What is the Perfect Cook Time for Pasta? (And What Happens When You Go WAY Over?) | Epicurious

[@007goretex]

this was dumb. i loved this, thanks for doing this

[@guardiangregory]

Agreed. Pure science

[@guardiangregory]

Agreed. Pure science

[@ann-kd7cz]

obsessed with this video concept 😭 do it again but with steak or boiled eggs

[@nylotical]

Suggesting this is akin to attempted poisoning

[@Phoenixz33]

I prefer to cook my pasta for 5 + 3i minutes because I want the flavor to be complex.

[@kozmobluemusic]

you've got to be imagining things

[@nylotical]

@@kozmobluemusic I didn’t wanna say anything because I didn’t wanna sound overly negative, but yeah… that doesn’t sound all that rational.

[@rollin60z]

What's 3i???

[@milessteenvoorden2832]

​@@rollin60z it's complex

[@nylotical]

@ the square root of -3

[@FilipKik]

Personally 47minutes is the sweet spot for me... not a minute over. Melt in your mouth texture.🤤

[@comedianking83]

53 in my perfect spot. Melt in the pot tenderness...😂

[@fingerbottom]

I find at 48 minutes that the pasta starts to get al dente again.

[@ZhouXiao717]

Is no one else impressed that he's separating the pasta strands with his hands?

[@kroyhevia]

Lava hands

[@ginger_nosoul]

I like to go for a few hours until it totally disintegrates and i can drink it. 😂

[@NoHandleToSpeakOf]

That's a wallpaper glue.

[@whatshername369]

One time, I was telling my mother about cooking my pasta. I told her that I had forgotten and I boiled it too long. She said totally DEADPAN, "Did you drink it anyway?"

[@IceTTom]

+ put it in the dehydrator.. turn it into powder. Snort it.

[@HermanVonPetri]

I didn't expect this video to give me so much anxiety. But knowing that the timer was going off every minute while he was still talking, combined with the fact that I'm generally a terrible multi-tasker in the kitchen, it made me really tense.

[@IceTTom]

And here I thought going to space/military special operations/ gene cloning.. was difficult! 🥴

[@tlagomars]

You're doing great as a newer presenter on this channel! Also continue to make videos like this, they are great!

[@TurnOntheBrightLights.]

Every minute past 8 minutes, an Italian spontaneously faints

[@alibutterfly82]

It's like those times I've forgotten I put ramen on and then come back and literally all the water has absorbed into the noodles.

[@CuntreeMylz]

i actually know what youre talking about

[@rum8121]

So I always assumed that most if not all hot sauces should go in the fridge. I looked it up. Came across this video and now I’m here.

[@dianeladico1769]

When I was a kid I discovered that dry spaghetti bent in half almost always breaks into three pieces with the middle part flying everywhere. I also learned that while my mother appreciated the science of it I still had to clean it up. Ditto with the 'spaghetti is cooked when it sticks when flung against the cabinets'. My poor parents.

[@danialothman]

my annual dose of pasta science is filled.

[@ouzoloves]

Would you consider saving the pasta water for thickening sauces without having to use corn flour?

[@IceTTom]

Did you even watch the video?? He goes over this a few times....

[@cqt1228]

for the science of it and since we're talking about hydrating the pasta, how long will it be if we just put the pasta in still water until it fully hydrates??

[@birdmasterthecaffeinatedowl]

I like jack! Bring him around more often. I loved him in the mac n cheese & french fry epi

[@arthurswart4436]

You can soak pasta in cold water for about 20 minutes, then just cook it for a minute and add the sauce for a nice al dente bite.

[@natsu330]

Wait til Mr.Sausage sees this!!

[@svsguru2000]

it will probably end up like canned spaghetti

[@ShortyMars]

Nice❤

[@slsamg_5thscale]

@10:07 underrated Pavlov joke

[@voldosmith]

Great video

[@PerillyGaming]

I’m so hydrated

[@dodge10P1N]

I personally prefer my pasta a little over al dente. I think probably around the 12-13 minute mark.

[@Mookawow]

Wow! Rory McIllroy is doing a cooking show?

[@oldcowbb]

mr sausage looks different today

[@EarlySpringBird]

Автор відео забрав 45 хвилин мого життя. Мені варто було зупинити перегляд відео на восьмій хвилині! Добре хоч кухар наївся 😂

[@Debsaok]

Who hasn't eaten raw pasta as a kid? 😂

[@NeilPennington-f8o]

Love the comment section full of children trying to be funny while missing the whole point.

[@jaym5602]

I wonder what the water is like

[@Programentalist]

I was really disappointed he didn't try it.

[@MajinGatomon]

put it in, wait 10 minutes. Perfect. Screw Al Dente

[@klontjespap]

i like to marry the sauce with the pasta though so i'm pulling it 2 minutes ahead :D

[@kurtiscleary9759]

Big deal ive done this dozens if times after ive fallen asleep drunk😅

[@username7790]

w video

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I would never have gone 45 minutes, even as an experiment. In this context, I probably would have stopped at 15. There seems to be no point in going any further.

[@jupiterwilkymay5161]

and here i was cooking my pasta for 30minutes. how foolish of me

[@CyrusTJ]

Handsome😊

[@surokoida]

Im so sorry for him lol. Trying to talk, provide information and context while every minute the timer rings. Stressfull to watch :D

[@baraopequeno3605]

this video could use some music

[@zach2992]

Very disappointed this is not a 45 minute long video in real-time. Release the full cut!

[@ToxicSpork]

Thanks for letting us know that properly cooked pasta is better than overcooked pasta. Up next, toast: burnt vs not burnt

[@everactivedad]

All of Italy is very offended

[@JohnnyBGoode-q7n]

Uuhhhh…why?

[@ZaidValRoa]

Because it can be done.

[@anotherfreakingaccount]

for science!

[@Vincent67337]

Dry spaghetti noodles will snap into three pieces if you break them like he did at the beginning of this video.

[@tangoangel2782]

Pasta should not be “nice yellow” to begin with. Pick bronze cut.

[@mduvigneaud]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@Mr.Nakasuri]

So what color should egg yolk and flour create? How does extruding pasta dough through bronze change that?

[@ShortyMars]

:)

[@bienveillance_]

This is so stupid, why did you guys even bother doing this-

[@floopyboo]

Please stop using bigotry pasta. Unsubscribed because I know y'all hate people like me if you can support that brand so openly.

[@ixchelkali]

I avoid bigotry pasta myself, but nowhere in this video do I see any product placement, nor does he mention the brand name of the pasta, so I don't know how you know what brand he's using. I don't see him supporting any brand openly. What are you seeing that I don't?

[@WaterMalone42]

what a waste of time, water, salt and pasta

[@savagecactus6847]

You are a waste of
