    Yeah it’s very simple to answer the “why not put in a bit more effort”. It’s always “I want to be lazy”.

    Applies to people making fancier eggs, fancier noodles or better popcorn. Ease of finishing and speed >>>> quality.

      It maybe takes 5 minutes total, and that’s only if you put a bunch of stuff on it. It’s not hard. You literally just dump the kernels into the pot.

      It’s about as much time as making it in the microwave. For both you’re just waiting around for most of it.

        Your method required me to take out a pot. My method requires me to throw a bag in a microwave like an animal. We are not the same. /s

        Yeah but then you have to clean the pot afterwards. You can throw away the bag.

        Is cleaning the pot hard? No, absolutely not. But if you’re lazy, you’ll probably lean towards the far easier option which is just the one where you throw away the bag afterwards
