A Cooking Trick
Some ppl may wanna call it a cooking tip.. but i call it a cooking trick.. heh!! well.. the trick was not originated by moi.. 
it was from my MIL. We started cooking potatoes and carrots for Chloe .. but we either need to watch it closely.. for fear of boiling water spilling over.. or it runs dry.. and burn those potatoes and carrots and waste all your effort of peeling it.. cutting it to bits… and upset you totally for wasted time.. since you have a young one to feed.
Anyhow.. the trick is to put a little butter into the boiling water.. and wa-la.. no more spill over boiling water.. and no more having to keep tiping the cover up a little.. and watching it closely .. so that the cover donch slip.. and cover the pot up totally.. thus resulting to either a spill or burnt. And no more cleaning up the stove.. and scrubbing pots..! woo-hoo..!!
MILs are GEM..!! Did i tell yer all.. i love my MIL..!!!
