Somebody had been considering what could be worse than microwave tea.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

There's nothing wrong with microwaving water. It's all just getting water molecules to move faster.

Thats how I make my teas. Boil it in a glass measuring cup, then pour it into a mug with the tea.

TechnologyConnections made a video about it.

How do you measure glass in a cup?

Edit to clarify: you pour the glass in a cup like this

As someone in a Commonwealth country, it is so weird to me that people would microwave a jug of water to make a cup of tea instead of buying a $5 kettle.

Counter space, cabinet space.

Yes, but this is something you are using 5-10 times a day... right? Something else can go.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

For someone like me, no.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

microwaving anything is microwaving the water it contains

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I've seen microwave tea as putting the tea bag in the cup and then microwaving it, which is slightly not ideal imo, but to each their own

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That is probably for safety. If you microwave water without anything for it to nucleate on, then it can be liquid above the boiling point. If you then put a tea bag in, it will explode into steam in your face.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

That's really only an issue for microwaves that don't have the turntable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Bad idea if there is a staple in the tag on the tea bag.

But really is just boiling water. Heat is heat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Alternatively, the best use of an air fryer.
