An instructive tale on how to cook meat

If you are a vegetarian, then you hardly need to read this, because it's about meat and how to cook it. If you do not mind eating the boiled chicken or pork chill, then you are welcome. You will learn many secrets about how to cook meat properly and why it is needed.

Perhaps someone periodically asks the question, how to cook meat correctly and in what kind of water is it preferable to put meat before cooking - in cold or hot? The answer is simple: you can put it in both cold and hot water, depending on what is more important to you - meat or broth. If you want to get a tasty and healthy broth, then put the meat in cold water. In this case, water will absorb most of the vitamins and nutrients of meat. If meat is more important, then it is better to put it in boiling water so that all useful substances remain in it. At the end of cooking, the meat should be allowed to brew for at least 10 minutes.

When cooking a strong broth, it is important to remember that you do not need to remove the foam from it, because it is a protein that contains most of the nutrients. And so that the foam does not bother you, before cooking meat, throw a whole bulb into the water - this will allow the squirrel to settle on the bottom of the pan and do not rise again. The lid after boiling should be tightly closed, and the fire on the stove - the minimum. Thanks to this, the broth will be transparent. And do not be surprised if after the meat is cooked, the piece will look smaller. This is because about 35% of its liquid meat gives broth.

But how much to cook meat so that it is soft, juicy and tasty? It depends on what kind of meat you cook. For example, fresh beef is cooked for about an hour and a half after boiling, and the defrosted can cook for two hours and three. If you cook pork, then you need to take into account both the size of the piece, and its "age." On average, pork is brewed from one to two hours. For veal, the minimum cooking time is 1 hour. For chicken - 40-50 minutes, if the chicken is whole, and 30-35 minutes, if it is cooked by pieces. The broiler chicken should be cooked for about an hour and a half, as well as for turkey pieces. But still the most important sign that the meat is ready is its easy "slipping" from the bones.

Separately, I would like to mention how to properly cook rabbit meat. Rabbit is a special meat that has truly unique dietary qualities. It contains a lot of useful protein and very little fat and cholesterol. Characteristics of rabbit meat significantly exceed the characteristics of everyone's favorite beef, pork, lamb, as rabbit meat contains a large amount of calcium, magnesium, potassium, PP vitamins and phosphorus. It is for this reason that the rabbit is recommended to children and that's why you need to know how to cook rabbit meat so as to remove the excess smells inherent in it and a little bitterness.

It should be noted that the best part is to cook the front part of the rabbit, and the rest - to fry, bake or simmer. Before cooking rabbit meat, it must be pre-soaked in water. This will not only make the meat more fragrant and soft, but will also remove the specific smell of the rabbit. The rabbit is soaked for three hours. If you bought a young rabbit, then it is enough to soak it in water or serum. If the rabbit is a little "elderly", then apple or wine vinegar should be added to the water . The meat of a not very young rabbit has a stronger unpleasant odor, and only vinegar can kill it. But the taste of meat in this case will decrease slightly.

As for how much to cook rabbit meat, then in time it can take 35-40 minutes if the rabbit is brewed by pieces. If you still want to weld it whole, then it will take 1.5-2.5 hours. And do not forget to add spices, because the rabbit loves them very much.
