Funnily enough, this could technically work in a place with unsafe drinking water but with freezers.
So like parts of Michigan?
Depends on the water though since some may have chemical contamination that won’t go away by just boiling (I believe UNICEF has a section on their website about it).
It’s why you are never ever supposed to drink storm water in any form (other than potentially rain collection)
Why would you need to freeze it though?
Just boil and store at room temperature?
Freezing it traps the boil for longer than storing it at room temperature.
But if they’re worried about contamination, they wouldn’t be storing boiling hot water in plastic bags. Microplastics ☠️
Bacterial and viral contamination. They can’t do anything about potential chemical pollutants but they probably still wouldn’t want to potentially shit themselves to death.
I know this is a joke because you just have to boil them again, but I like using this method so I don’t have to look up how much water I’m supposed to add to the pan every time I want to boil some pasta.
Why are you measuring the water? Fill the pot, pour the pasta, cook the pasta, drain the water. Pasta may expand a bit, but otherwise you just need enough water to cover it while it’s cooking.
