Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta

do these playlists factor in considerations like altitude and water mineral content?

So that must be what Spotify's doing with all the data they're collecting.

Well the Spotify ToS says clearly that they need to indefinitely store the photos you send to your lover so they can determine your altitude for when you cook pasta.

Also how much salt you have added, the size of the pot and water volume (maintaining a boil), whether the lid is on/off/partly covering the pot, energy output of the heat source...? And to be perfectly honest i like my pasta slightly past 'al dente', especially when cooking dry pasta.

In the past I really struggled cooking pasta in the times shown on the packets on my home sovetop, but then learned to properly use the lid of my pots. I fully cover the pot with the lid to bring to the boil, add the pasta and leave the lid partially over the pot (~70% covered) to maintain a 'rolling boil', and now it cooks more consistently and quicker.
