[ Chemistry ] Open Question : Hummingbird nectar in microwave?
On a website I read: "NEVER USE A MICROWAVE to heat your sugar solution. Microwaves heat the sugars hotter than boiling water and this breaks down the molecules ? no longer suitable as hummingbird food."
How does a microwave break down the molecules? I've been using the microwave to heat up the sugar solution for months now. Is it true? Thanks!
