Tip: Have you ever melted pump or bottle parts when boiling them? (I have!) Try this:

When boiling items such as pump or bottle parts, put a couple of glass marbles into the pot and stay within earshot. If the water level gets low and the pot is about to boil dry, the marbles will start bouncing and clattering in the pan and alert you in time.
