So, does boiling kill bacteria? Yes, mostly. But it’s not a cure-all. Use common sense: fresh food, proper storage, and trust your nose.
Next time you boil water, think about the microscopic war happening. You’re a tiny exterminator with a big pot. Boil on, brave chef. Just don’t boil the honey.
And remember: If in doubt, throw it out. Or at least boil it until your curiosity—and your dinner—are fully cooked.
