My biggest gripe with cooking instructions is the non-specificity. “Stir pasta frequently”? How frequently? How continuously? Tell me in unit Hertz

I won’t accept my pasta at anything lower than 120Hz.

Not sure your pasta will survive that kind of speeds…

The human eye cannot see more than 24Hz, so why bother

I don’t understand the basis of the 24Hz limit rumor. My monitors are 144Hz, and if I limit them to 60Hz and move my mouse around I see fewer residual mouse cursors “after-images” than I do at 144Hz. That’s a simplified test that shows that the eye can perceive motion artifacts beyond 60Hz.

The eye can perceive LEDs that are rectified at 60Hz AC, it’s very annoying.

No it can see much more. Bonus: your brain can ‘see’ more than 100hz too. Google bundesen tva. Source i worked on programs to measure it for my gfs phd. Also i play fps :D

Those are some loose standards… I only accept pasta at 1.21 Jiggawatts and 88mph.

Maybe a graph of how strong the bond gets over time for 2 elements?

What kind of dumb instructions are that?

Stirring exactly once is enough in most cases.

It’s really the first couple minutes that are critical

Y’all need to salt your water.

It prevents nearly all the sticking and it makes pasta delicious

It’s not the salt that prevents the sticking. You use a larger pot with plenty of water. Still delicious though :P

And while you’re at it, shell out the extra 50 cents or whatever for the bronze cut pasta. It has a much nicer texture and allegedly makes sauce adhere to the pasta more.

Bronze cut cavatappi is the superior macaroni.
