Q: If you're cooking smaller potatoes, like new potatoes, feel free to put them in a saucepan with a taller rim. Otherwise, place your potatoes in a pot. Fill the pot or saucepan with cold water until the potatoes are completely submerged. Don't drop the potatoes from more than 34 inches (7.610.2cm) above the pot. You'll end up splashing water everywhere. There needs to be 23 inches (5.17.6cm) of space left at the top to keep the water from spilling out once it starts to boil. If your pot or pan is too small, move your potatoes to a bigger container. As soon as the water starts visibly boiling, reduce the heat to low or medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and let the potatoes cook. The length of time required to boil your potatoes is dependent upon the species of potato that you're cooking and whether you diced them into smaller pieces or not. Smaller potatoes and diced potatoes will cook faster than larger, uncut potatoes. Red potatoes and new potatoes require at least 15 minutes of boiling before they're ready. If you cut a larger potato into smaller cubes or sections, boil them for at least 15 minutes. If the potatoes are cut into pieces smaller than 2in (5.1cm), cook them for 10 minutes before checking them. There's no real harm in testing your potatoes before they're done. You can always continue to boil them if they aren't ready yet after you've taken one out for testing. Waxy potatoes, like red skin or fingerling potatoes, are particularly good for boiling. They won't get mushy if they're over-boiled and they tend to hold their shape really well.
A: Place your potatoes in a pan or pot and fill it with cold water. Reduce the heat to low once the water reaches a rolling boil. Boil red potatoes, new potatoes, or cubed potatoes for 15-20 minutes.

Article: Specially-formulated de-icing fluid is available at most filling stations, garages and supermarkets; especially if you live in an area with cold winters. However, if you don't have any de-icer on hand or you just want to save money, it's not hard to make your own. Follow the simple instructions below: To make your own de-icer, pour rubbing alcohol into a clean, dry spray bottle. Add a few drops of dish soap. Screw the lid on, then invert several times to mix. Whether you bought de-icer or made your own, you'll use it the same way. Spray your de-icer directly on to the icy parts of your window, then allow it to soak in briefly. You shouldn't need to wait more than a minute or two - the more de-icer you use, the less time you'll have to wait. Use a plastic scraper, a gloved hand, or another tool to scrape the ice away. You should find that it comes off of your window much quicker and easier than it normally would, saving you time overall. If needed, re-apply your de-icer to difficult spots as you scrape. In commercial concentrations, rubbing alcohol has a very low freezing point, so it's usually OK to leave your de-icer in the car unless you're expecting temperatures of -20 F (-29 C) or lower.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Buy a commercial de-icer or make your own. Spray your de-icer on the window. Scrape as normal.

Q: One of the worst things you can do when dealing with people who are less intelligent than you is to let them know that you think they are stupid. This will only make them angry, which means they will not be listening to you. If you want to communicate effectively with people, never tell them you think they are stupid (or insult them in any other way). If you get frustrated with someone who just doesn't seem to understand something, try asking them what you can do to help them understand, instead of insulting them for their lack of abilities. For example, you could say, "I see you're struggling to understand this math problem. How can I help?" Everyone is good at something, so try to hone in on other people's talents. A person may be less intelligent than you, but have better people skills or be a faster typist. Recognizing that all of these skills are important and valuable will help you appreciate others more. Encourage the person by pointing out their strengths and complimenting them, even if they are struggling with other things. For example, you could say, "I know you're having a hard time getting used to the computer system, but you did a great job interacting with the customers today." No matter what you think of other people, you should always treat them as you would want to be treated. Being kind and respectful, regardless of how you feel about someone, will make it much easier to get along. If you're having trouble being empathetic, take a moment to try to see the world through the other person's eyes. This may help you recognize their unique talents and appreciate how hard it is to deal with people who are more intelligent. Don't start arguments, even if you truly believe the other person is wrong. This will most likely be futile and will just frustrate you. If you feel the need to express your point of view, consider saying something like, "I think ________, but your idea is interesting too," instead of, "You're wrong. The right way to do this is ________." Sometimes it's best not to say anything about another person's lack of intelligence, even if you are forced to work with them. Be sure to carefully consider whether reporting the situation will benefit you in any way. If you work with the person, be sure to think about how your boss might react to your comments before you report them. If you determine that any negative reaction is worth the risk, be sure to approach the situation by talking about specific facts, rather than your own opinions of the person. If you go to the school with the person and have to work with him on a project, treat the conversation with your teacher the same way you would if you were an employee talking to your boss stick to the facts. You could say something like, "I noticed that X is having a lot of trouble operating the computer system, and it's really slowing down the team. The team completes 15 tasks on average while X completes only six or seven. I think they could benefit from more training, or possibly being assigned to a different task."
A:
Don't call the person out. Look for their strengths. Be empathetic. Think carefully before reporting them at a workplace.
