表示“煮粥”既可以用动词 make 和 boil，也可以用 cook。你太大意了，其后文章后面就有用 cook 的。你接着往下看：
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
其实，表示“煮粥”用动词 make, boil,cook 都可以。又如：

Wheat is used to make bread; oats are used to make porridge. 小麦用来做面包；燕麦用来煮粥。
The traditional breakfast of porridge was cooked in earthen pots. 传统的早餐麦片粥是在陶罐中煮的。
