How to Keep Your Pot From Boiling Over

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Chapel Hill chapter.

Ain’t nobody got time to stand in front of their pot of water watching and waiting so it doesn’t boil over. BORING. Lucky for you, we have a baller trick that will eliminate all that unnecessary waiting: a wooden spoon. Yeah, the utensil you’re probably already using anyway can double as a boiling-over preventer. A lesson learned in not judging a book by its cover.

Step 1: Boil a pot of water, duh.

Step 2: Grab a wooden spoon (you’re probably already using); put it on top of your pot.

Step 3: Grab a glass of wine and walk away. You smarty.
