This idea is based upon the old adage: "A watched pot never boils....." In this case an eye tracking camera (sensing IR retroreflection) can tell when the pot is actually under scrutiny, and accordingly lower the burner temperature sufficient to prevent boiling. First in a series of products designed
to encourage popular superstitions.

Thank you [xenzag] - I was certain that those had been called "Pot Watchers" and I wasted an hour and a half last night looking for them. |

how about you do this for the kettle instead. I know it doen't quite fit the old saying, but makes for a more practical, practical joke. |

Can this pot also sense kettles in the vicinity and call them black? |

mole, I have never done this, but in respect to Bris' drawing, and the very obvious fact that this idea is very halfbaked, even deserving of a place on Bris' mantle of drawings, would you? |
