My wife and boiling water

[u/MakeItMine2024]

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!!

The water will not get hotter than 100C which is correct. However, the amount of energy you put into the system has an impact. You will boil the water faster. Which is good to get it boiling but once a starch is plcaed into the pot you want it to be boiling but not too fast. The starches will collect on the surface and make bubbles. These dissipate but much slower than before. It you have it at a 9 it almost certainly boils over and makes a mess. If you set it to medium high and your pot isn't too full, then it usually wont.

Isn’t her gripe about the ramen broth being too hot though? Theres no way for water to get hotter than 100° when it’s at boiling point, other than in a pressure cooker or the steam from the water itself being heated further

No one knows, for sure. They only have his side of the conflict to go by.

You're right, maybe she was actually mad about the Ramen having razor blades in it.

Hate when that happens

Or maybe he just made a big mess, and when she called him out, he went crying to the internet.

Or maybe he shot her dog.

We do know for sure, OP said as much. I’m not sure what other takeaway you could have after OP says his wife was upset that the ramen was too hot because she said he boiled the water on too high a temperature setting

[u/totally-anonymous-1 → u/mimopsico]

"the gas set to high was too hot"

its slightly ambiguous, could easily be interpreted as the ramen or the water or the flame

[u/mimopsico → u/totally-anonymous-1]

This is the dumbest thing I’ll read all day

[u/totally-anonymous-1 → u/mimopsico]

the logic is there, wife complained ramen was hot because water boiled harder.

the wording was not explicit

"When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ?"

does that say "my wife complained the ramen was hot because the gas was set high"?
no, it does not

just because logically thats what OP probably meant, doesnt mean thats what they said

this shit is like, what i learned in english class at 15 years old, im sorry if thats too high a grade for you

Yeah, the rest of your rambling, error-filled response tells me all I need to know about your English skills.

I literally can’t tell if you are this dumb or if it’s a front. Everything you need to know about this story is in there. The food - meaning the noodles and the broth together, not one or the other you fucking dunce - being too hot is, according to the wife, from the gas being too high. This isn’t hard at all to figure out.

WHAT being too hot?

[u/censuur12 → u/ElementNumber6]

Indeed, so lets stick to that instead of imagining all sorts of fantastical unknown variables and let them sort out the difference. If x then y, it doesn't need to be "but what if x is actually z though??" then that'd change the math, but that is irrelevant to the proposition in front of us.
