When milk or water begins to boil while cooking pasta, the stove and cabinets flood, which means further cleaning. However, there is a simple trick that our grandmothers have already known and that effectively prevents it. Just place a wooden spoon on the pot.

A wooden spoon is not just a tool for mixing or loading food. It also has less known use – it can stop the var. Place on the pot helps to avoid clutter in the kitchen and save time to clean.

  • Placing a wooden spoon on the pot creates a natural barrier for rising foam. When the bubbles of boiling water or milk touch the cooler surface of the spoon, they fall back into the pot.
  • In addition, the wood absorbs part of the steam moisture, reducing the risk of peeling.

The spoon does not heat as fast as the metal kitchen tools, so its use is safe.

  • However, it should be borne in mind that this method may not be enough at very intense cooking.

Therefore, it is best to consider it an emergency aid and not to leave cooked food unattended.

How to prevent boot from the pot?

  • If you do not have a wooden spoon at hand, add fat to the food. Pour a few drops of oil or olive oil into the boiling water. Fat reduces the surface tension of the fluid, which reduces the formation of foam and bubbles.
  • Also, remember that the lid must be opened.
