Chef Tip: Pot Boiling Over? Place a Wooden Spoon on It.
If you are like me, you are easily distracted in the kitchen, and not terribly patient. I've spent many a 5-minute interval waiting for that pot to boil. As soon as I turn my back to accomplish an actual task, the contents of the pot are all over the stove.
A simple solution is a wooden spoon. Place it over the top of your pot, and it absorbs and bursts the bubbles enough to keep the liquid in the pot where it belongs. This actually works.
Your 5 minute intervals are no longer lost in wasted waiting. You're welcome.
