In cooking the terms "boiling water" or "boil the water" are frequently used. The housewife sometimes thinks that the water is boiling when, unfortunately, the boiling point has not been reached. These suggestions will probably help her to understand the term boiling: When water is placed in a pan and heated and the bubbles stick to the bottom of the pan, the temperature is around 160° F. When the bubbles rise to the top, the temperature is around 180° F. When the water starts to move slowly about the pan, the temperature is around 200° F. When the water jumps and tries to get out of the pan, the temperature is around 211° F to 212° F. 212° F is the exact temperature of the boiling point. All these temperatures are from sea level to 1000 feet above sea level. |
