Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.

Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

That results in uneven cooking. It’s not recommended.

The alternative you offered is a shitload more work. Someone willing to break their spaghetti in half to fit their pot is really fricken unlikely to decide that spending an hour making fresh pasta is a better option than just ending up with “uneven” pasta.

Like I said, you can also just buy it from the same grocery store where you buy dried pasta. It’s in the refrigerated section.

In my experience, that takes at most 30 seconds until they're all submerged. Are we talking about really tiny pots, very long spaghetti, or such a short cooking time that the difference is noticeable?

To be fair, I personally like to let spaghetti boil a long time, but I've also never heard of anyone around me having problems with uneven cooking
