eathermaiden "That adding salt to water will raise/lower the pasta water sufficiently to cook it faster.""

the reason for this is that by saltwater has a lower boiling point then regular water so it "boils faster" so they assume tha the food will cook faster as a result when in reality is jsut bubbles at a lower teperature

that said u should still salt it because thats where a huge amount of the flavor of pasta comes from

over all though im astounded at all the people that are badmouthing all these foods and trying to preach the vegitarian live well sorry to say not everyone wants to remove most of the enjoyment from there food

you only get one life and while we should eat healthy that doesnt meant we shouldnt eat some things or enjoymetn too its all about balance and controling our portions is the best thing we can do
personaly i dont think ive gone a day w/o meat in my life and im 6 ft 240 lbs but with less than 7 % body fat and in great health
so u cna eat meat and even junk foods and be healthy too so dont be so quick to judge us meat eaters my lil veg friends ;)

im not sure where else there located but if ur ever in st peters/st charles misouri ( jsut outside st louis) theres a place called cullivers and they have what they refer to as butter burgers and let me just say there a small sample of what food in heaven must taste like :)
