I have a coworker....

    Geeks are like teabags... you can't tell how strong they are until they're in hot water. 🙂

    That's a nice one.

    I've got one too:

    Why don't geeks/nerds go to the North Pole?

    They get clubbed to death for their fragile white skin.

  • I think it's the right place to throw my question once again... 'Why 2 Cents'... (I will start a new thread soon...)

    It used to be "penny for your thoughts", but what with inflation and all ....

    That will only work if she keeps the lit on the pot, so that pressure rises within the pot.

    I don't think you can increase the pressure enough with standard cookware to increase the temperature much, if at all. There has to be a significant pressure increase before the water will require a higher temperature to boil. In the case of a boiling pot of water it doesn't actually matter how much heat you apply underneath. The boiling point will remain at 212 degrees. It is under pressure when the boiling point increases.

    There is cookware available that can do that. My parents had such a pot, but it usually comes with a rubber around the lit and everything, so that air can't escape.

    ps: that's odd, water boils at 100 degrees here :hehe:

    And it boils at 373.15 degrees where I live. But only when Kelvin's home.

    My grandmother had a Kelvinator brand freezer. I was really disappointed to find out it didn't cool things to absolute zero.

  • Back to the microwave thing...sometimes coworkers will "pause" before the timer runs out, remove their food & walk away, leaving "00:21" or something on the display. I feel compelled to press "clear" so the display returns to showing the time...

    The fan on ours continues to operate after its stopped, so it randomly gets turned off at the wall socket - as thats the only way to shut it up, probably because co-workers think its still on. Hence the time display is either off, not set (flashing) or wrong most of the time.

    Oddly the fan doesn't continue if you just open the door halfway through cooking.

    Also - so much for the microwave screening on these devices. Put your mobile phone in it and call it up - I've never failed to make it ring.

    I've never tried operating the microwave at the same time though. :w00t:
