Why is he just boiling pots of water on the stove? Shouldn't there be some kind of food in the water? It looks like it's already boiling, what is he waiting for?
I hope he posts the video of the phone tipping over and going into the boiling water
Lots of things need to go into already boiling water to cook properly. Pasta for one. Depending on the rice and the texture you're going for, that can be better cooked by adding it to already boiling water. This is the same thing as preheating your frying pan or oven.
Why would he need to film it then? Water by itself doesn't boil over.
He watched TV. It's easy to miss the time while doing something engaging, by a lot, up to tens of minutes. So he dropped a facetime window over his TV screen, I guess? Or onto another phone he has at hand?
I think that he did that post because it's silly and didn't put more effort than it needs.
This is the real question.
Maybe he is purifying water because of a water main leak. Did you ever consider that?
Not really. I feel like if he couldn't stand in the kitchen for 5 minutes for water to boil then he'd probably go stay at a hotel if there was an actual water main leak
15 minutes. You’re supposed to boil the water for 15 minutes during a boil water advisory
You wouldn’t last a day dude.
You're right, the guy video conferencing with a pot of water while he sits on the other side of the house watching cartoons is clearly a survivalist of the highest order. I'm sure he'll outlive us all
And he’ll be comfortable as fuck doing so
If he has to go to this much trouble to boil one small pot of water then I doubt he'll be that comfortable.
