- take out the double cooker pot, fill to the bottom of the top rivet with HOT water - place on stove at HI heat - add 1/4tsp of salt to the water - take out spaghetti, enough to fill a finger-thumb hold to capacity - break that spaghetti in half, by taking finger-size bundles and pressing them on the edge of a pan - wait for water to boil - turn temp down to 5 - get out the spaghetti spoon - dump in all spaghetti at once - start a 9 minute timer - stir the spaghetti at least once a minute to prevent burning to the bottom of the pan. the first stir is very important - at 9 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove. DO NOT rinse - wash the siev pan briefly with water to wet it - dump the pot into the siev pan to drain - get the stragglers out of the pot and leave it cooling with water in it to prevent spaghetti from burning onto the bottom - get out four cerearl bowls and fill evenly with the hot spaghetti - add four 1/4 pads of butter to each bowl - using a fork and spoon, cut and mix in the butter in each bowl - cover three bowls in celophane and place in fridge for later add parmesan cheese to reheat, just microwave for 60 seconds
