What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The Pot Minder is a small ceramic disc you drop into the bottom of a pot. As water or another liquid nears a boil, the disc starts to rattle, so you can hear that the pot is heating up without watching it. It also changes the size and number of the bubbles rising to the top, which helps keep the pot from boiling over. The ceramic is heat treated, non-porous, and fully vitrified, so it shouldn't change the taste or smell of your food. It's a good fit for someone with low vision, or anyone who wants a sound cue and a little help avoiding boil-over messes at the stove.
