Pasta cooking times on an induction hob: how to interpret them correctly

Many people wonder if the pasta cooking times indicated on the packaging are also valid for induction. The answer is: yes , but with an advantage.

Induction maintains heat more steadily and evenly than gas, so you can:

• Reduce the cooking time indicated on the package by 30-40 seconds for perfectly al dente pasta.

• Or follow the exact time if you like a softer consistency

Practical example:

• Packaging: "Cook 10 minutes"

• On induction hob: set constant level 7 and check after 9 minutes

Pro tip: Use the hob's automatic timer to automatically turn off and never make a mistake.
