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 told me  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 instantly 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  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. It is however a much safer choice to boil the water in a  teakettle.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.  If you pass this on ... you could very well save someone from a lot of pain  and suffering.Now check the attachment!<a href="https://groups.google.com/d/topic/lankawebnet/qELqmwB1Axs/discussion" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://groups.google.com/d/topic/lankawebnet/qELqmwB1Axs/discussion" target="_blank">https://groups.google.com/d/topic/lankawebnet/qELqmwB1Axs/discussion </a>Rep me ++ if you like this</blockquote>
