So often in life, we get stuck in our usual routines, largely because they’re easy and we know what to expect. One place where we often get stuck in a rut is in the kitchen, where we make the same meals over and over because they’re easy and we don’t have to think. Routines are great, but sometimes we need to shake up our habits, and what we eat and how we make it is one way to spark a little change. Today, we’re going to blow your mind with a different way to cook pasta.
Pasta is one of the most popular food staples in our pantries, and most of us cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water.
It usually goes like this: boil water, drop in pasta, let it cook, and then strain it off. Harold McGee, author of Keys to Good Cooking: A Guide to Making the Best of Foods and Recipes, has a new way of cooking pasta that will leave folks stunned and satisfied.
McGee sets out to change the way we approach the mundane cooking tasks in our kitchens. In the video below, he shows how the way we cook pasta might not be the only approach or even the best.
This pasta cooking method produces not only a tasty finished product, it also shortens the cooking process. Pasta isn’t terribly time-consuming to cook, but McGee’s method can shave a few precious minutes off the process when time is of the essence. Busy and hungry families will be able to enjoy a delicious meal much sooner. McGee’s method couldn’t be more natural. In the video, he explains that we “can save a lot of time, a lot of water, and a lot of energy by starting out with cold water and a frying pan.”
