C-zom 04/03/24 10:42:49 PM #21:	Bigger pot. You need a bigger pot than you think for spaghetti. If you're breaking it, you're using a saucepan, which is nah. If you have something inbetween where only an inch or two sticks out just submerge them and swirl-bend them in slowly over the course of a minute. While the noodle inside the water softens, you can spin the whole thing in via coaxing. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:979720103] in how do you...
