Subject: MICROWAVING WATER -

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of water
and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had done
numerous times before). I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but
he wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer shut the oven off,
he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that
the water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup 'blew up'
into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand,
but all the water had flown out into his face due to the build up of
energy. His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to
his face which may leave scarring.

He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the
hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly
common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave
oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the
cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc..,
(nothing metal).

General Electric's Response:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that
you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always
bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get
superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up
out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag
is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid
for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the
microwave for thirty seconds! before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: 'Thanks
for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by
a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated
and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is
new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can
form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface
scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the
bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid
does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling
point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is
just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the
hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated
beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.'

If you pass this on you could very well save someone from a lot of pain
and suffering.

I GOT THIS ON EMAIL AND IT IS TRUE.
I SENT IT TO ALL THE COLLEGE KIDS ALSO
I ONCE HEATED COFFEE UP TOO LONG IN THE MICROWAVE AND ADDED EQUAL AND IN JUMPED AND SPLASHED OUT OF MY CUP. GOOD THING MY FACE WAS NOT CLOSE TO IT.

Hi Everybody.....and thanks for all your compliments on my kids....

Jim - Good Luck to your son...my son is just finishing up his first year at Pace, he loves the city...we took them all out of the city and they could not wait to go back to it...lol lol

Hi Jim, Terry, Lynjoy, and Fred.

Anthony - Your song today "Only in America" really hit a nerve today...all I have been hearing on the radio and news lately that they are trying so hard to pass laws that these immigrants get free tuition, free medical care and seems like FREE everything...while we "Americans" have to work our asses off for everything we have and our kids don't get a free ride for colleges that cost way too high...just my 2 cents..............

Judy

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when...

1. You accidentally enter your pin on the microwave.

2.. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses...

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10.... You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your
coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

HI JUDY!!! LOVE THAT & YES I DID GO BACK & LOOK FOR #9 LOL
