How to properly cook carrots?
First of all, you should pay attention to the vegetable itself. It is best to take carrots of medium size. If you need to boil several pieces at once, try to choose relatively similar vegetables.
An important nuance is that carrots should be cooked in their skins. To do this, you should first wash the vegetable well and clean it with the hard side of the sponge.
But carrots should be cleaned after they have been cooked and cooled.
The average cooking time is 25 minutes.
Remember that you need to put carrots in cold water.
It is best to add more water so that a layer of water of 2-3 centimeters forms above the vegetable.
Also, do not forget that it is best to cook carrots under the lid.
