<p>Greetings!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I can't tell from this what putting the spoon on top of the mouth
of the kettle has to do with knowing when the thing boils. What
am I missing?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for any info.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">(Some of you
may already know both of these techniques.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Yes, here
are to common sense alternatives\u2026 and these work for sighted
people too! Bet you have the items needed are already in
your kitchen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">--Preventing
a kettle from boiling over. it works every time:;this works
on all sizes of kettles<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">-Step1- fill
the kettle with water: as full as you want; you will not be
using the kettles lid. Note- this may work for any liquid;
I\u2019ve not needed to try.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">-Step2-
Place the kettle on the burner and turn up the heat to
\u201cHOT\u201d; as high as it goes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">-Step3 Right
after turning up the heat, place a wooden spoon across the
mouth of the kettle; position the spoon so that it is
basically dividing the kettle in two equal halves. Note: you
can add in your food item at whatever time which is
recommended for the dish you are preparing; before it starts
to boil or any time later. If you take the spoon off to add
in your food stuff, and/or to stir, remember to replace it
to finish the boiling<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">-Step4- Set
a timer. For example- I love hard boiled eggs. And so I set
my timer for 15 minutes. And hey, the timer needs to be your
signal to come and pull the kettle off the burner , remove
the spoon and drain your kettle. And if you space off the
timing, your water will all boil away and your food stuff
will start to burn!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">--Easy and
very complete removal of Pet hair: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Step1- Put on a pair of rubber gloves! The
type people use to wash dishes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Step2- Figuring out your method for
cleaning the area you want to make free from hair: for
Example: a couch- Think about this\u2026 you are going to use your
hands which now are covered with a rubbery glove which has a
techture that when dragged across the fabric of your couch, it
will catch hair and drag it to whereever it is that you are
wanting to collect a pile of hair, prior to when it is that
you wish to pick up that stack, and drop it into a paper sack
or some container. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another tactic I will employ, is to have a
glove on one had and as I swipe my gloved hand through an
area, I\u2019ll clean the hair off that gloved hand with the bare
hand. <o:p></o:p></p>
