Transportation
- Toilet waste is never intentionally dumped overboard from an aircraft. All waste is collected in tanks which are emptied on the ground by special toilet waste vehicles. A vacuum is used to allow the toilet to be flushed with less water and because plumbing cannot rely on gravity alone in an aircraft in motion.[384][385] The infamous blue ice is caused by accidental leakages from the waste tank. Passenger trains, on the other hand, have historically flushed onto the tracks; however, modern trains usually have retention tanks on board the train.

Cooking [ ]
- Searing meat does not “seal in” moisture, and in fact may actually cause meat to lose moisture. Rather, meat is seared to create a brown crust and to add a rich flavor via the Maillard reaction.[25][26]
- Mussels that do not open when cooked can still be fully cooked and safe to eat.[27]
- All true teas, including black, green, and white teas, come from the Camellia sinensis plant. Herbal “teas”, such as those made from chamomile, peppermint, or rooibos, usually contain no tea.[citation needed]
- When cooking with alcoholic beverages, the alcohol does not completely evaporate (or ‘burn off’ in common terminology); the amount remaining depends upon the cooking method used.[28]
- Adding salt to water does not make it boil faster, the salt is just an impurity that allows the water to come to a higher temperature. Furthermore, adding a “pinch” of salt to water will make little or no measurable difference.
