    Sigh, amusing but really unnecessary effort.

    1. use a lid. Water boils significantly faster with one!
    2. buy a $5 pot minder, it’ll make noise when the pot starts boiling

    There done.

      I thought pot minders were little ceramic things you put in pots to stop starchy foods from boiling over?

        I’m not so sure about the boilover bit. But the primary purpose is that they trap bubbles underneath which causes it to rattle like crazy when the water is boiling.
