Can You Start Pasta In Cold Water? #Shorts

[b_uppy]

A cold start works great with ravioli and other filled pastas. It's much less likely to have the filling leak, I have found.

Pretty sure there are some middle steps missing from this video

I don't know this lady's name but I enjoy listening to her describe how she cooks recipes. I have watched here many times on ATK and she describes every step so well and her voice is easy to listen to. Thanks ATK for this wonderful video host.

I boiled some noodles from cold, stirred as it came to a boil, lowered heat to a simmer. But then the cheese and herbs did not appear in the pan??? 0/10

You jumped from cooking the pasta, to a finished Mac & Chz, in 0 time or ingredients.
Presto magic!!

Never use water. Use veggie stock instead, you’ll be so glad that you did. Chicken bone broth is ok but veggie stock is so much better

You're a lifesaver. I thought my water had been hot, poured the noodles without paying attention that I hadn't even turned the stove on. 😊

My accident taught me something new I didn't know...I CAN cook noodles in cold water. Never knew that. I may continue cooking my noodles that way. 😄

Thank you so much. ❤

That's a very interesting pot design. I would be curious to hear how many folks prefer the more agressively upward angled handle to something more flush with the top of the pot.

Mac and cheese is a Grown-up meal. The cheesier the better. I've always loved my Mac and cheese. This looks delicious.

She is, in my opinion, attractive, charming, and carries herself with grace and kindness.

Usually, I break angel hair pasta in half, put it in a skillet 2/3 full of water with no salt, turn the heat to medium high, stir it occasionally and then strain it out when the pasta looks flexible and done. There's no need for a huge pot and salt when your sauce and parmesan have salt in them anyway, and a skillet heats up faster. Really, I'd like to see ATK do a taste-test to see if anyone can tell the differences in how the pasta was cooked.

1980’s latchkey me, assures you, you can 👍

[bugzy]

don’t add salt until the water boils or you stand the risk of pitting the bottom of your stainless steel pan

Question not answered. I was expecting to see pros and cons of starting in cold water. How air cooking in a skillet?

[MrsBees]

So my biggest question is "why". Why start it with cold water? Is there an advantage over throwing it in boiling water? (Other than it saving a few minutes.) The other question is: what does it do to cooking times? Boxed pasta has specific cook times and going from cold would kinda mess with those. Do you start your timer when it begins to boil? Or what?

[annsmith]

And where did the cheese come in ? This segment is missing significant portions of the recipe ! Lan Lam can do much better than this —- please take this down a re-do it. This makes no sense !

[LelasMum]

Won’t adding the salt in the beginning cause pitting to the pot?

Recipe is in the full ATK episode on Youtube. See link in the description. Recipe is called "Pasta Cacio e Uova" Link is in the full episode description.

One day, Americans will invent a method of cooking pasta whereby you use a large pot of salted water at a rolling boil to cook pasta without needing to stir it while you prepare the sauce.

I wait until the water boils because I don't want to figure out how much the water has to boil and I want to give my self time to prepare everything else
