It actually works! The wider surface area of the frying pan means the water gets hotter and the pasta cooks faster.
This works best when you’re just making pasta for one. It’s as easy as putting pasta in a bowl/mug with enough water to cover it, then microwaving for a few minutes (it’s trial and error, not gonna lie), stirring every minute or so.
I cut up a bunch of onions and freeze them in sandwich bags. The next time I’m making a dish, I can just take one out and throw the onions in the pan. That way, I don’t have to deal with tears every time I cook.
