This is really going to make my friend Al Dente mad.

According to Forbes, the average Italian eats over 50 pounds of pasta every year,

So, Italians eat less than a pound of pasta week?

[Vigilanteman]

The Democrats were mad at all those East German border guards that Ronald Reagan put out of work too!

[PGR88]

I thought he was going to say: “add ground insect powder to the semolina.”

[Larry Lucido]

This is silly.

[ansel12]

This is very useful for preppers.

I have also meant to experiment with a pressure cooker and rice, add to boiling water, close the lid, turn off the heat, and wait.

[CatHerd]

I always when pasta is perfectly done by the sound of the boiling. This way, you have to fool with timing it. Hmm.

[ryderann]

Great groaner, and quick!

[nevadapatriot]

To the bone?

[Sgt_Schultze]

Every Italian mother saying you’re FoS press

[Olog-hai]

My mother cooks pasta like this. It’s not a new method at all.

[mykroar]

That’s how mom cooked ours. Boil, threw in spaghetti, brought back to a boil. Burners off and cover for 15 minutes.

[Leep]

Wow..$6!

Now I can retire.

“This all started when Parisi suggested that we should turn the burner off after adding pasta to a pot of boiling water. ‘After bringing the water to a boil, just throw in the pasta and wait two minutes’,”

I always do it that way. In the ‘90s I worked with a guy whose parents had an Italian restaurant, and he gave me this method.

Also, always TWIRL the spaghetti with a fork. For Heaven’s sake, don’t use a spoon or cut it!

[Organic Panic]

“Chef Luigi Pomata added that “it would be a disaster” to turn the heat off as pasta cooks. “Let’s leave cooking to chefs while physicists do experiments in their lab.””

If only everyone was telling that to our idiot politicians. What the heck does AOC know about energy production? Hank Johnson, idiot, thinks islands can tip over.

[Dr. Sivana]

In Europe and the northern U.S., homes are heated half the year. Heat made from a stove offsets some of the need to use a furnace (or worse, and heat pump), so it is not all wasted. Same goes for incandescent light bulbs.

[EnderWiggin1970]

I imagine I’m not the only hiker who has toyed with these same methods. Not to save the climate but just to cut down on fuel so you don’t have to carry as much (as well as saving time with the pre-soak method, if you can carry it that way while hiking to your stopping point.)

[dragonblustar]

This reminds me of video gamers who always calculate the numbers to get the best percentages for their gear and weapons. People have actual spread sheets for games on what to get, add, and or avoid just to improve performance.

[llevrok]

Id rather the Nobel winning scientist solve the “gravy or sauce” debate.

[Delta 21]

This Nobel Prize winner doesn’t even know how to cook pasta.

[Paal Gulli]

I think claiming "Chefs are Mad" is more than just a touch hyperbolic since the upshot is you're adding a minute to the preparation time of every pasta dish they serve. In a commercial kitchen, that's a non-starter because that directly reduces how many times in a night they can turn over all the tables in their restaurant.

Figure a way to get pasta on the table a minute faster and you'd have something. A minute later? ... meh ....
