Water

When all you want is a quick cup of tea or instant coffee, you might have considered placing a mug of water in the microwave. However, heating up water on its own can be very dangerous. When boiled on a stove, water produces bubbles which helps regulate the temperature. Bubbles do not form when you boil water in the microwave, which traps the heat inside. This can potentially lead to an explosion of hot water, resulting in second or even third-degree burns.
