So, I was with some friends yesterday after having returned from the skate park. We were all tired and hungry so I decided I could heat up some Hot Pockets (by the way, if Hot Pockets are still in a freezer, shouldn't they be called Pockets?). Anyhow, we basically took turns heating each of our own (I'm not going to heat up every single one for everyone especially if I'm beat down after some gnarly shredding). I was in the kitchen when I saw one of my friends heating up his. Hot Pockets usually only take a minute and a half to heat up in my microwave, but he pressed "2" (which on my microwave, is a quick way to set the cooking time to 2 minutes). When it got to the 30 second mark, he opened the door, collected his food, and cleared the time. I, however, placed mine in, shut the door, and set it to exactly a minute and half. When the time was up, the microwaved beeped and bopped, I opened the door, and grabbed my delicacy.

The question here that I'm wondering is, who's "method" was lazier? He set his by quickly pressing 2 instead of when I had to set it to a specific time to cook and pressing 1, 3, 0. But then, he had to keep watch for the 30 second mark (a minute and half subtracted from the two minutes he set) so he could get his but all I had to do was just wait for the beep indicating the time was up (and during that time, I could have been doing whatever else for a minute and a half).

I don't know it's kind of weird to explain, though. Also, I think I devised an even lazier method of microwaving things that "require" you to let it cool down for a certain amount of time. So, basically, take the time you have to let it cool down and subtract it from the time you have to cook it. For example, I microwaved some spaghetti and meatballs and I had to cook it for 8 minutes and let it cool down for 2 minutes. When I had my "epiphany", I cooked it for 6 minutes and it came out perfect.

So, yeah. TL;DR, amirite?
