minus-squareklemptor@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·3 months agoSalted water boils at a higher temp vs. unsalted water - this is known as boiling point elevation. But I don’t know offhand (there’s a formula) how much salt would be required to meaningfully raise the boiling point.
minus-squareBakerBagel@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·3 months agoYou would need enough salt to make a brine to noticably affect the boiling temperature. It takes about 30 grams of table salt per liter of water to raise the boiling temperature of water to 100.5 Celsius at sea level.. The only difference you would actually notice is your food is now inedible because you have used an entire restaurant table shaker of salt in your food.
