Anti–Boil Over Clip
What's this?
Looks like brass knuckles gone metal–detector–safe in a nice 21st–century plastic iteration.
But it's not.
From the website:
- Over Boil Clip
Boil pasta, vegetables or potatoes and walk away without worry.
The 5/8" height adds just the right amount of space to let steam escape... no more bubbling messes.
Dishwasher safe Dupont nylon.
Fits all pots!
********************
"Over Boil Clip?"
Weird.
Maybe it's been translated from the Japanese.
Tell you what: I know about ten people who should wear one of these around their neck on a chain, they're so prone to putting stuff on their stoves and then forgetting about it.
Ah, the smells of burning Teflon and scorched aluminum bring back so many memories....
$2.99 here (pot, lid and stove not included).

Is it me, or could you just put a wooden spoon in between the lid and pot and get the same effect.....for free!

Not a chance. I cook pasta with no lid on it at all and still manage to boil it over regularly.
