b) aren't you not supposed to put metal in the microwave?
c) what is being advocated here? use glasses with imperfections, or not to microwave for so freakin' long?
d) what's this about not microwaving water on its own?
there are so many urban legends about the alien technology of the microwave.
b) metal in the microwave is for when the microwave is actively in use, afterwards is fine.
c) i suppose both. or place something in the glass with surface imperfections, such as a plastic fork.
d) superheating water can be dangerous, as it appears as though the water is not of boiling temperature. i'm sure you can still see water vapor, but it can be misleading, and putting your finger in the glass would be akin to placing your hand in violently boiling water. the container will also be very hot. also, most classic glassware and crystal can explode under those kind of temperatures.
