WHY does meat have to "rest" after cooking? ⠀ All meat should "rest" after cooking: at least 10 minutes for small pieces and 15-20 minutes for large pieces, such as chicken baked whole. Why is this so important? ⠀ As the juice of just cooked meat is too liquid. If you cut the meat, it will leak out, leaving the piece too dry. The "resting" time allows the juice to spread evenly over the meat fibers and thicken, making the meat tender, juicy and flavorful.

WHY is red considered the color of love? According to one version, love first became associated with the color red after the appearance of a popular 13th-century French poem called The Romance of the Rose. It tells of the hero's allegorical search for a red rose, which symbolized his beloved. And later, in the 19th century, French and English writers created the language of flowers, according to which the red rose means love. Subsequently, it was no longer only the red rose…

To ponder: A 2-year-old will not care whether the clothes are fancy, the toys are new, or the house is big; however, they can sense whether the love is real.

WHY is breakfast in European hotels called "continental"? That's what British travelers called it back in the 19th century. Many European hotels in the price includes a so-called continental breakfast: coffee, juice, pastries and butter and jam. The name "continental" was coined by the British in the 19th century, who came from the islands to the territory of continental Europe (and called this part of the world simply "continent") for leisure or business, stayed in hotels…

WHY and how can one bite the tongue? A powerful artery runs in the root of the tongue, in the lower part, and by biting it, in case of failure to provide some assistance, you can die of blood loss. True, death would not be quick. To do this, one must know the place of biting the tongue and master the technique of powerful strokes (bites). As for the technical performance of this procedure, obviously, it will not work without special psychological and physical training.…

WHY shouldn't alcohol be used to keep warm? Alcohol affects the vascular center of the brain, causing blood vessels throughout the body and head to dilate. This creates a deceptive sensation of warmth, while in fact the temperature of the human body decreases, mainly due to heat transfer to the environment. First of all, alcohol promotes expansion of peripheral capillaries and vessels, creating a feeling of a rush of heat, thereby reducing the vigilance of citizens, as cold…

¿Lo sabías?... Sabías que el ruido de la lluvia es malo para los oídos de los perros? A los perros no les gusta salir a la calle bajo la lluvia, no porque tengan miedo de mojarse, sino porque el sonido de la lluvia puede dañar sus sensibles oídos.

WHY is the watch worn on the left hand? In 1904 Cartier's friend, the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, asked Cartier to make a watch for flying. Cartier invented the Santos, the first wristwatch for men (mechanical). The Santos was an extremely wearable wristwatch. During the First World War the wristwatch replaced the pocket watch and became popular among officers. The Santos wristwatch appeared as a tool to be worn on the left hand, as most people were more handy with their…

WHY does an unripe fruit get ripe? Since it produces its own ripening hormone without the involvement of the mother plant Ripening of fruits and vegetables is driven by ethylene. This natural plant hormone was discovered in 1912 by Russian botanist Dmitri Nelyubov. Since the gas is produced by the fruit itself, the fruit does not need to hang on the branch. The plucked fruit can ripen even faster than the unplucked, since the release of ethylene increases with a lack of…

WHY is Mars the Red Planet? Mars, or the "bloody planet," derived its name from the Roman god of war, has always occupied human minds. In ancient times, people were afraid of Mars, considering it a "bad" planet, and modern man studies this mysterious planet, sending rovers to it and observing it from Earth. Soil samples of the planet collected by rovers show that it has a high content of iron oxide, or simply put - rust. Tornadoes constantly rage on the planet's surface,…

WHY is the Earth spinning faster? July 19, 2020 was the shortest day since observations began - the Earth made a revolution around its axis by 1.4602 milliseconds less than the usual 86,400 seconds. Scientists claim that in the year of 2021, each day is 0.5 milliseconds shorter on average due to the acceleration of the planet's rotation. In recent decades, the average speed of Earth's rotation has steadily decreased, and timekeepers have had to add 27 extra seconds to atomic…

WHY are probiotics useful? Probiotics are bacteria that are proven to benefit the human body. The most common probiotics are lacto- and bifidobacteria. Other microorganisms can also be classified as probiotics, such as the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii. In the human gut, probiotics compete with harmful bacteria, suppress their growth and maintain the protective barrier of the intestinal walls. In this way, they reduce the likelihood of inflammation.

WHY do musicians perform wearing headphones? These are called personal ear monitoring systems. A performing artist uses it to hear the music that is currently playing on stage. The fact is that when a singer performs on stage, the music coming from the speakers is not quite good enough for the performer to hear. First, the speakers deafen the singer, and secondly, they are directed toward the audience, so the performer cannot hear the exact rhythm and beat of the music.…

WHY is it better to bite your food in small pieces? ⠀ If you can always take small bites out of your meals, you can prevent overeating and get rid of excess weight, since you will feel full quicker. ⠀ When people eat large portions of food, they cannot adequately estimate how much they have eaten.
@Slashvi
Still very nice today. Show yours. Happy weekend!

WHY is there 12 months in a year? Cause there are 12 new moons in the year. People used to count time using recurring natural phenomena. A year is the time from one flood to the other. Conversely, a month is the period from new moon to new moon, which is about 29.5 solar days. ➡ About 12 such intervals fit into a year, so 12 months were counted annually.

WHY does the heart beat in pairs? These sounds are generated by different parts of the heart and different valves. The first beat is the sound of blood reverberating (reflecting) in the left atrium when the mitral (atrial-ventricular) valve closes. It marks the end of the pumping of a portion of blood from the atrium to the ventricle. The second beat is created by the reverberation of blood in the left ventricle at the closure of the ventriculo-aortic valve and signifies the…

WHY does Asians eat with chopsticks? ⠀ Most likely, it was due to the rapid growth of the country's population: food was in short supply, so the Celestials cut it into small pieces to cook it faster and make it easier to divide among a large group. ⠀ Small sliced food is nothing to cut with a knife, however, handy to take with chopsticks, which in addition are extremely easy to make and cheap, so the innovation quickly spread across the country.

WHY were parrots the closest companions of pirates? These bright exotic birds reminded the robbers of distant countries and islands. Yet the most remarkable thing is that parrots are able to memorize words and copy human speech. Birds quickly become tame, easily follow the call of the owner, and some are true interlocutors. Over time, this feature has entered so much into folklore that we no longer imagine the old pirate with nothing but a wooden leg and a parrot on his…

WHY don't snakes blink? Some people mistakenly answer this question: "Because snakes don't have eyelids". That's not true. Snakes do have eyelids. But they are transparent and fused together. The thin transparent skin that protects the eyes, when molting, comes off with the skin of the snake as a single mass. But if a snake's eyelids were ordinary, it would complicate the molting process considerably. Thus, snakes sleep with their eyes open because they cannot close them due…
