Water is one ingredient that is often overlooked in recipes. Any recipe that contains reducing, boiling, simmering, soaking or mixing contains water, but water is water, right?
We don’t think much about the type of water we put in our food. However, what we may not realize is the water we cook with for our families may be full of contaminants. In certain cities, water even contains chlorine.
Although public water purification facilities work hard to ensure the safety of our drinking water, some contaminants may be difficult to detect especially if entering the home through aging pipes. Without a water filtration system the water you are using for cooking is full of impurities, this can overpower flavours in you food.
Filtering your water properly can also affect the way dough rises, how beans cook and how crusts bake. Not using a water treatment system may have a negative effect on yeast, where it slows down its fermentation process and over toughens the gluten structure. Additionally, if you follow a recipe that includes reducing or simmering – for soups or sauces – with unfiltered water, you’d be increasing the concentration of impurities by double or more.
Reverse osmosis water purification technology
A Kinetico Drinking Water System is the solution to your toughest drinking water challenges. The Reverse Osmosis technology uses a semi-permeable membrane to filter contaminants from water. “Semi-permeable” means that some things can pass through and others can’t. During Reverse Osmosis the water molecules are pushed through the membrane. The waste, a highly concentrated solution of contaminants, is sent to the drain. You are left with virtually contaminant-free, pure water that makes it through the membrane. Learn more about Reverse Osmosis water purification here.
What are the benefits of cooking with Kinetico’s Reverse Osmosis water?
Well, a Kinetico water filtration system will take your cooking to the next level: your food will keep its flavours.
When a Kinetico sytem filters water it makes it easier to cook vegetables and preserve their texture and vitamin content. It also takes less time and doesn’t have the same overcooking effect that impure water has on vegetables. That won’t happen with Kinetico’s Reverse Osmosis treatment system.
