How to use baking soda to make your meat more tender

dadsr4 · Aug 16, 2016

It's always nice to find a way to afford more meat.
"Here’s what to do with a large piece of meat you might grill or pan-sear.
① Rub the meat with baking soda.
② Let it rest in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 hours.
③ Rinse the meat thoroughly to remove all the baking soda.
④ Cook as desired, then bite into a seriously tender piece of meat."

Hell ya. I love messing around with things that can either go completely wrong or there is no noticeable difference :becky:

I'll do it if I remember.

I wonder if this would penetrate very far in a thick cut or just make the outside really soft? I don't think I would want to spend a lot of money to find out.

Yes I read that article in Cooks Illustrated and tried it with stir fry beef and it works. Juice stays in the meat, keeping it very tender and moist.

Have tried it on ribs with no noticeable change. Google "silking" or "velveting", tons of info out there.
