If you like the tone of well worn strings, boiling can get you another week or so out of an old set.
I sometimes like to boil a set to use one one of my guitars in a show. They tend to mellow out the "electric" tones of a plugged-in acoustic guitar, and provide a different sound. Fun to experiment with.
No need to boil the B or high E, just the four wound strings.
