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.

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.

...just to make sure I understand...

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?

Easier... No. Faster... Also no.
