Motivul pentru care trebuie să pui o lingură de lemn pe oală atunci când gătești. Funcționează la paste, orez • Newsweek România

Placing a wooden spoon on a pot while cooking can prevent boiling over, especially with starchy foods. The spoon creates a barrier that helps bubbles burst before they overflow. However, this trick is temporary and requires supervision. It works best with pasta, rice, and similar foods, but loses effectiveness when wet or heated. Metal spoons do not work as well due to their smooth surface and heat conductivity. Ultimately, careful cooking practices are essential to avoid spills.
