Really the only danger in using a microwave to boil water is superheating if there are no nucleation sites in the mug.

Which is why it's important to put the teabag in the water before microwaving it.

Or just like gently stir the water when it comes out of the microwave. You'd really have to overcook the fuck out of the water to create a risk of superheated water explosions. Tea should be slightly below boiling anyway.

I thought tap water had enough particulate in it by itself?

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

Usually it does, but then again there are places where people don't drink the tap water.

Just go the whole hog: put the teabag in the bottle of water and microwave that.
