CONTEXT: If you want a similar texture and flavor, I recommend trying other similar root vegetables. I use turnips and parsnips in similar applications. They're both dense, white and have a slight sweetness to them and they should hold up relatively well to long cooking times.You might also enjoy yucca which can have a cooked texture similar to a cross between potato and banana. I've not tried them in this sort of application specifically but I think they should work.  <sep>  Q: what are some alternatives? to potatoes A: If you want a similar texture and flavor, I recommend trying other similar root vegetables  Q: What are the most recommended? A: I use turnips and parsnips in similar applications 
Output: How would you cook it?
CONTEXT: You are probably stirring the pudding too much. Cornstarch starts thickening at about 205Â°F/95Â°C. Once the pudding has got to that point and has thickened, stop stirring, otherwise you will interfere with the starch formation that causes the thickening. Using electric beaters probably means you are missing the point when the pudding has thickened and quickly beating the living daylights out of any starch formation that has occurred.It may also be the case that you are beating so much air into the pudding that it just doesn't get hot enough to activate the cornstarch in the first place. I would use @ecnerwal's suggestion of a double boiler, along with a balloon whisk, and some patience.  <sep>  Q: How can I make my pudding thicker?###How much corn starch do you recommend using? A: Cornstarch starts thickening at about 205Â°F/95Â°C 
Output: Okay, do you think that if I use an electric beater that would help?

CONTEXT: I'm using nonstick pans on my induction cooker without any issues. Also frying pancakes is fine.So, if something smells weird, it must be a particular issue with your pan, not a general induction-cooker-vs-nonstick-pan thing.375 F (190Â°C) should not be a problem for any decent cookware, regardless of the cooker the cookware is being used on. This holds true, regardless whether you're using Teflon, Ceramic or a stainless (uncoated) pan.  <sep>  Q: Is it safe / advisable to use a nonstick baking sheet on an induction cooktop for pancakes (375 F) A: I'm using nonstick pans on my induction cooker without any issues.

CONTEXT: As with all fish, just don't cook it any longer than necessary - all you need is long enough to get the temperature up (to 145F/63C), and anything past that is just overcooking. Boiling is a really fast cooking method, and simmering or poaching is not much slower. Note that this also means removing it from the water as soon as it's done, since the water is way above the necessary temperature and will easily overcook seafood even if it's removed from the stove.Tiny fish like you mention will probably be done in only a minute or two, similar to small. The best way to tell, though, is not to use a timer but to directly check the fish: it should be opaque and flaky. (For small fish, those aren't very big flakes, but you could still pull it apart or bend it and tell.)  <sep>  Q: How do I cook small fish in water without overcooking?

CONTEXT: Thank you to everyone for your great advice. I ended up using a combination of everyone's answers.I prepared the meatballs the night before and cooked them in the oven as per usual. I stored them overnight in the fridge in a large ice cream tub, rather than refrigerating the crock. (Thanks for that tip Joe and MargeGunderson.)In the morning, I combined everything in the crock pot and brought it to work. I started the crock pot on low at 8am. Everything was already cooked, so no need to worry there. The meatballs were heated through by noon. (Thanks everyone for the tip on starting early. Thanks nico for the assurance on "mush".)Now, time for lunch!  <sep>  Q: How long do meatballs in sauce need to be heated in a crock pot?###I'm participating in a pot luck lunch this week. I'm bringing fully cooked meatballs, served in pasta sauce. My plan is to make the meatballs (around 30 - 40) the night before, cook them fully in the oven, and refrigerate them overnight in the crock pot without the sauce. A: started the crock pot on low at 8am. Everything was already cooked, so no need to worry there. The meatballs were heated through by noon  Q: What kind of heat should I have the meatballs on? A: I started the crock pot on low 
Output: Should the meatballs and sauce be heated together?
CONTEXT: A medium saucepan would probably be in the 8-10 inch range.Your sugar isn't colouring because the heat isn't high enough or it's high enough but not long enough. Just keep cooking, the change will happen. You can try less water but if you're not familiar with working with sugar, better to err on the side of caution; I do work with caramels a lot, and when I know I'm liable to get distracted by other things I have on the go I purposefully use more water than needed to give myself breathing room. Are you using the correct size of dish as specified by the recipe? Some of the caramel will dissolve into the filling as you pour it in and as it cooks; I wouldn't worry about the thickness at this stage.Beyond that, I would personally stay far, far away from anything done by RR. I don't criticise cooks lightly, and I generally try to cook some of their recipes before I'll pass judgement. The recipes of hers that I have tried, both from 30 minute meals and the website, are uniformly awful. Poorly written, ingredient quantities are off, and generally they just taste nasty.  <sep>  Q: How do I brown the sugar for pumpkin flan? A: Just keep cooking, the change will happen.

CONTEXT: You could try using a different types of sugar with your soy sauce, perhaps palm sugar. This has that different flavor that your probably looking for. This is also the type of sugar that is commonly used when cooking in Southeast Asian foods, such as Indonesian food. Also the type of soy sauce you are using in the first place, You might want to try a Thai or Filipino style soy sauce, different flavor components. These are probably closer to the Indonesian taste, than say Japanese soy sauces. I find them sweeter and not as salty. Just as an aside, are you finding it difficult to find this sauce? Or do you just want to try making your own?  <sep>  Q: What is a good substitute for Kecap Manis A: You could try using a different types of sugar with your soy sauce, perhaps palm sugar 
Output: Would the Palm Sugar need to be dissolved before adding it to the soy sauce?
CONTEXT: 'Paella rice' is not actually a variety of rice, but a category suitable, as the its name suggests, for making paella. Some common varieties are: Bahia, Balilla, Bomba, Senia, and Calasparra; the particular variety should be indicated on the packet that you choose.These varieties differ from risotto rices, such as arborio and carnaroli, in not creating a creamy 'sauce' around the rice. Paella rice should stick together, but be distinct and not in a creamy 'sauce'.Arborio rice has a creamy, chewy texture due to its higher amylopectin (one of two components in its starch) content. Paella rice absorbs more liquid than risotto rices, however it too would become 'creamy' if you stirred it like a risotto, since it also has a high starch content.  <sep>  Q: What is the difference between risotto rice and paella rice?

CONTEXT: Parsley is both a flavoring herb and a decorative element for plating the finished dish. By adding it during the cooking, it imparts flavor to the shrimp. By adding it to the finished dish, it provides color and flavor. The cooked parsley will have a slightly different taste to it than the fresh parsley. This is how cooks layer the flavors in a dish.TB stands for Tablespoon.  <sep>  Q: Why in this one recipe parsley is used in 2 different ways?

CONTEXT: This is something that can happen during the manufacture of porcelain. It is due to iron particles in the clay used to make the porcelain, they get this look after being fired. It is part of the mug itself and cannot be removed. Customers don't like isolated black dots on white porcelain, so high end manufacturers only sell items without these dots. But if you bought something in the mid- or low-price range, or B-ware from the high end brands, these specks are common enough. It is only an optical defect, the mug itself is clean and you don't have to do anything more about it.  <sep>  Q: Black spots in porcelain coffee mug?

CONTEXT: Garlic flavors are soluble in oil, simply chopping up garlic and putting it in with the rice will not distribute the flavor well. I would recommend you chop the garlic finely and then infuse into a tablespoon of oil or butter by putting the pan on very low heat for a few minutes. Then add the rice and stir to coat the grains with the infused oil before adding water and cooking as normal. How much garlic to use depends on how strong your garlic is and how garlic-y you want it to taste. 5 tbsp of rice isn't much, for a medium garlic flavor using average strength garlic a whole small clove or half a large is probably enough. With the garlic I grow I'd add a few slices from a clove at most. Another option would be to cook the rice and then stir in the garlic infused oil afterwards, The benefits to this option are that you can drain the rice after cooking without all the flavor going down the drain.  <sep>  Q: What is the best way to infuse garlic flavor in the bland brown rice?

CONTEXT: This will also water down the flavour of the soup. Depending on the type of soup you are making you may have some cooking liquid left over which would be far preferable to plain water.In fact it's not a bad idea to start with a little more cooking liquid than necessary. Use a fine-mesh sieve to separate the soup ingredients from the cooking liquid. You can then re-introduce the cooking-liquid a bit at a time until you arrive at the right texture. That gives you a margin of error.Adding milk, cream or sour cream are also possibilities, again, depending on the soup.  <sep>  Q: Can I adjust soup texture right before serving?

CONTEXT: Your metal bowl sitting in your 70Â°F room is 70Â°F (at least, if its been sitting there for a bit). Your plastic bowl, or glass bowl, or ceramic bowl, or any other bowl sitting in the same room is also 70Â°F. They're all actually the same temperature.Now, given, when you touch the metal bowl, it feels cooler than the plastic one. This is because your finger isn't 70Â°F, and your body heat is transferred away quicker by metal than (say) plastic.If the dough is room temperature, it won't matterâheat isn't flowing out of it. The dough itself doesn't generate much heat. If your dough started above room temperature, it will cool a little quicker in a metal bowl. But, if you wanted to keep it from cooling, putting it in a warm place is much more effective.A stainless steel bowl is fine. I'd avoid aluminum (and copper, if anyone makes a mixer with such a thing) due to them being reactive, especially if you're making sourdough.  <sep>  Q: Can I let my bread dough rise in the mixer bowl? A: A stainless steel bowl is fine. I'd avoid aluminum (and copper, if anyone makes a mixer with such a thing) due to them being reactive, especially if you're making sourdough.  Q: Does the metal effect how fast the dough rises? A: If your dough started above room temperature, it will cool a little quicker in a metal bowl. But, if you wanted to keep it from cooling, putting it in a warm place is much more effective 
Output: How long should the dough rise ideally?
CONTEXT: It is hard to tell from the picture, but this doesn't look like burned off seasoning, it is more like a burned on residue. If that's the case, you can try cleaning it some way. The problem is that physical cleaning methods probably won't be sufficient, chemical cleaning with alkali will damage the seasoning and chemical cleaning with acid, if the seasoning is compromised, can rust the pan a bit. So there is a high chance you will end up reseasoning. If this really looks and feels like a buildup and not like exposed oxidised metal, my preference would be to soak in warm, not hot, acid. Vinegar or a citric acid solution should work well. Afterwards, try to scrub off with a stiff plastic brush. If it doesn't go away, or the seasoning goes away too, or if this was missing seasoning from the beginning, you have to strip and reseason. We have several questions on the topic, and the Internet is also full of suggestions. I personally prefer doing it with lye (best results, strips both old seasoning and rust), owners of self-cleaning ovens like incinerating it, and there are a list of other methods to work with.  <sep>  Q: How do I recover from overheating my cast-iron skillet?

I wouldn't recommend it. If you wanted to add raspberry flavor to a cheesecake, your best bet would be a raspberry pastry flavoring oil. If you didn't want to waste that liquid (and why would you,) just drizzle it on top of each slice as you serve it.  <sep>  Q: Can i substitute in frozen berries when my cheesecake recipe calls for fresh ones? A: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart  Q: What if I also wanted to add berry juice to add more berry flavor (and a nice color) would that work? A: I wouldn't recommend it. If you wanted to add raspberry flavor to a cheesecake, your best bet would be a raspberry pastry flavoring oil 
Output: What would be the best method to use in order to strain the frozen berries thoroughly?
CONTEXT: An oven is the way to go.Toasting on a frying pan is a pain because you have to stand there shaking it for so long and it is far to easy to scorch if you pause.I have seen some recipes call for low oven temps but I use 350F (175C) for 10 to 15 minutes stirring a few times. Some sources online recommend as low as 5 minutes but I personally have not ever had them done that quickly. They still have to be checked or they will burn.I like to use my toaster oven because it heats up faster and is cheaper to run.I have used an air popcorn popper with good results. Don't overfill it and remove them when they smell nutty. It goes very fast but you have to do them in batches if you have many.For a pie or other sweet applications, I like to toss the nuts in butter and brown sugar and let them candy in the oven. The fat makes it harder to burn them. Obviously this won't fit for all recipes.I personally have not had good results using the microwave. Some people swear by it but it seems to me to make them a little gummy.  <sep>  Q: What is the best way to toast pecans? A: An oven is the way to go  Q: How hot should the oven be? A: I have seen some recipes call for low oven temps but I use 350F 
Output: Do you have to toss them in oil?
CONTEXT: Rinse the salsify first before using, that will help.Use a sharp peeler. Ive found that dull peelers create a lot more sap.as soon as you have peeled it, drop the salsify into acidulated water ( water + lemon juice). The acids help prevent the color change that occurs. Also wipe up the area with a damp cloth as you work. This will keep things clean and prevent your hands and everything you touch getting tacky.  <sep>  Q: How to prepare salsify (schwarzwurzeln) to minimise sap? A: Rinse the salsify first before using, that will help.Use a sharp peeler. Ive found that dull peelers create a lot more sap 
Output: Do you know what the best peeler is to use?
CONTEXT: I've never juiced a pineapple, but I have done a watermelon and I've had some success with a food processor and a cheese cloth. I'd remove the core of the pineapple, because I don't think there's much juice in it. Remove the skin as well. Then run the pineapple through the food processor and pour all of the contents into a cheese cloth over a bowl. Squeeze all the juice you can out of whatever's in the cheese cloth. If you don't have a food processor, you can maybe use a cheese grater or potato masher instead.  <sep>  Q: What is the Best way to juice a pineapple? A: I'd remove the core of the pineapple, because I don't think there's much juice in it. Remove the skin as well  Q: What is the easiest way to remove the skin?###And is there a tool for removing the core? A: I've never juiced a pineapple, but I have done a watermelon and I've had some success with a food processor and a cheese cloth  Q: Should you cut the pineapple into chunks before trying to juice it, or just do the whole thing in one go? A: run the pineapple through the food processor and pour all of the contents into a cheese cloth over a bowl. Squeeze all the juice you can out of whatever's in the cheese cloth 
Output: How big of a food processor do you need for this?
CONTEXT: Using roux - flavoured with curry powder and aromatics - is a well known, often used technique for japanese and chinese style curries. Your mileage may vary with beurre manie (known to be finicky), if results are not satisfactory try cooking the powder/aromatics in oil/butter and only then adding flour and whisking (classic roux technique).Mind that indian and thai style curries use combinations of nut and seed pastes, coconut milk, yoghurt, cream, or just plain rich onion sauces/tomato stews to achieve thickness, sometimes helping things along with small amounts of cornstarch slurry - but rarely ever with roux and related techniques.  <sep>  Q: Can I add seasoning to the beurre manie? A: use combinations of nut and seed pastes, coconut milk, yoghurt, cream 
Output: Can I add curry to the mixture and then add it to the pan?
CONTEXT: Sure it's safe, there's no risk in putting jam in baked goods. It says refrigerate after opening so it doesn't spoil after being left out too long - some people don't realize it needs to be refrigerated after opening because it is stored in the cupboard before opening. The important thing for food safety is to make sure that the pastries are eaten soon enough after baking. The cream cheese will go off sooner than the jam will, so don't let them sit around.  <sep>  Q: Can Jam be reheated? A: Sure it's safe, there's no risk in putting jam in baked goods 
Output: Is there a heat limit?

CONTEXT: The great benefit of brining is that it opens the fibers of the meat and allows the water, and what is dissolved in the water, into the meat. I suggest you convince yourself of this by adding a fragrant herb such as rosemary to a chicken breast brine, and comparing it side-by-side with an unbrined breast. The difference, deep into the meat, will be noticeable. It is not large chunks of the herbs that find their way into the meat, but the oils and dissolved parts. That is why you heat and steep the water before cooling it for brining.  <sep>  Q: What brine ingredients are effective? A: I suggest you convince yourself of this by adding a fragrant herb such as rosemary to a chicken breast brine 
Output: how much salt should I use ?
CONTEXT: If the flour is self-rising flour, then it shouldn't be allowed to sit for too long. However, this wouldn't result in it being "impossible to pour" - it would just prevent the item(s) from rising properly when baked.If I had to guess, I would point to the chocolate as the culprit. If your batter/dough recipe uses melted chocolate (as opposed to just cocoa powder) then it is almost certainly going to solidify again as it cools. In which case, you can simply heat it again (gently - you don't want cook the eggs!) to loosen it up a little before pouring it.  <sep>  Q: Can you give me advice on making brownies? A: If the flour is self-rising flour, then it shouldn't be allowed to sit for too long 
Output: How long should the mix sit for?

Output: Can Chocolate & Margarine gently be heated together?
CONTEXT: Ripening of the avocado is slowed down greatly by refrigeration, so it is usually a good idea to let the avocado ripen fully at room temperature. Once it is ripe, it can be stored in the refrigerator for at least a week. This way, it is ready to use whenever you want it. Fortunately, there is a day or two when the avocado is ripe, but not too ripe, so if you check on it everyday when ripening, you will be able to save it at the correct ripeness without worrying about it too much.Putting an unripened avocado in the refrigerator may prevent it from ever ripening completely. Once cooled to near freezing (40F in most refrigerators), it seems that some avocados (maybe it depends on the type) don't ripen anymore, even when removed to room temperature.  <sep>  Q: Will avocado stay fresh longer if stored in the refrigerator? A: Ripening of the avocado is slowed down greatly by refrigeration 
Output: What is the ideal temperature to store avocado?

CONTEXT: If your chicken burns, the issue is likely not that you cooked it too long, but that you cooked it too hot. How long to cook it depends on the total amount of meat, the size of pieces that it is in (anything from bite sizes pieces for a stir fry up to an entire chicken), and how you're cooking it - oven, saute pan, braising ...Roasting in the oven or braising in a stew are generally the most ignorable techniques - if you overcook a roast it may dry out, but won't burn, and if you overcook a stew the meat (especially chicken) may dissolve into shreds but burning is less likely.Since undercooked chicken can be unsafe, you should choose cooking techniques that are sure to fully cook the chicken without burning it.  <sep>  Q: How long should I cook chicken for best results? A: How long to cook it depends on the total amount of meat, the size of pieces that it is in (anything from bite sizes pieces for a stir fry up to an entire chicken), and how you're cooking it  Q: Do you have any advice on cooking methods?

CONTEXT: The color of the yolk is based on the chicken's diet. I eat vegetarian fed eggs from the grocery store and they have deep yellow yolks. If I go back to buying standard white eggs its a bit disconcerting because they have very pale yolks.In the fall is when the eggs are the orangest for pasture raised eggs, again something about what is available to feed. The only way I can find these eggs is to get them from the farmers market or from a coworker who raises hens themselves.  <sep>  Q: Yellowness of egg yolk A: The color of the yolk is based on the chicken's diet 
Output: Does the colour have any effect on the flavor?
CONTEXT: You are better off making the crumpets in advance and then reheating them. The rising agent in crumpets is usually bicarbonate of soda or baking powder, and so the batter can't be 'held' in the fridge like a yeasted batter - it would be very dense if you left it too long.So, make the crumpets, then reheat them. I'd suggest using the toaster - this is how crumpets are sold and prepared in the UK. Make sure you have plenty of salted butter on hand too!  <sep>  Q: Can I make crumpet batter in advance? A: You are better off making the crumpets in advance and then reheating them
