In the video, a person is seen using a spatula to stir a pot of boiling water. The water is bubbling and steaming, indicating that it is being heated at a high temperature. The person then proceeds to add a piece of butter to the pot, which begins to melt and mix with the water. The butter is added to the center of the pot, and the person continues to stir the mixture. The steam rising from the pot suggests that the water is still hot. The video does not provide any additional context or information about the purpose of the boiling water and butter.
