[quote=Anonymous]In my mil's defense, I was helping her with the pasta at her house for a formal dinner, so I get that she wanted things done a certain way. She's old school and she likes to prepare things the "proper" way. I'm a shortcut kind of person and I love making one pot meals and I clean as I go. After my mil makes a meal, the kitchen looks like it exploded and it takes a major clean up afterwards. Just different styles of cooking.

I'm all for learning from her, but the pasta thing just boggled my mind and I wondered if there was reasoning to why she wanted it done that way. And I wondered if someone could simply explain to me the proper way I'm supposed to use a pasta pot. I can't ask her these things. She's horrible at explaining things - she's either secretive or acts like "how come you don't already know this, are you a comple idiot?" She doesn't say that but that's her tone.

And you guys did explain how to use the pasta pot so thank you. So you dump right into the serving bowl from the colander insert- that makes sense. And for some reason it never occurred to me to bring BOTH pots to the sink. And pior to this, I never knew you could rinse pasta.  I always just did a quick drain in the sink and threw it back in the pot with a little leftover pasta water to keep it from sticking until I was ready to combine with the sauce.
