Victor,
We found a wonderful measuring cup at Bed, Bath & Beyond that is plastic, and has a lid on it that whistles when the water boils. As of yet, the water has never boiled over. It holds up to 2 cups. Thanks, Tom _____ From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Victor Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2009 1:18 PM To: Blind Handyman Listserv Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Physics and Cooking Go Together Hi All you Physics Buffs, I boil my water for Tea in my microwave, and I usually leave the tea bag in the water as it's heating up. On occasion, a certain amount of water, that is very hard to gauge, triggers a boiling over of the water, to the point that I am left with little water in the cup, which is plastic, by the way, and a tonne of water on the microwave tray. I know that if one places salt in the water, this will prevent the boiling over, but is there something else that will not make my tea taste like a salt mine? Grins. Is there something in the water, or in the microwave that I can put to prevent the boiling over of the water? Any help would, of course, be appreciated.
