Default Wantone's Microwave Safety Tip #828

Many of us may boil water using the microwave. It's okay to boil it but never use a perfect surface container e.g. glass, pyrex, porcelain where there are no porous surfaces... This is what could happen when an object touches microwaved water right out of the oven...

BOILING!!!

superfreezing water is neater. put water in a perfect container and a walk-in freezer. your kitchen freezer won't work, too much vibration and it'll cause the water to freeze at regular temp. Let it sit for a while, then tap the outside of the container. you'll freeze the water!

a bit safer than superheating it too
