It has happened to everyone at least once that they turn their backs on the stove for a second, and the water in the pot boils and sizzles in that second. We know what follows.
Instead of standing by the stove all the time lowering the temperature, try this simple trick.
A woman found out on social networks great way how to prevent it, all you need is – oil.
She shared the trick on her TikTok profile, which quickly garnered two million views and hundreds of comments.

All you have to do is, to pour some cooking oil on a paper towel and use it to rub the inside edge of the pot.
"Every day you learn something new, I like that and I will try," wrote her follower.
Some have questioned whether the trick works with any oil, to which she replied that it really works with any oil, i.e. olive, vegetable and any other, as it will hold the water and prevent the water from boiling over.
