Do not boil water into microwave oven!

[LtBartram]

Grammar issues in school much?

Anyway.... But what's the point of this? You boil water, then put a chemical into it? You seriously don't realise how easy it is?

[80spodcastchannel]

I usually place a chopstick in the cup and it never overheats, cause it creates bubbles and will not superheat and flash off when disturbed

[MrLeiferich014]

ladada

[gummywormz]

whatever, its only for distilled water.

[weedeaterbike]

lmfao

[velozalejandro]

This happened because he boiled the water without the water moving. Since it's microwaves not actual heat waves heating the water evenly it won't bubble till unless moved. Fyi

[littshepkid]

dudre i boiled water this shit never happened

[mesa134]

its the end of the worldd!!!

[onofreyc22]

only with distilled water

[Matthias6113]

who the hell would put that brown shit in water

[firesoftheempyrean]

Distilled water, dorks.

[nomis101uk]

I put a baby in the microwaves once. hah, you should see the stuff that comes out of that! Like, every orifice...

[johnkx]

that's definitely not coffee

[Nemisis99]

Yeh but the thing you leave out is this only happens to distilled water, not tap. Nobody used distilled water in a microwave.

[Ooomwizard]

I put metal in my microwave ALL THE TIME!

Metal acts like a conductor for microwaves (10.4 Ghz = resonant freq of water) and I put a soup spoon in my soup or whatever to transfer some energy INTO whatevr I'm heating up. Ever notice how items heat in a microwave just below the surface? It's the water (10.4 Ghz) absorbing the microwaves.

Dry stuff (no water) items usually don't heat up in a microwave.

DO NOT put any foil or plated stuff, it will arc and spark.

[wondeguy]

@Ooomwizard Please Ooomwizard could you do a vid about that I would like to learn what you say

[luckass000123]

Put a fork in the glass? I want to see a video of you putting a fork in a microwave oven. Please let me know if you upload it!!!

[bonghits420]

@luckass000123 I've done it, no harm no foul, the real terror is aluminum foil.

[kungfro]

"into" microwave oven?

[kitty3309]

Just boil a freakin kettle! XD

[36jemm]

oh my gosh you put dog poo lets see what happens LOL

[bofawziii]

lol

[CuddleCakez]

l0l

[dreamqueen9103]

The video is right the comment is not. This is superheated water. This only happens with distilled water or another pure liquid in a perfectly smooth container. It is possible to happen in your kitchen, but only if you use pure water. Tap water is totally safe. If you must microwave distilled or pure water, put a popsicle stick in it or a plastic spoon.

Never put metal in a microwave.

Also, Microwaves excite the molecules in the food which release heat which warms the food. It can't harm you.

[tpstrat14]

helpful shit, but some clarification on microwaves .... microwaves are electromagnetic radiation (as are light waves and UV rays) and they excite (heat) the water molecules in food, which, in turn, warms the food.

[STiELzephyr]

... unless you're in the microwave.

[teddybeareleventeen]

@dreamqueen9103 This happened to me with tap water.

[SwanningAbout]

@dreamqueen9103 The correct term for you is "knobhead". It has nothing to do with the purity of the water. It depends how clean and smooth the container is. Look it up in any text book. I sugest "Physics for dummies" in your case.

[SwanningAbout]

@dreamqueen9103 "Microwaves can't harm you". What utter crap! Microwaves heat the water molecules in food. Guess what? Human tissue is 80% water. However in your case I would suggest your head is 100% wood and therefore you will come to no harm in a microwave - try it!

[benoz11]

@SwanningAbout You are being blasted with thousands upon thousands of microwaves right now from phone signals.

[SwanningAbout]

@benoz11 True but their wavelength is not tuned to the size of water molecules as is the case in a microwave oven. "Microwave" is a generic term for high frequency radio waves.

[GIA13615093]

@dreamqueen9103 what will happen if you drink it suddenly?

[baguazhang2]

@GIA13615093

You become Super Saiyan level 2

[GIA13615093]

@baguazhang2 what's that? could you demonstrate it for me?

[onlyramey]

@dreamqueen9103 If I heat a cube of water of dimensions 150cm by 2000cm by placing a microwave generator on 150cm side and heat it for three years with a power of 50 K watts, what should happen normally. I think microwaves will not be able to penetrate well into the water hence the temperature at the end (where the source is being placed) will increase slightly, maybe by 0.1-0.2 degree celsisu.

What do you say about it?

[computeraddict183]

It happened to me, and it scared the hell out of me :p.

[donpazer]

This NEVER happens to me..............I put REGULAR TAP WATER into a microwave safe cup and heat it on HIGH for 3 or 4 minutes, and it makes a perfect cup of HOT water for adding instant coffee and sugar too.

[gewjai]

the water has to be de-ionized water or pure water...

[GreatFrosty]

I cook ramen in the microwave all the time with tap water, on for longer than 6 minutes sometimes. Never had this happen to me. Fun though. Cept for the burns and stuff i guess.

[tweeva]

I've seen this happening when heating up clear tap water in the microwave oven. It is very dangerous! The water is beyond it's boiling temperature, but seems to "forget" to start boiling. A similar effect can occur while cooling water. It can be brought to a temperature below zero while it remains liquid.

I 've never had any problems when I put a metal spoon into the water before starting to heat it up.

[BenHutchinson1]

You say to put a fork in before you boil it, but that won't work. The microwaves will induce a high voltage in the fork which will make a corona discharge on the edges of the fork and with 1kilowatt of RF power being turned into electricity and fed into a corona discharge, the discharge will be so hot that it will melt the fork and shatter the glass or ceramic cup.

[cbdiii]

Ok ppl DISTILLED water will not boil in a microwave. tap water has minerals witch allow the water to boil. Distilled has already had all the minerals boiled out. so the real lesson is USE THE STOVE RETARDS!

[DelphinidaeZeta]

It's not distillation, it's the fact that glass is smooth and heating is uniform. Bubbles can't form, and the water can't start boiling until some material disturbs its balance and allows for the first bubble to appear. From there, the boiling chain reaction can start.

[jmkpns]

Microwave ovens have proven that convenience isn't always safe. Use a microwave as little as possible because of the magnitron, you will die.

[LuiKang043]

Magnitron? Is that a particle, you've found? Or does it actually exist? Tell me more, please.

[jmkpns]

Magnitron is what puts out the microwave to, heat the food, but radiation also occurs with that. Today's ovens are safer than the 70s era, but I don't like how microwaves cook food. I cook by convection. My previous replies were a little out there, but I don't trust magnitrons after all I've heard.

[TheGeek1028]

Look, the microwave is a simple process: food (or object) goes in, radio waves nuke it, food/object comes out. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, PEOPLE.

[Gallion]

Actually, it is. It uses rays. They can even kill you. Problem is, many people don't understand this. ¬¬

[the06bug]

That's why newer microwaves offer a child lock feature.

[pl0xinat0r]

microwaves, not radio waves...

[jmkpns]

You don't wanna do anything with a microwave oven, they're death as we know it.

[zhmapper]

Ok, so I shouldn't boil water INTO a microwave...so what happens if I boil water IN a microwave?

[LuiKang043]

same thing dude. Didn't you see the video before commenting?

[DanielPlay72]

lol im gonna try tht

[mike20021969]

similar thing happened to me when i boiled some water for a cup of tea,when i added the suger,well it fizzed over like fuck.

luckily i wasn't holding the cup.

[RailroadDavie]

CUL DUDE!

[ticris]

the right term for that kind of water is microbiological pure

[lifeh0use]

how does the fork help ??

[newbonesbone]

thats not regular tap water. i remember seeing this. I think this is distiled water?

[minihutch]

yes it is just distilled water ever watch mythbusters? (look it up on youtube people if you are on here do something cool) haha just kidding:D

[sovietspyguy]

A fork in the glass is a stupid idea, unless you have a plastic fork. You might want to elaborate on that part.

[scanningallvidzs]

i mean the contact between the air and water molecules

[scanningallvidzs]

i've seen this happen before. the water in the microwave is be being heated but it does not have enough contact with the air so it cannot boil even though it is superheated. after it is removed from the microwave and with the coffee added to it, the coffee powder breaks the surface tension, increasing contact with the water therefore producing the boiling effect.

[DahPro93]

absolutly correct, i learned this in science class

[scanningallvidzs]

this is a better description:

The water in the microwave gets heated to above 373.15K (100 degrees celsius) but does not boil because there are no impurities in the water to disrupt the surface tension and the molecules which will induce the boiling effect which releases the energy.

But when the (presumably) coffee is added into the water the surface tension is broken and the molecules have more space to move about which set of a chain reaction whcih is what we commonly know as boiling

[scanningallvidzs]

I would suggest for cooks out there NOT to boil DISTILLED water in microwaves unless you want to recreate the little video yourself.

And even if you boil it on a stove always stir it or leave the spoon, fork or whatever you use to boil water with in there so that the water can boil at 100 degrees celsius rather than storing the energy.

[trangdung1]

This is happen in physic...Water bond molecules been heat up by microwave. But the heat is hot enough to boil the water In this case, the bond of water is absorb heat just before it boiling. but not thing is disturb it while it absorb heat. So when you put coffe in. It disturb the water bond between water molecules causing boiling state.

[poornation]

Or, heat waves.

[poornation]

Oh, I get it, because the water obsorbes the ... well Micro waves

[JamesBriskly]

It only happens with clean water in a clean glass.

This is not a microwave effect. But people normally don't put a glass pot on a regular stove.

To prevent accidents like this, just put your coffee in the water BEFORE you microwave it.

[ShakingWalls]

umm. It gets like that because its been boiled before or is distilled.

[mvzgoth1]

umm i boil mac and cheese in the microwave all the time ;)

[SoccerOwnsYourFace]

same here

[anko8aug]

i did not know that thanks for the tip i'll becareful

[rootbrian]

He dumped coffee in it. THATS why it did that. You don't have to worry about it. I do it all the time with tea. make a 2 minute tea (depends on your microwave's power output. Might need more time) by putting it in a cup of water.

[mazdarx8297]

i saw what a fork does in a microwave. it turned to plasma after it was done cooking inside. look up the video.

[imnotbright]

it's distilled water that you have to worry about, because it's free of impurities it doesn't show the boil, but when you add an impurity (a fork or anything else) it explodes into the boil (if it's at temperature). I think it's called overboiling. What it really should say in the description is "don't try to boil distilled water, use tap water for cooking"

[Scyrus3]

...wtf ive always been boiling water in teh microwave... nothing happen...

[klipsch21]

this is an experiment to show superheated water meaning the water is heated above boiling point(100C), when u add a substance into the water immediately after it comes out the microwave the water will boil in the cup

[kennyt1230]

I never boil water in the microwave--too dangerous

[ticris]

do not try to boil water in microave without putting in the glass a fork or a spoon

[NJlo]

a fork in a microwave!?

[pureghetto]

it doesn't destroy the microwave and the spoon (or any small metal object really) will offset the effect.

What happens is the water actually can be heated beyond boiling (evaporating) temperatures because microwaving a glass of water doesn't cause the 'boiling' effect (bubbles).

[purelaker]

a wooden fork not a metal one!

[MrsSimonSays]

@ticris I'm pretty sure that putting a metal piece of silverware into your microwave is a baaaaaaaaaaaaad idea...

[zootsuitman12]

@ticris dumb ass, if there is a kid watching who doesnt know about putting metal in the microwave, you just told them to put a fork or spoon in the microwave, thats just as bad if not worse than what happens in this vid. Stupid piece of shit think before you comment.

[gooman989898]

@ticris no no, dont put metal utensils in the microwave either

[steelerblitz]

wtf was that?

[remixdude9]

WTF DID U DO
