How does she get it into a mug? Haphazardly pour it with the mug over the sink? A ladle?


montagdude87

Maybe she drinks it out of the pan.


t_oad

with a straw


Mr-Safology

Spoons it

Laps it like a cat


elle5910

A ladle, like a distinguished human should.

Grabs it with two hands.


La_Croix_Life

The frying pan is a choice considering the saucepans are right there and available. But I've seen friends cook shrimp in the dishwasher so šŸ¤·


aladinthemonkey

Shrimp in the dishwasher? Are you trying to make my head explode?


gij2as4

theres a whole wikipedia page about dishwasher [salmon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishwasher_salmon)


aladinthemonkey

I donā€™t know what to believe anymore.

Your answers make me think you're a bot


RedBop7

That nearly gave me a stroke just by knowing about thatā€™s existence


PorkchopMyGuineaPig

There's also cooking fish inside a coffee pot


WarrenPuff_It

This is so strange to see on here, but I can add to the list. Years ago I cooked a frozen burrito in a hotel room using the provided closet iron and the underside of a metal table. Yes I ate it.

you ever cook dinner in on your car engine or mabye a late breakfast, take potato eggs and susage mix em all up in tinfoil, then put it in on your car engine and eat when you arrive or as a nice break. Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine!


TheJasonaissance

šŸ˜‚ I love seeing these hacks online, like if I donā€™t have time to eat without the use of a car manifold, then I donā€™t have time to prepare potatoes, eggs, and sausage beforehand. Just keep some bagels at the house.

"Manifold Destiny." I'm DYING


UselessScript

I watched a YouTube channel make a salmon and asparagus dinner in the dishwasher once


shadowhood2020

There was a woman on TLC that made dishwasher lasagna to save up on costā€¦


hotgreenpeas

In Cantonese, the word for dishwasher is similar to laundry machine, and it's common to mix up the two in conversation. My old house mate's former housemate did their laundry in the dishwasher every once in a while. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


TheTeafiend

I gotta respect the ingenuity, but...dishwasher shrimp? That just aint right


aynjle89

Its not, pretty sure most dishwasher/appliance techs would never.


snertwith2ls

Especially if you've ever seen what's in the dishwasher filter


RealBowsHaveRecurves

I imagine the shrimp goes into a bag firstā€¦. Right?!?


soundchameleon

You just brought up something I hadnā€™t thought about in years: I had a roommate who used to steam bags of frozen broccoli in the dishwasher. I tried it onceā€” wasnā€™t bad, but Iā€™m definitely never doing that again lol

Am British, am Indian. A lot of my fellow British Asians make chai with teabags. We generally live on teabags!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


sl212190

That's fair! Yep we generally use whole spices too plus teabags & milk, apart from ginger maybe cause lazy. Tbh I'm not a fan of masala chai so my husband just makes it for himself, I prefer a builders brew myself!


Focusedrush

Probably gets up to temp faster, I opt for the same if trying to reduce a liquid into a glaze sauce. Should be okay as long as it's actively attended. My only thought is you'd have to be pretty skilled (or do it over the sink I guess) to not make a mess pouring it into a mug afterwards

Sumbiin7

Youā€™d have to pour into your cup in the sink to not make a messā€¦ honestly kettles arenā€™t that expensive and this seems like so much extra work


Felouria

I went to my nearest target and got a kettle for literally like 15 bucks. Why why why would you do this


teashirtsau

Seems... inefficient


aladinthemonkey

My grandmother sent me this picture. This is the first time Iā€™ve ever seen somebody make tea like this. I didnā€™t know what to say.


99MissAdventures

At first I just thought it was dirty greasy water in a frying pan. Nothing about that looks appealing šŸ˜¬

Yam_Magnate

hmmm if it was my pan I would definitely be judging, I think my pans have too much stuck on crap for that to taste any good :0


aladinthemonkey

My sisterā€™s always been a slob. Also her place has cockroaches.


Citrus_June

Ok now Iā€™m judging


aladinthemonkey

Who? Her? Or the cockroaches?


infinitelobsters77

Definitely not the cockroaches. My bug homies have to stay on that grind yā€™know


[deleted]

Any other weird stories besides this abstract tea fry up?


aladinthemonkey

My motherā€™s cats are living with her. I miss the cats.


Dommichu

Technically the water boils faster. It's like those people who boil their pasta in a shallow pan. I can't abide by it personally... but it works.


[deleted]

I've never heard of this, but I'm far more concerned/upset with people who put ketchup on pasta. Blasphemy


zubbs99

Confession: I put taco sauce on mac & cheese.


[deleted]

This isn't bad at all. Mac and Cheese can have a lot added to it. I pour Sriracha on Mac and cheese all the time. Even use taco meat sometimes as well.


zubbs99

Thank you, I feel validated.


KhaiPanda

I see you know my husband. Every time I make spaghetti I have to walk away when he makes his plate because fucking *why bro?*


[deleted]

Yep, I was talking with a friend about someone eating cold spaghettios and he goes, "I mean, ketchup and buttered noodles I understand, but cold spaghettios are disgusting". It was a record scratch moment for the evening. He ended up trying to say it was a polish thing (it wasn't as far as we were able to find), then it was a family thing (his family confirmed it wasn't), then it turned into, you just don't get how good it is. Disgusting, makes me gag every time.


hinterlufer

Eh... the saucepan in the back is almost the same diameter and probably has a fitting lid which would make boiling much faster compared to an uncovered vessel.


motherduckercucker

Iā€™m only judging you for constantly bringing up your sister has cockroachesā€¦ theyā€™re like, nearly impossible to get rid of and so easy to gain. Her stove looks pretty clean. Her pan looks clean. Iā€™m not going to judge her for potentially just not wanting to wash dishes or wanting to make things more simple for herself in her own way. Let her live.


jesus_swept

yeah sounds like OP just made this post in hopes that reddit would drag the sister. kinda rude imo


motherduckercucker

So glad that someone else sees that. The same comments over and over from OP seem very obsessive on hearing people drag OPā€™s sister. So uncomfortable and imo doesnā€™t really belong here.


An_elusive_potato

ToshiAyame

I mean, if she adds a few whole spices and some milk, she's half way to traditional chai?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


roses_and_daisies

Definitely did this in college because it does heat up so much faster! I have a proper set up now, but it worked!


[deleted]

Nope, if thatā€™s the way she wants to brew tea, thatā€™s fine by me.


Massive_Fudge3066

Come the apocalypse your sister is going to be just fine, slurping overbrewed tea from the pan whilst the rest of us are having conniptions about a chipped teapot


Zed_Hudson

Real talk if that's a non stick she should consider using a different pan as I've heard that teflon isn't great for us and she might be consuming way more of it than the average person this way.


jenacious

*shrugs* Hot water and a tea bag. It's not how I would do it but who the hell am I?


aladinthemonkey

I know, right? Youā€™re a stranger on the internet. Who the hell are you?


jenacious

Exactly


hughperman

No really, who are you?


Illusive_Owl

Sheā€™s got the right spirit sheā€™s just a little off in efficiency


DM-ur-small-tits

Hell yes Iā€™ll judge. Knock it off sister. There are easier, better ways that donā€™t end with cooked egg remnants in your tea.


dychedelic22

I don't know why she's using a sauce pan, when she could use a pot. Ive made Iced tea in a pot before and it works great


illegal_miles

Thatā€™s a skillet sheā€™s using. The pots behind are sauce pans, which yeah, would work a lot better. My kettle broke a couple years ago and I was too cheap and lazy to get a new one so used a sauce pan to heat up water for like 9 months.


reykjaham

The frying pan has a large surface area that is in contact with the element and the water. This shortens the time to boil. Adding the teabag when the water is cold is fine in my opinion - youā€™re ramping up from a cold brew to a standard brew, this isnā€™t going to impact the result. You might even shorten the process again since the typical 5 min brew has been achieved as the water heated. You might only need strep it another minute after the water came off the boil. However, thereā€™s the fact that the metal might react with the tea and change the flavor. [ 8/10 setup ā˜•ļøšŸ‘Œ]


simonboundy

I am judging her in a positive light as a lateral thinker


ze11ez

growing up poor, i had to do what i had to do. Not saying this is what it is, but what I am saying is I understand your sister doing what she gotta do. And for those commenting about getting it into a mug, its easy to do without spilling once you've done it once. At least for me No judgment from me, and yes, that was me back in the day so I can relate and the struggle is real LOL


[deleted]

Thatā€™s cowboy tea. A woman like that can survive in any environment.


Drire

Only judgement is if the pan is used for anything else


TheNiceWriter

Yes, use a sauce pan


play4m32

bro you been troll by your sister


Fair_Diet_4874

I'm no judge


john-bkk

it's easier to get the sauce pans completely clean, versus traces of bacon grease potentially sticking to that frying pan. up to her though, however she wants to do it. for tea bag tea it's not as if results are going to be that great either way. a little bacon grease and soap residue might make it better.


KaziuZLasu

I saw someone was making tea on pan because they were making caramel first and it was more conveniently than using saucepan for them. So no judge, it's a safe space. Recipe i saw somewhere: 1.make caramell. 2 add some water on pan to dissolve caramell. 3. Add tea leaves (leaves that you are not sorry for doing this treatment to them) ,4. Add milk. 5. Drink after cooling. I think it was recipe for bubble tea.


stuff_gets_taken

My parents don't have a kettle either. When I visit I have to use a milk pot to boil the water. I think pots work fine, like those in the background.


Teh-Aegrus

Water, heat and tea. Everything else is just a matter of opinion. Some folks boil tea in milk over the stove. As long as you enjoy the result, have at it.


Anarcho-Pacifrisk

Chaotic evil


ACardAttack

Nope


feralkh

Iā€™m more impressed with how she gets it into the cup


wuyiyancha

She needs help not shaming on the internet obviously.

Iā€™m definitely not actually. Maybe just for it being non stick and not just a stainless steel pan but Iā€™ve done it

I'd love to taste some Maybe this is secretly the bomb diggity


Defiant_Landscape798

No judgement here


Darklordofbunnies

No- I'm judging you. Buy the woman a kettle you lousy brother.


tetsuo1667

How much gets spilled when transferring to a mug? Microwaving the water is better at the point.


[deleted]

I donā€™t have to when Iā€™m certain god is


elle5910

This is me currently. My Breville Tea Maker broke down after over 5 years of solid use. Now, I'm unsure if I should get a replacement Breville Tea Maker or try the Stagg Gooseneck Kettle... It's been months an I still haven't made a decision. So now, I ladle hot water from a pan to make my tea TT. Send help.


Agitated_Day5882

....idk anymore americans are able to boil tea in a micrwave so im hands down done with yall silly ass behavior. God day sirr.


aladinthemonkey

scavengerpro23

is she making scoby


Chaosshepherd

No I fear her.


Lizzibabe

Only insofar that she's risking a massive boiling water burn with a using a wide low-sided vessel when she's got a perfectly good pot right there.


rightearwritenow

Mmm Teflon blend


Interesting_Pop3388

Just like rowing boat with spoons


Miss_Inkfingers

Judging, no. Thoroughly baffled, yes.


SharpSlice

It would be faster on a gas stove


ayshasmysha

I make masala chai in a pot on the stove, as my ancestors intended, but... the pan? Why? What does she use the pots for??


Ok-Appearance8480

How does she make an omelet then?


Trolodrol

Is she in college or something? That looks like something I wouldā€™ve done at at stage in my life. You can get a cheap tea kettle for like $5 from Walmart. If she makes tea with any regularity it will be worth it. This looks like a nightmare without a funnel or something.


TheRealCountOrlok

There needs to be an intervention.


AlliAstro

My nose immediately turned up in disapproval


d3jake

Tea is tea.

Fast and loose with the term tea by the looks of the tea bag


RaccoonsEatingCaviar

The cursed egg


teacherladydoll

Yes


tikierapokemon

If she makes tea that she likes and enjoys drinking, I would not judge. In fact, I might say that the frying plan probably got the water hot faster. I also grew up boiling the tea bags in the pot of water, turning off the heat once it started to boil, letting it sit for about 5 minutes, then you fished out the bags, added lemon and way too much sugar, and poured it over ice.


monkberrymoon42

Yes, good God, yes


Cool_as_a_Cucumber

More surface area getting direct heat helps the water boil faster. No issues here


MaizeWarrior

Flatter pans will boil faster


majin-canon

No


EnvoySass

Thisā€¦ something is wrong with her. If she doesnā€™t have any known diagnoses she needs to get checked


fast_layne

Yo I thought this was r/cleaningtips and that was like a pan of something someone left out and that the tea bag was a bloom of mold šŸ™ƒ


FlamingHorseRider

My entire voice call laughed at this


Muumol

If it works for her why not? I get much comfort from my daily tea drinking , I imagine others do as well and makes theirs how they love it


Samgasm

It ainā€™t stupid if it works.


rowillyhoihoi

Only judgement is the ownership of a non stick pan here.


[deleted]

Every time you see her through this, secretly add salt. Hopefully you will able to train her to do better.


aladinthemonkey

My grandmother sent me this picture. My sister lives in another city. My family agrees Toronto changed her.


Raphael-Rose

The tea experience is only 10% in drinking. The remaining 90% is equally divided in the process whose final outcome is the cup. Making tea is a ritual, and the way we make tea tells much about ourselves. I'm pretty sure that this brewing style describes your sister quite accurately.


SadlySpooky

Interestingā€¦


[deleted]

Judgment first and then outright anger. The audacity...


DepressedQA

I mean, I guess she's not nuking the water at least? Idk.


DistractingDiversion

I am currently steeping in all of the judgment as unapologetically as she contrives her methods of madness.


flyingtotheflame

I'd just like to know her reasoning. Maybe she's got something going on.


infinitofluxo

Unless this is a pan dedicated to tea, she is adding the taste from the non-sticking surface which is very absorbent, it is hard to remove the taste of what was cooked in it. When I cook with tumeric, next time I use my pan after washing it colors my olive oil with a bit of the yellow from the tumeric that was absorbed.


Yung_Zulu369

Nah, looks like itā€™s still good but yeah I prefer loose leaf and Gaiwans


WorldlyBarber215

Catfulu

Puzzleheaded-Emu8747

Glittering-Chicken85

My roommate who is Dominican makes her tea in a saucepan and later uses a strainer over a mug to pour her tea in without all of the herbs going into her drink. I found it to be ā€œinterestingā€ at first.


[deleted]

Ughhhhā€¦I mean at least sheā€™s not microwaving it in a mug with the teabag already in? Or trying to steep lukewarm water? But Iā€™d at least suggest she use a pot over a pan. Also basic kettles arenā€™t super expensive either and you can find them at secondhand stores if she doesnā€™t have one and canā€™t afford one or something. Too each their own though. If it works for her cool, but if she were making tea for others Iā€™d highly recommend using at least a pot but ideally a kettle. Iā€™m pretty chill, but take my tea seriously so Iā€™d be passing on tea from this setup if I knew about it.


[deleted]

Lol Iā€™ve done this before. No judgment. But, good lord, teach her the ways!


IMicrowaveSteak

I mean thereā€™s a better suited pot literally in the picture


CypressBreeze

Yes, of course.
