Will the use of a lid in cooking influence the pH of the cooking liquid? How?
Using a lid when cooking does influence the pH of the cooking liquid. When the product is heated, the natural acids are released; a lid prevents the acids from escaping out of the saucepan, which promotes an acidic environment. This will discolor the final product. Keeping the lid off of the pan during the first three minutes of heating will reduce acid accumulation.
