Appliance tips: different dishes need different washing

When the dishes are bought for home, everyone wants to clean them as much as possible. What kind of water wash plays a decisive role. Experts told reporters that the cleaning methods for meat and fruits and vegetables should be separated.

"Cleaning meat is of course using cold water," said Zhang Liang, a senior national cookery chef with many years of cooking experience and chief technician of Shandong Province. Especially now, the weather is getting colder and colder, and cold people like to wash meat with warm water. Some people think that meat is easily stained with dirt. In order to enhance decontamination, it also takes hot water for a while and then wash it. In fact, whether it is thawed frozen meat or fresh meat that has just been bought back, no warm water, especially hot water, can be used. Because washing meat with warm water or even hot water will accelerate the loss of protein and B vitamins in the meat, some amino acids will also be lost. "On the one hand, meat that has been treated with hot water can easily be spoiled and corrupted. On the other hand, the meat's taste can be affected and it will not be meaty."

It is particularly worth reminding that some people like to buy ready-made meat. Do you want to wash this kind of meat? better not. Meat is generally used to stir-fried meat or knead balls. After washing, it is not only fragrant, nutrient loss, but also become loose and do not become meatballs. If you want to eat meat, it's best to buy it yourself and wash it first. Or supervise the merchant to wash it later.

It is better to use warm water when washing all kinds of fruits and vegetables. He Hongju, a researcher at the National Vegetable Engineering Technology Research Center, points out that warm water can remove pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables more easily than cool water. Because organic phosphorus in pesticide residues is easily soluble in water, it will accelerate dissolution when the water temperature increases. At the same time, carbamate insecticides in pesticides also accelerate decomposition as the temperature increases.

Some people may worry that the nutrients in fruits and vegetables are very delicate. Will using hot water destroy the nutrition? In fact, the key is to control the water temperature to 40 degrees Celsius or so is appropriate. Otherwise, B vitamins, vitamin C, and some niacin and minerals in fruits and vegetables will be lost when the vegetables are washed. The method of controlling the water temperature is also very simple: 40 degrees Celsius water, try by hand should be warm and not hot.
