Did you know seltzer can rescue a soggy salad? If your greens are wilting, soak them in cold seltzer for five minutes. The bubbles lift the leaves, making them crisp again. Magic? Science? Who cares—it works.
And for the love of batter, use seltzer in your pancake or tempura mix. It adds lightness and a crunch that flat water could only dream of. You’ll never go back to tap water in your frying pan again.
