But the title says "Pasta water purist" and the prank was to put Ketchup in the water... and now I'm wondering if non-purists put Ketchup in pasta water? There are people who do this?
I sometimes add stuff to pasta water, though not ketchup... Salt is normal, but sometimes I'll throw in some dried onion and garlic powder. Mostly a way to use up spices that are getting old, but it also flavors the water you add to the sauce.
Pretty sure if you added ketchup to the water for regular spaghetti that you're draining, nobody would even notice. The onion, garlic, tomato flavors are gonna be in the dish already.
I wouldn't really be upset if someone did, I'd just think it's weird. People have all different kinds of ways of cooling the same things when it comes to cooking, so it would surprise me if someone puts ketchup in their pasta water for some kind of flavor lmfao.
Fun fact: assuming you were to use an average sized oven from 2011, and assuming the babies are cube-shaped and also average sized, you can fit 14.69387755 babies in an oven!

It's nice to see an actual prank instead of the dudes committing crimes under the guise of "it's just a prank bro." Harmless and everyone involved, including the person pranked, has a laugh.
I mean there's not a whole lot to understand. They probably know what they are doing isn't nice so it's not like telling them "hey that's not nice" will make them stop doing them. What you'd actually need to do is make sure they wont get money by doing the pranks which is a lot harder.
One of those 2010s youtube pranksters nearly blinded a child a couple of months ago by shooting fireworks at them. Again a few months ago one of the modern streamers hit a random passerby with a paintball, intentionally.
People who say it's not a thing anymore are older and don't go to that part of social media or news.
Restaurant cooks prize thick pasta water. In “Heat,” his best-selling account of working in Mario Batali’s restaurant Babbo, Bill Buford describes how in the course of an evening, water in the pasta cooker goes from clear to cloudy to muddy, a stage that is “yucky-sounding but wonderful,” because the water “behaves like a sauce thickener, binding the elements and flavoring the pasta with the flavor of itself.”
For anyone who doesn't want to cook an entire restruant's worth of pasta to get the same effect, you can just add wheat starch to water to make a basic slurry and cook it down a little. That's all it is.
Haha!! This video brings back fun memories… I used to work at a 50s retro-diner, on roller skates, where we were encouraged to mess with the guests. Pranks, roast humor, occasional choreographed dancing… that sorta place. I had a ketchup and a mustard bottle rigged like this, and it worked every single time!
If that's a commercial kitchen (and this isn't a stunt for show), he's going to have to throw out the contents of that pot after a dirty string touched the inside of it.

Almost gave the chef a heart attack
Dude had patience. Italian gran gran would've taken out the wooden spoon by now.
Almost dropped dead right there😭✌️
Yeah, he’d be taking at least one with him first.
His heart almost had an artichoke
I mean, sure. I get it.

While I agree in concept, but in my mind, the ketchup would taint the pasta. I know you’re right, but I hate it.

It has nothing to do with pasta water apart from teh chef talking about it - he's (faking) putting it on the spaghetti.
Has anyone checked on the Italians?
Almost gave the Chiefs a heart attack. Ftfy.
His eyes almost popped out into the pot
Lol

His eyes almost popped out into the pot
His eyes almost popped out into the pot
The chef was about to start crying
About to start crying? That poor guy, he almost fainted!
Everytime I eat a meal with the in laws I want to cry. They put ketchup on everything .
And they love mint jelly on ham. They think that is all mint jelly is designed for....
What food is mint jelly usually for? I’ve only ever had it on lamb
His kitchen is sooo nice!
Dude's got like 3 or 4 ovens back there.
1 for use, 3 for storage
I AM A MAN WHO OWNS 5 OVENS!!!

I didn’t even see the kid in the original
That "kid" looks 32 1/2...
That man exclaimed as if OOP was throwing his first born in the pot
“Throw the baby in the oven.”
Happy to say I understood this reference!

Somebody convey this to Cerys!
Lol, first born are a washable and reusable resource, pasta water is special.

Exactly. What pranks should be!
Confuse, don’t abuse!
Do we have to read this comment every time tho?
Yes until asshole ‘prankers’ understand

Seeing their actions have negative repercussions on the friends and family they prank doesn't deter them but reading some guys comment on reddit will?
Considering they value feedback from social media over their loved ones..maybe my dude.
Now how fucked up is that 🙃
Good point
Ah, but the fact you'd be commenting is just feeding the algorithm
Better than saying nothing tho because then it becomes the norm and those assholes think it's good.
Fair point. Sometimes I think the same when I see repeated comments
So with you. Every single time something is funny this comment is there
This comment is on every goddamn prank video.

Wasnt quite a big "prankster" literally arrested for it just a few weeks ago? There's absolutely still assholes prank channels.

"older" that hurt me 😭
That's because you don't frequent those parts of the internet anymore.
"I haven't seen it so it doesn't exist". classic.
How am I supposed to laugh at this? They should’ve thrown the pasta water in his face. Now that would’ve been funny
It's not fun and games until someone gets 3rd degree burns
Haha your skin is peeling off lol! Gottem!
Easy there Winston
Say the line, Bart!
Also looks genuine, not like 98% scripted bs.
Absolutely. If the prank victim isn't laughing with you by the end of the prank, it's not a prank. At best, it's harassment, at worst, it's a crime.
Came here to say this. A prank should be looked back at fondly by all parties involved. It’s only a prank of the person being pranked can laugh at it.
I never see those pranks that are crimes, where do you guys watch them all?
What do you mean, I thought it was funny when my 3 y/o believed he chopped off my hand with his toy saw??
I know that meal was 🔥
Chef was dialed in.
/r/innocentpranks
Thank you for making me aware of this.
I haven't seen one of those in maybe 30 years.
I love that chef so much.

His pasta life flashed before his eyes 😂
His life was in jeopardy for 11 seconds
Still he should sleep with one eye open after that
You know he loves cooking if his reaction was like that lmao. Poor guy lol
I used to have one of those haha
That is a nice ass kitchen.
My favorite place to eat, the ass kitchen
TIL about pasta water.
Playing with fire.
Or more accurately, playing with a chef in a kitchen. With knives.
There was a non-zero chance that the chef would've stabbed him as his last act before succumbing to a heart attack if that wasn't a prank.
I would like to have a kitchen like this one

/r/ketchuphate
Drake be the type of reaction
Do that in Chicago!
Man was seconds from death.
That 'No!!' resonated deeply with me.
Nah mate...friendship is over, never play with food like that...chef almost died
She is lucky he isn’t Italian. She would get slapped before the fake ketchup left the bottle.
If that's a commercial kitchen (and this isn't a stunt for show), he's going to have to throw out the contents of that pot after a dirty string touched the inside of it.
Catsup in water = Maga tomato soup
STOP INSULTING…
On second thought continue this culinary TedTalk someone needs to learn these tips
Hahahaha 😂
r/watchpeopledieinside
First degree cases have been filed for less!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those things are my favorite old school prank.
I definitely only season my meat
Cavenders spotted
Was about to end his whole bloodline. Understandable
Honestly a little spray of ketchup in such a big pot probably wouldn't have impacted the taste at all.
The string still touched the food...
If only there was some sort of heating apparatus that could sterilize the food…..
What kind of sorcery is this?
That means it all needs to get thrown away now
Cool acting.
Hello, seasoned internet user. Anytime a video starts with a "so, yeah, this is what..." it's staged AF
Friend also could’ve cued the video for his “story” or whatever and still pranked him
While holding a ketchup bottle? Nah
what is this industrial ass kitchen?
fake and staged
