That's why I always use my microwave when I can. I have a container from Pampered Chef for vegetables and I can even drain excess water from it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cindy" <popularplace@xxxxxxxxx>

I agree, Jamei, and I find it fascinating to learn about these things. I must add, though, it's necessary to pay attention, whether one is sighted or not. My husband, a supposedly intelligent man (phd) has burnt the bottom out of at least two saucepans when steaming veggies because he's been distracted (not that I was any help, not notcing what he was doing until I smelled that horrid burnt veggie-pan smell. I myself in the past allowed water to boil out of takettles and burnt holes in the bottom.CindyWish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites belowWish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+ListBooks Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List--- On Fri, 1/1/10, Jamie Yates, CPhT <mirxtech@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:From: Jamie Yates, CPhT <mirxtech@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT: how to detect boiling water To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, January 1, 2010, 10:13 AM So you DO hear the boiling. I will have to listen for this the next time I boil water. Not that I do it often. Are there talking candy thermometers for candy? I haven't made candy in over 10 years but I remember impatiently waiting for the thermometer to rise to the correct temperature. Everyone here always seems so competent and independent that I never think about how you do things or how you might not be able to do something. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Who Do I Talk To? by Neta JacksonEarn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.htmlTo unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
