Anti boil over gadget

**Christophe Mineau** · Sep 7, 2018, 09:38 AM

Hi,
Yet another idea found on Pinterest, here is a small gadget made out of wood, to prevent pasta water from over flowing !

The first model is the same design as the one I found on Pinterest, it has the shape of a moose :

The second is a personal design, it represents the cook who inadvertently fell into the pot and who tries to escape

If you ever want to make the same, I provide te pattern drawings I made : (svg files, print them with Inkscape)
The moose
The man

That is neat. An excuse to limber up my scrollsaw chops this weekend. (and make some pasta!)

Same here. My wife's making pasta this evening.

So, I'll have to make her one soon.

Chris, this is a very good and timely project for me, as my daughter is into anything moose. She loves moose art! Thanks for the idea sir!
