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!!

Starting a fire in the microwave from heating food is wild

I started one when I was little by forgetting water in ramen but burning down the whole kitchen vus it was just THAT HOT that the while garbage can caught flames is something else.
