How do I boil water in the proper way, /ck/?

[Anonymous No.9815984]

A lot of people forget to use a lid. Cuts boiling time significantly. Especially if they lid is heavy,

Use the microwave, I don't trust you with a stove

Don't have a lid. Can I use a steel plate as the lid?

>>9815985
Don't have a microwave.

>>9815988
>>Put water in it
An exact measure would be nice.
>>Wait a while
Again. How much is a while?

Okay you're serious so i won't be cheeky again... so long as it covers it all up you're good. If you're making pasta or something else with noodles i'd recommend throwing in a tablespoon or so of salt into the water while boiling.

[Anonymous No.9816041]

>>9816015
No, I just want to drink some hot water. A tablespoon, is that just the normal spoon you'd eat with? Should I throw in the salt after some specific time or from the get go?

>>9816003
this has to be bait but I'm bored so whatever.

if you just want to drink some hot water, then put in the amount of water you want to drink plus 1/2 cup to account for evaporation.
>How much is a while?
til there are big bubbles rising to the top and the whole surface of it is churning. that is a full rolling boil.

once it is at a full rolling boil, take it off the burner and dump it directly into your open mouth. swallow.

How much is that? I have cups of varying sizes. Which one should I use?

[Anonymous No.9816126]

>>9816076
Fuck, it's going to take like 20 pounds of salt to clean all of that up.

Bruh, are you trolling or do you actually have 0 idea how to cook anything?

Just put water in a pot or sauce pan, put it over a burner and wait until it starts bubbling like here >>9816064

>>9816095
They're talking about measuring cups. See pic I uploaded. If you happen to have a scale, a 1/2 cup of water is 4 oz.

[A Cool Guy Online Named Dean :(...) No.9816156]

just do what i do and drink hot bath water

[Anonymous No.9816171]

>>9816153
Actually, just thought of it, pic related is for measuring liquids. Not the measuring cups I posted before.

[Anonymous No.9816179]

>>9816153
>sauce pan
You mean like a frying pan? I can boil the water in that?

>>9816171
>>9816153
Don't really have either of those, what can I use as a substitute?

[Anonymous No.9816184]

Pour it in your asshole and force it up through your digestive system into your mouth

it should be pretty hot by then

[Anonymous No.9816195]

Protip: just one ml of cum can lower water's boiling point by 5 degrees,saving you a good bit on electricity or gas

[Anonymous No.9816265]

>>9816184
And how does one do that exactly?

[Anonymous No.9816295]

>>9816265
Step 1: insert hose into anus
Step 2: turn hose on
Step 3: vomit hot water

>You mean like a frying pan? I can boil the water in that?
I don't recommend that. It's too easy to spill. A sauce pan is like the pic I uploaded.

>>9816179

Nigga! Do you live in a crack house or something?? Get your ass off to the store and get a set of measuring cups and spoons lol
In the mean time, the average soda bottle is 1 or 2 liters (says on the label). A cup of water is just under 0.25 liters (more like 230-something). Find a 1 liter bottle and fill it so it's just under 1/4 full of water. It won't be super accurate but should be close enough for what ever you're trying to do. If you only have 2 liter bottles, fill it 1/4 full, transfer it to a cup and dump 1/2 out of the cup.

OP if you want to boil water the best way is to use an electric kettle. Ideally one of those cheap plastic ones with the open metal coils, they look like shit but work faster than the nicer ones with the smooth metal insides because there is less unnecessary metal to heat up.

[Anonymous No.9816314]

>>9815968

[Anonymous No.9816316]

make sure you don't look at it or else it won't come to a boil

[Anonymous No.9816322]

>>9816041
>Should I throw in the salt after some specific time or from the get go?
Salt should only be added when the water is already boiling. Otherwise it will lay on the bottom of the pot and may cause the metal to wear there over time, from bubble cavitation.

>>9816296
Oh a curry pot I have one of those. So the only bottle I have is an old Sprite one but the label's torn off. The bigger forearm length ones are 2 litre ones right?
>Get your ass off to the store and get a set of measuring cups and spoons lol
Would fall useless since I don't really cook all that often, plus I'm broke right now.

>>9816313
>>9816314
Had one of these but it broke recently and can't afford to replace it.

>>9816322
Right, got it. So just add in the salt after the bubbles form?

[Anonymous No.9816390]

>>9816348
>a curry pot
I'm not sure what that is. Google images show mostly clay or ceramic serving dishes, which most don't look like they're meant for boiling water or cooking anything in them. Maybe baking would be OK.

>The bigger forearm length ones are 2 litre ones right?
Right, unless they have different sizes in your country, or you're a midget

>Would fall useless since I don't really cook all that often, plus I'm broke right now.
They're not very expensive. You can get a cheap plastic one for like $2. Also, if you cook at home more often, you'd save a lot of money--enough to pay for a set of measuring spoon, at least lol

[Anonymous No.9816420]

>>9816390
Okay, got it thanks.

[Anonymous No.9816431]

>>9816348

Ideally after it has come to a rolling boil.

[Anonymous No.9816450]

>>9816431
Ok, so the bubbles are, I think, "rolling" and I've put the salt in now. How many minutes should I wait til its done?

Looks kind of over cooked but that's okay, just add some more cold water to it to even it out.

Americans only have 110 volts in there power points, boiling water is impossible in USA unless you live at high altitude.
