Efficiency Noodle Initiative
« on: Tue, 11 April 2023, 08:49:59 »
It takes quite a while to boil pasta/noodles, even just al dente.

Tp4 times approximately:

_ 11 minutes under a roaring boil. 

_ 15-18 minutes under simmer.


In order to minimize fuel use:

_ 10 minutes simmer + 5-8 minute rest in pot (zero flame), produces comparable results.

Also ensure the burner (we use gas) is not flaming out from under the pot but more concentrated under the base - tends to create the best results in speedy boil and consistency in the cook time.

Boil noodles in a pan instead of a pot. Fastest boil.

less water to heat up so it would be a bit quicker probably,

but seriously it also depends on the pasta your cooking. also if its fresh pasta or instant pasta.

Greater surface area in contact with heat source vs volume of water.
Michael Wolff says he urged Epstein to release information he had on Trump, but Epstein appeared worried about what Trump would do to him.
Epstein told him, “I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.” Epstein continued, "Trump is a man without any scruples.”

I see so the water boils faster.

Does it also speed up the noodles after it goes in the water ? or is it only boosting the startup phase.

Faster boiling water = faster noodle cook and less fuel consumption. You could always add salt to the water to increase the boil temp by a little bit as well.
