yeah, it tastes like salt now

good thread

>>17223727
It looks like you also put in cabbage and water. Are you sure you only put in salt?

anon you made a thorium salt reactor. RIP

WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE OP?!!
THERE'S NO WAY TO UNDO THAT
YOU'RE SO FUCKED

F

I'm pretty sure salt does not do that

>>17223727
Red cabbage is a pH indicator, so you want some acid in there for a nice colour.
Splash of vinegar or lemonjuice.

I think it's a brown recluse.

Don't do what I did and summon an eldritch horror by accident.

>>17224000
haha woah dude, that’s gnarly

>>17224000
ah, i see.
you bought the fake cabbage that's made in china out of sugars.
next time buy american.

Tasted fine, but damn them blue eggs tested my constitution check.
>>17224090
100% domestically grown. But it was half price of regular cabbage. It was kind of amazing to see the eggs first turn green and then blue.

Acid prevents this

Anthocyanins change color based on pH. Didn't you do the cabbage as a pH indicator experiment in grade school?

red cabbage can be used to make blue dye

What, did you just have a plate of boiled cabbage for dinner?

Sleepy time cabbage?

>>17224199
Eggs? Da fuq?

>>17224000
It will still taste fine, but like other people said, the issue is acidity, or lack of it.
Red cabbage is beautiful and delicious when made right. You can slice it thin and add it to a salad for esthetics or you can pickle it.
Pickled red cabbage is a big thing in German/Scandi cuisine. Very often used to accompany fatty foods like roasted duck or porkbelly. Or sausages like picrel.
Please excuse the chipped plate.

>Red cabbage is a pH indicator
what does this mean? what changes in the presence of an acid?

>>17226081
nvm i read the thread

>>17226081
you didnt pay attention to 5th grade science?

>>17223727
You have hard water, friend.

>>17226084
after reading the thread that sounds sort of familiar, but im going to blame false memories

>>17223727
>so does anyone know what happened?
with what?

>>17226102
the nuclear reactor at the bottom of his cabbage pot.

>>17226107
among all the things I hate about this site, the posting of a picture and a vague question leaving the viewer to try and figure out what the fuck they are on about.

so what the reflective sheen on the water? is that it? who the fuck cares. it could be oil, or soap film left in the pan. something in the salt, something on the cabbage.

fuck just change the water and try again.

>>17226134
It's from the cabbage. Looks like his tap water's got a decent amount of carbonate to it, and the pot's obviously not hot (enough).

>>17223727
>that Cherenkov radiation glow

Anon, you're a genius. It is truly remarkable to turn a pot with red cabbage into a nuclear reactor. Teach us your ways.

>>17226134
Get the fuck away

>>17226134
I just realized... you were talking about the steam weren't you? That's normal when cooking cabbage.

>>17226134
Go back

>>17226265
what steam? there's no steam in that picture.

>>17228055
The whispy shit that's giving the photo a Soap Opera vibe? That's steam. Steam - especially from a large simmering pot - when photographed from above, requires a glass/plexi shield, a good coating of rain-x on the lens, and/or a decent amount of dicking around in photoshop.

Either way, the pot's barely at a simmer and is full of blue water because OP's simmering cabbage in alkaline/hard tap water.

>>17226167
seriously, why is there a pool of blue fluid at the bottom of that pot? What the fuck did you put in there, OP?

>>17228116
It's a test model of a flexblue reactor.
