Preparing dinner for many people can be a stressful task. While making pasta, the water can turn into thick foam in a second and flood the entire stove. This is the released starch, which increases the viscosity of the water and promotes the formation of bubbles. Don’t panic, because it can easily be prevented. It’s not about buying a magic pot or special noodles.
What to do to prevent the pasta from boiling over? Grease the pot with this
To prevent boiling over, our grandmothers used a wooden spoon. They placed a wooden spoon in the middle of a pot of boiling water. It should lie on the edges and the pot cannot be covered. Thanks to this, the bubbles that appear will disappear immediately. A very simple and effective way is to grease the edge of the pot with oil or butter. The oil creates a fat barrier that reduces the surface tension of water. This makes it difficult for bubbles to form. When it starts to boil and its level rises, the oil will prevent the liquid from spilling over the edge of the pot. Butter will work identically.
How to cook pasta quickly? Give up the small pot
Use vegetable, rapeseed or sunflower oil to grease the pot. Olive oil, margarine and even lard will also work well. This patent can be used not only for cooking pasta, but also for potatoes, groats and milk. Pay attention to the size of the pot. A large pot that is not completely filled with water will help you avoid boiling over. The vessel should be 70% filled with water. Follow the rule that for every 100 g of pasta such as strings or gimlets, you need a liter of water and half a teaspoon of salt. Add the spices only when the water starts to boil. Remember these rules and the noodles will be ready in 8 minutes.
