No, of course we don’t microwave the mug WITH the teabag in it. We microwave the teabag separately.

Brother it takes 3 minutes to boil water in the microwave. I have done this without fail.
It cools down much faster though. Not sure how that works.
It doesn’t cool down faster. That makes no sense.
Listen I can’t prove it, but I swear on my mother it does
It may appear that way if it was unevenly heated, causing pockets of boiling water surrounded by comparatively cool water. This would make it look like it’s boiling, but then, when mixed, it is then much cooler than if heated by a kettle that relies on convection to mix the water.
You can prove it by boiling the water in different ways, putting a thermometer inside and then filming/timing it :D
Because only some of the water boils, not all of it.
My microwave must be really weak then. The kettle is still faster though
It definitely depends on the microwave. In my office, one boils a mug in 2:20, while the other requires over 3 min
