Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta

      The ad invasion has officially begun in earnest apparently. Brands should be downvoted (or banned or quarantined or something) as a rule.

      Now… what can we do about political astroturfing? Politics is super broad and people legitimately talk about it all the time (as they should).

          Because barilla doesn’t want to make an LGBT starred cast for his advertising and me saying what’s wrong with that and your response is " get that boot out of your mouth". What an insufferable individual you are and if people online wanna see what brought us to trump and the fucking microspheres its giant whining dumb dumbs like you who push men and even sometimes women to the right with your constant nitpicking, excessive cancel culture, culture war bullshit and bickering meaning no cohesion on the left.

    So how is that supposed to work? It depends on many factors, mostly elevation and pasta thickness, which have to be taken into account. You can cook thin pasta in a few minutes, but thicker ones easily need more than 10.

      Mostly irrelevant.

      and pasta thickness

      Which is why they have one playlist per sort.

      This is basically advertising for Barilla.

          Elevation decreases atmospheric pressure, and the difference is pretty small in the ranges that people actually live.

          A pressure cooker increases pressure by about 15 psi above atmospheric pressure which is pretty huge, nobody lives 5km below sea level (although it’s more complicated than this).

          So yes, pressure cookers do cook things faster, but the pressure difference altitude makes is basically irrelevant

            Elevation decreases atmospheric pressure, and the difference is pretty small in the ranges that people actually live.

            That’s not entirely true actually. At 1.5km (≈5000ft) altitude it’s roughly a 5°C (≈9°F) difference which might not sound a lot but depending on the dish that can double the cooking time. 1.5km is a relatively high altitude of course but not unheard of for villages, smaller cities and also Denver.

              The example I usually use is Mexico City with 20 million people at above 2’000 m elevation. Water boils at as low as 90 °C there.

    Much prefer La Molisana. Bronze die pasta is superior for getting starchy pasta water which is critical to achieving sauce emulsification in many pastas like spaghetti cacio e pepe, spaghetti carbonara, and bucatini all’amatriciana. The rough texture of bronze die pasta also seems to help the sauce adhere better to the surface of each noodle.
