     The information is correct regardless of the story that illuminates it.
     It is absolutely safer to boil water in a kettle. It is also necessary
     to include a good conductor of heat to help dissipate the energy in the
     event that the microwave heats higher than the boiling temperature. As
     soon as the cup is shaken the heat will cause the water to overboil
    violently.

     I wondered if I should have forwarded something to the ring since I never
    had before. Sorry about that, but I did think it was something to think
    about. I never heat water to the point of boiling, but only for 1 minute. I
    guess some people do and if the warning saves one person then I think it was
    worth it.
