What have you learned?

Stop watching the pot.

Turn on the stove, if you haven't.

Having had to actually cook lately, I discovered this is BS.



Fourteen minutes into preparation and the water hasn?t gotten to a boil yet.

Start with hot water from the tap and put that sucker on "Hi".

I did.

In all fairness, I was standing there watching the pot and waiting for it to boil.

That is BS. False advertising. Did you return it? Maybe a class action lawsuit is in order...

I need to grow some vegetables...

Instant pot it. reduce the al dente time or how ever you like it by 1/2. Approx 8 minutes to come to temp and pressure, before timer kicks in.


They say to shut down and release pressure after timer goes off. I've found you turn off and let sit 30ish seconds before venting. . Pasta is trial & error. It cooks most pastas well.

EXCEPT: angel hair pasta. If you need to do some body work, there's natural bondo ready in 3 minutes, or plaster a wall.

I'm too picky about the texture of my pasta to go the Instant Pot route.

Nice. If I find I have to feed myself for too much longer I might have to get one of those.

So, do you prefer a limp noodle or do you like it a little firmer?

[Gman]

I like my pasta al dente.

I'm not going to be a party to your noodle hot tub fantasy.
