Chef Design Ceramic Pot Minder, Set of 2

My pasta and potatoes don’t boil over. There is no change in food taste. It stays clean. Don’t know how it works but the results are excellent.

We managed to break the glass pot minder I had used for 30 years. These ceramic discs look more durable and certainly work well. Here's to 30 year's use!

Great product

Easy to use

I use these all the time when cooking pasta or anything where the pot/ water might overflow and it works every time! Wouldn’t cook without them!

OK, I have to admit, I feel silly writing a review about a puck of ceramic. But this JBK Pottery 10003 Chef Design ceramic pot minder actually works. We use it in our spaghetti pot (under the strainer basket). Since we started using it, there have been no boil-overs!Before we started using this, we had tried all of the usual techniques to prevent a spaghetti pot from boiling over. We tried vast quantities of olive oil, blowing on it, stirring it, adding salt, and changing the "order of operations". The olive oil kind of worked but made the noodles slippery. Stirring it and blowing on it work, but have to maintain a constant vigil.Now we just drop in the little smiling chef and 11 minutes later we have nicely cooked noodles (stirring once to prevent clumping).So the question folks may be asking is, "would a rock from out in the yard work better?" I don't know; after several decades of fighting with spaghetti, this little chef has won.Scott

I found the most gorgeous tea kettle, but it didn't have a whistling function. I searched for something that could be added to the spout to make it whistle, but found nothing. Then I came across this item, and now I use it in my pretty kettle.I wish it were loud enough to be heard around the corner in my living room, so I still have to be in the kitchen to hear it rattle, but it's still better than forgetting about your boiling water.

When other family members cook pasta or rice, I get to clean up the stove top for days after as the cook often walks away resulting in the pot bubbling over. With the pot minder my job is easier and there is almost no stove top cleanup.
