When you're boiling the noodles for spaghetti, do you have to put oil in with the water?!
Answers: only if you dont want the noodels to stick together.... The answer is Yes
you don't have to, but adding about 1 Tablespoon of oil will help keep the noodles from sticking together
Nope. I never do. You can, its not a big deal if you do, however you really wont taste any difference. But if you think it gives it a better taste, go ahead! it's really up to you.
No. Alton Brown busted that myth. His study showed no more oil on the oiled noodles than on the un-oiled noodles. If you don't want your noodles sticking together, don't overcook them.
you do if you dont want your noodles to stick together.
No, just a little salt if you want
Yes, It would be a good idea. By putting oil in the water ,the pot won't boil over.
yes
No. Oil in the water will cause the sauce to not stick to the noodles as well, and what is the point of a noodle if it's not a carrier for the yummy sauce! If you don't want your noodles to stick together, just stir them about once per minute.
do you have to add oil, no. most people add oil or salt to prevent the spaghetti from sticking.
actually no it changes cooking process of s[aghetti to be something less than desireable - a pinch of salt keeps it from sticking - signed former successful chef - but still great cook
No! To keep noodles from sticking together be sure to have plenty of water in the pot. Also, keep the water boiling rapidly at all times.
It helps the noodles from sticking together, so its not a bad idea to do it.
Not necessarily. I add salt to the water so the noodles don't stick to the pot and it actually gives them a little bit more taste. I love spaghetti and make it all the time.
Don't put oil in the water, that is a fallacy. That will stop the sauce adhering to the pasta.
The secret to stop the pasta sticking is to keep it moving.
No, but that tablespoon of oil will keep the pan from boiling over so just keep your heat a little lower. After draining put a little of your spaghetti sauce on the noodles to coat them and that will help prevent sticking. If you boil the noodles just before serving you shouldn't have a problem.
No, it doesn't do any harm but it's not necessary either.
I usually add salt to the water, though, because it's supposed to make the water boil a little more quickly.
never had too when i had to cook for my sons just boil the water pop it in lower the heat and add just a bit if salt yum yum
