Every time I try to boil a pot of water to make spaghetti, I leave the kitchen to go do something else (I am very busy lol). Sometimes I come back to find the pot boiling over and a mess on my stove! Is there some way I can make the water boil more slowly so I have more time to run my errands?
My water is boiling too fast

Best Answer
Turn the temperature down - Once the pot reaches boil, it takes a lot less energy to keep it boiling, turning the temperature down it will keep it from boiling quite so violently.
Don't overfill your pot - Makes sure you are using a pot large enough to handle all the water and pasta
A teaspoon of oil will also help - This helps keep the water from building the bubbles causing it to foam over. When you cook spaghetti, do you add olive oil to the boiling water?
