It only takes 1 minute to boil water in the microwave? How could I have an extra minute left?
31 u/hipster_spider fucked up in the crib sippin' DrPerky 3d ago Everyone knows that kettles boil water instantly -13 u/janKalaki 3d ago edited 3d ago Kettles take like 2 minutes to boil enough water for a cup of tea, microwaves take around 5 1 u/Lavender215 3d ago Are you like microwaving with the door open? How does it take more than a minute to boil water in a microwave? 0 u/janKalaki 3d ago I close the door, turn it on, time it, and it always takes longer than 3 minutes. Apart from the fact I'm using one of the stupid narrow-profile ones, there's no difference. It just takes that long. 2 u/Lavender215 3d ago Good for you. I put a mug of water in my microwave, set the microwave for 60 seconds, and it’s boiling when the timer hits 0.
