5 / 10. I don’t agree with some of your answers are correct! Unopened cooked mussels should be discarded and lettuce should be ripped rather than cutting with a metal blade.

10/10 I had seen the thing about olive oil keeping pasta from sticking, so I knew what I was supposed to say, but I am not sure I agree with it.

9 / 10. I still don’t agree with some of your answers! Unopened cooked mussels should be discarded and lettuce should be ripped rather than cutting with a metal blade.

Adding salt to boiling water will increase the temperature. However, the amount of salt you would reasonably add to cooking water will barely make any difference. In order to make a noticeable difference you would have to add way too much salt. And I’m still throwing out the closed mussels.

Barbara Gilberts, Sorry, but you are mistaken about the oil. All oil will do is float on the top. It has no effect on the pasta.

barrattjohn, If you add oil to pasta water, the sauce won't stick to it. The pasta should be drained and immediately added to the sauce.

moredearer, The banana answer is true. I have used it to ripen avocadoes.

Lynne Christine King, It also should not be put in pasta water because it allows the sauce to not stick to the pasta.

Donna Curry, salt increases the boiling point of the water which in turns lessens the cooking time.
