Are you tired of cleaning up water that runs off the stove during boiling? Here are 2 easy ways to solve this problem
If you've ever cooked something in a pot, you know how easy it is for water to run off the stove while boiling. Then you have to clean it up as everything spilled out. It takes time, effort, and doesn't improve your mood.
Fortunately, according to the Daily Mail, there is a simple way to solve the problem. Stacey Jobe, a healthy lifestyle expert from the United States, recently shared this on Instagram.
In particular, she said that the secret to preventing liquid spills on the stove during boiling... is in olive oil. And all you need to do is grease the edges of the pan with it.
"After that," Stacey said, "you can boil anything and your stove will be completely safe." This trick works because the layer of oil on the surface prevents water from spilling over the edges.
By the way, a well-known cleaning expert, Anita Birges, recently shared a similar hack, which consists of throwing an ice cube into a pot that is on the verge of boiling.
According to Anita, this method allows you to achieve a sparkling clean stove top and bring water to a boil in seconds.
Most subscribers responded positively to these tips and shared their own.
"You can also add a little olive oil to the water to prevent the pasta from sticking together," one said.
"Put a wooden spoon on the pan to keep it from boiling over," another advised.
"It also helps when cooking potatoes!" a third woman confirmed. "I just use butter and rub it on the top of the pot, and my potatoes don't boil over anymore."
