The definitive trick to prevent water from leaking out of the pot when boiling

Cooking is one of the pending subjects for many young people who become independent and make a real mess every time they put themselves in the kitchen, especially when they have to make elaborate dishes or those that require cooking.

A kitchen classic that will accompany us throughout our lives is boiling, from pasta to rice, vegetables and all types of foods, being a healthy and quick alternative in many cases for cooking and making dishes of all kinds.

However, what often happens is that we leave our food boiling in a pot and start doing something else, distracting ourselves and leaving it aside, causing the water to leak out of the container and forming a pool in the kitchen.

The incredible and unknown trick that @foodloverspty has shared on TikTok is as simple as it is effective: rub a little oil with a napkin on the inner edges of the pot to stop the rise of the water.

In this way, when the water is boiling at maximum power and is going to come out, it will be limited to the oil area due to the curious physical phenomenon that prevents it from passing beyond the oil.

In the comments there have been many thanks to the council, saying that they just found out “after 30 years” that it works or that they use a “wooden spoon” to have the same result.
