Oh the "every five minutes" thing. I treat mine like it has separation anxiety. Gotta give it a little jiggle while I check the fridge again, then another shake when I walk past to get my phone. At this point it's less about cooking and more about having a nervous habit with a handle.
My buddy actually shook his so much the handle came loose. Had to duct tape it back on while his pasta boiled over. What's the weirdest thing that's happened with yours?
