There are other ways too.
1. Touch the pot's handle, and feel the vibrations of the water as it boils,
you um, need to have reduced the ammount of vibrations in the house, so no
running the dryer and stove at the same time if besides each other. The
harder the boil, faster and more intense the handle will vibrate.
2. There is a simple device, www.maxiaids.com calls it a Boil Alert Disk,
and www.independentliving.com calls it a Boil Alert. It is a disk of glass
or metal, that when it is placed in a pot of liquid to be boiled, will
bounce up and down, faster for a faster boil, slower for a slower boil.
Maxi Aids is metal, ILA's is glass. Both work very well, my customers
absolutely love them.
I teach all four methods. The only thing I can say for Candy, is a
thermometer. Smile.
But indeed it does stick to your hand, yuck.
