How To Wash Strawberries
Discover the best and easiest way to wash strawberries the right way, making sure they're clean, fresh, and perfect for chocolate dipping.
Equipment
- 1 Bowl
- 1 teaspoon
- 1 Measuring Cup
- Strawberries (I used 2 boxes)
- 4 Cups Water
- ¼ Cup White Vinegar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
Instructions
- Grab a large bowl and place your strawberries in it. You'll want to cover them with room temperature water.
- Add 1/4 cup of white vinegar and a teaspoon of baking soda. Stir everything and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure you don't keep them soaking for more than 10 minutes, this will result in soggy strawberries.
- After soaking, rinse your strawberries under cool running water. Make sure all the vinegar and baking soda is rinsed off. Cover a tray with paper towels, laying down two or three layers to soak up the water. Spread your strawberries out on the tray.
- Take another paper towel and gently pat each strawberry dry. Let the strawberries air dry on the paper towel-covered tray for a little while. I usually wait about 15 to 30 minutes. You want no visible water or dampness before you start dipping them in chocolate.
