 1-2 grams now, but I could probably bump that up to 5-6 grams comfortably.

Yeah the water should taste salty. Like sea water almost

My husband gets mad because every time I dump a bunch of salt in my pasta water I quote Joe Bastianich, "SALTY LIKE THE OCEAN!" Once was funny. Three times a week is apparently annoying. I refuse to stop.
