It was all cooked wrong before! The correct way to open spaghetti
Experimental materials
Cooking noodles: spiral spaghetti 1g/ serving, clear water.
sauce: 5g of clear water, 1g/ of cream/serving, 5g of boiling water.
reboiling time
after reboiling, 75ml water: 7s and 15ml water: 7s.
conclusion: the time of reboiling has nothing to do with the amount of water, but with the amount of pasta.
spaghetti state after p>12min
75ml boiling water: a small amount of white core (cooking is finished).
15ml boiling water: it takes 15min to boil at least the white core.
consistency of boiling water
75ml boiling water: thick, with low transparency.
15ml boiling water: thin and highly transparent.
cooking time
under cold water: under cold water: about 11min.
under hot water: under hot water: about 13min.
boiling water: it will stick without stirring.
juice hanging state
juice hanging state of boiled noodles: easy to hang juice and evenly wrapped.
clear water hanging juice state: small lump adhesion.
First, pour a large pot of water, boil it, add salt and pasta, and after a long wait, the pasta finally softens, and then fish it into the pot to mix the sauce. Either the waiting time is too long or the pasta is overcooked.
Process and Results
Take spiral pasta as an example, take 1g/ serving and cook it in different ways; Until a small amount of white core is left, it is regarded as cooking, and the required time and pasta state are recorded.
① Different amount of water (boiling water)
Cooking time: 75ml-12min <; 15ml-15 minutes.
water consistency of boiled noodles: 75ml- thick > 15ml- thin.
water reboiling time: 7s.
② Pot boiling time (75ml water)
Pot boiling in cold water for 11 minutes <; Boil for 12 minutes.
if the pan is not stirred in boiling water, the pasta will still stick to the pan.
③ juice hanging state
Add boiling water: easy to hang juice, evenly wrap/add water: stick in small pieces.
summary: it is not necessary to put a lot of water or boiling water into the pot. The best way to avoid sticking to the pot is to stir it instead of boiling water. Adding boiling water is good for sauce to wrap spaghetti. It turns out that word of mouth is not a good way.
Principle explanation
How much water does it take to cook spaghetti
It can be cooked without spaghetti. People subconsciously think that a lot of water can store more heat energy; After cooking, the water will return to boiling state faster, which will shorten the cooking time.
the opposite is true. On the one hand, the water needs more time to boil; On the other hand, when the noodles are put into the pot, the heat lost in the pot = the heat required to cook the spaghetti to 1℃. When the amount of spaghetti is fixed, this part of energy is also fixed, and the time for reboiling is the same, regardless of the amount of water.
Some people are worried that the amount of water is too small and the boiling water is too thick, resulting in sticky noodles. Surprisingly, the thick boiling water makes the pasta more delicious, just look at it.
Boiling water can prevent noodles from sticking
No, so there is no need to boil water. If it is not stirred, even in a large pot of boiling water, noodles will stick or stick to the pot. The key is to stir it several times in 1 to 2 minutes after cooking until the outer layer is cooked, so as to avoid the problem of sticking.
boiling water will not only increase the waiting time, but also make the pasta more difficult to cook and soften. Because the outer layer of starch is gelatinized, it is difficult for water to enter the interior of pasta, leaving a white hard core. If you want to cook it thoroughly, it will be faster to put it in cold water.
What is the function of boiling water?
Emulsify the sauce. Thick boiled noodle water is full of starch, and its composition and function are the same as that of thicken juice. The sauce emulsified by boiling water is refreshing and smooth, and it is easier to stick to pasta, making the dishes more delicious.
