What is baking soda used for in the kitchen: not just for baking
Many housewives use soda not to make fluffy pies and pancakes, but also, for example, to make meat more tender.
All you need to do is sprinkle a piece of pork or beef with soda, then put the meat in the refrigerator, where it should stay for several hours.
Be sure to rinse your tenderloin thoroughly before you begin preparing your dinner.
By the way, some particularly advanced housewives suggest adding soda directly to minced meat.
According to them, the prepared cutlets turn out delicious and can also boast juiciness and softness.
In addition, soda will also help when you are going to make jam, and the berries selected for it have an overly sour taste.
In this case, for 1 kg of “raw material”, that is, berries, you will need only a quarter teaspoon of soda.
Finally, you can use baking powder to protect milk from going sour: adding a teaspoon per liter of boiling milk extends the shelf life of the product.
