We can really use savings tricks – and pasta tips anyway. In order to save energy, it is now advised to “passively” cook pasta.

In view of the rising energy prices, one begins to ponder where one could be more economical. And for which energy guzzlers there are smart alternatives. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference. You can already save when cooking pasta! We explain how it works and what you should pay attention to.

Cook pasta passively

The fact that the pasta continues to simmer in the boiling water has now been changed.

  1. First heat the water until it boils once. Then add the noodles and continue to simmer for two minutes.
  2. Next, turn off the stovetop and let it simmer until done. It is important that you put the lid on.
  3. Now it’s time to wait for the preparation time indicated on the packaging!

Don’t worry, your noodles won’t float in the lukewarm water. Most stovetops, with the exception of induction, stay hot longer anyway. Due to the water bath in which they swim, the cooking time is not extended and everything tastes the same as usual. But we save a little energy at the same time!
