You shouldn’t microwave water though, because there’s a chance that it could be superheated to the boiling point without looking like it and that can be dangerous.
A really small chance that is only somewhat significant for distilled water and can be very easily mitigated by lightly tapping a teaspoon for a test.
I do this everyday. The danger is not knowing but it’s not really riskier than being splashed by boiling water because you poured it too hard from a kettle.
