No, it just keeps some things like pasta from sticking together. You really don't need it
if you have enough water in a large pot and stir to separate the pasta when it begins to boil again.

Why add salt in water?
salt helps to bring the water to the boil faster.
How much salt do you put in to make the water boil faster?
Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.
To blanch a vegetable?
pch: Boiling Water wait for the water to boil comletely then add vegtables for 1-3 minutes and immediately take out and immerse in cold water.
Does spaghetti cook faster in salt water or plain water?
yes! it does when you add the salt to the boiling water it goes up by two degrees. and that makes the water boil more and cooks the spaghetti faster.
What is the function of salt when making pasta?
yes the salt raises the temperature to boil faster
When you're making ramen noodle soup should you boil the water first and then add the noodles or boil the water and noodles at the same time?
you need to boil the water first then add the noodles
Does water in a pot boil at a lower temperature if it has a lid on it?
I did a science project on how long it takes to boil water by changing variables. One of them was to add canola oil (the same as vegetable) and it ended up boiling almost a minute faster than just plain water!
Why is it important to add the penne to boiling water?
If you add any type of pasta into a pot of cold water then boil this will cause starches to dissolve the pasta surface, in a result the pasta will stick. When the water is boiled at its highest temperature, the pasta will cook to perfection and faster.
Do you put salt in water when boiling eggs?
Adding salt to water when you boil foods is for the purpose of flavor only. I don't add salt to water when boiling foods. That began because of a low sodium diet but now if salt is added to the water the food tastes too salty to me. If you add salt or how much salt you add is a personal choice for your taste preference.
Why does water with salt boil faster then pure water?
The salt alters the boiling point of the water so that it is lower, hence the faster boiling time. Actually, the addition of salt to water elevates its boiling point. This can be proven by a simple experiment. Boil water in a pot on the stove. Just as the water is starting to boil add copious amounts of salt. You should find that the water ceases to boil. If the water were to commence to boil more vigorously then this would confirm that the boiling point is depressed. The reason for the elevated boiling point is that the addition of salt (a polar compound) creates and additional bond between itself and the (polar) water molecules. This bond represents additional energy that must now be over-come to make the water boil.
When boiling noodles why add salt?
To Flavor The Noodles When salt is dissolved in water, it lowers the boiling point of the water slightly. This means that the water should boil faster as it boils at a lower temperature. The effect is small, however.
Should I boil the water first and then add bleach or add bleach then boil?
If you want the water to be more than hot enough to activate the bleach, then boil the water first. Boiling bleach is not advised, because that would produce deadly chlorine gas.
