Microwaved water
and other liquids 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 wooden 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.*
