What sort of ingredients keep well in this process? How about mushrooms and potatoes?
The ones I take out after boiling for a while: onions, bell peppers, meat bones.
Ones that are kinda okay: beans of various sort (become too soft, yet don't disintegrate fast enough, and collect at the bottom of pot so difficult to take out), cooked rice.
Definitely bad: noodles.
Including bones / carcasses.
