How long to blanch carrots

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 2:00

How are they cut?

Sensei times to the thinnest dimension — heat travels the shortest path.

How do you want them?

Crisp-tender is the one most recipes mean.

How to tell without a timer

Into the ice bath now.

Straight into ice water when the timer ends. Carrots left in the hot pot keep cooking.

How it goes

  1. Into water at a rolling boil. Have the ice bath ready.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
