If you are boiling spaghetti, will it cook faster if temperature is increased?
Answers:
Don’t think so. Logically wouldn’t it reach boiling point faster?
Watch out for the spaghetti monster.
It could if the water was turned up to be hotter.
No it will just burn it. I would say put the spaghetti on it's normal temperature. and let it wait. Save the best for last
You can't raise the temperature of water higher than boiling point.
No, not necessarily once it is boiling, it is boiling, can't make it go higher. Pasta cooks so fast anyway.
Well, if you turn your burner on high, of course the water will boil faster. Place a lid on the pot to quicken the boiling time. Then add the pasta give it 7-10 minutes for "al dente".
how can you get it hotter than boiling!?!
Hey there! Yes it will cook faster if you turn up the heat, but it seems you are in a hurry, dont rush it, take your time, and to make sure its soft dont pinch it like alot of people do, take out a noodle or two and bite or eat it, thats the best way to tell if its done, make sure its not TOO HOT of course before you bite into it lol lol!!
YES. I can't believe no one else knows this. OK, basic chemistry. I am so glad you asked this. I love to share it.
Water boils at 212 F and 100 C. It will never get hotter on its own because it is a pure substance.
Adding a dash or two of salt will make it an impure substance and therefore allow the temp to go higher.
Salt will season the water and increase the boiling temp. Your pasta will, in fact, cook faster.
when you bring your water to a boil, linzeyloo, that's as hot as you can get it.
yes it is possible, if you want your spaghetti cooked quick buy the quick cook stuff!
yes
PamelaRK is correct, everyone else is wrong.
Yes, but the only way to increase the temperature is to increase the pressure in the pot.
At sea level, water boils (i.e., vaporizes, becomes steam) at 100°C (212°F), so its temperature will not increase beyond this point. Any additional energy (heat) goes toward changing the phase of the water from liquid to vapor instead of increasing the temperature.
If the pot were covered and sealed so that the steam did not escape, the pressure would increase and the boiling point of the water will increase with it enough to speed the cooking process. This is the way pressure cookers work.
However, spaghetti cooking directions are based on conventional cookware and tell you to cook with the lid off. You will not know how much faster the pasta will cook without experimentation or some reference material.
Plainly increasing the heat will heat the pot quicker, but will not cook the pasta any faster. Any heat you add after reaching a rolling boil will just be wasted to surroundings.
Also consider that adding salt to the water will make the water boil hotter.
Spaghetti or any pasta willl cook even if you bring it to a boil and then turn off the heat but leave it on the warm stove burner. I've done it.
The numbet is 212f 100c that temp get Less for each 1000ft you go up
212 or 100
basically that is that will it boil more vigorously yes but at the magic #
Pasta should always be added to boiling water. Stirred, and brought back to the boil for the alloted time anywhere from 6-15 minutes depending upon the pasta used......but it should always be boiling. If not it will usually stick together, even tho that may happen anyway you can drain and put sauce on it to separate it.
Good Luck.......
