Who Knew?

I have heard this but I have never tried it and frankly forgot!

[Buddy P]

It works. I boiled a pot of potatoes and placed a wooden utensil across the top and it never came close to boiling over.

[Okra]

Yup, I've tried it, too, many times. And it does work.

[Dib's]

That's a great tip!

Fantastic trick. Whenever I make quinoa it ALWAYS boils over and I have a mess on the stove.

I read it before too and promptly forgot. Would have been handy to remember last night so I wouldn't have had sticky potato water all over my stove.
