CONTEXT: I recently found a different sauce that had a similar butterscotch note to it. It turned out this one was a very simple pan sauce built with brandy and beef stock as a deglazing liquid which was allowed to reduce by about 2/3 and then it was finished with a hint of cream.The fond came from a steak cooked in butter so there was probably a little browned butter in there as well.At this point I think the reduced brandy is a big contributor to the flavor I was identifying as butterscotch. This makes sense as brandy is generally somewhat sweet and usually has fairly strong caramel notes.  <sep>  Q: How do i develop a butterscotch flavor in a savory sauce? A: think the reduced brandy is a big contributor to the flavor I was identifying as butterscotch 
Output: Which other ingredients is needed in developing this flavor
CONTEXT: You can either bake them in something, and typically be fine (there are lots of cookie recipies out there that use them; search on the internet for 'biscotti ai pinoli'), or you can toast them ahead of time, and then encorporate them. (often, you toast them, then mix in, and bake).But a word of caution on toasting them -- they burn very easily. I've typically done it in a dry skillet, where I can keep an eye on them, and quickly get them off and to a try to cool. I seem to recall an interview with Alton Brown where he mentioned that toasting pine nuts was the number one ruined dish on Iron Chef America, because of chefs leaving them alone for too long.  <sep>  Q: can i bake pine nuts?###I was thinking of adding pine nuts to a caneloni filling, but wasn't too sure if the heat would make the nuts release anything nasty A: You can either bake them in something, and typically be fine  Q: good to know, can I do the same with other nuts? A: But a word of caution on toasting them -- they burn very easily. I've typically done it in a dry skillet, where I can keep an eye on them, and quickly get them off and to a try to cool  Q: how about other nuts?

CONTEXT: Foor food safety, the recommendation means that the coolest part of the meat should reach the target temperature. For something like a beef or pork roast, the coolest point will be generally in the very center of the roast. For chicken or turkey, it will often be where the leg joins the body. You may need to probe more than one more place to find the coolest reading.Now, because the meat surrounding that coolest point is at a higher temperature, the meat will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven. How much of an increase will depend on how big the roast is. In other words, a large roast will have a greater thermal mass â more meat towards the outside will be at a higher temperature, and the heat will transfer into the coolest point, raising its ultimate temperature.So, the practical answer to your question is that you need to anticipate when the target temperature will be attained. To err on the side of food safety, keep the meat in the oven until it reaches or is very close to the target temperature. With a little experience, you'll be able to gauge how much of a temperature increase occurs with various roasts, and remove it from the oven earlier.The bottom line however, is that the roast needs to ultimately reach the target temperature.  <sep>  Q: In what stage should the temperature of meat be taken? A: Foor food safety, the recommendation means that the coolest part of the meat should reach the target temperature 
Output: What is the target temperature?
CONTEXT: Well, if air is the only raising agent, simply add less of it by not beating the mixture as much. Failing that, beat as normal, then give the mixing bowl a couple of (careful) bangs on the counter top to knock the air out it again.A bit of experimentation will be necessary to get the right results, I think: perhaps pour some of the mixture into the tin as is, then knock the air out of the remaining mixture and compare the results.  <sep>  Q: How do I stop my brownies from rising?###I have been trying out brownie recipes baked in a muffin tin. I am using the muffin tin so that I can get all edges. (And I have been decorating the tops!) My brownies tend to rise, in my opinion, too much.###This rising is also not quite uniform for all the brownies. Some are flatter than others. The result tastes fine, but is not dense like other brownies. A: Well, if air is the only raising agent, simply add less of it by not beating the mixture as much  Q: Other than maybe air that I beat in, there are no rising agents. How do I stop the brownies rising to get denser brownies? A: Failing that, beat as normal, then give the mixing bowl a couple of (careful) bangs on the counter top to knock the air out it again  Q: How do I make sure I dont overdo it? A: A bit of experimentation will be necessary to get the right results  Q: Is there any other suggestion for me? A: I think: perhaps pour some of the mixture into the tin as is, then knock the air out of the remaining mixture and compare the results 
Output: That sounds helpful. Appreciate it###any other tips?
CONTEXT: All of these are natural colorants but also impart a bit of flavor with them.For the raspberry layer you could use a tiny amount of beet juice to really kick the red.For yellow colors you have a few options. Saffron can work really well though I'm not sure what mango/lime/saffron tastes like. Another organic single ingredient is Achiote, which has an extremely mild sweet flavor.

CONTEXT: There's no reason why you couldn't boil vegetables as you make the stock and then puree them in as a base. It's really about taste and the result you want. Making the stock without vegetables in it will give you a clear broth with a simple pork flavor and the vegetables will be distinct in it. If you add vegetables while cooking the stock and then puree them in your base will be much more vegetable-y, and opaque - the color will be determined by the vegetables added. The pork taste will be a bit more hidden by vegetable flavors. Spices and herbs are 2 separate matters. In general you can overcook herbs very easily but it's hard to overcook spices (although some spices can change during long cooking times). Adding bay (laurel) is one of the exceptions herb-wise. Spice-wise adding at the beginning will make the spice permeate the meat, careful not to overdo it though.Like I said it's all about the look and taste you want.  <sep>  Q: Should I add vegetables and spices in the stock-making stage of pig-knuckle soup? A: There's no reason why you couldn't boil vegetables as you make the stock and then puree them in as a base. It's really about taste and the result you want  Q: Do you think fresh vegetables would be better for soup? A: the vegetables will be distinct in it. If you add vegetables while cooking the stock and then puree them in your base will be much more vegetable-y

CONTEXT: Ok, first of all make sure you are getting French or Italian truffles, not Chinese or Oregon. Some people like the latter but they are quite a bit different. Black truffles do well cooked, while white truffles are usually only used shaved raw over a dish. When I use them, I like to use them in a situation where I will really be able to taste them. A few classic ideas are an omelette, risotto, or pasta with a cream sauce. Those all carry the flavor and aroma of truffles very well. Chop some of it very fine and put it in the dish and then slice the rest paper thin (with a mandoline if possible) over the finished food right before serving.  <sep>  Q: What should I look out for when cooking with truffles? A: Black truffles do well cooked, while white truffles are usually only used shaved raw over a dish 
Output: How should they be handled while cooking with them?

CONTEXT: Without seeing the recipe and procedure, it is hard to say if the seeds are necessary, there are many recipes for Seville orange marmalade that don't call for the seeds, and some that do. There is a good chance that they aren't essential to the recipe, that being said:There is pectin in the seeds of citrus, but there is no need to grind or chop them for it to be released. Tying them in a cheesecloth bag, that would be easy to remove after cooking, would be fine. (If the recipe uses added pectin, then the seeds shouldn't be needed at all.)  <sep>  Q: Are the citrus seeds necessary when making marmalade? A: Without seeing the recipe and procedure, it is hard to say if the seeds are necessary  Q: Are the seeds necessary when making marmalade to extract pectin?

Output: This recipe is with Seville oranges and low in sugar, what is the best way to keep the seeds separate?
CONTEXT: If it's cast iron, and you're really paranoid about it, just stick it in the oven, run a clean cycle, then re-season. Cast iron can withstand stupidly large amounts of heat: in traditional Chinese cookery, woks are cleaned by building a big fire, and throwing them in...When the fire burns out, you dig out your wok, re-season, and you're back in business.If it's stainless, just stick it in the dishwasher.  <sep>  Q: How can I clean my filthy cast-iron frying pan?

CONTEXT: No, it won't work. Michael's comment explains why. Whipping cream is not just fat and water mixed, it is fat and water emulsified. This is a big difference. If you had some special reason to do this on a regular basis, you could get it to work by adding emulsifiers. You can beat any fat with water and lecithine or xanthan and get a creamy result. As far as I know, this is how plant based cream substitutes work. But if the issue is that you just don't have whipping cream right now at home, then it is easier to go buy whipping cream than to go find emulsifiers (I buy mine online, don't know if there are brick-and-mortar B2C stores which sell them). If for some reason you absolutely can't do it in time, I would suggest using a different filling. Pastry cream works well with millefeulle, buttercream can work too, lightened with whipped eggwhites if necessary.  <sep>  Q: Could I add butter to single cream to make whipped/double cream? A: it won't work  Q: If I added butter to single cream and whipped it, would that add enough butterfat to it to make it suitable for whipping? A: Whipping cream is not just fat and water mixed, it is fat and water emulsified  Q: What is the best way to make whipping cream from cream? A: you could get it to work by adding emulsifiers  Q: What are good emulsifiers to add to single cream, if I want to make whipping cream? A: lecithine or xanthan 
Output: What are some sources of lecithine and xanthan?
CONTEXT: The easiest thing to do is to chop them up, and preserve them in an acidic solution that you allow to ferment a little. Then, just keep it in the fridge as long as you like. Additionally, the onions will become tastier, easier to digest and will have an improved nutritional profile.The acidic solution can be any mixture of water with salt, sugar, vinegar, spices, whey, yogurt, wine, beer, lemon juice, etc...The options are endless. This is called your brine and people have been using this method of preservation for millions of years.As far as storing fresh onions, your best bet is to keep them in the refrigerator's crisper drawer which helps keep vegetables fresher longer.  <sep>  Q: Do you have any advice for storing green onions? A: The easiest thing to do is to chop them up, and preserve them in an acidic solution that you allow to ferment a little. Then, just keep it in the fridge as long as you like 
Output: How long will they last in a chill chest?
CONTEXT: 'Air work' is an interesting term that I am not used to hearing, and I do a lot of it. The trick here is where will you be holding the knife as you work. A long thin blade will mean you are holding the blade as you work, which is not a problem, per se.Small bladed and hook beak knives are well suited for this, as you can comfortably hold the handle. I love hook beak knives for mushroom garnishing, coring, small veg peeling and trimming, etc...Small straight paring knives are the standard choice for this, if you don't like the hooked blade.  <sep>  Q: Paring knife selection for work in the air? A: Air work' is an interesting term that I am not used to hearing 
Output: What are buying recommendations for a knife that is primarily used without a cuting board?

CONTEXT: Scallions are very touchy. You don't want them to dry out, and yet you don't want them too wet or they will get slimy and disgusting.What works best for me is remove any binding holding them together (e.g. rubber band or twisty-tie), (and certainly trim off any parts of the scallions that are already damaged and/or slimy), don't wash until you are ready to use them, wrap the bunch of scallions loosely (but completely covered) in a paper towel, and then store that wrapped bundle in a flimsy plastic bag (maybe the one you brought them home from the supermarket in) in your refrigerator. Sounds "fussy" when you lay out all the steps like that, but really, it's not a whole lot of work. Removing the rubber band etc. prevents damage where it would cut into the veg. flesh, paper towel absorbs condensation & liquid water which will rot the scallions (paper towel will prob. become slightly damp after a while in the fridge, but this is OK), plastic bag prevents evaporation of moist air.I find this works well for lots of greens, esp. cilantro - the worst offender in the demanding vegetables category.P.S. If you aren't too squeamish, you can even remove the very outermost layer of a scallion which has begun to "slime-out", wash the remainder right before using - & it's fine!  <sep>  Q: How do I preserve scallions? A: Scallions are very touchy. You don't want them to dry out, and yet you don't want them too wet or they will get slimy and disgusting  Q: What is the best way to keep them fresh longer?

CONTEXT: The 30 minute cooking time is somewhat similar to my experience with mini-cheesecakes in a muffin tin, although I would recommend checking between 20 and 25 minutes with a toothpick. In my experience mini-cheesecakes were cooked until set entirely in the middle, but if your recipe is for an NY-style cheesecake that seems to wobble a bit, things might be different.  <sep>  Q: I usually use a 9" spring form pan for cheesecake. I want to now use muffin sized one. Do I have to change the cooking time? A: The 30 minute cooking time is somewhat similar to my experience with mini-cheesecakes in a muffin tin 
Output: Do I still use a water bath?
CONTEXT: The bundt pans come in 6 cups, 10 cups, 12 cups. I'd go with the middle size as most recipes call for a 10 cup pan. Non-stick is best, though I always give it a spray anyway. They are usually made of cast aluminum. I've had no problem with those. As a beginner, stick to a simpler pattern than one with a lot of nooks and crannies.  <sep>  Q: How do you choose a Bundt cake pan? A: Non-stick is best  Q: Are there different non stick materials? A: They are usually made of cast aluminum  Q: Do they come in different sizes? A: The bundt pans come in 6 cups, 10 cups, 12 cups  Q: Which is the most common?

CONTEXT: Presumably you are experiencing rancidity, due to oxygen.While you have nitrogen flushed the bags at filling time, the bags are not impervious to oxygen diffusion.A different type of bag (an "oxygen barrier" bag material) or package (glass jar, or metal can) and, in addition, (based on other packaging I have seen) oxygen absorbing packets inside the bag may be required for long shelf life. Either alone would probably extend the shelf-life somewhat.  <sep>  Q: Why do my cashews smell after 2-3 months?

CONTEXT: I'm an American cornbread lover living in the UK, so I have some experience with this. In the UK and commonwealth corn flour = US cornstarch, and in the UK corn meals are coarser then their US counterparts. Coarse polenta is like ball bearings, fine polenta is still too coarse for decent cornbread and fritters. You can get fine corn meal in the UK now, which is slightly finer than your average US cornmeal, but not as fine as US corn flour. So if I'm in the US using an American recipe that calls for fine corn meal I'd just use regular corn meal, if I'm in the US using a UK recipe and it calls for fine corn meal it would probably mean fine polenta, which is what you generally get in the US.  <sep>  Q: What is "fine ground cornmeal"? A: I'd just use regular corn meal, if I'm in the US  Q: What is the difference between "regular corn meal" in the US and other places? A: a UK recipe and it calls for fine corn meal it would probably mean fine polenta 
Output: What is fine corn meal in the US?
CONTEXT: One of the first things I learned in Indian cooking is that the combination of tomatoes, onions and ginger is self-thickening. As time went by, I realised that the thickening effect is far more noticable with old varieties of tomatoes - "beef" tomatoes and a lot of the modern varieties are difficult to thicken unless partially fried first.Despite the absence of ginger, I suspect that the thickening is purely a natural action between the tomatoes and the onion, and that the tomatoes used were some particularly nice old variety.  <sep>  Q: Why did my tomato soup turn thick and brownish? A: One of the first things I learned in Indian cooking is that the combination of tomatoes, onions and ginger is self-thickening  Q: The above combination with garlic, onions, spices can't be all wrong, can it? A: beef" tomatoes and a lot of the modern varieties are difficult to thicken unless partially fried first 
Output: Do tomatoes have to be skinned?
CONTEXT: When I am using skim powdered milk and want more fat, I just replace some of the water in the recipe with heavy cream.Your recipe doesn't have water, it already uses milk and cream. You could replace a little of the milk with cream to make up the difference.However, with all the cream and butter in that recipe, I doubt you would be able to notice the fat missing from the dry milk.

CONTEXT: Without forensics it's hard to tell exactly what happened.However, one possible explanation is sunlight. If the watermelon was in the sun at all, even just a little part of it, that tends to accelerate the growth of all sorts of things.Another possibility is that it was just past its date. There isn't really a way to tell if this is near or not without chemical analysis.In watermelon country (I live near an ancient greek watermelon port) watermelon is generally refrigerated. This is partially because we find it tastier when it's cold, and partially because room temperature easily goes above 30, and even above 34-5 on certain days.  <sep>  Q: Cause of watermelon rind rotting?

CONTEXT: To answer your main question, you can bake very just about any type of fish.Looking at that recipe though, down in the "tips" section, it suggests you use a flaky white fish. So in that category, you have lots of options, snapper, cod, tilapia, for starters. Their flavours are often a little more mild and will pair nicely with the tomatoes and other flavours in there.If you're prone to overcooking it, take it out sooner. I find many fish recipes that give cooking times tend to get you to overcook it. It'd done as soon as the fish "flakes" fully. Leave it any longer it will start to toughen quickly.  <sep>  Q: What type of fish is best suited for baking?

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: Why arent my peas dissolving for split pea soup? A: It takes more like 3 or 4 hours for the peas to dissolve 
Output: How high of a temperature should i be using?
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 
Output: So if I only simmered for one hour that's not long enough?
CONTEXT: Yes, you can entirely replace water with milk. The main thing to be aware of is how prone it is to boiling over. Milk will eagerly do that on its own, and starchy water will too, so the combination has to be cooked on very low heat to avoid making a huge mess. (I think this is why the original recipe starts with water: less time with potential for boiling over, and more stable temperature when you add the milk.) You'll also probably want to be more careful about stirring the first time; if the heat is a little higher than you realize, you will start accumulating a layer on the bottom of the pan.If you want them to cook faster and have less potential boiling over to worry about, you can always presoak in milk beforehand. I've done this overnight in the fridge, which was enough to let me make (admittedly slightly chewy) steel-cut oats in the microwave the next morning.  <sep>  Q: Steel Cut Oats: cooking in milk vs. water###Most of the recipes I've seen (including Good Eats) recommend simmering the oats in 4 cups of liquid for 1 cup of oats. Alton Brown recommends 3 cups of water for ~25 mins and then (1/2 cup of milk + 1/2 cup of buttermilk) for ~10 mins.###However, I would like to do away with water entirely (just curious). Could I just simmer 1 cup of oats in 4 cups of milk for ~40mins? A: you can entirely replace water with milk. The main thing to be aware of is how prone it is to boiling over. Milk will eagerly do that on its own  Q: is the first ~25mins of simmering in water designed to maximize water absorption? A: the combination has to be cooked on very low heat to avoid making a huge mess. (I think this is why the original recipe starts with water: less time with potential for boiling over  Q: Also, if anyone has cooked oats mostly in milk before, I'd like to hear their opinion as well###Thank you A: If you want them to cook faster and have less potential boiling over to worry about, you can always presoak in milk beforehand  Q: That sounds helpful. Thanks for the tip A: I've done this overnight in the fridge, which was enough to let me make (admittedly slightly chewy) steel-cut oats in the microwave the next morning 
Output: Okay. Anything else that I should know
CONTEXT: Definitely egg white seepage, by the looks of the shape of it you've either over whipped the egg whites OR let them sit for too long before cooking which meant they spilt slightly before going in the oven.Another possibility is the oven wasn't hot enough to begin with OR the environment (kitchen) was too warm. When ever I've cooked meringue I've had the oven on 180 for 10min then turned it off and left the meringue in undisturbed over night. Never had any issue's that way. The only time I've had seepage is when I've beaten my eggs then got disturbed by a check coming on and having to leave the whites for 5-10min before shaping and cooking...  <sep>  Q: What's this odd stuff coming out of my meringue? A: Definitely egg white seepage  Q: What would cause it? A: you've either over whipped the egg whites OR let them sit for too long before cooking which meant they spilt slightly before going in the oven  Q: but I also added some vanilla, probably a bit extra sugar, and baked them at 185 instead of 200 with the door open. A: When ever I've cooked meringue I've had the oven on 180 for 10min then turned it off and left the meringue in undisturbed over night 
Output: Do you have any other tips?
CONTEXT: A chinoise will not--I speak from daily experience--filter out vanilla seeds. A coffee filter would, but my question is: why on earth would you bother? It's annoying to do (and depending on what the product is, filtering through a coffee filter would ensure you lose other things), and seeing actual vanilla seeds in the final product tells your guests that you are using real vanilla beans, not extract.Professional kitchens do not, generally speaking, attempt to remove the seeds for the reasons noted above.@stephenmacdonald, most dessert recipes that call for a fine mesh strainer do so because there is the possibility of chunky things ending up in the product. In the case of that recipe, I would guess it is to prevent chunks of undissolved gelatine from ending up in the final dessert.  <sep>  Q: Can I filter out vanilla bean seeds? A: A chinoise will not--I speak from daily experience--filter out vanilla seeds. A coffee filter would, but my question is: why on earth would you bother  Q: When I use seeds I scrape out of vanilla beans in my desserts, it always leaves black specks. ###It doesn't seem to alter the taste, but it's not as pretty as professional works. A: seeing actual vanilla seeds in the final product tells your guests that you are using real vanilla beans, not extract  Q: That makes sense. I'd rather my panna cotta be pristine and white, though. A: Professional kitchens do not, generally speaking, attempt to remove the seeds for the reasons noted above 
Output: Oh, really? Do they use imitation extract? I don't recall seeing the bits of seeds in restaurant food.
CONTEXT: Both crispy and caramelized onions are cooked for a long time, and will be very brown. However, they are cooked slightly differently.Caramelized onions are usually cross-cut on the onion to release its moisture, and then cooked over very low heat in a crowded pan, stirring infrequently, so that they gradually release their sugars and liquid and it turns to caramel. Depending on the onions and desired result, you may even cover them, an add a little liquid and/or sugar. The end result is very soft and very sweet.Arabic-style crispy onions are cut pole-to-pole in order to avoid rupturing cells in the onions. They are then fried over medium heat in an uncrowded pan, stirring regularly. This lets them dry out and become brown and crispy, even burning on thin ends. These onions should be a mix of crispy and chewy, and more savory than sweet.  <sep>  Q: What is the difference between caramelized onions and "crispy onions"? A: Both crispy and caramelized onions are cooked for a long time, and will be very brown 
Output: Are crispy onions preferable to use for the dish Mujaddara?
