NOT AT/ kind of; Microwaves/ was Deodorant Tubes

[Guest guest]

Hiya all,

 

Today, after watching Mark have his tooth pulled, I had to go to our little

neighborhood pharmacy (the only one that's not a chain) for prescriptions - one

for

pain as the danged tooth didn't cooperate and they had to " drill it out "

(thought

Mark was gonna faint or something and yes, I did stay in the room.. lol), and

another

for an anti-biotic since the Doc didn't want it to get infected as they'd had to

use

a couple stitches on him.. (yea, I know, anti-biotics ...grrrr). Anyways, while

I was

in there, I found this posted on the wall.

Warning to those who use microwaves for heating water

Do NOT, under any circumstances use your microwave for heating plain water. Mr.

(am

leaving out the name) heated water for his morning coffee as was his norm. The

water

'seemed' hot but looked to be not boiling. But - when he took the cup out,

" before "

he even had a chance to put anything in it, the water burst up.......out of the

cup,

and right into his face. Burning most of his face, it will leave permanent

scarring

as well as blinding him in one eye.

Water, heated in a microwave contains energy - while it may not look to be

boiling,

when taken out, it can begin to rapidly boil and has caused many a severe burn

when

it literally explodes.

1. Microwaves contain energy.

2. Many do and will malfunction without our knowing it.

3. Mr xxxxx is one of 'many' who have been burned in this manner.

4. If you " Must " use your microwave for heating water, at least take the

precaution

of using a wooden tongue depresser or if making tea, place the teabag in first -

this

will tend to absorb some of the energy and help prevent a tradgedy of this type.

DO NOT, use your microwave to heat plain water.

____________

Ok, thought I'd pass it along since I do/did that all the time - I've now got my

tea

kettle on the stove.. Don't know if anyone else was aware of this, but I sure

wasn't.. thanked the lil pharmacy for posting it there........ this is the same

pharmacy that we chose since they do and will help with alternative medicine and

have

compounding pharmacists (2) on staff - will work together with your Doctor or

Vet

..............

 

Have made non-natural jello, lol, puddings, MUSHY foods, for Mark and he's doing

well.. and he's taking his " stuff " and drinking herbal iced teas. Just passing

the

above along.........I actually use my microwave very little, one of the things I

" did " use it for was to 'nuke' cups of water for coffee/teas - and I have TWO of

them! They built one in above the stove when they did the house though I didn't

want

it.. lol, and have the one that's about a year old that I'd bought

.............<sigh>

Oh, to add another insult to all this. If you have a whirlpool microwave, call

their

hotline #, I think it's on their web-site - some of the newer models have a

recall

since they tend to catch on fire - is mine one of them? Of course it is!!!!!!!!!

<grin> (the one that came w/the house..., go figure!) I think they also made it

under

the brand Kitchen Aid - the serial number of yours ought to be just inside the

door

of the microwave - if you've got one of these brands, write the number down and

call

them - they are acknowledging liability and will fix or replace as necessary at

no

cost to you.

 

Hugs,

 

Marilyn

 

PS - what a day...........

hot water..yep knewit the super heated water is there but the surface

tension of the water is holding in any gas to be released. so break the

surface tension and blamo volcano and it hit the faced or lips .. do not

blow on the surface to cool it could erupt... pan heating super heats

the bottom first and so it disperses the heat...bubbles up and boils

roils and all..the first micro wave was designed to heat one cup of

water to 212 deg in 60 seconds.. they'er hotter, more powerful, since

then...\

some other stuff to know. never do metal.. in the microwave..

sugars and hard dense material gets hot faster

and here is one heating eggs or doing microwave eggs can result n

exploding eggs..

 

while at it never have cinnamon buns in bear country.....just my humor

and truth..

 

that is right wave an egg and it explodes..... once a friend of mine

complained of cool or cold eggs in a restaurant and they waved them hot

quick but when served he touched it with a fork and it blew up in his

face....yes... so... it is tricky to use the cool tool of the micro

wave.... there are also those that concern themselves with the

denaturing of foods that have been waved.. interesting theories of

polarity and proteins... the big Microwave n the sky treats our food

more gently than the one in the kitchen or the stove any way... the idea

is be gentle with the food.... or go vegan... eat em up alive... jf
