Does adding baking soda to beef help retain moisture?
Would this work on steaks or other cuts of meats?
Do you mix the baking soda into the pound of ground beef or just sprinkle it on top -- like say on top and bottom of a hamburger?
mix it in.
I use baking soda to velvet beef, chicken, and shrimp for stir fried dishes, but never thought of using it on ground beef. That's wild!
How would I work the baking soda into a steak? Such as seasoning by sprinkling it on each side and let it rest for 15 minutes
I was worried you were going to stop at comparing the mass of one to the volume of the other. The chemistry teacher in me was going to have big-time beef with your conclusions. The identical glass comparison saved your bacon. Nice job.
Thanks, chef. Do you think ¼ teaspoon per pound is the formula to use across meant cuts and types?
*meat
Any reason to expect different results for ground pork, turkey, or veal?
Good demo. One point - two ounces by weight (on the scale) is not the same as two ounces by volume (fluid ounce). Close - but different.
