What keeps most nutrients in food-microwave or boil?
Microwave. Boiling food enables the nutrients to 'leech out' into the boiling water. Microwaving simply agitates the water molecules within the food.
Why is vitamin C lost when food is placed in boiling water?
b/c it dissolves
What is the effect of dissolving salt in water on boiling point of water?
why do we use pressure cooker at hill stations for cooking food
Why do foods require longer microwave cooking time at higher atitudes?
The boiling point of water goes down at higher altitudes, and so foods take longer to cook (because the temperature of the food doesn't usually exceed the boiling point of water).See the Related Questions about how elevation effects the boiling point of water.
Why is Steam heating better then hot water heating?
The key is that "evaporation is a cooling process". Boiling water molecules use a small amount of energy to make the jump from a boiling pot into the atmosphere. That small amount of energy used reduces the molecule's average kinetic energy (another term for temperature). When you come out of a pool or a shower, you feel so much colder than when you were in the water. That's because air currents are causing the water to jump off your skin. As the water jumps into the atmosphere, you feel the subtle drop in temperature.
Why is food cooked more rapidly by boiling it in a salt water than by boiling it in a pure water?
Food cooks faster in salt water because the salt in the water wraps the food which the chemical reactions from the surface of the food and the salt that contracts and it likes heat the food faster.

Is it the boiling of water or the higher temperature of water that cooks food faster in a pressure cooker?
On the food
How does the boiling water affects the plant's ability to make food?
Boiling water is not one of the survival condition for the plant to photosynthesis
Disadvantages of boiling?
There are several disadvantages to boiling food. For example, boiling vegetables basically drains the nutrients out of the food and into the water, so the nutrients that would normally be consumed are gone.
How does boiling preserve food?
Boiling preserves food by killing harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause spoilage or illness. The high temperature of boiling water destroys these pathogens and enzymes that could cause the food to deteriorate. Additionally, boiling can remove excess moisture from food, preventing the growth of bacteria and the subsequent spoilage.
What is the boiling point of food coloring?
If the food coloring is water-based, it would be slightly above or below the boiling point of water (100 degrees Celsius) depending on the effect of the coloring substance on the water's boiling properties. Some colorings might be oil based, in which case their boiling point would be closer to 150-200 degrees Celsius.
What are strainers?
They are somthing you put a food you were boiling in it (like pasta) and it gets the water out but doesn't harm the food. :)
What is boiling in food tech?
getting a saucepan, putting water in, letting it heat up on a turned on hob, wait for it to bubble and then add what your boiling. that's called boiling,
Which property of an ester can be used to check its purity before use as a food flavoring?
options (A) Boiling point (b) Colour (C) Smell (D) Solubility in water.
What is the working principle of microoven?
Microwaves excite the water molecules in food to the boiling point.
What is used by witches for making brew?
Boiling hot water and green food dye.
