Choose a bowl that’s 1.5–2 times larger than the volume of liquid you’re heating.
Lower Power & Longer Time
Heat at 70–80% power instead of full power.
Pause and stir every 30–60 seconds for even heating.
Cover Properly
Use a microwave-safe lid or paper towel, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Stir Before and During Heating
Stirring distributes heat and prevents hotspots that cause bubbling.
Add a Wooden Spoon
Placing a wooden spoon across the top of the container can sometimes prevent liquids from boiling over.
✅ Extra Tip: Superheated liquids (like water or milk) can “explode” when disturbed. Stirring frequently and using lower power reduces this risk and prevents the microwave from a messy overflow.
