Are you sabotaging your own cooking by using unfiltered tap water?
Are you sabotaging your own cooking by using unfiltered tap water?
If you care about what your family eats, it’s worth thinking about what they’re drinking too, especially when it comes to water.
The UK has some of the best tap water in the world, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. There are still things in it that can impact the taste and quality of your food and drinks.
The good news? A water filter is a simple fix that will make a big difference.
Experts always recommend washing fruit and vegetables before you eat them, but washing them in tap water could be making things worse. Filtering water removes foreign particles, ensuring your produce is actually being cleaned rather than contaminated.
Many people assume that cooking food or boiling water automatically kills bacteria, but the reality is that many dishes aren’t heated high or long enough.
This means that any bacteria present in your unfiltered tap water will still be there when you sit down to eat.
Struggling to achieve the perfect rise? It could be the chlorine in your water.
Chlorine interrupts the behaviour of yeast in food, so if you’re a home baker, your breads probably haven’t been turning out the way they should.
The scum you see on your tea, the limescale in your kettle, the smell of chlorine when you turn on the tap – these are all elements that can alter the great flavours you try to create with every meal. Even if you’re not adding water to your dish directly, just boiling pasta or rice in unfiltered tap water can spoil the taste.
