How to prevent boiling liquid from overflowing

We all know how an unwatched pot of tea/milk/water can go from boiling to overflowing pretty quickly! But it’s alright! We have a quick fix for you.

Step
1

When the liquid comes to a boil, put a wooden spoon over the top of the pot.
Step
2

Make sure the wooden spoon is longer than the diameter of the pot.
Step
3

The spoon will pop the bubbles when the liquid boils and prevent it from overflowing. A simple tip for the foodies; don’t use your favourite spoon, the heat could warp it. - Recipe by Diana Charles
