Gorąca woda
Description
Hot water is transparent, tasteless, and odorless, although temperature clearly influences the perception of dishes and infusions, giving them warmth and intensifying aromas. From a nutritional standpoint, it does not provide calories or macronutrients, but it plays a key role in hydrating the body, aiding digestion, soothing sore throats, and relaxing the airways; drinking warm water can also improve circulation and support metabolism, as long as it is consumed in moderation. In the kitchen, hot water is essential for brewing teas and coffees, preparing broths, blanching vegetables, cooking pasta, dissolving gelatin, and poaching and preparing sauces, proving useful in practically every technique that requires heat. It is best stored in a clean kettle or thermos and consumed within a few hours; avoid boiling it multiple times and exercise caution when handling it to prevent burns.
