Cook Pasta Using the Pot in Pot Method

You can use this method to cook smaller amounts of pasta or even individual servings.

For this Demo I will use 1 cup of pasta and cook it Pot in Pot.

So add 1 cup of water in the liner, then put in your trivet. Next is your PIP pot (I used a stainless mixing bowl). To the mixing bowl add 1 cup of pasta, and add water just to cover (maybe a little over). Then cook 5 to 6 minutes. QR.

I have found with this cooking method that the timing is closer to the actual time on the box. Don't worry too much about the water in the pasta since you can always drain it if you need to.

It makes one perfect little bowl of al dente pasta. I used mini bow ties for this. Worked out great. I let it sit in the pot after QR for 1 to 2 min until it was a bit softer.

You may have to adjust your time for regular-size pasta or thicker pasta. I haven't done that yet. This mini bow tie worked nicely though.
