Kitchen Gadgets: Ceramic Pot Minder

For my second installment of highlighting my favorite kitchen gadgets, I remind you of a common problem.  While a watched pot may never boil...run around the corner to grab something at it just might Boil Over.  I've turned to face a spitting, frothy, angry pot more than a few times.  Enter the Pot Minder.  Another shout out to my Mom for a fun stocking stuffer. 

How does it work?  Simply place the 2" diameter ceramic disk into a pot of water prior to boiling...and it won't boil over!!  I looked this one up and its under 4.00.  Brilliant.
