Today, my daughter tried to make pasta by putting a pot on the stove, pouring the noodles in without adding water, and turning on the stove. Then she asked me, "How come these aren’t getting soft like when you make them?" She’s 19. FML

Today, I put leftovers in the microwave, pressed two minutes, and walked away. I came back to discover I'd started the kitchen timer instead. I'd spent two minutes waiting for food that had never even started warming up. FML

Today, I had to explain very slowly to my mum why she cannot put metal cutlery in the microwave. She did it anyway. FML

Today, I left my daughter with a babysitter for the first time. When I came home, my microwave was ruined because they had attempted to heat cans of Play-Doh as a science experiment. FML

Isn't it a little obvious? 3 minutes!

there should be quite a few pauses in those 2 minutes right?

In your daughters defense they do tend to take a little longer than 2 minutes to cook properly lol

Geez give her a break an don't assume the worst in everyone! What if the microwave doesn't work that well and it actually takes 3 minutes to heat? Now it doesn't seem like such a dumb question after all. And it's a bit naiive to believe everything you see on a label too!

Also, if you have one of the economy 700 watt microwaves, it'd be much more than 2:00. 3:09 to be precise.

I have a very old microwave. it takes about twice as long to cook anything. I guess it's not a very stupid question after all.

I'd say her noodle is cooked enough

In her defense, it takes longer to cook 2 minute noodles in a microwave or on the stove - the 2 minutes refers to boiling/cooking time - you need to add on time to heat the water to boiling point ☺

See, it was a perfectly valid question.

Thank you for explaining this so I didn't have to! Also most cup type noodles say 2-3 minutes these days.

I've had someone ask me if it was Friday or Saturday...while we were watching Saturday Night Live.

2 minutes noodles doesn't necesserily mean exact two minutes. The time could vary based on the oven watts or how much water you want left in the noodle. Hope she was just confirming that.
