Boiling with the lid on does what?

"and boiling water with the lid on wears out the pot." Link? This seems ridiculous. I'll delete it if no one has anything to say about it...

Boiling curve

There should be something more on the detail of the boiling curve (flux v temperature) in the region between nucleate and film boiling. (I think this is not an unstable region if the right experiment is done). The Departure from Nucleate Boiling, where the flux curve starts to turn over, is also very important technically.

adding salt/sugar

Maybe adding salt raises the boiling point only slightly, but sugar is another matter. A saturated sugar solution boils at far above 100 degrees celsius. Cbdorsett 07:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does boling filtered tap water kill the Floride in it?

Does boling filtered tap water kill the Floride in it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.206.213 (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot kill what is not alive. Fluoride is a chemical compound (actually several -- see water fluoridation) and is not inactivated by boiling. It is also not toxic or harmful in the quantities used in municipal water fluoridation, although some natural water supplies contain (much, much higher) harmful quantities of fluoride. --FOo (talk) 01:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
