Whisk Bubbles to Prevent Overflows
You know what it’s like. You put something on the stove. Your favorite show is on in the living room. You go watch. Next thing you know, you hear that whoosh, wheeze, and gush as liquids pour down over the sides.
One thing you can do in this situation (beside skipping the TV): keep a small whisk near your stove. When you confront your homemade geyser, quickly beat the whisk in the pot. The bubbles will subside pronto, so you can remove the pot from the burner more quickly with less mess.
