Boiling

🔬 How It Works

Water transfers heat to food at a constant temperature. The agitation helps cook food evenly and quickly.

📝 Step by Step

1. 1

   Fill pot with water and add salt for pasta/vegetables

2. 2

   Bring to a full rolling boil

3. 3

   Add food and return to boil

4. 4

   Cook until desired doneness

5. 5

   Drain immediately

💡 Pro Tips

• ✓Use plenty of water - at least 4 quarts per pound of pasta
• ✓Salt the water generously (it should taste like the sea)
• ✓Don't add oil to pasta water - sauce won't adhere
• ✓Save some pasta water before draining for sauces
