Why do potatoes boil into water was told boiling to long or fast reduced both and still happening mushy on outside and hard in middle Why?
Start with potatoes - cut into even size pieces - covered with cold salted water. The water should only be on high heat until it starts to boil. Once it boils, reduce heat slightly so potatoes boil gently. Check for "doneness" with a fork.
Boiling potatoes on high may cause the results mentioned - mushy outsides with still firm insides or by the time the insides are cooked correctly, the outsides are overcooked and falling apart.
What else can I help you with?
When you boil potatoes is your cooking time reduced if the water is vigorisly boiling instead of gently boiling?
No, because the temperature does not change until a phase change is complete so it will not make a difference.
When you boil potatoes will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water?
Yes, but not dramatically so. The movement of the water is convection, which improves cooking efficiency. The size of the tater is the biggest factor, so cutting them into smaller pieces can cut the boiling time in half using full boiling water versus whole potatoes in a gently boil. Tip- Use a larger pot and cover it. The extra water makes for better potatoes, and the lid makes up for the reduced efficiency due to larger volume. Also a bit of oil or butter will help reduce foaming.
Can you use green potatoes for jacket potatoes?
No, green potatoes contain a carcinogenic toxin and though cooking can reduced the danger it is better to be safe than sorry.
What is a vacuum distillation?
When pressure is reduced the boiling point will also reduce
What happens to the boiling point of a liquid if the pressure exerted on a surface is reduced?
The boiling point of a liquid decreases when the pressure is reduced. This is because lower pressure results in less resistance for the liquid molecules to escape into the gas phase, causing them to boil at a lower temperature.
What would happen to the amount of photosynthesis if the number of chloroplast s was reduced by half?
Photosynthesis happening because of chloroplasts. it will reduce if chloroplasts are reduced.
What is fish glaze?
Fish glaze - fish stock reduced by boiling until it becomes a sticky consistency.
What has rapidly risen in the US after tariffs were reduced for outside nations?
imports
Why Glycerin is distilled at reduced pressure?
glycerin is distilled at reduced pressure because it has boiling point of 290 degree celsius under atmospheric pressure it slightly decomposes but under reduced pressure it distills unchanged
How does boiling water stop the spread of typhoid?
Typhoid bacteria is often spread through water and cannot survive high temperatures like the 100oC of boiling water so by boiling the water the typhoid bacteria is killed and the chance of transmission is reduced.
If the pressure in a sealed container is reduced can boiling point of a fluid be also reduced?
Yes. You can, for example, boil water at room temperature if you apply a vacuum pump to the container. However, if it was ONLY a sealed container (reduce the pressure and then take the vacuum pump away), the vapor increases the pressure and the whole thing comes to equilibrium and stops boiling.
How can enegery loss be reduced?
energy is never lost or reduced. energy can only be transferred. this can be possible by fiction or an outside force acting upon it.
