This is how much salt you should add to a pot of boiling water

Recipes often say ‘add some salt to the boiling water’, but how much salt should you actually add?

One of the first things you learn at culinary school? How much salt to add to boiling water. First, bring the water to a boil with the lid on the pot. Don’t add salt to cold water, because doing so will increase the cooking time. Only add the salt once the water is boiling. Not so much that it tastes like the sea, but use one level tablespoon of salt per liter of water.
