    A fork in the glass is a stupid idea, unless you have a plastic fork. You might want to elaborate on that part.

  • i've seen this ...

    i've seen this happen before. the water in the microwave is be being heated but it does not have enough contact with the air so it cannot boil even though it is superheated. after it is removed from the microwave and with the coffee added to it, the coffee powder breaks the surface tension, increasing contact with the water therefore producing the boiling effect.

  • This is happen in ...

    This is happen in physic...Water bond molecules been heat up by microwave. But the heat is hot enough to boil the water In this case, the bond of water is absorb heat just before it boiling. but not thing is disturb it while it absorb heat. So when you put coffe in. It disturb the water bond between water molecules causing boiling state.

  • It only happens ...

    It only happens with clean water in a clean glass.
    This is not a microwave effect. But people normally don't put a glass pot on a regular stove.
    To prevent accidents like this, just put your coffee in the water BEFORE you microwave it.

    He dumped coffee in it. THATS why it did that. You don't have to worry about it. I do it all the time with tea. make a 2 minute tea (depends on your microwave's power output. Might need more time) by putting it in a cup of water.

  • this is an ...

    this is an experiment to show superheated water meaning the water is heated above boiling point(100C), when u add a substance into the water immediately after it comes out the microwave the water will boil in the cup

  • it doesn't destroy ...

    it doesn't destroy the microwave and the spoon (or any small metal object really) will offset the effect.

    What happens is the water actually can be heated beyond boiling (evaporating) temperatures because microwaving a glass of water doesn't cause the 'boiling' effect (bubbles).

  • it's distilled ...

    it's distilled water that you have to worry about, because it's free of impurities it doesn't show the boil, but when you add an impurity (a fork or anything else) it explodes into the boil (if it's at temperature). I think it's called overboiling. What it really should say in the description is "don't try to boil distilled water, use tap water for cooking"
