Prevent Boil-Overs in the Kitchen with New Kuhn Rikon Spill STOPPER, Highly Recommended by the Chez Peachy Panel of Whom You Know

A watched pot never boils, but turn your back for a minute, and it's all over the stove! Not now! This trick will keep things running smoothly in the kitchen, and on the stove. Some wonderful people in Germany have invented a logical solution to the common problem of overflowing pots. Now it's safe to put on the pasta, and enjoy a cocktail before dinner. Just be sure to wash the "lid" in soapy water before you use it. Bizarre, when you think about it, because it's such a simple concept. And the center "flower" is removable, to control the boil. It sits comfortably on top of any pot, whether the size be smaller or not, and performs it's magic. Just remember: keep the pasta al dente!

This Spill Stopper by Kuhn Rikon has to be my new favorite kitchen accessory. I am always boiling water for rice or pasta and hate always having to stand over to make sure the water doesn't boil over. With this Spill Stopper, I don't have to worry about leaving the pot to attend something else. I love the sleek, flexible design. It's very easy to clean. I love that it could be used as a lid as well. I love mine so much, I am planning on purchasing the smaller version for my smaller pots. This would make the perfect gift for the cook in your life. I know I plan on purchasing several as gifts. 

Need to stop spills from happening from your pot while cooking? Well guess what - the Spill Stopper is what you've been looking for. This acts as not only a lid for your pot but helps prevent spill overs. Now I don't have to worry when I'm boiling pasta that the water will spill over. The Spill Stopper comes in different colors which makes for a fun looking kitchen. I love using this lid while I'm not able to stand over the pot and watch it boil. I was a bit skeptical but once I used it I couldn't believe it really worked. I didn't have a mess to clean off the stove! 

When I first received this, I wasn't sure what it was. I honestly thought it was some weird vegetable steamer, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I was wrong. I am challenged in the kitchen, and this Spill Stopper is the greatest thing ever! It stated it going to prevent the messy spill over when cooking and it actually does that. I tried it on a stove top and in the microwave oven and worked in both situations. It is also very easy to clean. It comes in bright colors and stores easily. This product is great for everyone from those challenged in the kitchen (like me) to the gourmet chef. It is the kitchen tool you didn't know you actually really needed. Go buy one... NOW!
