CONTEXT: Don't RinseYou should not need to do more than shake the excess marinade from your chicken, or if you want to be very thorough, pat it down with towels lightly.If you rinsed, you would be washing away from of the flavor developed by your marinade, and the seasoning at the surface of the chicken.Cook onThe goal is to not put the chicken on the grill with so much left over marinade that it fails to cook through and dry. By the time you are done grilling, the chicken should be essentially dry at the surface with nothing left to curdle.The other goal of the grilling (or putting in the tandoor, I imagine, if you have one) is to develop the nice browned and delicious flavors, and that won't happen if there is still liquid yogurt on the surface.Type of yogurtThe particular type of yogurt you use should not be a factor, since it should be fully cooked in the grilling phase.However, in general, very high fat dairly products (like cream, or a yogurt made from full cream).  <sep>  Q: Should I rinse meat after marinating in yogurt? A: Don't RinseYou should not need to do more than shake the excess marinade from your chicken, or if you want to be very thorough, pat it down with towels lightly  Q: How do I keep the yogurt from curdling and giving the sauce a gritty look? A: The goal is to not put the chicken on the grill with so much left over marinade that it fails to cook through and dry  Q: Is there any particular type of yogurt that is better for marinades? A: The particular type of yogurt you use should not be a factor, since it should be fully cooked in the grilling phase  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What about the temperature of the grill or pan?
Output: The other goal of the grilling (or putting in the tandoor, I imagine, if you have one) is to develop the nice browned and delicious flavors
CONTEXT: A pizza stone in a normal oven will only get the maximum temperature of the oven (probably not more than 280 ÂºC / 530 ÂºF).A specific pizza oven will gett hotter (the one you linked gets 390 ÂºC / 735 ÂºF and, indeed has a stone inside).If you want to get Italian style pizzas, go for the pizza oven. They need that high temperature in order to be ready in (ideally) 90 seconds. Those Ferrari ovens are one of Italian's favourite ones, albeit they'll need a bit more time than 1.5 minutes achievable in wood fired traditional pizza ovens. You (probably) won't be able to achieve those high temperatures with a normal home kitchen oven, unless you have a pyrolytic home oven, and hack it in order to cook in it during the pyrolysis cycle.As for the waiting time between pizzas using a stone, consider it as a capacitor (or a rechargeable battery): It takes heat (until is soaked up), and then gives it back. Once you make 1 pizza (or a loaf of bread), it needs to soak (a bit) again.  <sep>  Q: Differences between the oven stone and the pizza oven? A: A pizza stone in a normal oven will only get the maximum temperature of the oven  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Which tastes better?
Output: If you want to get Italian style pizzas, go for the pizza oven
CONTEXT: If the yolk is settling to one side (typically the wide, bottom end) try placing the carton on its side in the fridge the day before you use them. This will move the yolk back towards the centre.Also, ensure your eggs are cold before and start them in boiling water. This will allow the whites to set much quicker than the yolks, preventing the yolks from migrating while they cook. Cook in a covered saucepan with about 1/2 inch of water for about 6 1/2 minutes. As you have been doing, immediately cool in an ice bath or under cold running water.Finally, depending on your location, equipment, and how set you want your eggs, you may have to adjust your cooking time. Try taking the eggs out 30 seconds apart and see what provides the best time for the results you want (a digital timer will help here), then stick with that in the future.  <sep>  Q: What am I doing wrong soft boiling my eggs? The egg is cooking too long as it is heating up as the water comes to a boil. Let the water come to a soft boil, remove the pot from the heat and then add the egg and wait 6 minutes. ###Should you stir eggs as they boil? A: Also, ensure your eggs are cold before and start them in boiling water  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: is six minutes long enough to soft boil an egg?
Output: Cook in a covered saucepan with about 1/2 inch of water for about 6 1/2 minutes
CONTEXT: Lime juice isn't going to make it less spicy, if anything I've found it accentuates the spiciness a bit although I'm not sure of the mechanism. It could be that the acidity frees up more capsaicin compounds (what makes hot food hot), or wakes up your taste buds more. Most likely you have simply added a weak jalapeno. Peppers of the same variety can vary in heat strength quite a bit depending on the where and how it was grown, although you'll get weak and strong peppers from the same plant. You can make up for the lack of spice by adding more jalapeno or a bit of hot chili powder.  <sep>  Q: Does lime juice make jalapeÃ±os less spicy? A: Lime juice isn't going to make it less spicy, if anything I've found it accentuates the spiciness  Q: Why would my guacamole be less spicy after I add lime juice, then? A: Most likely you have simply added a weak jalapeno  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a way to ensure the guacamole is spicy without adding too many jalapenos?
Output: You can make up for the lack of spice by adding more jalapeno or a bit of hot chili powder
CONTEXT: Use part of the shell you just cracked to scoop it up; it will attract the broken bit.Also, if you frequently end up with bits of shell in your eggs, you should revise your cracking technique. Eggs should be cracked on a flat surface (countertop or plate) not a sharper surface like the edge of a bowl.  <sep>  Q: I was wondering how to remove bits of egg shell from a cracked egg? A: Use part of the shell you just cracked to scoop it up; it will attract the broken bit  Q: Is there anyway I could do to prevent these egg shells from getting in the egg in the first place? A: if you frequently end up with bits of shell in your eggs, you should revise your cracking technique  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Well how should I crack them then?
Output: Eggs should be cracked on a flat surface (countertop or plate) not a sharper surface like the edge of a bowl.
CONTEXT: I am afraid that gloves make things worse. Even with proper training, people who wear gloves seem to be more complacent that those who do not wear gloves. I have seen people handle dollar bills then turn around and touch my food with the same gloves on. Disgusting, and I refuse the food, and when I tell them why, they say the gloves are to protect me...what the F ever. Then I ask them how that glove protects meFromThe germs on those dollars you just touched?I find its better to enforce good hand washing habits than it is to allow gloves to be used at all. When you are wearing gloves, you don't even wipe your hand on a towel, without gloves your hands kinda start to tell you they need to be washed if you've been lax.  <sep>  Q: Why use gloves when handling food? A: I am afraid that gloves make things worse. Even with proper training, people who wear gloves seem to be more complacent that those who do not wear gloves  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does it have anything to do with sanitation?
Output: Disgusting, and I refuse the food, and when I tell them why, they say the gloves are to protect me...what the F ever
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: When I'm cooking, should I heat the pot first or is it okay to heat it up with food already in it?

CONTEXT: Anything susceptible to moisture will go stale if exposed to air long enough. Storage will only get you so far, depending on the temperature and humidity in the storage area. In a restaurant kitchen, I don't have to tell you that both are rather high.I'd suggest blanching them after cutting. You could basically cook them through then store them in a relatively air-tight container for a period of several days. When a customer orders chips you'd just drop the blanched chips in the deep fryer long enough to brown and crisp them. This is what essentially every restaurant outfit that serves chips and/or french fries does and it works well. Experiment with blanching temperatures and liquids to see what works best.  <sep>  Q: I was wondering what the best way to store my homemade potato chips? A: I'd suggest blanching them after cutting.

Output: Anything susceptible to moisture will go stale if exposed to air long enough
CONTEXT: I haven't seen your recipe, but from looking at others, steamed pudding takes on the order of a couple hours of steaming. Doing it in the oven won't be any faster or less boring than steaming it - it may even be slower, since heat transfer from steam is pretty efficient. 45 minutes at 120Â°C would probably leave it undercooked, and if you cook at a higher temperature, you'll be missing the point - steaming for a long time lets it cook slowly and more evenly. You could work out how to cook it hotter and faster, but it wouldn't be a steamed pudding anymore, it'd be a "normal" pudding.If you want to do it in the oven, you should use a water bath to keep it from getting too hot - put the vessel with the pudding into a larger vessel, and add water to come most of the way up the sides of the pudding. Then you can increase the temperature of the oven, perhaps to 150-175Â°C, without overheating the pudding. But I doubt you'll be able to get the cooking time very much less than the original cooking time with steam without significantly changing the results.Finally (thanks Elendil), steaming helps keep the pudding moist, and an oven even with a water bath is not a terribly humid environment, so it might still be drier than desired. Covering tightly, and possibly adding a tiny bit more liquid, might help with that.  <sep>  Q: Is it okay to bake caramel pudding rather than steaming it? A: steaming helps keep the pudding moist, and an oven even with a water bath is not a terribly humid  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What if i put a pan of water in the oven?
Output: adding a tiny bit more liquid, might help with that
CONTEXT: Honestly, all three of those will crisp up very quickly, and just about any ratio will produce a crispy end product. The blend may be for textural reasons; potato starch is typically very fine and produces a tempura-like shell, while rice flour can have little bits of individual rice grains which produces a "chunkier" texture.I probably wouldn't try to use pure starch as it will brown and burn very easily, but you probably don't even need all three ingredients. Personally, I'd start with a 50/50 blend of potato starch and rice flour and adjust from there. You could use tapioca starch instead of potato if it's easier for you to find locally, but definitely keep rice flour in the mix.  <sep>  Q: what flour Blend should I use for Seoul Chicken? A: just about any ratio will produce a crispy end product  Q: The chef in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD97u0OUbBo uses a blend of tapioca starch, potato starch, and rice flour for his dredge. A: potato starch is typically very fine and produces a tempura-like shell  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Any ideas what ratio would be optimal for getting a crispy wing?

CONTEXT: Personally I'd suggest blanching your pasta. By blanching:I mean get a big pan of heavily salted water on a rolling boil. Drop your pasta into the water, give it a stir.After 1 min or when the water has come back to boil drain the pasta off.At this point your pasta will still be el' dante but not raw which is what I suspect the directions are suggesting when they say "2 min less than instructed" then just use it at the mixing with sour cream step.If you were to just use the pasta freshly made it will likely not have the texture desired. Boiling it will help moisten it up and start to cook the flour.  <sep>  Q: Is using homemade pasta instead of dried in a bake recommended? A: it will likely not have the texture desired  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will the noodles be too soft?
Output: your pasta will still be el' dante but not raw
CONTEXT: By "Italian Sausage" I think you mean the seasoned pork sausage available in many supermarkets throughout the US. I've found that a 30-70 mix of beef and turkey/chicken works reasonably well as a substitute when pork is not available. Beef is too strong a flavor and turkey too weak in its own. Flavor-wise most italian sausage has red wine, fennel, and oregano.  <sep>  Q: What is a non-pork substitute for Italian sausage? A: By "Italian Sausage" I think you mean the seasoned pork sausage available in many supermarkets throughout the US  Q: We don't have genuine pork Italian sausage in Israel so what else can I use? A: I've found that a 30-70 mix of beef and turkey/chicken works reasonably well as a substitute when pork is not available  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What seasonings should I add to that?
Output: Beef is too strong a flavor and turkey too weak in its own
CONTEXT: I can only guess that something from the herbs has "disturbed the balance of the mix" and is preventing it from setting.Putting my chemist's hat on, the problem is similar to what happens when a solid reaction product forms an emulsion and refuses to precipitate. When that happens, there are ways to induce precipitation, but not all of them can be applied to food.Try adding a pinch of salt - mix, and wait.If that fails, smear a knife blade with some fresh butter and stir the mix with it.If that fails, try cooling it.If that fails, try mixing in a pinch of bicarbonate of soda.There are other suggestions, but I assume you want to eat the butter once it solidifies. Ideally, you want to find that happening after one suggestion has worked. If it takes a succession of suggestions to find a way to solidify it, this is about as far as you can go without the product starting to "lose its intention".  <sep>  Q: Why didn't my clarified herb butter solidify? A: I can only guess that something from the herbs has "disturbed the balance of the mix" and is preventing it from setting  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What are the reasons that clarified butter won't set?

CONTEXT: I've struggled with this issue as well because I live in a moist climate and instant espresso powder cakes up on me between uses.Generally recipes which use instant espresso power are trying to add a kick of bitter and roasted flavors to deepen chocolate flavors and make them richer. You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness. Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors -- and caffeine -- to the cookie or cake than you want. Also, instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid.There's no real way to substitute liquid coffee in most recipes, such as chocolate cookie or brownie recipes, because the recipe has no water in it in the first place. In the rare recipes where there is water, you could substitute strong-brewed coffee for an equal quantity of water+espresso powder, and this would likely work fairly well.So, summing up: there's no really good substitute for instant espresso powder in recipes which call for it that I've found with some significant experimentation. Hopefully someone else has had better ideas than me.  <sep>  Q: I love instant espresso but would like know if there are any instant espresso powder substitutions? A: You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness  Q: How would the taste be affected overall? A: Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors  Q: Do I use the coffee the same way as the espresso powder? A: instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can I use the coffee as a substitute in recipes that require espresso powder?
Output: there's no really good substitute for instant espresso powder in recipes which call for it that I've found with some significant experimentation
CONTEXT: This should be no problem. It is basically the same process as making a vinaigrette, only using water instead of vinegar, and lecithin instead of mustard. Here's how I would go about it. Let's say you have 1 cup of oil to emulsify. Go buy soy lecithin at a health food store. Take 1/2 cup of water, and dissolve 1 teaspoon of the soy lecithin in it. Use a blender or immersion blender. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the cod liver oil. It will emulsify - the oil will disperse into ultra-fine droplets in the water, and presumably the taste will be both diluted and somewhat hidden by being locked up in little droplets. If this doesn't work, you just need more lecithin, so dissolve a bit more in another 1/4 cup of water and drizzle the whole thing back in to the blender.Naturally you'll want to take 50% more, since the oil is now only 2/3 of the volume.Those other ingredients are for flavor and anti-oxidation, not needed for the basic thing you are trying to accomplish.  <sep>  Q: How can I emulsify cod liver oil, or otherwise mask its taste? A: It is basically the same process as making a vinaigrette, only using water instead of vinegar, and lecithin instead of mustard  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a way for me to make a similar product at home from raw cod liver oil?

CONTEXT: What I've done in the past is mist some water on both sides of the bread slices, then put them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (alternatively, an oven set at 300F/150C for 5-10 minutes will do it too).Experiment with the amount of water (but keep it low) and cooking times. You should get much softer (and warm) bread slices out of it.  <sep>  Q: I want to try eating more whole grain bread but it is often to hard. Is there any way to make this softer? A: What I've done in the past is mist some water on both sides of the bread slices, then put them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there any other option than the microwave?
Output: an oven set at 300F/150C for 5-10 minutes will do it too
CONTEXT: I have only seen it used in dahl dishes, presumably because of it's claimed digestive properties. Asafoetida is incredibly pungent; anything more than a pinch seems too much and unpleasant.I think of it as a flavour-enhancer, a natural, Indian MSG rather than a spice in the normal sense. It makes your mouth water quite intensely and seems to stimulate the savory tatse buds (umami). This is lovely when done subtley and kept in the background.Therefore, I suspect you could add small pinches to all kinds of savoury food.  <sep>  Q: In which kind of food items can Asafoetida be used?

CONTEXT: There are good quality vegan margarines (Earth balance, Alsan) on the market nowadays, often they are of the interesterified instead of the hydrogenated variety. They are designed to behave and taste similar to butter instead of (as many cheap margarines seem to do) staying spreadable at temperatures where butter would be very firm. Unlike pure coconut or palm oil, they do not act very brittle when cold, and also they soften gradually instead of suddenly melting like eutectic solder. These should be on the top of the list of things to try...Also, some recipes recommend using more than one type of fat in pastry, for more interesting texture (eg such margarine, and smaller flakes of a hardened coconut fat).  <sep>  Q: Are there any butter alternatives for baking pastry? A: There are good quality vegan margarines (Earth balance, Alsan) on the market nowadays, often they are of the interesterified instead of the hydrogenated variety  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would that give the dough the same consistency as when I use butter?

CONTEXT: Back meat on poultry tends to be rubbery, inaccessible, and there is relatively little of it. The meat is almost like other dark meat but is found only in thin sheets. Also since, during tradition roasting the back meat is down in the pan, it tends to be less cooked than is pleasant for dark meat.It isn't practical to try and carve it because it is a ton of effort for just a little bit of not-very-good meat. After carving off the major cuts I will use my hands to pull off any useful scraps- including some of the larger pieces of back meat. I save these pieces for my standard poultry scraps applications: pie, soup, and enchiladas.Whatever is left gives up it's goodness into the broth when the carcass is boiled and is then fed, with the spent carcass, back to the chickens.  <sep>  Q: Why do instructions for carving a chicken disregard the back? A: Back meat on poultry tends to be rubbery, inaccessible, and there is relatively little of it. The meat is almost like other dark meat but is found only in thin sheets  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Keep it for myself?

CONTEXT: Are you absolutely certain that the "grittiness" is caused by the cheese not melting, and not because the sauce is curdling? If you cook it too long or too fast, that is what will happen.If you must use the Kraft stuff (personally, I think it has no flavour compared to real Reggiano), try melting the cheese on low heat in a very small amount of cream first, before you add it to the main sauce pan.

CONTEXT: Traditionally, mozzarella is sold extremely fresh - as in made that day or the day before. If it's held for more than a day or so, it comes packaged in a brine. Most of the American stuff is just too soft to be held for packaging like other shredded cheese in the mega-mart.In the US, being extreme gluttons for convenience, we tend to make do with part-skim shredded mozzarella instead of the good stuff. Slight temperature variations can make the shreds stick together in a globby mass. It's harmless from a safety point of view, and the expiry date can be long after the occurrence of perfectly safe globbiness.Pro-Tip: Put the globby pieces in the freezer for 20 minutes, and then shred it like a block of harder cheese. Upon heating, it will melt (almost) as if the the globbiness had never happened. I have taken advantage of a few good sales that way. Mozzarella will become... ehem... colorful before it becomes unsafe. While this answer is more for mozzerella than for other types of cheese; the last paragraph works for any mega-mart shredded cheese.  <sep>  Q: Why would unopened shredded cheese get soggy in the fridge? A: Slight temperature variations can make the shreds stick together in a globby mass  Q: Is this normal?

CONTEXT: In my experience, the most likely impact of a gentle boil vs. a furious rolling boil is going to be on texture of starchy foods, such as potatoes or other root vegetables, rather than flavor.I've found that a gentle simmer of potatoes will result in a mostly intact shape and consistent texture, whereas an aggressive boil without perfect timing can result in the outer layers of the potato breaking apart, sometimes before the center has time to cook fully.I've seen similar issues with stuffed parcels of pasta like ravioli or boiled won tons. I've also found that open pot egg poached eggs have much nicer results with a gentle simmer than an aggressive boil, perhaps for related reasons.Since part of how we experience taste is texture, you could say that the "taste" is affected.  <sep>  Q: Can food be boiled "extra fast/hard" in water?

CONTEXT: The reason it tastes sweet is the presence of sugar, ie because it is sweet. Cinnamon is thin tree bark, and it is not uncommon for tree bark, or the layer near the bark to be sweet because of sap. Birch is another example of a tree that is sweet, you can suck on a peeled birch branch for the same reasons as stated in your question.  <sep>  Q: Why do cinnamon sticks taste sweet?

CONTEXT: You need to ferment in a cool place, so you can only ferment pickles in the monsoon season when temperatures are down, or inside a house with A.C.Vegetables turn soft if it's too hot. Taste and feel is important here. Soft vegetables are the biggest problem if it's too hot. On the 3rd day it is good to place in the fridge to slow the fermenting, if you can. Crocks may be wrapped in burlap, palm dry, & kept wet in a cool shade place with breeze. Cloudy days are a big help. Place a plate on top of crock to keep insects dirt out. So it can be done with care. I'm in the South Phillipines, and it seems to work on the shady side of the house under the second floor A.C., where dripwater hits a wrapped crock, along with the breeze in the monsoon season.  <sep>  Q: Hi there, I've got a question about pickles A: You need to ferment  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I'm living in a tropical region, and I've heard that warm temperatures are not conducive to pickling, is there a way I can still ferment pickles in the heat?

CONTEXT: Grana padano and pecorino romano are two other very savory, hard grating cheeses that work well on pasta. They taste a bit different than Parmigiano-Reggiano, but are quite good in their own right and often less expensive. You can also look at parmesan type cheeses that are not actually Parmigiano-Reggiano. For example, Whole Foods often has one from Argentina that offers a reasonable price/performance tradeoff. All of that said, in many people's opinion, nothing is really quite as delicious as true Parmigiano-Reggiano.  <sep>  Q: What is a cheaper alternative to Parmesan cheese? A: adano  Q: Anything pasta related A: Grana padano and pecorino romano are two other very savory, hard grating cheeses that work well on pasta  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: The parmesan cheese in pasta recipe is quite expensive.....do we have cheaper alternative??

CONTEXT: After creating a new batch using the same process as my first one, but with a different, non-Greek, starter yogurt (which uses a different set and balance of bacteria than the starter I used for my first batch), I found that the texture was the same as my starter yogurt and was without the pithy texture. Therefore, it seems that it is, in fact, the difference in fermentation, which depends on the types of bacteria cultures in a given yogurt that determine the texture of Greek vs non-Greek yogurt.  <sep>  Q: What causes the texture difference between Greek style yogurt and regular yogurt? A: it seems that it is, in fact, the difference in fermentation, which depends on the types of bacteria cultures in a given yogurt that determine the texture of Greek vs non-Greek yogurt  Q: Can you tell me more?

CONTEXT: As someone who uses liquid nitrogen as part of their daily routine (in a lab) and who has made liquid nitrogen ice cream on several occasions, my advice would be to not use a plastic container to hold liquid nitrogen unless it's designed to. Yes, the plastic vessel may become brittle and may fracture. I have seen some materials shatter with extreme violence when frozen with liquid nitrogen; do not attempt this. Vessels for handling cryogenic liquids are designed especially for the job, and made from materials such as stainless steel, styrofoam, teflon, HDPE or silvered borosilicate glass. Unless you know with certainty that your container is designed to withstand temperatures of -196 Â°C (-321 Â°F), do not attempt this procedure.  <sep>  Q: Can you use liquid nitrogen in a food processor?###Will this break the container since it isn't made of steel? A: As someone who uses liquid nitrogen as part of their daily routine (in a lab) and who has made liquid nitrogen ice cream on several occasions  Q: Will using liquid nitrogen in the container harm the food?###Do you know if anyone has tried it? A: the plastic vessel may become brittle and may fracture. I have seen some materials shatter with extreme violence when frozen with liquid nitrogen; do not attempt this  Q: What kind of container would you recommend for this process? A: Vessels for handling cryogenic liquids are designed especially for the job, and made from materials such as stainless steel, styrofoam, teflon, HDPE or silvered borosilicate glass  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Which type of container will retain the temperature of the food better?

CONTEXT: The answer depends on where you live, and what type you have brought.In many countries that import chickpeas they heat treat them to kill seed-borne diseases and insects. The heat treatment process makes them more difficult to cook, and soaking times double or triple.Beans from exporters with phytosanitary certificates can be imported without heat treatment; these are the ones you want to get.I don't think you can tell which is which by looking at them. At the moment we have some particularly dark, dry, and dead looking beans that soak up beautifully in 8 hours!Soak non-heat treated beans for 8 to 12 hours, heat treated beans for 24 to 36 hours. Some overly heat treated beans will never fully revive, and you are best to return these to the shop as "faulty".Soak and cook without salt, unless you are going to mash them. They fall apart more readily if salted.If you are not mashing them, the secret to great chickpea taste is after soaking and cooking in water, is to lightly fry them with a little olive oil until dark spot appear, keep them or the pan moving so none burn. Then add the sauce, or add them to whatever dish you are preparing.  <sep>  Q: How should I prepare dried chickpeas?###I've never used dried chickpeas before, but I'm not wanting for chickpea recipes. The bag of dried chickpeas I got contains no instructions for cooking. I know that I need to soak them in water for a period X and then cook them for a period Y. A: The answer depends on where you live, and what type you have brought  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: how long should I soak them before cooking?

CONTEXT: To clarify: forced-air (a/k/a "convection", a/k/a "fan bake") ovens rely on a fan to circulate the air in the oven. The fast-moving air substantially enhances the rate at which heat is transferred to the food. It is particularly good where you want the surface to brown, such as roasts and breads; it is not as good for more delicate items, such as custards and cakes, which can set too quickly or get dried out. For cookies, it depends on what effect you want, but many standard types do well in forced-air ovens because the fan helps ensure that the whole oven stays at a uniform temperature despite the presence of several trays. (Of course, the tray closest to the heating element will still cook faster than the one farthest away, so you will still have to swap them partway through.)The general rule for using the fan is to set the oven temperature 25 degrees F (15 C) lower than what the recipe calls for using in a regular oven. Even then, don't go strictly by cooking time, as ovens vary; rather, be sure to check on your food regularly to see how fast it is cooking. You may need to cover your food to prevent over-browning, or perhaps adjust the oven temperature.  <sep>  Q: When to use convection/fan bake vs bake###Are there any general rules to follow when choosing between bake and fan bake to cook something in the oven?

CONTEXT: Short answer: no, there's no standard scale.First of all, I'm pretty sure it's common enough for stoves of varying power to use the same range of numbers. I see an awful lot of stoves that go up to 10 in the US, and I'm quite confident they're not all the same.Second, the real property of a stove is its power output, not its temperature. You can clearly see this if you go look at gas stoves - they're described in units of power (BTUs in the US, hooray). The temperature resulting from a given power will depend greatly on what you're cooking. A burner with nothing on it will have a much higher temperature than one with a heavy pot of boiling water on it. To a lesser degree, the temperature will also depend on the environment - a cooler room with some air circulation will keep the burner a bit cooler than a warm room with still air.So, if you really want to know what you're getting, you have to look up the power output of the stove - or failing that, maybe try to measure it yourself.  <sep>  Q: How hot are electric home stoves? A: the real property of a stove is its power output, not its temperature  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How do you set the temperature of the electric home stove?

CONTEXT: The professional (read: industrial) solution would be maltodextrin powder. It is rather tasteless, has good solubility in liquids, and doesn't change much texturewise. In homemade spice mixes, the popular filler solution are dried breadcrumbs of a very small size (like breadcrumbs for schnitzel breading). They are noticeable, because the mix gets gritty, but the consensus among those who do it is that this is a feature, not a bug. They could also slightly thicken a wet dish (soup, stew), but present no problem when strewn over dry food. You can also use a nut flour made of nuts without much of an own taste, like apricot kernels or low quality overdried almonds. Again, this will be somewhat gritty, but not as hard as the breadcrumn solution.  <sep>  Q: What would make a good, flavorless extender/filler for my spice mix? A: The professional (read: industrial) solution would be maltodextrin powder  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is maltodextrin powder known by any other names?

CONTEXT: I have been told that cedar, white and yellow pine, and many other variaties are safe in normal quantities and have high vitamin content. Some have supposed medicinal effect for headaches, such as cedar. My advice is to look up "tea" or "infusion" with each type of needle you want to try so you can avoid a poisonous concoction. As for white pine, I have made delicious tea for breakfast and for the canteen with it while camping and have survived so far. It goes quite well with wild mint.  <sep>  Q: What are the safety considerations in making pine needle tea?
