    Yeah, right?

    You stir it every couple minutes and once it doesn’t feel stiff anymore you start trying a piece with every stir.

    Al dente literally means “to the tooth”. How does it feel to your teeth?

    Timers are for things that take more than 15 or can’t/shouldn’t be disturbed while cooking.

      I’m glad to see I’m not crazy, this is how I’ve always done it after trial and error of getting the process that works the best for me

      I knew I wasn’t crazy that it stops feeling hard when stirring at a certain point!
