The color of iodine should not change
36-year-old food blogger Nikita Kravchenko from Nizhny Tagil, known by the nickname Krava Nakormit, explained how to check the quality of sausage and cheese at home. Whether to buy this or that product, see in the video above.
Cheese can be checked with boiling water
For the experiment, the blogger took popular brands from different price categories. By appearance, they are all the same. Therefore, it«s impossible to guess which product is quality and which is not.

«Just drop a small drop. If it darkens – that»s a bad sign. It means there«s a lot of starch here,» explained Nikita Kravchenko.
Cheese can be checked in the same way. But to verify its quality, you can take boiling water: if a piece doesn«t melt, then such a product isn»t worth buying.
For dry-cured sausage, any 40-degree alcohol will do. If the color of the vodka doesn«t change, then the product can be safely consumed.
«We draw conclusions: even from budget products, you can find worthy examples. Don»t let yourself be fooled!« summarized the blogger.
Nikita started making videos five years ago, and now he has millions of views and hundreds of thousands of subscribers. He told E1.RU that he ended up in this field by chance, as he previously had no interest in cooking and didn«t think it would suck him in so much. Read his story in this text.
Earlier in Yekaterinburg, they conducted a test on butter. Samples from different producers were exposed – checked for how quality they are. The results were surprising: the test, which E1.RU conducted together with the Sverdlovsk Region Public Control Committee, passed only 3 out of 15 purchased packages.
