I agree Tom. I've been heating water for 3 minutes, or
until it boils, in a glass coffee cup for about 6 years now and
have "NEVER" had a problem. All you need is
a cup, water, microwave and good common sense.

question about installing ferrules (microwave boiling of water is
risky)
Does this mean I can't heat my cup of water for a minute
in my micro? I've
been doing that since about 1988 for my morning cuppa
tea. Never had an
explosion. Guess I've been lucky. Or perhaps Stossel
is a whining wienie?
Seriously, that's one of the silliest
"consumer warnings" I've heard. H2O
exploding? Come on! Remember the
old gal who spilled a cup of McDonald's
coffee in her lap and sued for
a zillion bucks? Or the gal who burned her
lip with a hot pickle slice
from Burger King? Or the lady in a wheelchair
who, while crossing the
street against a traffic light was hit by a car and
she sued the
wheelchair manufacturer?And they all won lawsuits? I and no
doubt
millions of others have boiled H20 in the micro with no
untoward
effects.
What the hell ever became of common
sense?
