Boji, now that Luigi is no longer with us (sob...) to explain to
you what this is about, I feel obliged to do it myself. Throwing
pasta at a flat vertical and seeing if it sticks or not is
claimed by some to be a measure of a satisfactory level of
cooking. But it is not reliable unless you use the very same
surface and observe finer details like the rate of slippage if
any, also the bit fished out of the pot should truly
representative of the rest and so on. Too many things to go into
at this point. I might have to knock up a page on it for Aunty
Dorayme's kitchen when I have time.
You can conduct a little experiment of your own if you doubt any
of this to confirm at least part of the story. The part easily
confirmed is that uncooked dry pasta will bounce off if thrown
with any force at all.
