I think we discussed this once before but - please describe how you determine that the water is boiling. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Some have said that the first bubbles of air that appear are boiuling and thus had erronious measurements. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> The first air starts to bubble out at around 80 degrees centigrade. You must wait until the steam lifts the lid off your pot to call it "boiling" as used by others. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
