A pot watcher disc it put into the bottom of a pan. It helps to alert the cook to water getting ready to boil over before it happens. The way that it works is as the water begins to bubble the disc is raised. When the cook sees the disc coming to the top, it is a signal that the pot will soon be boiling over.

Why does a ceramic disk keep water from boiling over?
Because the ceramic or glass disc rattles as the water boils alerting you that the water is boiling therefore you do not forget about it and it does not boil over. Besides functioning as an audible alerter, the ceramic or glass disc will absorb excess heat in the pot. This is especially true when you are boiling something starchy such as rice or pasta. The layer of starch floats to the surface of the water and prevents the water from giving off it's excess heat. The ceramic or glass disc absorbs this extra heat and prevents the water from super-heating and boiling over.
