Microwaved Water - A MUST see

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.

Nice touch.

its called a flash boil. when you boil water the molecules build up kinetic energy (motion), but in a microwave the water isnt moving and energy is stored as potential energy, so when you put something in it like a spoon all the energy is released at once and boils over and shit.
