Niiskutamisel

Niiskutamisel is a term used in Estonia to describe the process of moistening or dampening something. It refers to the act of adding moisture to a material, often to alter its properties or prepare it for a subsequent action. This can range from a light spritz of water to a more thorough saturation. The purpose of niiskutamisel varies greatly depending on the context. For example, in cooking, dough might be niiskutatud to achieve the desired consistency for baking. In construction, materials like wood or plaster might be niiskutatud to prevent them from drying too quickly and cracking. In gardening, plants are niiskutatud through watering to provide them with necessary hydration. The degree of moisture added is usually controlled to achieve a specific outcome, avoiding over-wetting which could be detrimental. The term is general and can apply to many different substances and situations where the addition of moisture is a key step.
