Does chewing break a fast?

So I’m in a circumstance where I need to help cook for family and obviously I want to taste the foods.

Would it break my fast if I chew and taste without swallowing anything, immediately rinsing out mouth out with water after I spit it out? Or would it trigger something?

Answer

“breaking” a fast requires an insulin response. DrinkIng water, chewing ice, and even taking MCT oil (pure fat) will not break a fast. The latter, some might say, is “dirty fasting,” but your fasting procedure is pretty personal, so do your thing
