We're definitely trying this out!
Cooking can be many things - burdensome, therapeutic, fun, boring or just plain ole necessary.
And if you're doing something like boiling pasta or potatoes, you may try multi-task and leave the pot unattended for a few minutes.
Next thing you know the pot's boiling over and there's foamy water everywhere.
Now of course, you can just lift it off for a sec and turn down the hob.
But this little trick might be a little easier, granted you've an ice cube to hand...
TikTok user @kristyehmer shared a little clip of her throwing an ice cube into a pot boiling over.
And the calming effect it had is just beautiful to watch:

We've also heard of another handy trick that's tried and tested to stop the boiling over happening in the first place.
It's simple: place a wooden spoon across the pan and it should prevent the water boiling over.
Sure we've always got time to try little life hacks if they'll make our life easier!
