Previously, not all housewives thought about the fact that the bay leaf should be removed from the pan with the finished dish.
If someone came across a spice while serving, it was simply carefully removed.
However, recently chefs have been saying that the leaf should be removed from the container with the dish after a certain period of time.
Why this recommendation appeared
First of all, cooks note that the dish begins to taste noticeably bitter if the bay leaf is left in the pan for a long period of time.
Therefore, it is left for 15-20 minutes and then removed. As a result, the dish is saturated with aroma and flavor, and you can forget about bitterness.
Also, do not forget that the bay leaf is quite hard, so when consumed, it may cause unpleasant sensations.
For this reason, it is better to remove the spice from the pan.
You can also pay attention to the ground version of the spice - in this case, you can make the dish rich without unpleasant consequences.
