Did you know you can cook pasta in cold water

Transcript

00:00Which pot do you think I'm gonna add pasta to?

00:02The answer?

00:03Both.

00:03You don't actually need to boil pasta to cook it.

00:05I know.

00:06You are putting the pasta right in the water

00:08and turning on the heat and letting it do its thing.

00:10You're using less water.

00:11You're using cold water.

00:13Both of these resulted in the same texture.

00:16Can you tell the difference?

00:18I don't think so.

00:19Couple things.

00:19In my opinion, if you're gonna cook tortellini or ravioli,

00:22something filled,

00:23I would wait for that to come to a simmer,

00:26add the pasta in and cook it as is.

00:28Don't start that in cold water.

00:29Fresh pasta.

00:30Also boil that.

00:31There's too much starch.

00:32There would be a lot of gumminess that would come from it.

00:34When using the cold water method,

00:36stick to dry pasta.
