Talk:3187: High Altitude Cooking Instructions

Okay, but now I am imagining an inverse package labelling for ISS foodstuffs. 209.52.88.130 01:17, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

I think ISS qualifies as "sea level": the key is the atmospheric pressure, height per se does nothing to food 185.36.194.156 01:44, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

The ISS maintains pretty much sea level atmosphere, and seems to also maintain similar composition, but there's definitely going to be complications with microgravity. Now I want to see what boiling water and steam look like in a zero g atmosphere R128 (talk) 08:48, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

"...throughout the duration of cooking, hold cooker at arm's length and spin at roughly 30rpm, or as low as 5rpm if free-floating..." 82.132.244.242 13:13, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

You try cooking on the ISS the way you cook at sea level, you're gonna have several cups of boiling water in microgravity. 207.195.86.104 04:55, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

I am editing the transcription and confused where the notes are attached. Now that the higher note reads ‘remove from heat [...] for 3 minutes before serving’, it may be food packaging, but the paint is too thin for it to be used for that purpose. And the space is seemingly inadequate for typical food labels (nutrition, ingredients, manufacturer, etc). 物灵 (talk) 05:10, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

The higher note might just be the ‘sea level cooking instructions’, reading:

Sea level cooking instructions

[... ... ... ...]

remove from heat [...]

for 3 minutes before serving.

It may be a box of pasta or similar, which can be shaped pretty thin - I have spaghetti boxes which are maybe an inch thick and quite large. The nutritional information, etc could be higher up on the board/box shown in the comic R128 (talk) 09:53, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
