    I suspect that’s some sloppy writing. I think we are being cautioned against microwaving the water with the teabag in

      Nope!

      I’m 100% against microwaving water to heat it up. And it’s completely unreasonable! But I really won’t do it at all and scoff at those that do 😁

      I’m also perfectly happy to use a microwave for any other purpose. As far as I understand, it’s actually one of the healthier methods to cook food.
