Pasta doneness

Caption

Pasta noodles are fixed on the top and hanging vertically down after cooling. They stick near the bottom. The stick length, which can be measured by a ruler, is directly correlated to the pasta doneness. You can get al dente every time by measuring this distance with a ruler.
