Because macaroni (hollow noodles) is more difficult to cook than other noodles, it is suggested that macaroni should be soaked for a long time before cooking, which can reduce the cooking time and vice versa.

The criterion for judging whether macaroni is ripe is that the color of the cut surface is the same after cooking, which proves that it is ripe. If there is still a white spot in the middle, it proves that it is not ripe. When cooking macaroni, add cold water several times after the water is boiled until it is cooked thoroughly. Stir it several times during cooking, otherwise the macaroni will stick to the bottom of the pot easily.

If you want to make macaroni salad, use cold water when taking out macaroni and passing it through water. If you need to cook again, use raw water. If you don't soak the macaroni in advance and cook it directly, it may take a long time, and the macaroni will become bigger and softer after cooking.

The cooking time of macaroni depends on the kind of macaroni. Solid macaroni may be difficult to cook, while some macaroni is smaller, so it is easier to cook. If you want to save time, you can choose smaller macaroni, which is easier to make.
