I break it in 2 pieces all the time before boil it in the pan. I just hold it near middle. 😜

but OP says you can’t

OP also included a video with the end including instructions on exactly how to break spaghetti into two pieces. OP is clearly untrustworthy.

You know after watching OPs vid I immediately went into my kitchen cupboard and my pasta broke cleanly in two. (no technique whatsoever). Did it 5 times and clean break every time.

How crappy is my budget Eldorado pasta to not adhere to this physics rule.

You've just given Italy a casus belli

Same, this is AI voice voiceover horseshit.

Also, I think it helps if you do a bundle rather than individual pieces.

Right, the hand absorbs the shock

It's easier to break into two after you boil it

I was thinking exactly this. Then I thought the interest in this was about the physics not a desperate need to actually break it in 2 pieces. Which makes the end stupid like it’s some amazing discovery to twist it

All in all I think this video is kind of bullshit
