Does this work with ground chicken and ground turkey as well?

It also changes the texture, and makes it feel weird when eating it.

To me, the smell of ground turkey meat is absolutely disgusting, somewhere between feces and mostly rotting flesh.

Hi ATK, can you please test the max amount of baking soda I can put in meat without tasting it? Thanks 🙏🏽

It’s called velveting

Don't do this.

The one on the right looks better and can be browned/seared properly without baking soda.

You have to let it cook.

What with digestion or health benefits/ drawbacks?

I also can taste when its had baking soda, unfortunately

Oh you discovered velveting, a thing that's a thousand years old. Good job, Brit.
