To be honest, the microwave thing outrages me far more than the salt thing.
But why? The water will be hot either way. Who cares how it gets that way?
I suspect that's some sloppy writing. I think we are being cautioned against microwaving the water with the teabag in
Nope!
I’m 100% against microwaving water to heat it up. And it’s completely unreasonable! But I really won’t do it at all and scoff at those that do 😁
I’m also perfectly happy to use a microwave for any other purpose. As far as I understand, it’s actually one of the healthier methods to cook food.
I mean, I don't do it either - but rationally, I can't see why it would make a different what method was used to get the water molecules ajiggling.
