    It’s also faster than boiling a pot of water on the stove so you can save time if you run it through the kettle and then poor it into a pot on the stove to boil whatever you were making.

      Which can also be done with the microwave without having to get an extra device

      Microwave can heat MORE water than a kettle, too. Unless your microwave is oddly small or your kettle freakishly huge, that is

        Microwaving water is exceedingly dangerous and should never be done.

              Please educate yourself

              Ironic considering I already knew you were talking about superheating, which requires an incredibly smooth container and multiple microwaving attempts to pull off

              You can prevent such dangers by: not double-microwaving your water (even then it’s a low chance), using a rougher cup, or sticking anything (like a spoon) in there while you heat it

              But sure, keep acting like a rare occurrence under incredibly specific circumstances is something to be deathly afraid of. Whatever floats your boat. Just stop spreading it around.

                It’s really shocking the degree of condescension that exudes from you. It’s like you’re trying to cover up your own insecurities or something. Hmm…

                  Quite simple, really:

                  Someone said something blatantly false on the Internet and tried to be smarmy back when they’re wrong. Might I also add: nice projection.

                  If it makes you feel better to think I’m in some way insecure about a simple fact (that the video from OP goes over as well, btw) then I guess feel free but it only makes you look like a bigger idiot to me.
