Do not boil water into microwave oven!

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.

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.

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?

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

@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?

@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.

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

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