About this pasta timer
This tool helps you cook pasta consistently with a big countdown and an alarm you can’t miss. Use the presets for common pasta shapes, or set any minutes you like. For best results: use plenty of water, salt it well, and taste 1 minute before the end if you want al dente.
Quick tips
- Bring water to a rolling boil first, then add pasta and stir right away.
- Start timing when the water returns to a rolling boil after adding pasta.
- For al dente, taste 1 minute early. For softer pasta, cook 1 minute longer.
