Simplified meaning
When you're cooking, it's better to use a bigger pot than you think you'll need. This way, you avoid spills and messes as your food cooks and expands. For example, imagine you're making soup and you put it in a small pot. As it heats up, it might start to boil over, causing a mess on the stove. If you had used a bigger pot, you wouldn't have this problem. This advice can be applied to many areas in life, like preparing for a project at work or planning a party. By giving yourself more space or resources than you think you'll need, you're more likely to avoid problems and be ready for anything that comes up.
