That’s far too low tech and easy, gramps.
Jokes on you I use my in house spying tech to translate my words using machine learning and generative AI in order to set a timer.

This pot costs $200 by the way
Wuh? What brand is it?
I think it’s called hexclad
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.
So much money so Teflon can leech into your food. Gimme some old CI and keep your crummy nonstick
700 for the 6pc (+ lids) set… Not as bad as OP made it seem.
Sigh, amusing but really unnecessary effort.
- use a lid. Water boils significantly faster with one!
- 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.
Does your face also need to be visible to the water, for this to work?
Actually makes it worse. The watch pot never boils.
It’s “a watched pot never boils.”
How did you fuck that up so badly?
Budget cuts.
Nah, it’s « A watched boil never pops. »
American education and a mother who was poor and never heard that originally saying on her farm
Yes, it’s mostly an intimidation thing
Ah - The CarTalk method, but with staring down instead of talking.
lol
I’m impressed the water has its own phone to facetime people with.
Maybe he is FaceTiming it from his Apple TV
Or his iPad or Mac
Smh all these people giving their water phones instead of stepping up and being a parent 😔
Water without anything in it doesn’t boil over
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.
Until it suddenly does, and violently if actually superheated.
It’s not becoming super heated in an open pot.
Thankfully
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.

That’s what the impurities are for

Recall the rule of quantum imaging.
But who took the picture of the phone pointed at the water?
That would be the fridge.
Your phone is a small TV 🤦
Why is he just boiling pots of water on the stove? Shouldn’t there be some kind of food in the water? It looks like it’s already boiling, what is he waiting for?
I hope he posts the video of the phone tipping over and going into the boiling water
Maybe he is purifying water because of a water main leak. Did you ever consider that?
Not really. I feel like if he couldn’t stand in the kitchen for 5 minutes for water to boil then he’d probably go stay at a hotel if there was an actual water main leak
15 minutes. You’re supposed to boil the water for 15 minutes during a boil water advisory
You wouldn’t last a day dude.
You’re right, the guy video conferencing with a pot of water while he sits on the other side of the house watching cartoons is clearly a survivalist of the highest order. I’m sure he’ll outlive us all
And he’ll be comfortable as fuck doing so
If he has to go to this much trouble to boil one small pot of water then I doubt he’ll be that comfortable.
Lots of things need to go into already boiling water to cook properly. Pasta for one. Depending on the rice and the texture you’re going for, that can be better cooked by adding it to already boiling water. This is the same thing as preheating your frying pan or oven.
Why would he need to film it then? Water by itself doesn’t boil over.
He watched TV. It’s easy to miss the time while doing something engaging, by a lot, up to tens of minutes. So he dropped a facetime window over his TV screen, I guess? Or onto another phone he has at hand?
I think that he did that post because it’s silly and didn’t put more effort than it needs.
This is the real question.
That’s an expensive pot, I’ve seen those hex pattern ones before.
they’re like $10 at Walmart
The first (known, at least,) webcam monitored a coffee pot.
For basically the same reason: they were too lazy to check and see if the coffee pot was full.
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…
Electric water cookers apparently don’t work so well on 110V
It’s called a fucking kettle
I couldn’t remember the word, in Dutch it’s called a ‘water koker’, which literally translates to water cooker, so I just used that
Ok, now I feel bad
They work fine. Not sure if they’re slower or something but it’s not really a problem.
water cookers
I like my water raw thank you very much
Me too, raw water is certainly the tastiest
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.

But how do I boil with it?
Serious question. What the fuck is a gallon?
About 4l give or take iirc?
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.
Sounds like you need a nice unit between 3 and 4 liters hmm.
if it works it’s not stupid 😅
