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've tried it. It tasted weird and I felt like I'd committed a crime.
Apparently microwaving affects levels of dissolved oxygen in the water, which may affect flavour, but I don't know
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.
