Watch the pot boil!

Another cool overkill use of technology. Rather than wait for the pot to boil downstairs, I pointed the webcam at it, went upstairs, zoomed in on it, and when it starts boiling I run downstairs to put in the spaghet. Bull Mancuso would be proud!

I guess they were wrong about how a watched pot never boils. Or at least there is a clause about WiFi not applying to the rule.

How do you see INSIDE the pot? You need an overhead cam, doncha?

Sue, excellent point.

If you were to see the picture "live" you could see the steam rising from the top.

And if the pot were boiling over you'd see that too.

Mickeleh, the usual, meatballs in tomato gravy.
