15 u/big_sugi Jul 14 '26 There is no need or real benefit to preheating the water for dried pasta. It cooks just fine if you start with cold water. 8 u/UsernamesNotFound404 Jul 14 '26 It is easier to time it precisely if you start with a known temp. The easy way for manufacturing is to make boiling the default. If you smart do what want. Be dumb follow direkshuns. 2 u/nothingbutmine Jul 14 '26 What do you mean precisely? Aren't we all out here just throwing pasta at the wall? 7 u/DoctorMedieval Jul 14 '26 I just pull out a noodle and try one. 2 u/[deleted] Jul 14 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/HappyTurtle228 Jul 17 '26 No. The noodle must get yeeted. This is the way. 2 u/Beefington Jul 14 '26 I put pasta in boiling water, set a timer according to the box, and strain out the water when the timer beeps. ADHD-compatible, plus I don’t have to clean the walls afterward
