    Okay but water and oil don’t mix, none of the oil ever makes it to the bottom where the pasta would be sticking. Even if you push it down with a spoon it will immediately rise to the surface. The way you prevent sticking is be stirring, you need to disrupt it during the boiling process so the starches don’t form a bond with the metal.

    I promise you, olive oil in in water doesn’t help.

      Are we talking about boiling pasta? I wonder how one can have a problem with pasta sticking to the pot while boiling. Is that user frying their spaghetti?. As you say you can add oil after it’s drained to add fat or to it sticking to itself
