Alkaline water is great for drinking and cleaning, but did you know that water at a pH level of 8.0 to 9.0 improves the cooking process? This water benefits your favorite dishes in many ways; and you can easily get the pH level you need for cooking by putting your tap water through alkaline water systems designed for home use.

Food Preparation

Start the cooking process by preparing the food with slightly alkaline water before you cook it. Clean produce with it to get rid of chemicals on the surface, soak seafood in it to cut down on the fishiness and soak meat in the water for about half an hour to tenderize it. You can prepare other foods with alkaline water in the same way, such as soaking dried beans in it when you’re softening them.

Cooking With Alkaline Water

Cooking in slightly alkaline water helps keep the flavor of many foods, while cutting the bitterness and acidity of certain types. It can enhance the flavor of rice, pasta, soups, stews, and similar meals or side dishes since it doesn’t break down the flavor like acidic water does. In addition to helping the flavor, this water also keeps many of the nutrients of the ingredients within the dish whereas cooking often kills a significant portion.

Create Alkaline Water Drinks

Alkaline water from water ionizer machines provides the same flavor-enhancing benefit for tea and coffee when you brew them with it. Also, feel free to boost the flavor and healthiness of your favorite smoothie, iced tea, and other drinks by mixing in some alkaline water or alkaline water ice cubes.

Where to Get Alkaline Water for Cooking

It would be expensive, wasteful, and inconvenient to purchase bottles of alkaline water for the purpose of cooking. Instead, get alkaline water straight from your tap by hooking up the 2014 Luxury Alkaline Water Ionizer IonTech IT-588 to your faucet. The water comes out of the spout of these water ionizer machines at the pH level you set, so you can easily fill a pot for cooking.

Another benefit of cooking with water that comes from these alkaline water systems is that it filters contaminants out of the water while changing the pH level. That way, you will have significantly fewer contaminants in the food you eat that would have come from the water.

Try the IT-588 or another ionizer machine to see how alkaline water can improve the flavors and healthiness of your cooking.
