I put the pasta in the pot BEFORE I add the boiling water, that I boiled in the electric water heater, and I split the pasta to put them in the pot cause it’s easier.
You boil water in an electric kettle or similar, then break your spaghetti and drop it into an empty pot before pouring the now just-short-of-boiling water on top of it and bringing it back up to a boil?
And you think this is an easier process than just boiling water in the pot then dropping the spaghetti in?
The responses to this comment led me to discover that some people don’t wait for the water to boil before putting the pasta in.

Easier… No. Faster… Also no.
