What color are beets after boiling?

Boiling tends to remove some of the blueish-red coloring so that boiled beets appear pale compared to raw beets. However, the color (betanin, not anthocyanin as once thought) is sensitive to pH and can go a yellow-brownish color in alakaline water, or more reddish in acidic water. Adding a little vinegar to the water will maintain the red color. Boiling for an extended time will turn the beets brown.

How does the water cooler heat up water?

The cooler will warm up the water in the reservoir until it is boiling, then it will turn off. After a couple of minutes, it will turn back on again and heat the water till its boiling again. That's why the water is always hot because the cooler is constantly heating it up like if you kept turning a kettle on.

Why does spaghetti take 9 minutes to cook at sea level but 14 minutes to cook in the mountains?

At high altitudes, air pressure is lower. That means that the boiling point of water is lower as well (lower air pressure means that water molecules need less energy to turn into gas), and because the water is boiling at a lower temperature it takes longer for it to cook the pasta.


Can you reverse water boiling on the stove?

Yes, turn the heat off. Boiling water does not change its molecular structure, so, yes, it can be "unboiled."
