Geoffrey Zakarian Says The Boiling Water Spoon Trick Actually Works - Tasting Table

We've all been there; you're boiling a pot of water, and you turn your back for only a moment. That's when the water begins to boil over, causing a watery mess all over the stove. Geoffrey Zakarian's hack for keeping that boiling water inside the pot saves you from these messy mishaps.

Wooden spoons come in handy for many things in the kitchen. Primarily used for stirring, wooden spoons are a kitchen staple every cook needs. Geoffrey Zakarian claims that these utensils can help in another very unexpected way. He says to place a wooden spoon across the top of a pot of boiling water. According to People, the famous chef says that when the bubbles from the boiling water touch the cool, dry wood of the spoon, they burst, releasing the steam. This prevents the water from boiling over.

If you don't have a wooden spoon, try tossing an ice cube into the pot as the water froths up. According to Stack Exchange, the drastic temperature change causes the frothy bubbles to stop in their tracks, which prevents the water from spilling over.
