TheOaf66 replied: I always thought when someone said "you could screw up a pot of boiling water" that it was a joke...I stand corrected

mummy2girls replied:
actually its pretty easy to because some people forget theya re boiling water abnd it just evaporates out and your left with a wrecked pot

TheOaf66 replied: I personally would realize after awhile that I had a pot of boiling water on the stove...it would take about 1-2 hrs to totally evaporate...but that is just me

mummy2girls replied:
if its a small pot no.. because i have done this before...
