When boiling pasta, normally you would add the oil in the pasta cooking water to prevent sticking. However, according to Executive Chef Hotel Dharmawangsa, vIndEx Tengker, this is not helpful.
“Adding oil in boiling water is not going to make the pasta so it is not sticky,” he told Compass Female, in the event Chef of the Year, Unilever Food Solutions in Epicentrum Walk, South Jakarta, Monday (23/04/2012).
VIndEx explained, if you add oil when boiling pasta, that happens you will just spend a lot of oil and dispose of waste in the cooking water.
“We recommend that when boiling the pasta, add just enough salt to it to make a tasty pasta so much,” he explained.
In order not sticky and not dry quickly, add a little cooking oil or olive oil after boiled and drained pasta. Then stir until the oil is evenly distributed to all parts. However, it is clear vIndEx only necessary if you want to keep the pasta. According to him, this way can make the pasta you want to keep after it is cooked, it becomes sticky and stuck because of the humidity up.
“But if you do not need to be eaten immediately drained pasta is not necessary to add oil, because when the hot pasta does not stick,” he concluded.
