When we lived in San Francisco and used a lot of oil and rice, we learned from an old old plumber to pour boiling water down our sink and one of the easiest ways was when we were making pasta it helps melt away everything and keep it clear
Put some salt and baking soda in the sink drain, add some vinegar (it'll fizzle) let it do it's action while cooking pasta and pour over the drain. Great for septic system too
@@Mojo-ld8xt that combo I never heard of.. I use baking soda and white vinegar for my drains including my dish washer. Don’t know what your salt is for
@@beanetricemcdaniel6853 I don't know, but my guess is that salt works as an abrasive. But don't quote me, for all I know there is a chemical reaction that I'm unaware of.
I have a special colander that sits inside my pot and I use that occasionally, and then all I have to do is lift it out (it has a handle like a bucket) and then dump the water from the pot into the sink while the pasta is still inside the colander. Your trick would probably only work for smaller pasta. It would not work for spaghetti or other pasta that has to be stirred consistently. :)
I have the two pot strainer set,the large pasta strainer that goes inside of the large pot when you're cooking any kind of pasta and you just lift up the strainer to drain the pasta and the small strainer to sit on top for steaming vegetables
I saw this tip on another channel on YT and have been fantasising about using it because I am always looking for an opportunity not to have to wash my colander. I also reently bought a bowl shaped metal mesh strainer which I plan on using for the same purpose. This is even better because when I remove it from the pot I can sit it down in the sink for as long as I need to.
Good idea! That'll work for me! That saves time!; love it! Thanks Ms. Pam ! Keep it coming! I can use the extra time!! God continue to bless you and family!❤
I don't see that working too well for any long pasta or a lot of pasta. I long for one of those tall pots with the strainer insert; they tend to be very expensive though😢.
I do have one of those pots and I love it. But this works for longer pasta too with a larger strainer and larger pot because the pasta shrinks down and is not long anymore as it cooks. Thanks
Pam is the grandma I’ve never had 😢 I have a garden that is thriving… I’ve learned various life hacks… I come check for recalls… Literally my “let me go ask granny” is let me check Pam’s page 😂 Love ALL of your content ❤
I have a pasta pot, quite tall, and it has a separate perforated inner which you drop in. Lift out the inner, all liquid left in the pot. It also has a steamer insert that sits above the water. Great find in a charity shop.

I always pour boiling water down my drains
With this hack, now none of my adventurous pasta will escape with it 😂

Great idea Pam. Thanks. Sometimes it amazes me that I haven't thought of some of the hacks I see. Smh Thank goodness for you and others.
You are so welcome!
I have a pasta pot. It came with an insert that has a handle for removing it
As always, great cooking with Pam. Love her
That insert can also help with stuff getting burned.
Dang I just made mac and lost a few noodles soldiers down the drain 😅! Ahhh next time. Thanks Aunty!
Welcome
Love your hacks, keep them coming!!!

I cannot say how many times I have chased my pasta around. This is a great idea.
Thanks Pam. Another great idea!
I never thought about that thank you Ms Pam ‼️👏👏👏

And need to use some of the pasta water… thanks Pam!
Girl you're so sharp...I do look forward to seeing your tips ❤😊
Doesn’t the boiling “around” bouncing around in the water help it to cook more evenly? 🤔
Love it and love your channel!❤️
AND you get to save the pasta water for use in your dish!
Thanks for the tip pam.
Brilliant! Subscribed!

Hi! I absolutely love this idea!!!! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Pam, you're so smart!
Genius Pam ❤
Why do the strainers get rusty?
I like pasta and always subscribed Pam!
Thanks for the tip
Thank you so much, dear lady, for sharing your knowledge in such a kind way. Bless you😊
That’s how it’s done in restaurants. Then, pasta is finished in a pan - often with an eye-popping amount of butter!
Pam is the best ever👌🤗♥️
I learned the water from pasta or potato’s are good for plants . It gives alot of vitamins
Hi Pam, I’ve never thought of cooking pasta in that unique way differently will try it-I appreciate all ur wonderful tips👍!
