We very rarely have pasta or rice boil over Howard --- we don't have the lid on all that tight - & only have it sat on a medium gas heat --- maybe that's the answer ... Or we're just very watchful ... Sue Thinking - this mail aint half tempting fate .. :-))) ... Liz, It's one of the laws of Dear Mother Nature. No matter how watchful you are, it is NOT possible to boil pasta - or rice - without it boiling over! As for cleaning the burnt result off a ceramic or glass hob... Bron has a gadget with a razor blade in it and she pushes this at the mess to 'slice' it off. Howie
