I can't fucking wait for my brother's girl to be old enough to help me in the kitchen. I refuse to let her grow up as some useless bint who can't fry a porkchop.

I break my pasta because I like smaller spaghettis when I eat and it saves the hassle of doing it post-cooking. I only do it when I'm preparing the food for myself and make it normal sized when cooking for others. Is this unacceptable?

If you salt the water after it's come to a boil, it actually raises the salinity which raises the boiling point of the water (which means it has to be hotter to boil), meaning your food gets cooked a bit faster/more thoroughly.

Saying it """"does absolutely nothing"""" is plain wrong.

>>13184422
The increase in boiling point conferred by a normal amount of salt is completely negligible and will have no noticable effect on the cooking time. Giving stupid explanations like this makes you look pretentious and undermines the actual reason to salt water, which is for flavor. That's it, it makes pasta taste better.

>> No.13184457

>>13184422
It raises the temperature by less than 1ºF, so this is essentially false. The point of salting the water is to season your pasta and sauce, which you will add pasta water to.

>> No.13184459

>>13184422
You're right in the sense that salting water does something: it makes the pasta salted.

The rest of the post is wrong.
The boiling point of a litre of water raise of 1°C every 58g of salt, that is 5 times the usual amount of salt you want to put in water.
Aside from that, pasta doesn't cook because the water is boiling, but what matters is just the temperature.

Cooking pasta require 3 main things
1. Rehydratation of the dried pasta
2. Starch gelatinization (which happens between 60°C and 70°C )
3. Gluten denaturation and coagulation (which happens between 70°C and 80°C)

Keep in mind that water boils around 100°C hence you can fully cook pasta with temperature way lower than the boiling point.

Boiling water can be hotter than 212/100 whether you add salt or not. We use boiling point as a gauge, but if you want water hotter than boiling, use a thermometer.

The larger issue is that noodles of any kind are prole chow for subEuropean scum like asians and neapolitans.

But if noodles absolutely MUST be on the menu to please childish or unevolved palates, at least have the mercy to break them before boiling them. Nobody is interested in watching a hairy subhuman monkey twirling its fork grotesquely, or slurping endlessly long noodles loudly into their simian maw.

italian here. I don't really give a shit if you break your spaghetti in half before cooking them.
I personally don't do that, but if you prefer your spaghetti shorter I'm totally fine. there are way worse cooking crimes. Even a lot of italians do it.
