“Sciapo” means “unsalted” in Italian — and might be the most typical criticism I obtain from my sous chef/mom anytime she’s over for dinner, inevitably babysitting my pasta whereas I prep the remainder of our meal. I’ve cooked and eaten a ton of pasta on this life, and my largest and most embarrassing cooking flub stays under-salting the water, usually out of worry of oversalting it to the purpose of no return. (You may all the time add, however you may’t subtract, and many others.) In spite of everything, one individual’s appropriately salted water is one other individual’s too-much or not-enough. Enter Jacobsen Salt Co.’s Disco Di Sale: pre-measured 10-gram salt discs prepared for tossing straight into your pasta water, taking the guesswork out of what “a beneficiant handful” of salt means from individual to individual. Not all handfuls are created equal! Snag these cute and helpful salt bombs for a buddy who’s acquired my identical culinary Achilles’ heel — you’ll thank your self for it at their subsequent banquet.
