Culinary myths

1. Soda in the refrigerator absorbs an unpleasant smell.
   Good marketing move, but soda, alas, can not cope with this task. It is better to use activated charcoal, but it is more expensive. To get rid of the unpleasant smell, you need to thoroughly wash the refrigerator with detergent and store food in an airtight package.
2. Roasting meat in your own juice.
   It is believed that meat fried in its own juice tastes better and loses less weight when frying. But if you roast two identical pieces of meat in your own juice and without it, the meat loses the same volume.
   
   
   
   
3. An omelet can be cooked with water instead of milk..
   Some believe that milk makes the omelet harder and it is better to add water to it. But the omelet with water does not rise during cooking and has a fresh taste. On milk, the omelet is twice as thick and soft.
4. Soda should be extinguished with vinegar to make the dough better rise..
   It does release carbon dioxide, which helps the dough to rise, but it has time to weather before you have time to put the batter with buns in the oven. To dough was lush, mix first the dry ingredients, and then add to the liquid. And yet, instead of vinegar, it is better to use kefir or lemon juice.
   
   
   
   
5. Salt solution helps to clean the burnt pan.
   The old council doesn't work. It is better to boil water with citric acid or soda in a burnt pan and leave for 20 minutes, then wash the remains of the burn. Enameled pans are better just soaked in warm water.
6. If you lower the eggs in cold water after cooking, they will be easier to clean..
   It's not that simple. If you boil water first, and then put eggs there, then they will be cleaned much easier than if you initially put them in cold water. By the way, the harder it is to clean an egg, the fresher it is. To make the eggs easier to clean, dip them after boiling in ice water for 15 minutes.
   
   
   
   
7. Moldy foods should be thrown away immediately..
   This is true, but some products can still be eaten, cutting off the spoiled place from them: hard cheese, sweet peppers and carrots.
8. Lemon and vinegar help get rid of the smell of raw fish.
   Nothing brings out the smell better than a weak solution of vinegar or lemon juice: rinse under the running water of the hand and rub it with one thing, both vinegar and lemon work well.
   
   
   
   
9. Wash pasta with water after cooking.
   Watch at least one cooking show with foreign chefs who cook pasta. Have you ever seen them wash pasta? Starch and even some water are needed to mix the contents of the pan with the sauce.
10. Before serving steak, you need to hold a couple of minutes on the cutting board..
    The process of preparing juicy steak is fascinating, and it is very easy to spoil it. Only true chefs know that muscle fibers and juice are distributed evenly over a piece of meat.
    
    
    
    
11. Wooden boards are worse than plastic.
    In fact, the top layer of wood has antiseptic properties, and wood is an unfavorable environment for the development of bacteria, it is scientifically proven.
12. Cheese is better stored in paper packaging, not in food film.
    Foods that are stored in polyethylene spoil faster, it is true, but paper wrapping does not save the cheese from being weathered, so it is better to buy a fresh small piece of cheese than eat winded or throw out moldy cheese in the film.
