Me who never stirs and never gets sticky pasta…
Stop using butter.
This meme is about boiling pasta. You butter before you boil? Weird.
Gross, people do that?
Butter is delicious though
Little olive oil in the water. Problem solved.
Salty like the ocean
Is bullshit you don’t want that much salt
You do in the water. The pasta won’t absorb all of it
If the ocean is the baltic sea then it makes sense as it has salt content ranging from 0.5~1.5
I have actually never seen this before. Other comments are saying its because you dont salt your water and i do so probably thats why. It also makes the taste better so overall recommended.
You can add some oil so pasta won’t also stick when you have cold leftovers. I add both oil and salt in the very beginning, because there’s no reason to not do that, and I have a feeling of the right amount compared to the amount of water.
And I stir once, about a minute after putting the pasta in, because something tends to stick to the bottom in the very beginning. Afterwards, it’s just not necessary.I add both oil and salt in the very beginning, because there’s no reason to not do that.
If you really like to impregnate your pasta, so that it won’t absorb your sauce (or less well), then you are right about the there-is-no-reason-part in your answer.

Do you cook your pasta in a large pot, with plenty of boiling water, and a good amount of salt? Usually I just stir once just after putting the pasta in, and I never have noodles sticking together.
It depends on the pasta (form, freshness, self-made… etc). Some has to be steered 3-4 times others just once, in my experience.
My pot would have to be 3x its size to fit the amount of water a single package of pasta says I should use.
1kg to 10l
Do you have a bathtub in your stove?As others have already said, that is a lot of pasta. If you regularly cook volumes like that, it would really make sense to invest in a large pot as well. A cheap 10l pot will do just fine for boiling pasta, and it sounds like you would get plenty of use out of it.
Only the best musicians blame their pot.
No, but 1kg of pasta? Are you feeding a battalion?
I usually make food for a few days
Matter of definition really
Definition of what?
Definition of battalion
1 kg of dry pasta is enough for 10 people! Do you often cook for that many people? (Genuine question)
That’d be two people, five meals each so a few days. That’s how I usually do it
Not in my experience, I usually count 200g per person
That’s a LOT of pasta per person. Not unheard of, but still a lot
I do have a 10 L pot, I use it for making stock and beer
Is this a meme I’m too Italian to understand?
Yeah, I also don’t get it. I don’t stir pasta, maybe once in the middle. It never sticks.
My biggest gripe with cooking instructions is the non-specificity. “Stir pasta frequently”? How frequently? How continuously? Tell me in unit Hertz
What kind of dumb instructions are that?
Stirring exactly once is enough in most cases.
I won’t accept my pasta at anything lower than 120Hz.
Not sure your pasta will survive that kind of speeds…
They just pasta way
only 120hz?! I refuse to eat any pasta below 2.4ghz
Just imagine the chaos when you run the microwave at the same time!
The human eye cannot see more than 24Hz, so why bother
No it can see much more. Bonus: your brain can ‘see’ more than 100hz too. Google bundesen tva. Source i worked on programs to measure it for my gfs phd. Also i play fps :D
I don’t understand the basis of the 24Hz limit rumor. My monitors are 144Hz, and if I limit them to 60Hz and move my mouse around I see fewer residual mouse cursors “after-images” than I do at 144Hz. That’s a simplified test that shows that the eye can perceive motion artifacts beyond 60Hz.
The eye can perceive LEDs that are rectified at 60Hz AC, it’s very annoying.
I could never tell if people who were claiming not seeing more than the 24 Hz/FPS thing were serious or just excusing poor game optimization. They were either fanboys defending a poor job of a product, or simply had terrible eyes. But I think even with the latter you’d still be able to tell the difference in smoothness.
It’s one of those things that once you experience a higher framerate in games it’s very hard to go back to a lower setting.
I find it hard to get used to in movies/shows though. My TV has an option to insert frames for smoother playback to make it appear a higher Hz, but it often looks unnatural. It was hard getting used to The Hobbit movie (I think it was Desolation of Smaug) that was in 48 FPS. And Avatar: Way of Water was constantly switching between lower and higher frames for regular and action scenes, it was such a jarring experience.
iirc 24hz is just the minnimum thta the movie industry found creates the illusion of a moving image.
24hz is the lower limit. People will perceive 24hz as a smooth sequence, especially with motion blur, while anything below it will start to look choppy. Of course humans can perceive higher frequencies. But 24hz became the standard because celluloid film is expensive especially in the early days of cinema. The less frames you need to shoot the less film you need to buy and develop. And film back then was probably not sensitive enough for the lower exposure times that come with higher frame rates.
I think it’s the limit for what most people can see as jittery motion. You may be able to differentiate between higher FPS settings, but above 24 hertz most people shouldn’t be able to see discrete steps.
That’s at least how I’ve come to understand it
137 times more powerful than the Electromagnetism you try and use to tear them apart, behold the Strong Pasta Friendship Force!
Y’all need to salt your water.
It prevents nearly all the sticking and it makes pasta delicious
It’s not the salt that prevents the sticking. You use a larger pot with plenty of water. Still delicious though :P
Yea, and not cooking it for too long.
And while you’re at it, shell out the extra 50 cents or whatever for the bronze cut pasta. It has a much nicer texture and allegedly makes sauce adhere to the pasta more.
It’s really the first couple minutes that are critical

Do you not put just a little oil to make them unstick with each other?
Nah that is another myth, it will just make it harder for your sauce to stick to your pasta. Add salt and it won’t stick together.
Dat feel
It’s that goblin fuck from sin city having an orgy.
That goblin fuck doesn’t have the tools for a proper orgy
