          It is. Wife insisted we have these pans about a year ago. No joke, these are the absolute best pans I’ve ever cooked with. But they were expensive.

    Wow if only there was some kind of device specifically designed to boil water for you that has a switch that automatically turns itself off once the water is boiling…

      Serious question. Is this device capable of boiling more than a gallon of water and if so, what is this device?

        Electric kettles. You can get ones with capacity of over a gallon if you really need that.

          One large milk container with handle, equals one gallon.

            I am to believe that this also could be anything. I got a large milk container with a handle but I believe it’s also 2 litres. There’s also a large milk container with a handle and that’s 3 litres. There’s also a large milk container with a handle that’s “heavy” or the weight of a small cat.

            Maybe a gallon is secretly a cat.

    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’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.

        You can’t superheat water in a pot on a stove. I don’t think you can at all with a conventional stove.

          You can do it with a conventional stove, you just need defect free pots. Also the problem is not nearly as pronounced as it is in the glass tube thingy in labs, because a pot is much wider, so there is not such a dramatic eruption.

      Tbh it doesn’t even boil at all, like trees that make no noise when falling if nobody is looking, water doesn’t boil either. It requires conscious observation, similar to photons acting as a wave until observed which then they are particles.
