how to boil water

Some great tips on how to keep the pot from boiling over:

A jar lid or a couple of marbles in the bottom half of a double-boiler will rattle when the water gets low and warn you to add more before the pan scorches or burns.

Noodles, spaghetti and other starches won't boil over if you rub the inside of the pot with vegetable oil.
