How dangerous is it to boil water in a conventional oven and take it out?

Boiling water in a conventional oven is extremely inefficient, but doing so does not involve any more danger than boiling water on the stove top. Boiling water in certain kinds of smooth glass or ceramic containers in a microwave oven can be extremely dangerous.


Can you boil frozen spareribs?

Of course. Simply put them in water and bring to a boil. Cook until they are tender and mostly done. THen you can cook them in the oven or on a grill. They are delicious with bar-b-q sauce or teriyaki sauce or any other kind of sauce you prefer.


How long do you put water in a microwave to get it to 175 degrees Fahrenheit?

That's going to depend on the cooking power of the microwave oven, the amount of water, the shape of the container it's in, exactly where inside the oven it's placed, or if the oven has a rotating turntable, the speed at which it rotates.


Does the size of a solar oven effect the heat?

Yes, the larger the surface area of the solar collectors (either focused reflectors or concentrating lenses), the more solar energy is put into the oven. Same thing for a magnifying glass in the hot sun -- the larger the magnifying glass, the hotter the focused spot of sunlight will be. However, if you are talking about the size of the oven itself (for example an oven that can cook one dish compared an oven for 100 loaves of bread), then clearly the larger the oven, the more energy you need to heat it. So the larger the oven part itself, the lower the heat for the same size reflectors. But usually large ovens have large solar collectors for this reason.


Does it use less electricity to boil a cup of water in a microwave oven or a kettle?

It probably Depends on the amount of water you need to boil. A small amount of water, such as the cup suggested in the question, is probably much more efficient to heat in the microwave, since it's energy is specifically targeted at the rotational energy of water molecules. Be careful of superheating. This is when the water actually heats higher than boiling point but does not bubble. Any "shock" to the system, such as putting in a spoon, will cause the water to bubble suddenly. The risk of superheating increases the cleaner the water is. Distilled water will superheat almost every time, while tap water will usually not, due to minerals that naturally occur in most water.

Can water boil in a solar oven?

Since water is transparent it does not absorb sunlight well, however, you could heat the container that the water is in (especially if it is an opaque container, not a glass container) and then the heated container would heat the water. A solar oven can easily produce enough heat to boil water. If you are not careful it might produce too much heat, and melt the pot.
