How do you microwave pastry without going soggy?

from getting soggy when heating in your microwave, you should wrap them in a dry paper towel to absorb the moisture when they are being heated (see costs and reviews of paper towels).

Is it OK to microwave water for tea?

That's right: Research shows that zapping your favorite tea bag and a cup of water together in the microwave is the most effective way to garner the bevy of tea's benefits, and get the best taste.

Why does vinegar explode in the microwave?

It isn't common, but it can happen. Bubbles can't form on a smooth surface, so if you're microwaving liquid in a perfectly smooth container no bubbles will form (i.e. the liquid won't boil) until it is jostled. This can cause it to “explode” into boiling when you open the microwave or try to remove the bowl.

Why does milk burst while boiling?

During heating some water gets converted into water vapour. The water vapour being lighter, rises up. ... As the milk is heated further, the water vapour expands and thick foam is produced on top. Finally, the trapped vapour lifts the layer of cream up, quite like a hot air balloon, and finally bursts through this layer.

Is boiling water always 100?

The simple answer to this question is that the boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level). However, the value is not a constant. The boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure, which changes according to elevation.

Does Salt lower the boiling point of water?

Adding salt to water is going to do two things to water's physical properties: it will raise the boiling point and it will lower the specific heat. These two changes actually work against each other. Raising the boiling point will make the water boil slower.

Why does salt water boil slower?

When salt is added, it makes it harder for the water molecules to escape from the pot and enter the gas phase, which happens when water boils, Giddings said. This gives salt water a higher boiling point, she said. ... "The temperature of saltwater will get hotter faster than that of pure water," Giddings said.

Why does boiling point increase with solute?

Because the presence of solute particles decreases the vapor pressure of the liquid solvent, a higher temperature is needed to reach the boiling point. This phenomenon is called boiling point elevation. For every mole of particles dissolved in a liter of water, the boiling point of water increases by about 0.
