It's aluminum, and I have seen it first hand. My brother is not attentive... He almost burned the house down a couple times.

Those coil heaters put out a lot of heat at full power. Once all the water evaporates, that heat raises the temperature of the pan very quickly.

Don't set a pot to boil and then go do something else in a different room, especially if that something else is playing age of empires.

But if you watch it, it won't boil?

Keep it in your peripheral but don't stare directly.

"A watched pot never boils over" is the full saying.
