How to tell without a timer

Drain now. Fresh pasta overcooks in seconds, not minutes.

How it goes

  1. Rolling boil, well salted. It floats when it is close.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
