I didn't want to irritate any Italians by breaking spaghetti, so I purchased a device that lets you easily cook full-length spaghetti in the microwave.

è tempo di purificazione!

I'm not gonna say that you need to be purified (you need to, tho), but hey... at least you are not setting your kitchen in fire because you decided to boil your pasta WITHOUT FUCKING WATER!

Oh dude I had a roommate who did not cook. He took one my good pans and made spaghettios in it. Then left the pan on low for six hours. I told him to eat it or throw it away, he said it was okay. I told him if he boiled off all the liquid and burned it, he was not getting another chance to clean it poorly. he was buying me a new pan, and I was choosing an expensive one. Guess who got a new pan.

@AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor @logicbomb I was just thinking "Again?", but then I realized it was from 2018

How?Not even one person, but three have never seen anyone prepare either pasta or noodles till their 20's?? And even if not, It's pretty obvious... These ~~kids~~ adults don't deserve to be exchange students. Better give that spot to someone else

You should really stop microwaveing plastic.

It turns your testicles into tits. And vise versa.

Brb, putting as much plastic as I can find in my microwave.

The best part would be being able to go back and forth at will!

My mom got me that a few years back as a semi-gag gift. I use it constantly. It's way too easy.

My mother suggested getting frozen spaghetti meals. I was like, "Why? Spaghetti is already the easiest dish to make..."

We do break our spaghetti. We don't have a pot large enough for the whole ones, and our stove is so hot it burns the parts of the noodles that are sticking out of the smaller pot. (Viking Range with 1,000,000 btu burners.)

We don't make spaghetti very often anyway. Usually we make ravioli when it's pasta night.
