  1. Oil on your pasta is great – AFTER it's drained. Some restaurants use it when they prep pasta ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Then it gets warmed in the sauce.

  2. If you don’t want the water to boil over put a wooden spoon or spatula on the pot, it’s not gonna stop it completely but definitely hinders it from spilling everywhere.

  3. This is basic knowledge in cooking. But not many people listen or care and put oil in water anyway.

  4. For some reason people completely forget the old adage that "oil and water don't mix" when it comes to cooking

  5. doesn't people know that oil floats on water? how is it supposed to prevent the pasta from sticking, it's cooking UNDER the water

  6. Interesting.. I always use salt and never had a sticking problem however, after it’s done cooking I tend to drizzle oil on the noodles to prevent sticking and I never even considered sauce sticking to the pasta…

  7. Sir olive oil just do one thing it keeps sauces away… As in your one of the earlier video you praised those pasta shapes which are like sauce magnets but boiling with olive oil keeps sauces away

  8. What are people even doing for it to stick? I guess a combination of cheap pasta, no stir at all, and overcooking till they dissolve?

  9. Absolutely wrong. The lipids disruption the coagulation of proteins that are released from the pasta( they get together and trap the oxygen related from boiling) by making the outside layer too heavy. Once the pasta is drained, the sauce, if emulsified correctly, will stick to the pasta. You're smart, but not smarter than chemistry. Cheers and keep being awesome.
