Tips about cooking with water


Some simple tips about using water sourced from Ruhlman'sTwenty which I posted about yesterday.

He says that cooks commonly don't use big enough pots or enough water when they are cooking pasta or vegetables.  He is of the view that you need a sufficiently large quantity of water so that it doesn't go off the boil when you put the pasta or veges in.  Then they will cook much more quickly and better too. 
Another suggestion he had was to cook meatloaf in a water bath in the oven rather than with direct heat.  I am certainly going to try this out.

Tap v bottled water




I shudder when I think how much money I spent on bottled water before seeing the light and switching to our perfectly good town water supply.  Thank goodness it is now quite acceptable to order tap water in restaurants rather than overpriced bottled water.

Having said that I do tend to drink bottled water when I travel.
