Victor,
We found a wonderful measuring cup at Bed, Bath Beyond that is plastic,
and has a lid on it that whistles when the water boils. As of yet, the
water has never boiled over. It holds up to 2 cups.
Thanks,
Tom

Let's just say that Victor would not be my first choice to prepare a
gourmet
dinner and put this thread to bed.

a thermometer that can measure the temp to a degree or two less than
boiling, then let the bag sit.
Most coffee and tea makers use about 208f.

what is the difference in taste between dropping ice into Scotch and
pouring over the ice?
I do my te as follows:
place all loose leaves for entire amount of tea bev into coffee maker
I do believe that it is time to bring this subject to a close.
It may be an interesting discussion on the cooking in the dark list.
Maybe there an answer to Victor's question could be found.

Victor,
Interesting. Not sure there is an answer. The reason that adding salt
helps is that it raises the boiling point of the water. If you use sugar
in your tea, try adding the sugar before putting it in the wave, not sure
it will do anything, but it will make a nice sticky mess if it
That is absolutely no way to make tea! You deserve what you get! I don't feel
the least bit sorry for you! Even if I knew how to prevent it I wouldn't tell
anyone who makes tea like that.
Disgusting!

If your microwave has a temp probe and you set it for 190 or 200 degrees,
being below the standard boiling point of 212 F.
When I want hot tea on mine I put 1 cup of water on high for 2 minutes,
for coffee it is 1 minute on high.
I use the same measuring cup all the time. I do

I suspect the tea bag, abomination that they are, causes a spot
at which the temperature changes in an unstable manner
allowing boiling water from deep in the cup to rapidly get top side.
Only thing to do is leave the bag out till the water is hot, but still
probably a risk of instability and

many tea folks will say that having the air leave the water (whatever
that means other than *don't *boil)
will make for a very flat cup of tea.
don't try that with green tea or it will taste like limp broccolli!
