You can often hear that experienced housewives quite often use soda when preparing food.

It is used not only when working with dough and various types of baked goods, but also when working with main dishes.

For example, you can hear that the powder is used in the preparation of minced meat for cutlets.

Why use baking soda in this case?

It is worth noting right away that you should only use soda if you decide to make minced meat based on red meat. When preparing a dish from turkey or chicken, you should not use culinary powder.

Soda helps any meat become softer. It is known that for making cutlets, people often buy budget varieties of meat, and they can be quite tough.

Soda also helps the minced meat become more tasty and balanced.

It is important to remember that soda should be added as carefully as possible. No more than one small spoon of the product is taken per kilogram of meat.

After this, the minced meat is mixed as thoroughly as possible.

If the minced meat contains soda, then you should forget about milk, bread and eggs.
