Everyone's microwave is different. Your best bet is to use a thermometer, an
instant-read is available in the kitchen gadget section of Wal-Mart for
~$5.50, because water doesn't necessarily boil at 212F in a microwave
anyway. Also, please google this group to see my posts earlier this month in
exploding water, subject: "Slightly astringent with an aftertaste," if
you haven't read them already.

In addition to whatever replies you receive here, several posts have been
made on this, formerly known as the Aria, available again by googling this
group.
