Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta
do these playlists factor in considerations like altitude and water mineral content?
Also how much salt you have added, the size of the pot and water volume (maintaining a boil), whether the lid is on/off/partly covering the pot, energy output of the heat source...? And to be perfectly honest i like my pasta slightly past 'al dente', especially when cooking dry pasta.
In the past I really struggled cooking pasta in the times shown on the packets on my home sovetop, but then learned to properly use the lid of my pots. I fully cover the pot with the lid to bring to the boil, add the pasta and leave the lid partially over the pot (~70% covered) to maintain a 'rolling boil', and now it cooks more consistently and quicker.
With or without ads?
You don't need to listen to ads. Spotube or XManager for Android based devices, or just listen in a Firefox based browser with reasonable ad blocking from your PC or laptop. I don't have premium, but I never hear ads.
Barilla is very anti LGBTQ if I recall correctly FYI
PS: Apparently they've changed their attitude
Okay but if they're as off as the times printed on the packet then it still does me no good 😭 lol
How are you cooking your pasta? It should be:
- Wait until water boils
- Drop in pasta
- Wait until water boils again, then start the timer
The cook time varies a lot based on how dry the pasta is, which depends on how old they are, how they've been stored, and the air humidity where they're stored. It can vary as much as ±5min. Even on a conventional stovetop, it takes about 30s at most to come back to a boil after you drop in the pasta.
The best way to get perfectly cooked pasta is to regularly check on them.
I've found that whether barilla is precise or not changes geographically. it still is not a great brand, not even for budget.
Okay, that’s just funny
For the love of god, use the crosspost feature. Posting this to multiple communities just clogs up people's feed.
I did
In any case, I'm cross-posting content from .ml comms to the nearest non-.ml comm as part of ongoing boycotting efforts to reduce .ml's influence to make defederation an easier decision for admins everywhere because of the .ml admins insistence to push their Tankie ideology through various means from censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China to allowing propaganda outlets (such as RT) to flourish
So to that end, if you'd like a less clogged up feed, you can always Instance block .ml
Thank you for your service.
For what it’s worth, I’ve been boycotting ML since I started my LBZ account (8 months ago now), and I’ve found there is more than enough content without relying on ML.
(And as you can tell by my post and comment count, I am addicted to lemmy, like I’ve made a decent amount over 4k contributions).
Nice
No. For the love of god, open a bug report to your devs. Multiple posts to the same link shouldn't clog anything if your frontend has a dedup feature.
Stop complaining and open a feature request.
Does crossposting fix that in the native ui?
So one song?
