What kind of water to put pasta in - cold, hot or vigorously boiling: an important rule
09.08.2024 10:38
Cooking pasta is considered a very simple culinary procedure.
And yet it is very easy to make a mistake.
For example, many people add pasta to the water too early.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, a cook and a fourth-class baker, emphasizes: the product must end up in a rapidly boiling liquid.
Putting pasta into cold water is a big mistake.
Putting the product into hot, but not yet boiling water is also a wrong action.
Why pasta should be poured into vigorously boiling water
The answer is simple: without observing this condition, the dish will not turn out perfect.
If the pasta ends up in cold or not hot enough water, then instead of a full meal you will end up with a tasteless, stuck-together mass.
But if you pour pasta into boiling liquid, it will not stick together and will turn out extremely appetizing.
An important point with salt
There is one more important nuance: when the water boils, do not rush to add the pasta right away.
First add salt to the liquid and only then throw in the pasta.
If you add salt to cold water, its temperature will rise too slowly.
If you add salt after adding the pasta, you risk getting a dish with an uneven taste.
