Kan ik aardappelzetmeel vervangen door maïzena (corn starch)?
Vaak wel. Voor het binden van sauzen kun je meestal 1-op-1 vervangen. Voor frituren en krokante coatings geeft aardappelzetmeel vaak een luchtiger en knapperiger resultaat dan maïzena.
Welke is beter voor krokant frituren?
Aardappelzetmeel. Het zorgt doorgaans voor een lichtere, krokantere korst (bijv. karaage-stijl).
Welke is beter voor sausbinding?
Beide werken goed. Maïzena wordt vaker gebruikt voor klassieke sausbinding; aardappelzetmeel geeft vaak een helderdere, glanzendere binding.
