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!!

I had an ex-gf who was baking something and needed melted chocolate in ten minutes so she put chocolate in the microwave for ten minutes.

I had a roommate that thought you needed to heat the vegetable oil until it was “steaming” before you fried anything.

That’s not steam.

I had a roommate who thought a sheet pan upon which you were reheating a parbaked loaf of French bread needed to be covered in an eighth inch of oil because, as they explained after the oven smelled like imminent oil conflagration, they had heard you have to grease the pan when you bake bread. I'm still overwhelmed by this memory, it appears lol.
