I use mine all of the time. Even when I need to boil a pot or saucepan of boiling water. It's far faster than waiting on a pot of water to come to a boil.

I love tea, but I never use a kettle. How long does it take you to boil a pot of water? I use an induction stovetop and it'll boil in under a minute.....

Do you ever microwave water? I feel like I've just been trolled. But at this point[i] I don't even know what to believe[/i]

Hardly ever. Microwaving water runs the risk (rare, but still a risk) of becoming superheated (where it appears to be a resting liquid, but it at a temp above its boiling point) and when the container is picked up, moved or the liquid is disturbed it can boil over explosively. Not a pretty event.

If your water is clean, that should never happen.

Actually, the "cleaner" the water, the more likely it is to superheat. Distilled water is the most susceptible, but filtered water is capable of superheating too.

Edited by Uncle Putin: 12/29/2014 5:44:10 PMI've never had superheated water. You shouldn't be drinking pure distilled water so that's out of the question, but I think it's kind of silly to be afraid of that happening when it likely only happens with a very specific (and might I add unusual) circumstances. When water reaches 100C, it will always boil unless you screw with its chemistry. And I've never heard of distilled water being "susceptible" to overheating. Please explain the chemistry behind that.

Well shit lol. I'll need to research why this happens because not once have I ever heard of someone being scalded from superheated water from the microwave.

[quote] I'll need to research why this happens because not once have I ever heard of someone being scalded from superheated water from the microwave.[/quote] Like I said, it is rare, but it is a risk. The cleaner the container and the more pure the water is, the more likely it is to happen. It has to do with how a microwave excites the water molecules, surface tension and there being a surface which allows conduction to created the vapor (bubbles). Even the FDA has issued warnings and precautions. http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/ucm142506.htm
