Dio9sys on Nostr: The tiny single serving bowls of microwave macaroni and cheese say to microwave them ...

The tiny single serving bowls of microwave macaroni and cheese say to microwave them on high for 3.5 minutes.

Now, as anyone who has worked at a call center and needed the mac and cheese to get through a shift may know, following the directions as written is how you end up spending more time cleaning the microwave than eating macaroni, as that amount of time on that power level will always, 100% of the time, result in it splashing all the water out all over the microwave.

I have the little bowls in my home right now. For reasons. I am currently conducting experiments in what time and what power level you can get away with to cook the macaroni while minimizing splash.

So far, I have taken it as far down as 3 minutes on half power, but it still splashes out a bit. I am currently experimenting with 3 minutes on 40% power. After that I may experiment with 2:30 on half power, as I notice around the 2:30 mark is when the water gets uncomfortably close to the edge of the bowl.

I will conduct this science, and publish my research. In this way, I am contributing to the good of society.
