>>evenly cooks the pasta instead of having half the pasta being half-cooked
???
you understand that boiling water will soften pasta immediately so you can push it all in the water, right? you're not leaving half of the pasta sticking out of the water like some retard, are you?

>>21472592 (OP)
Or you could just buy/make short pasta in the first place

Italians sperg out over perfrctly al dentay yet allow half the pasta to be cooked longer

>>21472592 (OP)
Italians don't break pasta because it's symbolic of the breaking up of the Roman Empire, eventually leading to their modern failed nation.... moorish gypsy grifters who can't even pay denbts, and their criminal diaspora.

>yet allow half the pasta to be cooked longer
you don't seem to get it. the pasta softens immediately, you push it all into the pot. half of it is only outside the water for seconds, which is insignificant with a 10 minute cook time.

>half of it is only outside the water for seconds,
What kind of magic pasta do you have that instantly get soft in a few seconds?

>>21472755
Your pasta should soften almost immediately if you're putting it in boiling water. Are you putting your pasta in lukewarm water or something? Let it come to a full boil first.

>>21472592 (OP)
>half the pasta being half-cooked
Has literally never happened in the history of cooking spaghetti in any kitchen ever

>>21472592 (OP)
>dozens of tiny little pieces launched around the kitchen

>>21472787
100% agree with you and op is retarded, but they also have half boxes of spaghetti noodles probably for retarded people who can't cook

>evenly cooks the pasta instead of having half the pasta being half-cooked
Not something that happens to people who aren’t mentally retarded.

>evenly cooks the pasta instead of having half the pasta being half-cooked
>you don't have to play around with the pasta when eating it like you're a little kid

just cook it in a pan problem solved

olive oil keeps the pasta from sticking

>>21474721
Just a little bit of salt will do that

As for OP the pasta softens almost immediately

>>21472592 (OP)
you may as well go all the way and shit right in your spaghetti

Since it's a popular choice in other countries, could you guys satisfy a curiosity of mine?
If you break the spaghetti shorter, how do you even eat it after? Full length is already barely enough to form a nice, tight spindle that'll stay on your fork, but it should be nigh impossible on halved spaghetti.

Do you just lift it in the middle and then slurp it up as if you were eating ramen? Or have messy bites that still require a lot of sucking?
It just feels like it should be really impractical and anyone would stop breaking it after a single time seeing how much worse it makes consumption after.

This
Pan uses less water anyways so you heat up faster

I agree. also the default length of italian pasta is too long. sometimes when I twirl it up, it will fling a droplet of sauce, making a mess. There's no benefit to making your food so tangled.

Italian food rules are retarded anyway. Chinese invented their noodles, and they often sell dry noodles wound into a ball shape, so you can drop all the noodles in at the exact same time. it's just smarter

>>21475712
that's too short anon

>>21476169
>I agree
because you're retarded

>>21477062
ya got no argument
like all italian food shills

>>21477068
as pointed out several times already, the whole premise of the breaking pasta argument is predicated on the false assumption that unbroken pasta cooks unevenly. which you would only think if you're a retard who doesn't know you can just push the whole pasta into the water because it softens right away.

>>21477082
it takes time to soften so one end of the pasta cooks less

asians already thought about it and solved it. italians just reeeeeee everytime anyone mentions it

I only break the spaghetti when making goulash
because my mom said that was the traditional way to do it

>>21475712
the people who break pasta in half are the same subhumans who cut spaghetti with a knife into even smaller pieces

Not cooking Spaghetti (27cm) in a stainless steel PAN doesn't make sense. If you don't own a stainless steel pan that is at least 28cm you don't give a fuck about cooking anyway
