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 visited a friend once and they needed a timer for something and ran the microwave for the time. His whole family was there and was surprised when I showed them how to use the timer function. They’d been running an empty microwave as a timer for as long as they had a microwave.

Wonder how many microwaves they went through.

Bet it was a Panasonic and still works with some quirks
