Notes
Caution needs to used here as you will be fetching hot water from the pot then draining the hot water.
Here you are learning that what seems waste are actually useful parts to make great dishes. Pasta water is commonly used to make silky sauces and the bean juice, usually tossed down the sink, has many uses. Here it is used to give body to your dish making it hardy.
