Micro waved water - a MUST read  

yeah...its a good info.....

hey friends i have collected another interesting topic (most of the hospitals make money from women?) please do read that. it is very important to spread the information to the people.
that topic is about the happenings in hospitals how they sell the umbilical cords which cut during operation and not have informed the patients or their relatives.

good chemical reply. thanks for the information it was really a very good information .

It's always good to repeat helpful information! LOL

You got it right. I have read about this happening to another person, but he was trying to boil tea water and when he dipped the tea bag into the superheated water, it blew up to his face.

That phenomena is also true to soda cans that had been shaken. If you try to open the can of soda right after it is shaken you get a loud swish and sometimes, the soda will just blow up into your face. One way of preventing that? just tap on the soda can 3 times on the topside and even if the can has been shaken before opening, it will not blow into your face.

Reason, the water bubbles, i.e. carbonated water molecules tend to be in the water itself and so when pressure is released, when you open the soda can, the air molecules trapped in the soda rises fast causing it to be released into the air with the soda. But when when you tap on the can's upper side, the molecules, (built-up air) rises to the top of the can and releases without the fluid content. This can be demonstrated if you put in some soda on a glass, and you will see the air molecules clinging to the side of the glass, but when you tap on the glass, the air bubbles rises to the top of the glass. Try it!

thanks for the information . this topic is really a good topic. i think we need comments from such experienced users or from experts as many dont know about this things this has to be spread to the people

wellits not the cups fault if any1 of u ever watched mythbusters on discovery they showed that how liquids could get super heated in a microwave oven n when u stir em or put anything in it it will explode.....this happens because of the way the microwaves heat up liquids
never use em to boil liquids,never put metal in em it wont blow but it will reduce ur ovens life n dont boil eggs n yes do not heat jawbreakers in them either

thanks for your response ,lot of information are comin out. i am happy that many will come to know about this topic

That jawbreaker thing was pretty funny. I guess people will put anything in a microwave.

Mythbusters rock. I'm so glad they did this topic. I was wondering if they ever would because it sounded right up their alley. I first heard about it watching my local news a few years ago. Pretty scary stuff. They actually reproduced it for the camera and it was scary to see the water just go everywhere. I am very careful now when I use the microwave to heat water (like for hot chocolate) and I make sure the kids are out of the room when I take it out and I stand behind the door of the microwave, just in case my initial movement causes the water to explode.

I used to boil water all the time when I was in college to make mac and cheese. The instructions said to heat the water for 5 minutes in the bowl. I probably would have started cooking more on the stove back then if I had seen that report.

I use a bowl of water and baking soda. I let it set in the microwave for awhile after the timer goes off. Then it wipes clean and leaves no odor!

wow good idea for cleaning it. thanks for the reply friends

please do think about this ,my friend as many have faced such problems

but please dont keep metal spoons as it will affect owen itself.

try putting an old Cd ion instead. or a bar of soap. or some marshmallows. isn't science wonderful

yeah i think microwave companys should inform this to everyone who buys it.

it is true that we shouldnot heat water in owen but many feel it would be easy to heat and drink na. thanks for your reply and interest in topic.
