Clean yo sink!
- But not with a toilet brush!
- I'm sinking about it

Reminded me of this lol
- and to think all lemmy users live like this
  
  I wish I had a dedicated serving trough. Just have to make do and eat them from the pot they were cooked in.
  
  That’s the picture I submitted in my Lemmy account application
- why were there so many beans in that context
  
  There's always the appropriate amount of beans unless there's not enough beans.
- That looks intentional.
- daaamn, 18° and sunny, looking goood
  
  The perfect day

You can't park there mate

You should clean your sink. Someone spilt pasta in it.
- Just pour cheese or sauce on top and eat. Then when you are done you have no dishes and just need to rinse the sink
  
  Genius

I have one of these:
I love it, much better than a normal strainer.
(And it doesn't take a lot of space in the drawer or dishwasher)
- What it's called, bb?
  
  I just googled for "flat pasta strainer", as the one I have was a present from my dad and I don't know a brand or name.
- Pasta in this picture doesn't look cooked and probably the water is not hot as well since they added a smoke effect.
  
  I grabbed this pic from Amazon to show the strainer. It's not how I cook pasta. Tbh probably every Chinese product is being shown with a sloppy photoshop pic, nowadays.

Get a metal colander.

Is that a toilet brush?
- Have you never seen a bottle brush? If not, get one. It'll change your life
  
  Yeah, but change it how? Maybe it'll run away with your partner.
  
  I've never seen one that looks like it has been used as a toilet brush and never cleaned. I do love my clean bottle brushes though.
  
  I prefer my life to be unchanged, thank you very much.
- Yeah feel like there is some context needed. Is OP pissing and shitting in that sink?

Yep, the sink is ugly.

What is this grill in the sink? Is this a thing
- It's definitely not required, but ever since we got one I've grown to like it. If you have a ceramic sink it helps prevent scratches. It also helps dishes stay put, like pot lids that normally slide around. Most of all I like it when I put a strainer down. I know the strained liquid won't touch the sink and flow back into the food, even if the risk was low before.
  
  Also gives a flat surface for pots/jugs to sit on while you're filling them with water. I have them in my sinks at home and love them.

Your side dish said "pasta la vista, baby".
- "Get to de choppah!" they said as they rushed toward the garbage disposal.

oh look, it's ordering pizza o'clock

RIP Pasta

hey. i have that colander, too

That there's why I always cook 6x the amount of pasta I need!
Just joking, it's impossible to judge how much pasta I need.
- i usually just make a lot, pasta is good as leftovers so might as well make a ton as the effort is about same
- There is, but it's not fun or interesting. Just weight the pasta. The change in volume is irrelevant, just make sure it is between 25 to 75 grams of dry pasta. Then you'll get between 50 and 150 grams of pasta per person. The weight gain is absorbed water.

Invert the strainer. Put over pot. Drain. Pasta stays in warm pot. Then add your sauce. (Doesn't work well with rice noodles or other things that need to be cooled down quickly).

:(

F

:(

Good news: half of it is saved.

I shed a tear and sing In the Arms of an Angel by Heather McLachlan every time I do this. Even for a single noodle.

Someone needs to clean that sink before your pasta goes down the drain...it'll go faster.

If your sink was a bit cleaner, you could just scoop it up
- I'd never do that, even if I just deep cleaned my sink.
  
  sink is steel, just like the pot you just used to cook the pasta, if it's clean it's clean. if in doubt rinse the pasta.
- Your kitchen sink has a mess of bacteria in it unless you recently sterilized it.
  
  They did just pour boiling water all over that area, should be relatively safe

Tiny bit o' mac and cheese? 😕

Noooooooooooo

Please, my wets.....

uugh! overcooked pasta
