I once found my baby sister putting eggs in the microwave. Having seen Anne's previous video on it I was absolutely horrified. She just had no idea it was so dangerous! I think she found it on TikTok. It's upsetting how this information can get everywhere, even to children. Thanks for keeping me educated Anne!

Cookin eggs in the microwave isnt an issue if you do it properly As stated at 5:21; you absolutely shudnt poach eggs in the microwave. Ann extends this to all forms of cooking, but if you scramble and microwave eggs; it wont explode unless you way overcook that stuff, and even then itll explode durin cookin, not just randomly due to an air pcket... Bcuz you keep mixin the eggs to prevent such formin You can egen cook a whole egg in the microwave tho, you just are probs gonna want to **repeatedly** pierce the yolk and scrape the edges inward durin cookin to prevent any potential buildups The real thing you shud nvr do with eggs is leave them to cook in an area theyre bein heated from the outside in, without any agitation of the egg to prevent gas buildup Ive cooked eggs in microwaves my whole life and have nvr even seen an egg explode in a small way when taken out; bcuz i dont try poachin eggs in the microwave, and even if i did... Id be smart enuf to poke that thing with a wooden skewer to let the gases escape before i cut into it Notably, ive witnessed superheated water from the microwave before, and as such, i tap the water cup hard enuf to agitate the water if i ever notice its not boilin when it rly shud be boilin; and thats meant to be the rarer exp

@@jadziajan Even though they're being really annoying about it, they are sort of correct about one thing. My parents have cooked scrambled eggs in the microwave my whole life and it's been fine. They just set it for like 30 secs at a time and mix it in between. BUT cooking a whole egg as is in the microwave seems way too dangerous to recommend in any way, especially for children. I personally always cook eggs on the stove, but it is correct that cooking scrambled eggs in the microwave is fine as long as you keep checking it often. With that said, most people should just stick to the stove which is safer as you have more control.

Alton Brown, on an old episode of Good Eats, explained this concept of superheating water in a microwave. A bit sad Anne didn't give more details, but she was still 100% spot on - fully smooth surfaces give water no nucleation sites (points where bubbles can start to form), so the water becomes packed with a TON of potential energy and no way to release it until the surface tension is broken. Alton's solution was to put a single wooden chopstick in with the water you're heating, the wood is incredibly irregular on the surface and thus provides a bunch of nucleation points so you shouldn't ever have to worry about superheating water in the microwave. =)

Do NOOOOOT put wood in the microwave, I nearly caused a fire doing that. Wood gets very hot and unevenly too, and it will absolutely light on fire or at least burn and start to smoke. I did it once with a wooden popsicle stick when I was melting some wax for hair removal, and I left the stirring stick in with the cup of wax.

@XOChristianaNicole Жыл бұрын

@@adaharrisonn - It’s because the wood was dry; as wax does not contain any moisture. Microwaves work by causing water molecules to spin super fast, and crash into each other. So, if there is no water - things are gonna burn, because there is nothing to diffuse that energy. If the wood is in water or soaked - it’s a completely different story. Putting wood into water is going to diffuse the energy, from the boiling water. The water in any soaked wood is going to diffuse the energy, also. When you have a dry wooden stick and wax - there is nothing to diffuse the energy, within or surrounding the wood. This is why the bottom little lip of even hotel paper cups will burn if microwaved, also (recently realized this, in fact. Though, that could potentially be a combination due to heavy metals being in the materials, also). It’s, also, the same reason why putting a wooden spoon on top of a boiling pot of water helps to prevent the water from boiling over - the wood helps to absorb and diffuse the energy, the heat and steam produces/gives off.

You can also do the boiling water trick with freezing water, which is in my experience safe and a lot more fun! If you take a single use plastic water bottle and put in in a fridge/freezer set just below freezing, you can get the water to that temperature without it turning to ice. Then if you shake the bottle to introduce air bubbles, or drop it, or otherwise disturb it, it will visibly turn to ice! If you’re careful, you can actually keep it liquid long enough to drink from it and feel it turn to ice and then melt quickly back to water in your mouth. Very fun sensation!

If you want to pull off a nearly identical but totally safe weird water phenomenon, leave a bottle of water on your dash overnight when it's well below freezing.

The rotisserie or turning plate in microwaves was added to cut down on liquid explosions. The turning helps move water around so it's more likely to boil. Added in the 80s because even though rare, with far more people having microwaves, these incedents were happening more often. Our late 70s microwave did not have a rotisserie. I don't put a cup of water directly in the center but off center, so the cup is jostled around a little more. Not sure if that helps, but that's what I do just in case.

@aronasmundurjonasson3175 5 ай бұрын

I am pretty sure that the turning plate was actually added because a microwave heats very unevenly. Since a microwave uses electromagnetic radiation to cook stuff, you will have spots where the waves interfere in a destructive manner, resulting in virtually zero heating. The rotating plate is primarily there to even out the heating

Ann, I love your videos! I just have one criticism for this one. The frosting hack you tested is from Sugarologie, who like you is a small creator who enjoys developing, testing, and sharing recipes. Your debunking hacks videos typically focus on content farms and other very large creators and, at a glance, Sugarologie's video looks like it might be from one of these. I think you should've clearly communicated what type of creator she is so that people wouldn't get the wrong impression. As a creator yourself, I really think you should be lifting up small creators, especially those whose channels are much smaller than your own. I'd also really love to see you maybe revisit the hack now that she has made a response video showing a lot more information about how her process works.

Hi Starlit Reader, thanks for your comment. The video was sent to me to test and the scientific explanation given in the video was incorrect. It fits in with debunking and was debunked in a simple non-agressive scientific manner. The problem here is if I do what you ask and address this again in another video explaining it in more detail, including explaining why re-whipping the swiss meringue didn't work in her response video didn't work - then that would not be "lifting up" her channel as you requested. And that is why I am stuck here - you are asking for 2 conflicting things.

Audio usually doesn't hurt people, it just takes the money from unsuspecting people, and most of my "videos" (I'm not a video producer) are of tutorial issues, usually in acoustics or digital signal processing directed at professionals, with some hope of some "trickle down". So thank you for doing this debunking. It's extremely important. As to superheated water, yes, it is possible to superheat water. I have used that (CAREFULLY) as a magic trick about how "hot my tea bags are". Certainly superheated water is pretty )*((*& scary.

Very true! Oat milk is thicker though so I suspect it's easier to trap bubbles, rather than just not have them actively form, which is what happens with pure water.

A bit of a gardening tip - while you can grow from seeds you get out of your fruit, it will often result in a weak plant or fruit that is not necessarily exactly the same quality as the one you got the seeds from. Fruit trees are usually grafted (same for roses) because the selective breeding for big, juicy fruit or particular flowers comes at the expense of other parts of the plant, including the roots. So the trees/shrubs are grafted onto hardy root stock. Also, when a plant is pollinated and forms seeds, it may have DNA from two different plants so the fruit or flowers are not always going to be the same as the plant they came from. This can be a bonus, though as you might get different coloured flowers, I have seen this often with pentas flowers. Commercial plants are grown from cuttings or tissue cultures to get clones of the parent plant. Love your videos Anne.

Please believe me, if you think it should be boiling, and it is not, this could be happening. Thank you, Ann, for sharing and looking out for your fellow man.

I don't understand why this isn't (more) commonly known? Superheating can happen to all kinds of fluids, not just pure water. For everyday scenarios it is probably best to put a microwave safe object in your cup/container (like a chopstick or something). Especially when you heat it for a very long time and your fluid doesn't seem to be boiling at all try to tap it lightly with an object from a safe distance to make sure.

I suppose we can say common sense is an evolving knowledge. Back in my childhood, if I wanted hot water (or eggs), we would use the stove. Microwave is for reheating food only. Using a microwave for water and eggs just doesn't make sense. In primary school (age 6 to 12) we may have heard, in passing, that water can be heated beyond 100 degrees Celsius, and heard about condensation nucleus when we visit the observatory. But all these never really clicked together to form an understanding. It is easy to think that, in a laboratory we can do all sorts of magic. "Supercooled and superheated water? Easy! Nah, it's not going to happen in daily life would it?" To realise the danger of exploding water, one needs to know: 1) Glass may lack nucleation sites for steam, 2) Microwave provides very little disturbance to the water, 3) A rough idea how long should it have taken for the water to boil. The above three knowledge would not click together until I am in middle school or early high school. If I am 12, and I have watched some videos of people successfully heated up water in a microwave, I probably would not have been able to identify the danger. It seems nowadays there are many things, that we simply won't do in the past, become commonplace. And it may very well have outpaced the growth of our common sense.

Another aside: I have a friend whose family would put a tiny cup of water into the microwave, to provide moisture when reheating food. You can occasionally hear pops coming from the exploding water. And yes, there are water droplets insids everytime a pop is heard. It is kind of amazing that they have been doing this and the water never exploded when they were reaching in. This is PURE LUCK, I should warn everyone. If you want to do so, put a toothpick into the cup at the very least.

I didn't grow up with a microwave but always heard about it. In fact, I didn't have a microwave until very recently. It is a lot faster to heat water for my coffee press in the microwave and more energy efficient. I'm curious how long it typically takes in a microwave to super heat water. I've always done 2 mins from room temp and 4 to 5 for refrigerated water.

@@Dionysos95yup, it happened to me years ago with a mug of hot chocolate. Microwaved it, opened the door and went to stir it, but the second the spoon touched the liquid, it basically exploded. The mug broke in half right down the middle and there was hot chocolate everywhere 😅

My goodness some of the things out there - I definitely feel like ‘common sense’ and ‘logic’ needs to be taught as it’s own class throughout all levels at school. Love your work always! From Melbourne 🥰

Hi Ann, I've seen your videos about poaching eggs in the microwave and it looks scary. I often use microwave egg poachers at home. These come in silicone or plastic and have a lid that seals on presumably to catch the egg if it explodes (which I've noticed is very common), they make delicious poached eggs easily and I was wondering if using them would adequately reduce the risks or they are still dangerous.
