Many citizens have acquired the habit of boiling water in the microwave. But is it safe?

The question excited the community so much that scientists even conducted entire studies.

Here's what their work showed: water does indeed heat up in a microwave oven to boiling point, but the electromagnetic waves heat up the water molecules in random places.

This means that if the water is heated for a short time, it may heat up unevenly, that is, hot areas may be under a cold layer.

Hence the following conclusion: after heating in the microwave, water must be stirred before drinking.

In addition, it is recommended to use special containers for heating water in an electrical appliance that do not pose a danger to your health.

In other words, it is best to use glass and ceramic dishes.

Do not cover containers in which water is heated when placed in a microwave oven.

To avoid overheating, it is recommended to place a non-metallic object, such as a chopstick, in the container.

You need to heat the water in several stages and stir it every 1-2 minutes until it boils.
