I remember in lab chemistry my friend Paul, followed instructions to the letter and was looking around for a bottle for copious water. as stated in the instructions "use copious water to cool the substance upon heating"

Gary, where is the copious water bottle I cannot find it:doh

Very simple!!! Use electric kettle because once it boil it will automatically shut off.

.... and besides you can't burn water because it will turn steam. Very impossible to burn water.

You could of course use electrolysis to convert the water into hydrogen and oxygen, in which case it would not only burn but most likely explode, sending your hard boiled egg into orbit.

I assume you mean without evaporating it in which case the only way would be to boil it in a vacuum in a sealed container so that the steam could not escape. Alternatively, under very high pressure, water can reach temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius without turning to steam.

But if you just want to boil an egg in a standard saucepan I suppose the only practical solution is to keep an eye on it. :)
