jawabini paydilinishizlar uchun sundum.

A 26-year old decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water
and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done
numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for,
but he told me he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer
shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked
into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but instantly
the water in the cup "blew up" into his face. The cup remained intact
until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out
into his face due to the build up of energy. His whole face is
blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face, which may
leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye.
While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated
that this is fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never
be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner,
something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as:
a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is however a much safer choice
to boil the water in a teakettle.


General Electric's ( GE) response:

Thanks for contacting us. I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail
that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do
not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can
actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated
liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when
something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it. To prevent this
from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more
than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the
microwave for thirty seconds before moving it or adding anything into
it.
