Chef Design Ceramic Pot Minder - Helps Prevent Boil Overs

works great

I made this purchase because I broke my wife's glass one that is over 40 years old. I enjoyed using the glass one for years. This one is ceramic. It works. It seems to work differently than the glass one. By that I mean the glass one rattled around more in the pot while cooking. The glass one is heavier and has larger raised areas. That may be the difference. I will continue using it for as long as it lasts. However, if I find a glass one, I will purchase it as well.

I bought this thinking it would never work. Well tonight I made pasta for the first time since I got it. I made a full pot of papardelle and it didn't boil over! The pot was extremely full and at a full boil. I wish I'd heard of this a long time ago. Buy one for your kitchen, you won't regret it.

Works very well.Cute chatter as the water boils.

I cook a lot of pasta and was sick of my pots boiling over. I know the spoon trick, but I have a gas stove and I don't like to leave the wood spoon near the stove. This little gadget is amazing!!!!!!!!!! My pots never boil over. I have even purchased these as gifts!

This going to be part of a gift and looking forward to giving it!

I’ve been using these for years, because my pots would boil water over every time I cooked pasta. They make great gifts to add along with other kitchen items. I ordered 2 this time , they came in 2 different shipments & both of the bags were torn open. Not a big deal if they were for me, but that doesn’t look nice giving as a gift. The one had white residue all in the plastic bag as well. They just need to upgrade the packaging, because the pot minder really does keep your pot from boiling over!

Helps to keep the pasta water from bubbling over. I guess it counters the starch in the water from the pasta.Even rattles sometimes in the pot of water. Adds excitement.
