I tried two different ways to clear ice off my driveway last winter and one was a total disaster

So I had this bright idea to use hot water to melt the ice after a big freeze in January. I poured about two gallons of boiling water on a patch near my front steps and it just turned into this massive sheet of black ice that was worse than before. My neighbor came out laughing and told me to try the cheap regular salt from the hardware store on 82 Ave instead. That salty stuff worked in like 20 minutes and I didn't almost break my neck. Has anyone else made that dumb hot water mistake or am I the only one?

Shattered my grandma's favorite flower pot doing that last year.

Oof, I felt that one. Grandma's pottery is sacred.
