這是一篇有關使用微波爐造成傷害的實例,敬請務必詳讀喔!
大網是這樣的:一個人泡即隨身杯的咖啡,他裝滿水後,一
如往昔的放入微波爐中想把水加熱,不知道他設定了幾分鐘,
只是聽當事人說,他想把水加到滾,當微波爐停止後,他把那
杯咖啡拿出來,看到水並沒有滾,但在這一瞬間,水卻濺向他
的臉,而且原本好好的杯子,就在他丟棄時也變了樣。他造成
了一至二度的灼傷,左眼喪失了部份的視力。
判斷:水在微波完畢時,其能量並還沒有全部釋放出來,可能
就在他拿出來的同時,水才達到沸點,所以杯子馬上就
變形了,他也因此受到了灼傷。

Subject: Safety tips - water heating
This is not a story, it is a sharing by one of our
employees. This is something that all of us may
do. I feel that the following is information that
any one who uses a microwave oven to heat water
should be made aware of.
About five days ago, my 26-year old son decided to
have a cup of instant coffee. He took a cup of water
and put it in the microwave to heat it up (something
that he had done numerous times before). I am not
sure how long he set the timer for but he told me he
wanted to bring the water to a boil. When the timer
shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven.
As he looked into the cup, he noted that the water
was not boiling but instantly the water in the cup
"blew up" into his face. The cup remained intact until
he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flew
out into his face due to the buildup of energy. His
whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree
burns to his face which may leave scarring. He also
may have lost partial sight in his left eye.
While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending
to him stated that this a fairly common occurrence
and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave
oven. If water is heated in this manner, something
should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy
such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc. It is
however a much safer choice to boil the water in a
tea kettle. Please pass this information on to friends
and family.
