16. Same (about waiting for water to boil, that is)

My solution was to fill up a whistling tea kettle, put it on the burner, and do something else until it started sounding off. Then, pour the water from the kettle to the pot I was using. On the one occasion I needed more than one kettle's worth of water, I just set the pot to simmer, filled up the kettle again, and repeated the process.
