I do this anytime making pasta and it does work, as long as you don’t have stove on high.
That’s a good point – maybe the stove was too hot. Thanks for the comment!
it says it’s for “boiling water” but the second picture looks like there was more than just water in that pot.
i do this all the time when making potatoes and pasta, i bring water to a boil but dont leave it on high reduce to a simmer. only works with water not soup or broth just water.
