Picture based reference guides for anything and everything. If it seems like something someone might print, physically post, and reference then it is a good link for this sub. Remember: Infographics are learning tools, guides are reference tools. Sometimes it's grey.

Oil does help pasta not stick together. Ya just gotta ice shock the pasta THEN add a bit of olive oil and give it a toss. I think the misconception comes from adding oil to the water.

Source: 20 years in service industry. I wouldn't even want to know the tonnage of pasta I have served through the years....

E: the oil thing is for bulk pasta. I'm gonna cook off a couple pounds and portion them out for when I need exactly 6 or 10 ounces of pasta for a dish. Throw the portion in a pasta caulinder to quick heat it up and toss in whichever sauce/dish I have prepared.
