Just freeze the pasta water, then you can reuse it for the next pasta and you don’t need new boiling water

Better yet, keep it boiling and save the heat as well.

Use the pasta steam to run a turbine to power the stove

Like those ancient Chinese broths. My pasta water has boiled for ages

I didnt, I was adding to it.

Freezing and thawing the pasta water is a huge waste of energy. Might as well just get new water from the tap.

Thanks. I thought it might be a joke but I really couldn’t tell. Some people really do think we should try to save water at all costs, not realizing that electricity is often more precious than clean water.

No no. You freeze the boiling water then when you thaw it out it will be boiling again. Ezpz
