I put oil in the pasta water and cook it past al dente but i dont rinse it under the tap i just put liquid butter in it and mix around
>>7470038
Why not just toss it with some oil after it's cooked?
>>7470030
Aren't u edgy

>people who bait the bait
oil in the water is just to prevent the water from bubbling over in case you don't have a stock pot to cook pasta on hand

wooden spoons achieve the same thing

Why on earth would the oil stop the water boiling over? That's completely and totally wrong.
And if it does boil over, you now have a fire hazard since you have now splashed a flammable liquid (the oil) near the burner on your stovetop.

Actually people think the oil prevents the pasta from sticking together, which is totally false. Oil in the water is just a waste of oil

It does stop the pasta sticking, retard.
howis oil influencing the pasta in any way if it's swimming above it?

stirring it in the first minutes and giving it enough water is enough, jesus christ why you guys know nothing at all about pasta

Well, if you remove your pasta from the pot by scooping it out with a ladle or similar, then you'd be moving the pasta through the oil layer as it came out of the water.
Otherwise it wouldn't do a damn thing. If you dump your pasta into a colander or sieve to drain it, then the oil would pass through it first before the pasta even got there.
I never put oil in my water, and my pasta can NOT be cooked past al dente. I do, however, rinse my pasta to cool it, because I generally cook enough pasta to last me 2-3 days. I just simply reheat it in boiling water. It's like using a Baine marie

this is the only accepted reason to rinse pasta: to be consumed later. like in pasta salads

>people who don't use Knorr Stock Pots instead of Salt and Pepper cause it just tastes better.
