I heard that you should salt your pasta water because if you don't you will summon an angry Italian grandma who will hit you with a wet noodle. 😳

speaking as an Italian person, we arent trying to make it boil faster. you have to season the pasta water.

please explain the opposite now. why does salt make ice feel colder? like when people made ice cream the old way, they would put salt on the ice.

The main thing I took from this video is that in an American accent 'pasta' and 'faster' don't rhyme. In a Kiwi accent they totally do 😅

Ad Salt for flavor. And maybe garlic. So it doesn't taste like cardboard

I have taken the Italian route with every pot of pasta water i have, and salted it till it tastes like the ocean. I have a 1kg thing of salt for it.

Purely annecdotal, but if I add salt while my water is coming up to boil, it takes FOREVER to boil, so I always add it once it's reached a boil

There is a scientific reason to salt the water you cook vegetables in. It's called diffusion and osmosis aka food gets soggy and tastes like water.
