It has long been noted that if you leave not only a ladle, but even an ordinary spoon in a pot of soup, the soup will turn sour faster.
In addition, people have formed their own beliefs on this matter, which skeptics call by one capacious word - superstition. We will tell you why you can’t do this.
Folk omens or superstitions
It is believed that a careless housewife or a worthless daughter-in-law can do this, because the habit promises poverty.
The next sign: leaving a ladle in a saucepan leads to quarrels in the family.
It is also believed that all cutlery should be stored strictly horizontally and away from prying eyes, otherwise gossip cannot be avoided.
From the point of view of materialism
No mysticism or prejudice. Everything is as simple as three kopecks. There should be no foreign objects in the pot with the first course, if only because the soup will spoil much faster.
In addition, through an open lid in the refrigerator, the first can absorb not the most pleasant odors or, on the contrary, cause an unpleasant odor to appear in the refrigerator (this is especially true for cabbage soup).
If you leave the soup on the stove, the small midges that live in the apartment, especially common in the summer, will get inside and will not get out of their own free will.
All this will lead to the soup spoiling quickly.
It is worth understanding that the material of the product does not matter. It is permissible to leave the devices only for a couple of hours.
