Why is it that if I leave temp high, water alone boils without spilling out of the pot, but if I add something to it (like pasta, chai mix, etc) and leave it on high, it eventually boils over and spills everywhere?
In: Chemistry
water boils over because when you add stuff like pasta it creates bubbles that trap steam and push water up and out. it’s like a party in your pot and everyone wants to jump out. if you leave it alone it just chill in there but add things and it goes wild. best way to avoid chaos is to lower the temp or cover it lightly. cooking is like balancing act right
