Anti-Overboil

 Stove senses overboil, automatically shuts off

I HATE when stoves overboil, and when they do, they can cause a chain reaction of bad events. I'd like it if there was some sort of moisture sensor (two electrodes) that would shut off the stove if moisture was detected in various places. Maybe a little moisture sensor that clips onto the pot with a wire connecting to the stove that shuts the stove off if the water level rises enough.

       Gas stoves work this way. Shuts the heat off, anyway. The gas continues to hiss.

       Turn the heat down, nothing needs to be cooked that high.

       We have a universal pot lid made of glass, that has a small hole in it that lets out the excess steam, and the cooking never boils over!

       Someone should churn that floppy disc windscreen scraper idea, but eight years is still pretty good.

       Use the microwave. Most of them now have sensors to avoid overcooking.
