How to boil water

Well Saucy is amazingly busy today, so as any good Bestie would do I said I would cover for her.  I didn't tell her it would be anything exceptional or wowing though.  Just in case I couldn't pull off anything exceptional or wowing. Make sure you leave Saucy a note below to let her know you are thinking of her and her crazy life!  She could use the good words!  Now onto the nonexceptional and nonwowoing recipe!

How to Boil Water
(seriously, had to teach my Residents this)

Ingredients

• water
• salt (optional)

Directions

1. Open your cupboard or wherever it is you store your cookware.
2. Locate a 12-quart stockpot. If you do not have a 12-quart stockpot, you may use whatever size pot you have; in that event, keep in mind that serving size here is 1 cup and there are 4 cups in a quart. Do the math.
3. Place your pot in the sink under the tap. If you have never used a sink before, it is the large depression in your counter top. (If you live with someone else, they may have filled it with dirty dishes; in this case, wash them or simply remove them from the sink and place them in the oven — someone else will eventually discover them there and wash them.).
4. Turn the cold-water knob to the "on" position. Some people (like my dad) prefer to let the water run a little bit. This is optional but encouraged — if it's a hot day or someone has previously used the "hot" water knob, the warmer water will eventually be replaced by truly cold water.
5. Fill stockpot to within a couple inches of the rim.
6. Lift stockpot from sink and transfer to stove. (Although appearances may vary, the stove is the thing with 4 or more circular metal bands on top of it; alternately, it may be a completely flat black glass surface. If you are unsure, ask your family, roommate, or neighbor for guidance.).
7. Find knob on stove that corresponds to the "burner" you have placed your pot on. In addition to words like "Right Front" or "Left Rear," there are usually little pictures near the knobs to indicate position.
8. Turn knob to "High" and wait until water boils. Depending on strength of your stove and amount of water, the boiling time may vary. Note: DO NOT WATCH THE POT; it will never boil in the event that you do.
9. Boiled water may be used for any number of applications. Serve hot but do not drink.
