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.
