    Fun fact: This is the post that was the reason I created this sub. And hence also the first post on this sub.

    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.

    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.

    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
