A lot of recipes and videos say "bring the cream/milk/etc to the boil" - but to me this would be as in a kettle at the point it turns itself off. Clearly this is wrong for boiling things like cream, but what should the cream/milk/etc look like when it begins to boil?

Yes, I've screwed up my fair share of creme brulee, before you ask.

Just as simple as "When it starts boiling".

When a liquid is boiling, it starts making bubbles, at first, it starts with small bubbles, and those get bigger as the liquid comes to its boiling point.

When a recipe calls for that, you remove from heat when it starts boiling.
