Fun fact: This is the post that was the reason I created this sub. And hence also the first post on this sub.
oh lmao, legit. thought it seemed vaguely familiar.

Translation: if you put a wooden spoon on top of a boiling pot, it will prevent spilling in case the boiling water start rising and tries to overflow.
Not sure if it works but I already heard of it somewhere
It does to some extent. When the bubbles rise, the spoon will cut the large pack of bubbles in two, making the center collapse, so there are now two packs of bubbles on each side thanmt can't go as high because the shape (a half circle instead of a full circle) makes the building of bubbles less stable.
You don't need a spoon or it to be wooden though (although the material may have a small influence).
This doesn't work. I've tried it several times. There's no difference between having a wooden spoon on tge pot or a metal spatula. It just doesn't work.
This happened to my buddy Eric
A drop of oil eats the cat and gives it a taste. Don't glug the salt.
Also: this only works with old spoons. Many new ones have Coatings on them that prevents this. Or i think that's the reason - correct my If i'm wrong.
You mean wood varnish? I don't think they'll put that on spoons because they go near food and you don't really want to ingest that.
Not sure. This trick works with some older spoons of mine and doesn't with the new ones. Don't know why... Thought they were putting something on the new ones🤷♂️
