If you’d like to read the consequences of a man explaining on Twitter how he told his girlfriend she was cooking pasta wrong, click thru to the link.
The key point tho was new to me. From the article: “the lesson in the incident is that the girlfriend is right, as Kenji has proven over and over, since he first wrote about it almost a decade ago, and as Alton Brown has shown us on his show and on the internet. The experts all agree: standard grocery-store dried pasta cooked from cold water will turn out no differently than when cooked in boiling water.” Who knew?
