Did you know that if your pot is boiling over, you can simply blow on it and it will simmer down long enough for you to turn the heat down or remove the pot? I assumed everyone knew this but the last two people I've mentioned it to had no idea. I use the trick quite often when boiling pasta or potatoes. Rachel Ray lays a wooden spoon across her pasta pot to prevent it from boiling over. I tried it and that works too!

Great advice! Alton Brown from Food network also recommends adding a little olive oil to boiling noodles, the coating of oil on top of the water apparently prevents it from boiling over.
