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.

"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.
