Prevent Water from Over-boiling

By: Amberly Asay

A watched pot never boils, but an unwatched pot can go from boiling to overflowing rather quickly.  In order to prevent this from happening place a wooden spoon over the top of the pot.

The wooden spoon will pop the bubbles, prevent it from boiling over and give you the time you need to turn down the heat.  Do not use a metal spoon, because the metal will get too hot and will burn you.
