Confused noob

[stooby]

I'm a little confused as I prepare to brew first batch. I was under the impression you had to boil the wort for about an hour prior to pitching the yeast. The beer kit I have (Coopers Australian Lager) says to simply add 2 ltrs boiling water to extract, stir, cool down & pitch yeast. Do I have some kinda ultra beginners kit or what? Thanks

The Coopers kits are no-boil kits. I'm not certain they are the simplest out there, but they are quite easy to use.

The boiling is for hop utilization. Your kit is pre hoped
