2.4.6. COOKING TIPS
 Rinse pasta after cooking only if it is for cold dishes or if the pasta will NOT be served
immediately.
 For best results when cooking dry pasta, use at
least 1 gallon of water for every 1 lb. of dry pasta.
 Sticky cooked pasta can be avoided by increasing
the quantity of water per pound or use of the
manual fill option while cooking (if equipped). The
manual fill should be set to a trickle while cooking to
allow the water continue boiling.
 When storing pasta, keep the sauce separate
because the pasta will continue to absorb liquids
after cooking.
 Cooking oil can be added to cooked pasta prior to
storage to prevent sticking. 1-2 tsp. of oil per pound
(cooked) is typical.
