Why you shouldn't leave a ladle in a pot of soup

In some families, leaving a ladle in the soup is a major cause for scandal. However, not every housewife can explain her demand, prohibition and irritation in this case. To understand her motives, you will have to study the mystical and scientific rationales for removing the ladle from the pan.

Rational reasons for the ban

The requirement to remove the ladle has a scientific basis, which we will discuss below. However, for some housewives, even a logically explained taboo is not something worthy of attention. They explain their reluctance to take out the scoop by saying that they have left it all their lives and will continue to do so.

Reassure them that this behavior is is fraught with souring of food, dysbacteriosis and damage to utensils - a waste of time. They are the mistresses of their kitchen, and therefore they “know better.”

For those who are willing to listen, it will be useful to know the rational reasons for removing the ladle from the pan.

Unnecessary smell

It is necessary to cover the pan before placing it in the refrigerator. Otherwise it the contents will either be saturated with the smell of other products, or will itself act as a source of aroma.

The ladle prevents compliance with this rule. Because of this, the lid does not lie flat, leaving a gap.

Refrigerator placement problem

A standard kitchen ladle may cause there is simply no place for the saucepan in the refrigerator.

A long ladle handle requires more height between shelves than a pan without it. The problem can be solved by rearranging the shelves, but why bother if you can just remove the ladle?

Fast cooling

If you leave the ladle in hot soup, the ladle will heat up and the dish will cool down prematurely.

Bacteria

A dish that is not hermetically sealed and placed in the refrigerator acts as ideal habitat for psychrophilic bacteria. They love moderately low temperatures and actively reproduce on refrigerated food. Their presence in food guarantees poisoning and dysbacteriosis.

Transfer of germs

When pouring liquid products, we sometimes touch the plate with the ladle. The latter clearly has germs on it. By themselves, they are harmless, but transferring them with a ladle into a common pan is not the best idea.

From the arrival of a new type of microorganisms bLudo will spoil faster.

Important! For each new meal, it is better to use only clean kitchen utensils.

Problems with washing the ladle

The plastic white scoop may become stained from prolonged contact with food containing large amounts of beets, carrots or oil. Some spices can also leave traces, and it can be extremely difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to wash dishes from them.

All of the above does not apply to a scratched or damaged ladle. In a good way, it should be thrown away altogether. It is impossible to wash and rinse such a scoop normally.

Important! The deformed area of ​​the ladle becomes a habitat for pieces of old food, microorganisms and detergents.
