I have a quick question, wasn't sure if this should be here or /sci/.

Is it safe to boil meat, like chicken? A friend of mine told me that boiling water does not go above a certain temperature and therefore can not kill off the bacteria.

>> No.4376328

Your friend is wrong.

The reason boiling meat isn't popular is because dry heat and high temperatures give the flavors you crave.

>> No.4376337

when I make chicken salad I boil the meat in water with herbs & spices

Your friend is correct if he's talking about re-heating leftovers that have been stored at an unsafe temperature.

You'll kill all bacteria at 100 celcius but you can't destroy spores of botulism if they're already present in the food.

Why are you and your friend so stupid? How do people like you survive?

Thanks, maybe this is what he heard and assumed it was true for everything.

Who boils soup? It only gets simmered

>> No.4376826

I've been boiling chicken for chicken salad and chicken and dumplings for years and been eating the the stuff my mother made the same way
I'm still alive

Boiling meat is fine, but disgusting.

Jesus Christ, i have to agree with>>4376413 over here.
Boiling water is at 100 degrees C, most bacteria dies at 60 degrees C.

This.
Boiling destroys the flavors in the soup

Absolutely every published soup recipe calls for bringing the water to a boil initially for sanitization. After you have achieved the boil you back off to simmer to not cook off volatile essentials unnecessarily.

>simmered
Simmer == just above 100C aka boiling point

its below, god damn even the word sounds more gentle than boil

>> No.4377156

i think the most important question here is, how old is your friend, and how old is OP?

i think that might be a thing here.

if there are bubbles coming up, then the water is boiling. while the entire pot is not necessarily at 100 celsius or higher, parts of it are. convection will do the rest.
