Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, answer a follow-up question from the paragraph. The paragraph has a prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by answer prefix 'A:'. The final followup question has a prefix 'FOLLOWUP_Q:'.

[EX Q]: CONTEXT: I make split pea soup (with a hambone, which is an unavoidable source of salt - I don't add any extra salt until the very end) pretty regularly. I don't soak the peas. It takes more like 3 or 4 hours for the peas to dissolve. It's not a gradual process either - for ages and ages there are little peas floating in broth, and you can eat one and it's soft, but they don't lose their shape, and then the next time you stop by the stove, it's a uniform puree without having done anything. Just keep simmering, is my advice.  <sep>  Q: How do I get the peas to dissolve and make a thick broth for split pea soup? A: Just keep simmering, is my advice  Q: How long should I need to simmer the soup? A: It takes more like 3 or 4 hours for the peas to dissolve  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: So if I only simmered for one hour that's not long enough?
[EX A]: ages and ages

[EX Q]: CONTEXT: The sugar is mostly just for flavor. I use sugar when making pickled beets and eggs, but don't use it in my dill pickles or pickled peppers and onions. It just depends on if you are trying for a sour, sweet and sour, or sweet pickle (note that there is no vinegar in many fruit pickles).Before you decide to run off and leave out the vinegar, however, I would note that for pickling safety purposes there has to be enough acid to keep botulism causing bacteria from forming and peppers are a low acid vegetable. If you wanted to eliminate the vinegar, you'd have to move to pressure canning.  <sep>  Q: What's the purpose of sugar in a pickling solution? A: The sugar is mostly just for flavor  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does is affect the preservative qualities?
[EX A]: for pickling safety purposes there has to be enough acid to keep botulism causing bacteria from forming and peppers are a low acid vegetable

[EX Q]: CONTEXT: First off, when reheating soup, it won't matter much. If you get the pan too hot before you add the soup, you could get some spattering, but that's about it.As for making a fresh batch, there are those who believe that browning the ingredients before adding the liquids will develop more flavor. This will be a lot easier to do with a hot pan, than trying to get a cold pan full of stuff up to a heat sufficient to cause browning. Overall, it's a tradeoff. If you're in a hurry, it might be worth saving the few minutes to just throw everything in the pan and heat it up. If you really want to develop every last bit of flavor, you'll probably be better off heating your pan, browning ingredients, then adding liquid.  <sep>  Q: Should I preheat the pot if I am going to make soup or put in the ingredients and heat it all up together? A: This will be a lot easier to do with a hot pan  Q: So I heat the pan and then add say vegetable oil or I put the oil in when its cold? A: browning the ingredients before adding the liquids will develop more flavor  Q: What if I am reheating a soup that I have in the fridge? A: when reheating soup, it won't matter much  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Should I reheat it on low or high heat?
[EX A]:
