Should you add soda to syrniki: a question that all housewives argue about

11.07.2023 22:00

Surely any housewife has heard that the question of soda when preparing cheesecakes is one of the most "hot".

Some people believe that it is not possible to add powder to the composition of the workpiece.

According to the supporters of this theory, soda will be useless at best. It is also believed that it can ruin the taste of an excellent dish made from cottage cheese.

But there is also an opposite opinion. Supporters of another theory believe that without soda, the syrniki simply will not rise. But this is necessary for the dish to be fluffy.

Who is right in this situation?

It is impossible to say that only one opinion is correct: each theory has its own strengths. If, for example, you do not use any acidic product in the cooking process, then the powder will have nothing to react with. Of course, adding soda in this case will be meaningless.

However, the powder does affect the volume of curd products. In this case, the dough should contain at least one sour product.

If they are missing, you can start the chemical reaction yourself using vinegar.

However, it is worth understanding that a large amount of soda can actually ruin a delicious dish, so don’t get carried away.
