I appreciate that the panels aren't copy pasted

You totally missed the chance to say "aren't copy pasta-ed" :)

You cut out the parts where I wash my hands each time I pull it out

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Plus that last time I pull it out, box stays on counter for 3 days.

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 21 points 5 months ago

Do some people actually throw away the box before you finish cooking? For me the box stays on the counter until I'm cleaning up after eating

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 5 months ago

Yep. The first time because "Hey, I read it. I'm good!" The second time because "Hey, I just needed to check up on something." The fifth time because "Goddammit what is wrong with me, I have 100% processed the information this time." The tenth time because I have given up on all hope of anything edible

To me throwing away the box falls into the cleaning up phase, which i have to do when I'm done eating anyway

Stop bragging 😂

[-] dmention7@midwest.social 11 points 5 months ago

I do. I mean, its not like I'm going to fuck up "add 2 cups of water, boil for 5 minutes, drain, add seasoning packet" right?

Wait, shit, was it "boil for 2 minutes"? OK cool, 5 minutes.

Boil 5 minutes then...... add milk? Oh, no milk.... cool

I recycle the box, but otherwise, yeah. I have way more faith in my ability to remember the instructions than the evidence would suggest.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I have learned, but yes I've definitely done this. Probably at least once last month. And regardless, I'm still looking at it 15 times for 4 steps of instructions. And I like to cook actual recipes sometimes too.

In fact, I think this is the most I've related to something posted here.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

For me, this happens with the freezer rather than trash/recycling. Take food out, put box back in freezer, realize I forgot temp, grab box, etc

[-] Shortstack@reddthat.com 17 points 5 months ago

Protip: don't rely solely on the timer. Pull a noodle out to sample a little bit early to find the right texture, if you do it that way you get perfect al dente every time.

[-] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 13 points 5 months ago

I wouldn't be able to use a timer for an accurate cooking anyway due to being 2000m above sea level.

You can certainly feel it when walking up four flights of stairs.

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 8 points 5 months ago

I wonder if there's a rule-of-thumb you can follow to get the right adjustment of cooking times

EDIT

I found this, note that the chart is in feet not meters

I'm at 5000ft elevation. I feel your pain.

I take a picture of the instructions.

Bloody hall. Was already starting to think I’m not just ASD.

[-] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

I don't trust people who cook pasta solely based on a timer. You need to just try one ever now and then. Using only a timer its always under or overcooked
