can become
"superheated"
in a microwave,
and
when the container
is moved in
any way, the
superheated liquids can
"explode"
out

"Superheated"
water is hotler than
boiling
water, EVEN THOUGH lT
DOES NOT APPEAR
TO
BUBBLE.
To reduce the
possibility
of this occurrence:
Always make
sure that liquids
are stirred vigorously
before heating
to assure that the liquid is
mixed with
air.
NEVER
HEAT LIQUIDS FOR
AN EXCESSIVE
LENGTH
OF
TIME.
8. Do not use
paper
towels

a
synthetic
fiber woven into them,
