How to Avoid Burning Yourself When Draining Water from a Pot of Boiled Potatoes: What Every Novice Chef Should Know
As you know, when emptying a pot in which potatoes were boiled, there is a high risk of getting burned.
Firstly, the danger comes from hot dishes, and secondly, rising steam can cause a lot of suffering.
It turns out that there are two clever tricks that, when used together, will ensure your safety while cooking.
1. Before heading to the sink with a pot of boiled potatoes in your hands, turn on the cold water.
Keep a stream of cold water running the entire time you're pouring the boiling water out of the pan so that the steam isn't as scalding.
2. Almost 100% of housewives, when draining water, direct the lid gap not away from themselves.
Try doing the exact opposite, grasping the pan so that the gap is facing you.
Thanks to this simple trick, all the steam will go under the pan. This method, as you might have guessed, can be used not only when boiling potatoes, but also other vegetables.
