I cover the rice with my steamer basket and it never boils over. Or I tried covering the lid with a light towel and that too worked.?
— Rosie AIELLO
Answer:
Yep, that's, that's true. Both of those things will work. I also know that if you put a wooden spoon over the top of your pot as well, it won't cook over, which is just, you know, the reaction happening between those two. Um, but yeah, those two things will work. I'd be a little concerning about covering, uh, the tight towel over it as well just because that towel can heat up very quickly and uh, sometimes you forget and you have a very, very hot towel. Um, but the steamer basket, uh, that does the same thing with the wooden spoon over the top wood as well.
