Cooking query. My mother does it one way and my future mother in law the other so I was wondering what everyone else does. |

I used to put salt in with the carrots (in cold water). |

I would always have added salt if cooking for others though if it's just for me I won't add any. Future mother in law though says they are a sweet vegetable so should be sugared instead. |

I always add sugar to fresh peas when they are coming to an end. |

Neither. Carrots have enough flavour. |

Always add a sprinkle of salt to vegetables but a touch of sugar to soften the cabbage............maybe....... |

Neither. Salt is only added at the table, at the person's own (health) risk. Too much salt in the daily diet is as bad as too much sugar. |

I remember times as a child, the dinner would be cooking and mum would suddenly freak out - she'd forgotten to put salt in with the potatoes - you'd think it was the end of the world! :-0 :-S |

I evidently have a death wish because I put salt and pepper on my food, and butter sometimes too. |

I cringe when I see cooking shows call for a pinch of salt...then they put in what I'd say was a years worth. No salt cellar on the table, do put a little in food sometimes. |

Cor! I'm 76 and passed me cooks badge in scouts 1954 but never heard of adding sugar to carrots! Some people use it for cauliflower tho - so I understand. I do bulk of cooking but dont add salt nor sugar to any veg. I use electric steamer for veg - consider saucepans very old fashioned for these days. Steamers only need one source of power, dont boil over and take about 30 mins to cook stuff |

OK! Not adding (pun intended) to the debate on salting or sugaring vegetable water as we do neither, but I do remember when cooking with my mother- as an aide, not with her as one of the ingredients- adding bicarb to sprouts as it was supposed to retain their 'green' colour. |
