You were supposed to push it down as it softened

I didn't even know this was a thing.

Is such a thing even possible?

It's actually almost happened to me once. I had the fire on my gas range up too high so the flames went around the pot rather than just applying heat directly to the bottom, which let the spaghetti burn a little. Generally, I don't bother pushing the spaghetti down since they tend to just fall down by themselves.

If you don't push them down they get burned in the middle. Just like the four pieces on the left of the pot there.

I always just cook my spaghetti in a pot large enough to submerge on its own..
no reason to push or break. it just kinda happens.

A staged photo, that's how it happens.

talk about unevenly cooked pleb pasta

or do you just let it all boil for 30 minutes to shitty mush?

>> No.5642909

>>5642897
maybe not actually.

It is a fire stove. The pot is VERY small. From the frothing in the pot around the pasta you can tell it's been heating for a while.

So with a huge open flame and that much overhang dry pasta, yeah it's plausible.

not very likely though, the flame would burn the pasta closest to the pot before it would burn the tips. There's also no bubbles in the pot and the pasta in the water isn't even soft, suggesting that the flame wasn't on very high at all, let alone high enough to burn the pasta.

Methinks this was a staged photo.

But you could be right: if someone put the pasta in a pot with cold water and then cranked up the flames to a crazy level, then sure, it could happen. I think that entails so much stupidity I think it's more likely to be staged though.

Are you really claiming that a flame on a normal cook stove can catch the tips of spaghetti on fire that are at least 10 inches or more away from the flame?

And note that some spaghetti hanging to the side that would be closer to the flame isn't on fire at all.

I break it in half anyway. Shorter noodles are convenient.
