Answer 4

For your water to be boiling it needs to have many bubbles. One after another.  Hey the only dumb question is the one not asked. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Answer 5

I would wait until you get a "rolling" boil which almost makes the water look like rapids.  Then turn it down slightly.

Answer 6

It's whenever there's a lot of bubbles all over the pot. If you see one bubble, it's not done. But don't go crazy and leave it on there forever, because then the water starts to evaporate. Keep checking on it, and you'll know when it's boiling. I had the same problem before.

Answer 7

There should be lots of bubbles bubbling rapidly.

Answer 8

As long as the water is bubbling continuously and it looks like a mini jacuzzi, you should be good. To give you a number, it'd be closer to 100.

Answer 9

you need lots and lots of bubbles!!  

Answer 10

You want what is called a 'rolling boil'.  This means that there will be a ton of bubbles brewing all throughout the water.

Answer 11
