⁣When boiling 600ml of water-based soup today, I observed that with a high flame, the liquid tended to rise and overflow. However, when I strategically placed a rolling pin on top of the pot, an interesting phenomenon occurred. The rolling pin acted as a barrier, disrupting the rapid upward movement of bubbles and preventing the soup from spilling over the pot's edge.

This happens because when the flame is high, the heat energy is transferred rapidly to the liquid, causing it to boil vigorously. The rolling pin, serving as a physical obstruction, interferes with the formation and ascent of bubbles. It essentially acts as a controlled lid, allowing the soup to simmer without reaching the critical point of overflow.

This simple kitchen hack demonstrates how a seemingly unrelated object can play a crucial role in managing the cooking process. It's a practical solution to avoid messy spills and ensure a more controlled boiling experience.
