Cooking Myths?

I timed water boiling from room temp and from cold temp of 18C. After 3 attempts, I can safely conclude that room temp water boils at an earlier time than cold water. Obviously it is because the temperature range to cover is much less. As for cooking pasta, adding salt does not decrease the time to bring to boil. It just imparts the flavor to pasta. And with careful stirring, you really do not need oil in the water to prevent sticking.
