    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.
