Experienced cooks choose between making a beautiful soup with a clear broth or a healthy and tasty soup.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-category baker told whether it is necessary to drain the "first water" when cooking broth.
Popular Mistake
It is believed that this trick allows you to cook a beautiful and clear broth.
And with the first water, after boiling, you can supposedly get rid of all the harmful substances that meat contains.
Most often, the remains of antibiotics and other veterinary drugs are mentioned.
The presence of harmful substances in cooked meat can only be confirmed or denied by conducting laboratory tests.
How it really is
Housewives are told that along with the grey foam, dirt and harmful substances allegedly float to the surface.
In fact, it is a protein that has curdled during cooking and does not pose any threat to human health.
Along with the first water, the housewife pours into the sewer all the useful substances that get into the water after boiling.
Because of this mistake, the broth becomes less rich, nutritious and healthy.
The only case when you can drain the “first water” after cooking meat is the presence of chronic diseases of the digestive system, gall bladder and pancreas.
