I think the "flat surface" thing might just be one of those chef wisdoms that actually has no effect, just like using oil in your pasta water.

Most chefs will tell you not to oil pasta water, just salt it well.

I didn’t say they all do, I said most chefs, and I didn’t mean celebrity chefs. Just because Ramsay thinks it doesn’t negate what I said.

I’ve worked in kitchens since the 90s, and I have never met a chef that oils the water.

I said most because I know there are at least some that do, like Ramsay.
