Tuesday Tip: How to Keep a Pot from Boiling Over

This is one of the coolest kitchen tricks I've learned in recent years. I also learned this one from the hubby.

If you are boiling water on the stove, place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot and it will NOT boil over. No kidding. The wood on the spoon soaks up the steam and keeps the water from toppling over. Try it sometime; it works.
