Need to Boil Pasta?

If you have an electric stove-top, you are most likely prone to boil-overs.

Here's a great tip: once your water comes to a rolling boil, dump your pasta in. Bring the pasta back up to a boil and shut the burner off.

The heating elements on electric stoves take much longer to cool down than gas, so your water will continue to boil for a little while and also remain hot for much longer.

Just 'cook' your pasta for it's regular time noted on the box and it will be done when the timer goes off.

The perk? Not only will you not have a messy boil over to clean, but you are saving some pennies too.
