When to add salt – before boiling water or after

0

Most housewives don't think twice when they drop a spoonful of white crystals into a pot filled with water. Despite popular belief, there is a difference in when to add salt – before boiling or after.

Details

It is known that salt dissolves much more slowly in cold water. Therefore, adding this spice to cold water causes salt to collect on its surface.

This, in turn, means that the dishes you use for cooking will fail more quickly due to corrosion.

At the same time, knowledgeable housewives emphasize that this fact is hardly noticeable on small-volume pots.

However, in cases where we are talking about large volumes, in which the water heats up much more slowly, and the salt will remain on the surface longer, this matters.

In addition, it has been proven that salt affects the boiling point of water. Yes, unsalted water boils faster.

Therefore, you should take all factors into account and add salt to water that is already boiling.
