Boiled meat is a familiar dish in Vietnamese family meals. Boiled meat is nutritious and easy to eat, making it an ideal choice for warm and cozy family meals. However, many housewives still wonder whether to boil the meat in boiling water or cold water to make it taste the best.

Pros and cons of boiling meat in boiling water

According to nutrition experts, if housewives boil the meat in boiling water, they will notice that there is less foam floating on the surface compared to boiling in cold water. This is because when we put the raw meat into boiling water, the meat fibers and protein compounds will become firm and compact, and these substances, along with the toxic substances, cannot escape, resulting in the absence of foam.

However, if you boil the meat this way, it will absorb more chemicals and impurities when the meat shrinks. Because if the meat is already dirty and contains a lot of toxins, boiling it this way will make it dirtier and more toxic.

Boiling meat: boiling water or cold water

The advantage of boiling meat in boiling water is that when we eat the meat boiled in boiling water, we will feel that the meat is sweeter and retains more nutrients in the meat because they are not destroyed during the boiling process. Therefore, many people prefer to boil meat in boiling water.

Pros and cons of boiling meat in cold water

Boiling meat in cold water is a popular method chosen by many people. But when putting the meat in cold water from the beginning, during the boiling process, nutrients and impurities will float away. Therefore, you need to skim off the foam and sediment. If you boil the meat this way, you will see the foam floating on top and need to skim it off.

However, when you boil the meat this way, the meat will not taste as good and sweet because it is soaked in water for too long. However, the broth from boiling the meat is sweeter than boiling in boiling water. Therefore, to compare between the two methods of boiling meat, boiling in boiling water has more advantages. However, the choice of method depends on each family’s preference.

Absolute mistakes to avoid when boiling meat

Do not add cold water when the boiling water has boiled: Whether you boil the meat in boiling water or cold water, you should never make this mistake of adding cold water when the boiling water has boiled. Many people, when boiling meat, put a small amount of water, then the water boils and dries out, and they add cold water to continue cooking, making the boiled meat dry and tough, losing the fatty and nutritious taste that the meat originally had.

Do not overcook the meat: If you want the dish to be fragrant and not dry and tough, you should avoid overcooking the meat, as it will lose its deliciousness and become dry, similar to chewing straw, losing the fatty taste.
