Can you boil a water in paper cup?
The boiling point of water is 100 degrees. However, the point at which paper burns is much higher than 100 degrees. When you boil water in a paper cup, all of the heat is transferred to the water, not the cup. When the water starts to boil, the paper stays unburnt. After the water has boiled through, there should be a small black mark on the base of the cup which can be easily removed.
