Twitter user, Justin Hill, posted a hack for the tedious act of watching water boil while making pasta. 。

Tweet may have been deleted。

Justin said he got the idea when he wanted to watch television and not waste time in the kitchen waiting for water to boil. He decided to FaceTime his wife’s phone which could focus on the water while he focused on TV.  。
