    PSA: Microwaving water can actually be super dangerous because it’s possible to superheat it. When the surface is disrupted, it can violently boil all at once and hurt you.

    Here’s a more detailed breakdown

      Generally you need super pure water though, so if you don't have a distiller and brand new unused dishes, it's probably not an issue.

        I use distilled water for espresso and tea... Thankfully I started because of my electric kettle and espresso machine. Keeping the machines cleaner.

        Never microwaved distilled water.

          Well, I think it also needs to be in a pristine dish with no scratches. Basically it can only happen if there's nothing in the water to create bubbles and disrupt it, then it could possibly heat up without visibly boiling.
