Adding salt to water when you boil foods is for the purpose of flavor only. I don't add salt to water when boiling foods. That began because of a low sodium diet but now if salt is added to the water the food tastes too salty to me. If you add salt or how much salt you add is a personal choice for your taste preference.
Adding salt creates a solution that has a higher boiling point, - the boiling solution temperature would be higher then just one of boiling water.
when you put pasta in it, the pasta gets cooked faster and doesnt come out too soft and mushy.
It is an old wive's tale that water boils faster when you add salt. Adding salt to water will actually make it take longer to boil because the salted water has to be heated to higher than the boiling point of water in order to boil.
The salt in the water contains more heat than regular water, which helps the egg boil faster.
Salt will raise the boiling point of water.
for pasta it makes the pieces NOT stick together
for everything else it makes the boiling point of water higher than without it.
makes it boil faster
You don't have to.
Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.
Fist filter off or sink off the sand from water with dissolved salt. Then evaporate the water (by boiling off) from the solution, leavinfg the dry solid salt crystals.
I did this experiment for school and sugar is the most soluble in boiling hot water. this was my experiment: Sugar: - I had to stir each tea spoon of sugar for quite a while but amazingly it was the most soluble out of all the substances I put in the boiling hot water. I put 7 teaspoons of sugar into half a glass of boiling hot water. Salt: - on the 1st tea spoon the salt dissolved really quickly so I thought that it would be the most soluble but at the 3rd tea spoon it wouldn't dissolve anymore. hope this helps...
Salt wouldn't evaporate, even if you put it in water. If you put salt in water, you could get it out by setting the cup of salt water and waiting until it evaporated. The salt would still be there.
Yes, actually the salt makes your water boil at a higher temperature. So instead of your water boiling at 100 degrees Celsius it boils at 110 degrees Celsius. So when you put your noodles in they cook faster. :)
It is commonplace to put salt in water when boiling most foods. The reason why you put salt in with boiling water and vegetables is to help them retain moisture.
put eggs in boiling water with a little salt and cook for 10 minutes, run under cold water for a minute that will make it easier to peel them.
adding salt raises the boiling point of water which can help speed cooking time.
It lowers the boiling point, and makes it "salt water".
You put them in the water after the it is boiling not before
It was commonly believed that adding salt to water lowers the boiling temperature of water and causes it to boil faster, however this was shown to cause such a small change that it was rendered insignificant (however covering the pot will decrease loss of heat and will cause the water to boil faster than an uncovered pot). Adding salt to water essentially only adds flavor to the pasta that you are cooking, so adding salt before or after the water is boiling really doesn't matter. What does matter is that you add the salt before you add the pasta.
It is supposed to stop the shell from cracking...it sometimes works sometimes it doesn't,depends how hard you drop your eggs in the pan.
u put it in boiling water u IDIOT
It's best to put it in RIGHT BEFORE it's boiling. Time it out right so that when the water is just beginning to bubble, drop it in.
Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.
an egg can work move or grow because it can go in salt water and when you put salt water it will go higher
It's good to add a pinch of salt and a few drops of olive oil into the water when cooking pasta. The olive oil is especially useful, because it makes sure that the pasta doesn't stick together when boiling it, so you don't ruin it when you take it out.
