Flipping Heck !

[F Body]

Management has just blown up the Kitchen

Sat at the Computer and there was a loud band and everything exploded

She was making some hot chocolate for the girls and after microwaving the milk poured it into a plastic shaker.

Put the lid on and boom !!!!

Everything in the kitchen is covered in hot chocolate , even the ceiling

She's currently running her hands under the cold tap becuase they look very red as in burnt. If they start to blister I'll have to take her up to the hospital

[F Body]

Don't worry I escaped unscathed becuase I was sat behind her

[FUBAR]

bliimin 'eck!  hope she's ok...

[F Body]

She's still under the cold water at the moment, just belive that one jug of hot milk can go so far
Only me and the computer seem to has escaped the splatter zone

[Rob]

Hope management is ok...

Don't cry over spilt milk

[F Body]

Management seems to be OK

She's currently holding an Ice Cream tub out of the freezer but it looks like her hands are not going to blister.

Bugger that was the last of the Hot Chocolate

Fek, It's all go in the F-Body house.

Bloody ell glad to hear no serious permenant injuries mate.....

It's taken hours to clean up the sticky mess, Managements hands are a little tender but OK.
She say's all she did was pour hot milk from the microwave into a plastic shaker with Galaxy Hot chocolate power in it ?
She pushed the lid on whilst it was on the draining board, didn't have time to pick it up and the lid just blew off and the contents exploded all over the kitchen
Never seen anything like it before in my life

She reakons that I didn't get hit by any because the Devil looks after his own - I couldn't comment

Very lucky indeed that she didn't pick it up by the sound of it.....

Here's the likely cause:

Superheating

In physics, superheating (sometimes referred to as boiling retardation, or boiling delay) is the phenomenon in which a liquid is heated to a temperature higher than its standard boiling point, without actually boiling. This can be caused by rapidly heating a homogeneous substance while leaving it undisturbed (so as to avoid the introduction of bubbles at nucleation sites).

Because a superheated liquid is the result of artificial circumstances, it is metastable, and is disrupted as soon as the circumstances abate, leading to the liquid boiling very suddenly and violently (a steam explosion). Superheating is sometimes a concern with microwave ovens, some of which can quickly heat water without physical disturbance. A person agitating a container full of superheated water by attempting to remove it from a microwave could easily be scalded.

Superheating is common when a person puts an undisturbed cup of water into the microwave and heats it. Once finished, the water appears to have not come to a boil. Once the water is disturbed, it violently comes to a boil. This can be simply from contact with the cup, or the addition of substances like instant coffee or sugar, which could result in hot scalding water shooting out. The chances of superheating is more common with smooth containers, such as brand-new glassware that lacks any scratches (scratches can house small pockets of air, which can serve as a nucleation point).

Rotating dishes in modern microwave ovens can also provide enough perturbation to prevent superheating.

There have been some injuries by superheating water, such as when a person makes instant coffee and adds the coffee to the superheated water[1]. This sometimes results in an "explosion" of bubbles. There are some ways to prevent superheating in your microwave, such as putting a popsicle stick in the glass, or having a scratched container to boil the water in.

yeah that was my thinking, but only ever heard of it with water though

Quoting: Wikipedia

Milk and water with starch content does not boil over because of superheating, but because of extreme foam build up. This foam is stabilised by special substances in the liquids and therefore does not burst.

Ahh, Wikipedia . . . . An answer for everything.
