Pasta Rocks are a staple in my kitchen for correct seasoning of pasta. No more "oops" from pouring in too much salt. Just drop a rock into your boiling water then scoop it out after 2 minutes. Perfect seasoning and you can use the rocks over and over until they are completely dissolved. Pasta rocks are always front and center in my kitchen. They even go with us in our travel trailer! They are a "must have."
