Given the background description of some cooking related query, summarize the question into a title

Question: I was reading that couverture chocolate is apparently "real" chocolate that requires proper tempering to have the right texture and shine. What if I don't temper it and just eat it straight out of the bag in those little discs it comes in- will it still taste good?And if I'm buying fancy chocolate candy how can I know it was made from couverture and not cheap (fake? I guess) chocolate?

Answer: What does non-tempered couverture chocolate taste like?


Question: What are the mechanics of water boiling over? How can you stop it from happening? Is it more likely to happen with certain ingredients? Which? How does the amount of water effect the likelihood of water boiling over? What role does burner temperature have? Will it only occur during a rolling boil?This is brought up by this comment by MeltedPez in one of the cooking pasta questions: The only other argument for using more water is that less water is more likely to cause the pot to boil over. Basically the starch in the pasta makes it easier for the water to form bubbles that collect and spill over when not paying attention. I've found that with a very low pasta to water ratio can end in a messy kitchen. This seems very counter intuitive to me initially, as I feel less water should make it harder to boil over the edges.

Answer: What causes water to boil over?


Question: I guess it can be subjective according to tastes, but some reduction is required. If I could know what I am trying to do away with in the reduction process (alcohol, raw bite or volume) then I could adjust according to my subjective taste and dish.Some general guidelines about how do you know when your wine is reduced or what to look for in a reduced wine would be useful.

Answer:
How do I know when my wine is properly reduced?
