I use butter. It has all the salts and oils necessary.
I used to use olive oil, but solid foods require solid fats.
put the oil or butter on the pasta after it's done cooking...putting oil or butter in the water with the pasta is bad...bad, bad, bad....it may completely disrupt the temporal flow of this timeline...as a chef, I'm with Chef on this one... 8)

Chef, don't you think threads about the finer points of pasta cooking are a little, well, metrosexual, for your big, bad palangi self?
If you put oil in your pasta water you are just wasting oil.
(OMG, don't tell Dick Cheney. He'll get Bush to invade your kitchen!)
I concur. Any kind of fat in pasta water is utterly useless. You have to put it on the pasta after filtering the water out, when pasta is cooked.
Acceptable forms of fat to put on pasta:
- spagghetti sauce
- carbonara sauce (+ raw egg as an option)
- napoletana sauce
- coconut milk with curry and fried onion rings and raisins
- tomato sauce with either garlic or basilic

I think it's tasty, so there.
actually about a tablesppon of vegetable oil in a pan of boiling water helps your pastacook faster :P
and CHEF, I'm with guido on this one.

oil AND AND butter?
dude! wtf?
gopt somethign agasin sticky noodles or soemthing?
personally i use water. tho i dont; make the stuff often. abit of salt to make the water boil faster. don;t help much tho, i jst read while i cook.
I normally do my best to avoid cooking.
But if I have to cook pasta, all I use is a little salt and then I add a bit of olive oil after the water has been drained off the noodles or whatever.

40/40... don't tell.
I ate pasta for lunch today.
Mmmm......pasta.
Not going to tell you if I cooked it or not - and if I did cook it, I'm not going to tell you what I put in the water.
there's a cullinary purpose to putting oil in the water your using to cook water, I can't remember what it is right this second, but I know there is one.

No.
yes there is. my goldfish like memory prevents me from knowing what it is right now. but there is a purpose to putting oil in your pasta water.
It's supposed to prevent the water from boiling over.
Quote from: Wenchmaster KIt's supposed to prevent the water from boiling over.
WRONG ANSWER.
IT IS TO PREVENT THE PASTA FROM GETTING STICKY. COMPETENT CHEFS DON'T NEED IT.
I like my pasta extremely slippery, like a good orgy.

WRONG ANSWER.

Both wrong.
Oil in water does not change any physical properties of water so it boils the same, and unless you poured a gallon of it over the water it wouldn't prevent a boil-over (but then it'd make vapor bubbles form under the oil and explode, sending boiling oil all over, which is WORSE).
Oil in water does not make the pasta un-sticky. It does not even gets inside the pasta because pasta is polar in nature and repels oil. So it has no flavoring purpose and no un-stickifying purpose.
eh, I'll do it anyway next time I make pasta. Only because CHEF told me not to.

Putting oil on pasta after pasta is cooked: tasty and yummy
Putting oil in water with pasta while boiling: stupid, pointless, and a waste of good oil...
you are using good oil, right? Cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil? none of this canola bullshit...

Grandpa had an Italian restraunt/bakery for about 50 years and I spent a lot of time there,
so even
I know that the only oil to have in a kitchen is cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil.
And he never added oil or butter to the water when he boiled pasta.
He kept a spray bottle of olive oil and sprayed a little bit on the pasta after it was cooked.
I would kill for some of Grandpa's homemade ravioli right about now.

The oil at the top of the water breaks the surface tension of the water (which at this point contains gluten from the pasta), and prevents boiling over.
Alton Brown is The Man. (and is related to Pope Gregory XIII)
Somehow I don't think the oil breaks the water's tension, since drops of oil in water stay round instead of immediatly spreading over the largest surface of water available.
I rest my case.
Seeing as how I cannot find any science to back me up, I'll have to cede this one to you, sir.
::cedes::
Well, I could experiment with boiling water and oil, but I'd hate to waste all that just to prove a point :/
if you did, I think you might find that the oil does indeed spread itself out and break the surface tension of the water...just don't put any pasta in the Infidel Oil-Water or you too will be first agains the wall when the revolution comes... 8)
addendum to previous post: this may vary according to the viscosity of the specific oil, and the temperature of the oil and the water....I am strictly speaking for olive oil and boiling water...
I think making pasta is a lot like cunnilingus. Everyone has thier own way, and it's all just about as good.
if you ask the girls I know, who tend to be brutally honest about those kinds of things, then no...it's not all just as good...being that my current career is heavily dependent on the correct cooking of pasta, I'm gonna have to say that your analogy is flawed on both ends...sort of like my ugly pet frog...he has a club foot...and he's lost one eye....

Further... if the grease contained in the flaver sachet of one packet of instant noodles is enough to change the structure of approximately half a litre of water in such that it will boil over the pot and onto the stovetop if added all at once. how much oil would you need to do the same?
Quote from: St. Trollax, ODDFurther... if the grease contained in the flaver sachet of one packet of instant noodles is enough to change the structure of approximately half a litre of water in such that it will boil over the pot and onto the stovetop if added all at once. how much oil would you need to do the same?
Hint: it isn't the grease that does that and it isn't, "changing the structure of [the] water". It is the sudden addition of many, many gas nucleation points (the powdered flavour stuff) that allows water vapour to form lots of bubbles. The grease and stuff do help the foam hang around for a bit longer but that's about it.

Do not forget, Turd, that the Aneristic order is of apparent order. This is not to say that order is not useful. The brain primarily recognizes patterns, so it's not so hard to see that naturally we'd measure things on a base ten system.

Man, I was looking for a coffee machine, and I went into Starbucks, and they had just the kind I wanted - a little one, like a 2-cupper. I asked them how much it was and they said $349. I about sht myself, this was not a fancy digital reads your mind and makes the coffee you're thinking of making kind of thing, it was a bare bones model. So I went next door to Fred Meyer and found the exact same kind machine for $60. Hah. Stupid schmucks. I haven't bought Starbucks since. Why should I, when I can make my own?

So that's where you got your sig. Was wondering if it had anything to do with Star$.
A coffeehouse in Brockport sells bumperstickers that say "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks." They make the best Tiramisu, too.
You know what's lame? I actually like the taste of Starbucks, I know if I go in there and cough up three bucks, they'll give me a very nice cup of joe. But I just can't do that anymore, 'cause hubby and me gotta get up early for school and it's fucking cold out - so we'd go broke with a Starbucks habit. I'm pretty sure that we've already had more than 20 cups of coffee from that machine, so it's paid for itself. :)
Speaking of Foamy, I was at Hot Topic last week, and they have a button with a pic of him holding an acorn. The text reads "Feel the wrath of my nuts!" :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have a sign in my window that reads "Bush sucks, Kerry sucks, Nader sucks, Foamy for President."

Oil in the pasta water has always helped get just a bit on the pasta to prevent it from sticking together. I have added it later, but usually get too much. I might not use oil if I plan to sauce the pasta, but I've never really tried this.
i used to think it (a couple drops of oil) kept the boiling water from frothing and foaming and reduced boiling over, but its a unnecessary precautions..

You all seem to be missing the obvious.
Not all people like their pasta boiled, so putting oil in the water means that you can both boil and fry the pasta simultaneously.
Thus every diner at your table is pleased. except for the namby-pamby-no-oil-in-my-pasta purist heretics.
