He reported that this inventive technique worked remarkably well, cooking the noodles in just 3 minutes.

‘Try at your own risk’

Speaking to WeirdKaya, the video poster @123abcdef.u, also known as Alfata, explained his motivation:

“I think it’s because I lived in a dorm during high school. Dorm kids will do anything to get food, our survival skills are off the charts.”

He also offered a word of caution to those interested in trying this ‘hack’: “Try at your own risk.”

The inventive approach has captured the imagination of many viewers. The comments section of the post reveals a mix of amusement and admiration.

One user commented, “This IIUM student is so creative,” while another joked, “Iron for making Maggi, not for pressing friends. Good job, kid.”

The latter comment alludes to a tragic incident from a few years ago where a university student was killed by their ‘friends’ using a steam iron, adding a layer of dark humour to the discussion.
