>le oil in pasta waterMeme, does nothing, not real.
this is making me think back to marco pierre white saying he puts oil in his pasta water in one video then in another video he says he never puts oil in his pasta water. which is it, marco? you hypocritical fuck
>>21670896>which is itYour choice, of course!
oil in pasta water is retarded. you want the water to go into the pasta.if the pasta gets oil on it, that repels water and interferes with it cooking.put on oil or butter AFTER cooking.
You bunch of trolls. The heat thins the oils and the agitation from boiling it costs the noodles, so they don't stick to each other intensely when done.
>>21670906this. cook some rice with and without oil and you will figure it out
>>21670906>>21670908i have never in my life ever had an issue with pasta sticking together and i never put oil in the water
>>21670908>rice fag tries to come into a pasta chad thread and start shitget out of here you fuckin chooch
>>21670911your pasta is artificial garbage with chemically altered starch
>>21670919yeah i chemically altered your mom's starch actually
>>21670919>your pasta is artificial garbageall pasta is artificial, wise guy. have you ever seen pasta growing on a tree?>>21670919>chemically altered starchstarches change automatically when you cook them. """chemically altered""" is a scary buzzword for "cooked". You thought I didn't recognize you, rice eater. I told you once, get out of here you fuckin fanook
Acts as a surfactant and keeps the starch/protein foam from boiling over. Doesn’t coat the noodles at all; liquid isn’t boiling long enough or hard enough to emulsify it
>>21670896>currently on big oil payroll >"I ALWAYS oil my boiling water!">not on big oil payroll>"I have NEVER oiled my boiling water!"
>>21670925modified starches act differently from native starches when cooked
>>21670933>modified starches act differently from native starches when cookedYeah no shit. They're harder to digest, so they make you feel fuller for longer. This is a good thing. Rice does the same thing.
>>21670882Use oil if you are planning a pasta salad, where you dont want the starch. No oil for all other normal pasta dishes.
Oiling pasta is only useful if you're retarded and can't keep track of 8 - 10 minutes or set a timer to prevent over boiling. Oiled or not, noodles will stick if you're not stirring.
>>21670896He puts knorr stockpot in his pasta water and you should too, you uncultured plen
>>21670925>He's never taken part in the spaghetti harvest, with a meal of freshly picked spaghetti afterwards
>>21670908>ching chong bing bong herro fly liceEnough muk-muk talk.
>>21670899Very true, since oil floats on water last time I tried boiling my oiled pasta it flew away.
>>21670955He's paid for this
>>21670919i've never even had pasta before
>>21670896Guess you've never worked for a chef before. Constant contradictions.
>>21670912
>>21670963Holy shit, you've made me feel old.
>>21670919you just have to stir it while cooking and then sauce it soon after draining. oil is unnecessary. if you have an issue with it boiling over then just lower the heat a little.
>>21670906No retard, you’d need an insane amount of oil before that starts being true. Just splash a little oil right after you strain it. Dumbass.>>21670908Rice isn’t pasta. Also how retarded do you have to be to fuck up rice so bad you need to use oil to keep it from sticking together?
butter has oil in it and you add it after it comes out the water.
>>21670930>mamma mia I'sa too stupid to watch-a da pot!If you're Italian (aka braindead) and don't know how to keep a pot from boiling over this may make sense but to the rest of humanity (the civilized, non-ape portion) if you put oil in the water you're just wasting oil.
only thing worth putting in pasta water is salt
sure
>>216720332025 was ten years ago. feel old yet?
>>21670882>>le oil in pasta water>Meme, does nothing, not real./facepalmThe only reason add oil to cooking water is because the starches can bubble higher and higher and boil over onto the stove. This is an issue with using a very small pot, ie poor people. In food service, pasta isn't always cooked to order, but can sit around to reheated, and those cases where it's cooling and congealing to be refreshed again, the oil keeps it separate. Yea, it's bad, but if you ever walked past a Sbarros in the mall, those vats of noodles are there for the hot sauce, only combined when you order.
>>21674512>erm actually restaurants do it because blah blah blahCool! I'm not a restaurant, faggot.
>>21671031only /ck/ manages to get me laughing in the first thread i click on.
>>21674523I can see you don't like to read. I said that poor people that boil in small amount of water in a pot that is too small for the job do it to prevent boil over.
>>21674537And I can see you don't like to cook. Because if you did, you'd know that oil in le pasta water does fucking nothing, no matter how much angry british man (who cant make a grilled cheese) tells you otherwise.
>>21672882Italians don't put oil in their pasta water since they're not retarded britbongs who can't cook.
>>21670882I bet it does something
>>21670882You don't need to put anything on pasta, just boil it in water that's it.No salt, no oil, no condiment, no sauce: just pasta.
>>21674621In fact, forget the water. Just pasta.
Oil is a meme, salt is not
>>21670897My peenus weenus?
>>21674697In fact, forget the pasta.
>>21670882Americans fry pasta?!? Fuck
>>21674789Stolen from the wops
>>21670882The purpose is to break the surface tension so the water doesn't boil over. This is, of course, retarded since you should just turn down the heat instead.
>>21670882>le oil in pasta waterI've never met or heard of a single person who has ever done this but somehow I still got reminded not to do it by ten million youtube cooks.
the heat of the oil cooks the pasta
>>21675938the pasta becomes conscious of the potential thermic energy contained in an unheated pot of water and, afraid of not being in control of its death, cooks itself.
>>21670882I put oil in the pasta water and it didn't do shit. What worked is reaching near boiling temps, just when small bubbles start to come up, insert pasta (broken in half), boiled for a few minutes, maybe not even 10. Add salt, not oil, not too much though, a few pinches. I stir the water while it is working, and have the pasta out when it plumped up and wiggles like a worm does. In the pot where the pasta is stored I left a little moisture, just enough so they don't dry out. It was all gucci the next day, not sticking together, no hard parts in the pasta itself.Such an easy job but also easy to under/over cook it.
>>21670882The patrician pasta eater cooks their pasta in the sauce
>>21677672after you've cooked al dente with salt in the water..
