    I did it when having no kettle,

    Main problem is that you don't have a good temperature control, sometimes, you get mid-walm water, sometimes you get boiling water.

    Even worse, you have this physical phenomena where water is above 100 degree but doesn't boil, and as soon you move-it it starts boiling. At best it's impressive but it can move into burn quickly.

      Has that happened to you? I've not managed to make super heated water in the microwave.

        The water continues to heat ~1 minute after microwaving stops, so I guess it could happen if you take it out very close to the boiling point.

          That does not sound right. Do you have a source for that claim?

            If you're using distilled water there's not enough minerals in the water to start the boiling process before the temperature crosses 100 C because microwaves heat it up so fast.

            It also doesn't necessarily have to be distilled water, but the the closer it is to just H2O, the higher the chance this will happen.

              Yeah, his ass. If you stop adding energy then it stops getting hotter.

              Food keeps cooking cause the water in the food is hot and that keeps the food cooking for a bit.

              But it doesn't KEEP getting hotter.
