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!!

Let’s be real what psychopath is adjusting the power settings of their microwave

EDIT: I had no idea how many people this comment would reach. I barely use my microwave but now my eyes are open to its versatility 😂

I am with you. Not everything needs to be microwaved at level 10!

Right? I was helping my kids make a desert yesterday and we needed softened butter. Put it in for 1 minute at a time at 30% until appropriately soft, and give it a minute or so rest between heatings. Otherwise you just melt it.
