Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons;

1)Do not overheat the liquid.

2)Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3)Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4)After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
