WARNING ON WATER IN THE MICROWAVE This one is factual read to end for
truthorfiction comments

snip

It certainly is possible to get superheating of water in the microwave,
under certain conditions. I've had it happen to me. However, it's hardly
a major safety issue.

Just wait a few seconds before removing any cup of boiled water or else
stick a spoon in it before removing the cup from the microwave.



Also had an instance of supercooling of something in the freezer. Had
stuck a bottle of fizzy water in the freezer to cool down and forgot
about it for a while. When I remembered it and retrieved it, I opened
the cap and started to pour some out. It was liquid in the bottle, but
froze as soon as it left the bottle.
