Timer Tips
💡
Set timer when water reaches rolling boil, not when you turn on stove
💡
Test doneness at minimum time - fork should slide in easily
💡
Add 2-3 minutes for high altitude (above 3,000 feet)
💡
Large whole potatoes may need 30 minutes - use custom time
💡
Use browser notifications - walk away without losing track
