question:
CONTEXT: The proteins in a fresh egg are too viscous, even when thoroughly beaten, to wash a baked good.The water thins the proteins so you get a nice glaze instead of a layer of scrambled egg.Older eggs have sometimes degraded enough that they don't need the water but it is easier to always add water than to make a subjective judgement on the state of your egg proteins.  <sep>  Q: What's the purpose of adding water to an egg wash? A: The water thins the proteins so you get a nice glaze instead of a layer of scrambled egg  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Many recipes I've seen call for beating a tablespoon###or so of water in with the egg for an egg wash.###What is the effect of adding the water to the egg wash when baking?
answer:
The water thins the proteins so you get a nice glaze instead of a layer of scrambled egg


question:
CONTEXT: In Britain (and France), the large purple varieties are known as aubergines. Other (pale and/or small) varieties aren't usually found outside of Asian supermarkets, where I imagine they are still referred to as brinjal.The name 'eggplant' is used in the US, Canada, and the Antipodes, mainly because the lighter varieties are more common there, which arguably have the colour of eggshell.They are, however, all just different varieties of the same plant, like yellow and red tomatoes.  <sep>  Q: What are purple small Brinjals called in English? A: In Britain (and France), the large purple varieties are known as aubergines  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: There are white and green Brinjals too. Do they have a different name?
answer:
Other (pale and/or small) varieties aren't usually found outside of Asian supermarkets, where I imagine they are still referred to as brinjal


question:
CONTEXT: It was timing. If you want to make chocolate meringues, add the cocoa powder to the liquid egg whites, and then whisk it all together at once. Beaten egg whites are bubbles. Don't add things to an already-formed meringue, as they will just cause the bubble structure to collapse.Ever sprinkled sugar or cinnamon powder on a cappuccino? Notice how the milk foam immediately collapses? The same thing happened to your meringue.  <sep>  Q: What caused my meringue to fall after adding cocoa? A: Ever sprinkled sugar or cinnamon powder on a cappuccino? Notice how the milk foam immediately collapses? The same thing happened to your meringue  Q: Was it the amount of cocoa powder? Was it the fact that it was dark cocoa? A: It was timing. If you want to make chocolate meringues, add the cocoa powder to the liquid egg whites, and then whisk it all together at once  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I see. When should I add the cocoa then?###Got it###Thank you!
