Nowadays, many households have the habit of rinsing meat to eliminate chemicals and contaminants in meat and seafood... but few know that this practice is not entirely correct.
In reality, to protect their health and that of their families, many Vietnamese homemakers have tried various methods to reduce the amount of chemicals and dust clinging to the meat. The common approach is to rinse the meat with boiling water or briefly boil it and then discard the first batch of water before cooking the meat thoroughly in a fresh batch of water.
Rinsing meat with boiling water is a method commonly used by many households
Many households still use boiling water to rinse meat not just once, but repeatedly, thinking that all impurities in the meat will be removed.
However, according to experts, this method does not effectively eliminate chemicals in the meat. On the contrary, it makes the meat soak up more harmful chemicals. Responding to an interview, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh (former lecturer at the Institute of Food Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology) explained that the nutrients in meat are mainly protein and fat. Substances like vitamins and amino acids are mostly in the protein cells. When meat is immersed in boiling water, it contracts, increasing the absorption of chemicals and contaminants, making the meat more toxic.
Therefore, if homemakers believe that rinsing meat with boiling water multiple times can remove chemicals and impurities, it is entirely a misconception.
Alarmed when rinsing dirty meat in boiling water results in murky and foamy water
Prof. Thinh also suggests, the best way to eliminate chemicals and dirt in pork is to wash it thoroughly with clean water after buying it at the market.
Alternatively, women can prepare a diluted saltwater solution to clean the meat. Because, diluted saltwater also has the ability to remove dirt clinging to the meat. Mr. Thinh adds that when boiling meat, homemakers often notice foamy water. This phenomenon actually proves that the meat still contains a certain amount of dirt.
Cleanly raised pork shows minimal foam when rinsing
The reason is that pork or poultry is often raised in households. Therefore, when eating meat, it often has a very distinctive flavor. When boiling, the meat rarely produces foamy bubbles. However, nowadays, many households no longer follow traditional livestock farming practices, opting for industrial farming instead... Consequently, the quality of meat is significantly reduced, containing more impurities than usual.
