      I have a nice electric kettle that I use for pour over coffee, but my morning tea, I just nuke a tea bag in water for a minute and a half, and move on with my morning.

      I’m great in the AM. I just want caffeine.

        You microwave the water with the tea bag already in it? At least drop the bag in after microwaving… The superheated instant boiling thing can be mitigated with basically anything in the water. Hell, my local water is hard enough to avoid it straight from the tap.

        Jokes aside, you can microwave small smooth metal vessels. Like mixing bowls and such.

        Do so at your own risk, if it doesn’t specify that it’s microwave safe.

        But you can buy ones that specifically say they are microwave safe. It just means they’re extra smooth, nowhere for charges to accumulate or concentrate. Might have something to do with it’s size too, not being resonant at 2.4ghz, but don’t quote me on that part.

        Useful if you don’t want to take leftovers out of the plastic container first, and if you’ve had glass explode on you before.
