I once dated a girl who swore that I was "stupid for waiting for hot water from the tap to boil the stove because using cold water is faster."

Just kidding. I never dated her. She was a roommate. I'm forever alone.

>she replies saying the kettle boiled water stays hot longer

I hate to be the cum dumpster's advocate, but the kettle will get hot which will keep its contents hot longer than a cool microwave safe container.

Why on earth would you microwave water?

If you make it warm enough, much higher than boiling temp, water can be very fun.

I usually boil the damn coffee/cocoa/milk/piss directly in the microwafe. I don't boil just the water

>boiling water in a microwave
That's just unpractical and basically a huge mess waiting to happen.

>>3262444
> That's what she said.

>>3262382
Believe it or not, cold water boils faster than hot water because it requires more power to boil; the same with how hot water freezes faster than cold water (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect).

However warm/hot water requires less time to boil, like how cold water requires less time to freeze. So take this as you will.

>Drinking water from a hot water heater.

>>3262486
Thank you, I understand. :)

In England we have kettles with a power rating too high for your colonial sockets.

Enjoy steam blowing up in your face when you drop sugar in the water because you superheated it faggot.

Nah but seriously why the fuck wouldn;t you use a kettle, it shuts off when its done and its convinient, better than guessing with a microwave and then burning yourself picking it up.

>microwaving water
>using said sullied water to make your tea
you collonial pests clearly know nothing of the art of tea making

>>3262651
and you brits use boiling water for your tea. 90c

>>3262382
Cold water is better; it has fewer dissolved particles in it. But yeah it takes longer.

Stopped reading right there. Fuck off.

I hope you guys don't seriously do this

>didn't take middle school science
Do they just abolish science classes altogether in America now?

I never thought about using the microwave. I suppose thats what they want though. The manufacturer needs everyone to just assume they should buy a kettle.

How do you even boil it in the microwave?
with a pot with a lid so it doesnt splash everwhere? do you have a special container? How do you know how long to put it in for? It would vary by how much water i suppose.

That sounds like more effort tbh. With the kettle you can judge better how much water you need since it has the measurement on the side. and you dont need to do it multiple times if you miss timed it.

how to avoid this?

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

>doesn't know how to differentiate between rates and length
I seriously hope you don't do this.

>>3263334

I guys seriously this don't do hope you.

My kettle heats ~1L of water in 2-3 minutes.
My microwave heats ~300mL of water in ~4.5 minutes.

My Kettle is stainless steel and is ~90-95C 20 minutes later.
My tea cup is glass and is 80C 10 minutes later.

>doesn't know of super heating

>>3263337


lol ur dum

He said the rate at which (faster) cold water boils is higher than the rate at which hot water boils.

He then said the rate at which (less time) hot water boils is higher than the rate at which cold water boils.

Faster = less time

when dealing with rates.

>>3262411
to make it hot. Have you ever seen a microwave oven?

You use the microwave to boil water?

>faggot detected

>>3262721

That's how to make a proper cup of tea, dickwad

>>3263349
However, I use an electric kettle. Results may vary.

And even if I heat ~300mL of water in the kettle, it takes longer to cool than in a cup from the microwave.

>>3263378
195 F. is optimum temperature.

>>3263364
kettle is more convenient and practical

>>3262651
China just called:
"British tea tasted like sewage."

>>3263393

>uses Fahrenheit

>>3263356
That's not how rates and lengths work in science and mathematics, you're comparing power and speed with total time amounts.

>>3263395

>kettle is more convenient

I want my cup of coffee.

1 cup of water.
Put coffee and sugar in it.
Microwave it for 60 seconds.

BAM!

>>3263393
Blanket statement. It varies greatly depending on the tea and requires experimentation. Some black teas are best when prepared with full boiling water.

>Profit

>>3263425
yeah with shitty instant coffee

>>3263356
Uh, no. Faster doesn't equal less time, time is just a result and by-product of the rate. Faster would be the speed at which the matter of the liquid is moving at, and not the time it takes to do so. And if you're talking about how different temperatures end up using more power than one-another, then they're going to result into different impacts and speed of the reactions from such energies.

>microwave water

Have fun with it exploding

>implying his dumbshit ass room mate didnt mean faster = less time

/sci/ I am disappoint

>boiling water for tea

queen fucking savages

My mom doesn't like water boiled in the microwave for tea, because she says the tea gets "scummy"

the last time i had the need for hot water (aside from shower/washing) was like 15 years ago, fuck you brits and your tea, have some cold beers like a real man.

>>3264005

>cold beer

faggot

ITT: a lot of people don't know about mpemba

don't make your tea directly in a cup. the finer flavours are in the more volatile compounds that vapourise and leave the cup when you pour in boiling water. if you make your tea in the teapot (with a lid, obviously) they re-condense inside the pot and remain in the tea, which leaves you with a nicer cuppa.

>>3264005

so you never eat pasta or rice then?

>>3266730
Real men eat raw food.

your face when? Why not just fucking test it.. she migpht learn something

>heating up water in a microwave

that is fucking retarded. mainly because you need to go to all the effort of getting a container to put the water in.

>>3266744
sounds like the kind of person who wouldnt pay much attention to the results anyway

>>3266748
Exactly. OP thinks he's smart because he knows the science behind it. he doesn't realise that even though the microwave is faster, his idea is still stupid
