Is there a difference between microwaved water and stove boiled water?”
Water heated in a pan heats evenly. The heat is applied from the bottom along the one of the surfaces of the cylinder of water. Natural convextion currents create a stiring action that ensures that the temperature varience is very slight. When water boils the temperature of the water is essentially helt at the boiling point until the boiling process is halted. When water is microwaved, the microwaves affect the water molecules in almost randomly chosen locations in the 3 dimensional volume of the water. The microwaves waves coming in from many diverse angles and affecting many different points within the volume of water, stimulate the water molecules to vibrate and essential create heat from microscopic friction. However, these points of heat generation are not uniform and therefore the water is heated very quickly and in a very randomn, non uniform way. This lack of uniformity creates hot and cold spots. At any given time the water within the pot on the stove’s temerature is very clos
