Yes, honey can cause a jar to explode if it ferments and produces gases. This typically happens when the honey contains water or if it is stored in a warm environment, allowing yeast to grow and ferment the sugars in the honey. To prevent this, make sure to store honey in a cool, dry place and avoid introducing water into the jar.

When a jar of honey is left unstirred for a long time solid crystals of honey form on the bottom of the jardescribe a method for returning the honey to a sreadable from without having to open the jar?

The solid crystals in the jar is formed when moisture in the air mixes with the honey. In order to get into a spreadable form again you will have to gently heat the jar until the crystals melt. Due to the heating of the jar you will produce pressure inside the jar so you will need to loosen the lid to let out the pressure and the moisture.

How do you decrystallize honey?

Heat the honey slowly by placing your honey bear or honey jar into a bath of warm/hot water. Never put the honey in the microwave. You can burn the honey and cause it to take on a bad flavor. I sometimes put the jar of honey in dishwasher, but that may be getting it too hot depending on your dishwasher. I measured my dishwasher temperature at 120 °F.


What to do if honey crystallizes?

If your honey crystallizes, you can easily re-liquify it by gently heating the jar in a pan of hot water, stirring while heating. Do not overheat as heat may alter flavor and color as a result of carmelization of the sugars source: http://homecooking.about.com/od/foodstorage/a/honeystorage.htm


What would happen if you poured boiling water into a jar?

Glass is a great conductor of heat but it doesn't hold it long. If you were to stick 212o (Fahrenheit) water into a glass jar it would begin bringing the glass jar to the same temperature as the water on the inside very quickly (equilibrium). It also begins building pressure, so If a lid is on the jar it could potentially explode the jar sending boiling liquid and glass shards everywhere.
