How to quickly boil potatoes: add a few drops of this product to the water - this will create a pressure cooker effect
Cooking boiled potatoes is not the most difficult culinary task.
But there is a problem, which is that the process takes a long time.
You have to wait about half an hour: this is how long the tubers must be in boiling water to reach readiness.
But you can cheat and significantly speed up the thermal processing of vegetables.
To do this, you need to use one simple additive, which was described by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .
