Given the background description of some cooking related query, summarize the question into a title

[EX Q]: Recently my cousin started to make yogurt. She told me that she puts diced, fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches) into the inoculated milk (pasteurized or sterilized, I don't know. 1) and then let this set in the oven at ~50°C for some hours. After this, she puts the yogurt into the fridge. She makes enough yogurt for ten days; on the tenth day she takes the last yogurt portion and makes some new. At the first thought I couldn't imagine that fresh fruits stay safe for ten days (I wouldn't eat cut fruits that stayed for ten days in the fridge!). But after some pondering I wondered if it's safe after all because the milk and the fruits are going to be cultured and undesired bacteria are going to be eliminated. I think freshly diced fruit only contain bacteria on the surface. 1 I saw a really big jug of milk. She lives in Georgia, US. I don't know what's the common treatment of milk there.
[EX A]: Soon-to-be cultured milk with fresh fruit safe for consumption?

[EX Q]: I cook quite regularly at home, but I have trouble tasting food while cooking. All I want to know is if I should adjust salt, pepper or sourness. On the rare occasions that I taste, I invariable mess up the ingredient that I tasted. For example, I might place a little quantity (enough to lick) on my palm, wait/ blow for it to cool down, taste and adjust for salt. Later when eating the meal, I discover that I have added too much salt.Any tips?If it matters - this is South Indian style vegetarian cooking - lentils, vegetables.
[EX A]: Tasting food while cooking

[EX Q]: I am smoking baby back ribs using an electric vertical smoker.Given that most food absorbs smoke for an hour or two before saturating, what will happen if I stop adding wood chips after about two hours? Will I get the same result as if I continued to add wood chips, given that the ribs are unlikely to absorb appreciable amounts of additional smoke? In other words, does the smoke serve a useful purpose once the meat is saturated with smoke flavor?Note that I am not asking about changing the cooking method (e.g. transferring to an oven or grill) or temperature, nor am I asking about meat other than ribs. All I am curious about is if I stop adding wood chips after two hours in the smoker, but continuing to smoke for the full duration.I have been smoking ribs (and other meat) for years, but I have always added smoke chips up until an hour before finishing. I am curious if I am literally burning money by wasting wood chips.Related question: How much time do I need to achieve a smokey flavor in bbq? Please note that this question is different because I am specifically not switching cooking methods, nor am I asking when smoking is more effective.
[EX A]:
Smoking without wood chips
