This viral hack has been around for quite some time, yet, many are unaware of it. Thousands of users have shared the hack across social media platforms recently. In this trick, a wooden spoon or spatula is placed across the pan and surprisingly, the bubbling liquid simply does not spill out!

Seems magical, right? The trick, in fact, involves a simple principle of science which many users have explained online. Water or any other liquid usually boils at 100 degrees Celsius, forming bubbles on top which may cause the excess liquid to spill out of the pan. Wood is an insulator, thus cooling the bubbles down and making them retreat. The spoon or wooden spatula, thus, acts as a barrier to prevent the bubbly liquid from overflowing.
