A scientist has put common kitchen myths to the test, finding many wanting. Like these:
- Searing meat seals in the juices
- A box of baking soda in the fridge or freezer absorbs odors
- When you add alcohol to a recipe it all evaporates during cooking so there is none in the final dish
- Avoid aluminum cookware because of Alzheimer’s disease
- Microwave cooking destroys nutrients more than other cooking methods
