I'm kind of a big kettle. It takes time to get boiled, but then I'm always hot.

As you heat the planet up, it's just like boiling a pot.

We boil at different degrees.

Three things about water affect almost all of cooking. First are the hydrogen bonds, which is why it has an incredibly high boiling point. Another is that it's a polar molecule, so that it dissolves a lot of things, and there are things that won't mix with it. And then there's how much energy it takes to heat water.

When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to lift off the air from the surface of the liquid and push it back en masse.

A nuclear power reactor is just a fancy way of boiling water.

We're just a bubble in a boiling pot.

I drank some boiling water because I wanted to whistle.

If you put a frog in boiling water, it'll jump straight out. If you put it in cold water and gradually bring it to the boil, it'll sit right there until it dies. Scotland has been sitting in England's gradually boiling water for so long that many people are used to it.

Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren't proper words for communicating what should be done with it.
