Life Tips Related To Temperature

Every food tastes best when it is at a specific temperature. In fact, the temperature of many foods is not only related to safety. Eating unheated leftovers is not just a problem of poor taste, but too hot soup is not only Need to wait or it may be hot to the mouth-the temperature of food is closely related to its taste and nutrition. So you need a suitable kitchen thermometer.

1. Boil the milk

  Milk should not be boiled at high temperature for a long time. Generally, it can achieve the purpose of sterilization at 60～70℃, and the taste is delicious. This is because the protein rich in milk will change greatly when heated: at 60～62℃, the protein particles in the colloidal state will be dehydrated, and the solution will become gelatinous, followed by precipitation. ; When the temperature rises to 100°C, the lactose in the milk begins to caramelize, making the milk brown, and gradually decomposes to form lactic acid, producing a small amount of acid, which has a sour taste, reduces the nutritional value, and is not easy to digest and absorb.

2. Make honey

  The best temperature for the honey water is 50～60℃. If you use boiling water to make honey, it will not only change the sweetness of the honey and make it sour, but also denature the enzymes in the honey, produce excess hydroxymethyl aldehyde, and destroy the nutrients.

3. Drink coffee 　　

  The hot coffee is sweet and delicious when the temperature is around 70℃, and the taste is best. Cold coffee is best at 6°C.

4. Fried seafood

  The temperature of fried seafood should be around 90℃, and the temperature should be 70℃, so that it is not too hot and tastes the most delicious. When the oil temperature of frying seafood is too low, the undercooked seafood is unhygienic and can easily cause diarrhea. However, when the temperature is too high, the protein contained in the seafood will be solidified, making it difficult to digest, and it will also damage the deliciousness of the seafood.

5. Drinking water

  The best temperature for drinking, eating, and mouthwashing water is 35～38℃. At this time, the water has the least irritation to the mouth and teeth. When boiled water is cooled to 12～17℃, it tastes the most refreshing.

6. Put MSG

  It is not advisable to put MSG too early when cooking. Generally, it should be added when the dishes are about to be cooked or when they are just out of the pan, because the temperature of the dish is around 70-90℃, which is the best temperature for MSG to dissolve, and the umami taste is the strongest. On the contrary, when the temperature exceeds 120°C, the sodium glutamate in monosodium glutamate will be coked, and the coked sodium glutamate has neither umami taste, but also has certain toxicity.

7, boiled vegetables

  Generally, vegetables are prone to damage part of vitamins at 60～80℃, and the soup keeps the food temperature at 85～100℃ for a long time. Therefore, adding vegetables to the soup should not be blanched for too long to reduce the damage of vitamin C.

8. Tasting

  The most suitable drinking temperature for red wine is around 18°C. Of course, depending on the season, the suitable drinking temperature will also change. But the difference should be around 2°C. In general, red wine is best at room temperature, that is, there will be no temperature difference between the wine and the mouth when it is contained in the mouth.

  The suitable temperature for unsweetened white wine is 7～10℃, the suitable temperature for sweet white wine is about 4℃, the suitable temperature for rose wine is the same as white wine, and the best drinking temperature for sparkling wine is about 6～7℃. If you want to cool down in the refrigerator, the unsweetened white wine will take about an hour, and the sparkling wine will take about two hours to get just right.

  Beer is the most refreshing and pleasant to drink at 6～8℃ in summer, and the most mellow at 10～12℃ in winter.

9. Drink soup

  The soup tastes best at 60-65°C. At this time, the "material" and water in the soup can blend together, and the seasoning can also give full play to the flavor and taste better. If it is leftovers with soup or cold dishes, heat it to at least 74°C and wait for the soup to boil.

10. Eat watermelon

  Watermelon should be about 8～10℃, below this temperature, it will not taste sweet and refreshing; above this temperature, it is not only easy to break, but also can not achieve the purpose of quenching thirst.

11. Boiled meat

  Meat food is most delicious and tender at 70～75℃. When cooking pork ribs, add cold water if you want fresh soup, and heat water if you want fresh meat. Chicken breasts need to be roasted to 77°C to be the safest and most delicious, while the whole poultry needs to reach 82°C for the thickest meat to be fully cooked. Bacteria is most likely to spread during the processing of minced meat, so it is safe to at least reach 71°C.

12. Eat ice cream

  Ice cream is most enjoyable and tastes best when eaten at -4～-6℃. If the temperature is too high, it will easily melt and become watery and tasteless; if it is too low, it will strongly irritate your stomach and cause discomfort.

13, drink juice

  All kinds of juice are best to drink at 8～10℃. Although the juice and ice are fashionable, it is easy to irritate the intestines and stomach; heating will not only destroy the original taste, but also easily decompose the vitamin components in the juice and reduce the nutrition.

14, porridge

  The best water temperature for the rice in the porridge is 50-60℃, so that the porridge cooked in this way is sticky but not greasy, and has the best taste.

TIPS:

Salty, bitter food, the higher the temperature, the weaker the taste.

The taste of sour food is basically unchanged when the temperature is between 10 and 14°C.

The sweetest temperature for desserts is 37°C. If it is higher or lower than this temperature, the sweetness will become weaker. Normal healthy people have the highest taste sensitivity to food with a temperature of about 30°C.
