CONTEXT: I would think this is happening because your cream is just about to turn sour. As cream ages, lactic acid builds up in it. The acidity in your coffee is enough at that point to push the cream over the edge to curdling. Try newer cream or a very low-acid coffee with old cream and you should be OK.  <sep>  Q: Why is cream curdled in my coffee? A: I would think this is happening because your cream is just about to turn sour  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Could it have something to do with either the coffee being too hot?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I have seen this happening more than once. While I don't know the whole theory behind it, each time it happened, there was something just below the hole, let's call it "the lump". What I think happens is that the lump is too heavy. When the batter below it tries to rise, it doesn't have the strength to push up the lump. This could be combined with differences in heat transfer throughout the batter vs. on the batter-lump transition in preventing rising (I am certain they exist, but I don't know whether they have an effect at all). The result is a hole where the batter didn't rise, surrounded by nicely risen batter. As to where the lump comes from: you say "chocolate and pear cake". If you have pear pieces in the batter, right under the surface, they can do this. I have certainly seen it happen when the recipe includes fruit pieces in the batter. If there are no pear pieces, my second guess is badly dissolved flour. The directions for this type of cake normally include folding the whites very gently, and generally erring on the side of too little whisking. This could contribute to uneven batter texture, resulting in lumps. In the second case, the cake may have some less-than-pleasant pieces, but will still be mostly good. If it is fruit, the holes are purely a cosmetic problem. So not much harm done either way, unless you are shooting for a prize at a baking competition.  <sep>  Q: I baked a cake and it has holes in it why? A: each time it happened, there was something just below the hole, let's call it "the lump  Q: Was it because the batter was uneven? A: What I think happens is that the lump is too heavy  Q: Could it be uneven rising? A: When the batter below it tries to rise, it doesn't have the strength to push up the lump  Q: How could this be prevented? A: folding the whites very gently, and generally erring on the side of too little whisking  Q: Anything else? A: my second guess is badly dissolved flour  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should I bake it?
Output: No
CONTEXT: One of your possible answers is pretty close to what I think is the correct one. To flavor carnitas all the way through, put them back in the braising liquid that has been reduced since cooking the pork. You can create a kind of glaze out of the braising liquid, and toss the shredded pork in that (defat the braising liquid before reducing it).BTW, I never fry carnitas. I may throw them on a greased grill, but I never deep or shallow fry them.  <sep>  Q: How can I get my flavorings to flavor my carnitas all the way through the pork? A: To flavor carnitas all the way through, put them back in the braising liquid that has been reduced since cooking the pork  Q: and then what do i do ? A: You can create a kind of glaze out of the braising liquid, and toss the shredded pork in that (defat the braising liquid before reducing it  Q: are there any other tips for making sure all the flavors are in the pork meat ? A: I never fry carnitas. I may throw them on a greased grill, but I never deep or shallow fry them  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: why don't you shallow fry them ?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Propane and butane are pure alkanes. They don't produce anything nasty when burned. The worst you could possibly get should be carbon monoxide (and I am not even sure it can be produced in a torch, the dioxide ifs much more likely), but it being a gas, it won't stick to your food. The complex molecules you get from heating the food itself have more potential for being harmful than the combustion products of a propane butane torch. Ago yes, it is food safe. Another matter of safety is that it is easier to cause a fire with a hardware store torch, because it has more power than the kitchen ones. But a sensible adult should be able to handle the thing safely.  <sep>  Q: Is it safe to use a propane torch bought at a Hardware store? A: Propane and butane are pure alkanes. They don't produce anything nasty when burned  Q: What do they produce then? A: The worst you could possibly get should be carbon monoxide  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: So they are basically safe?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: There are a couple of things you can do to prevent sugar crystallising. You can add some glucose syrup, or you can 'invert' the sugar by adding some acid, namely cream of tartar. Both should be readily available, online if not at your supermarket. Cream of tartar is also useful when making meringue.  <sep>  Q: How can I prevent simple syrup from crystallizing? A: There are a couple of things you can do to prevent sugar crystallising. You can add some glucose syrup  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there something I can add that is a common pantry item?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Almost any normal sorbet recipe will contain a decent amount of sugar, and strawberries are no exception. I'd guess probably 1/2-2/3 cup per pound of strawberries. Use a substitute if you have an aversion - honey, agave, raw cane sugar, whatever you prefer. (Of course, anything liquid is going to contain some water, and cause a bit of ice, but it's still doable.) A sorbet without any extra sugar, even when frozen normally in an ice cream maker, is going to end up with a very icy texture, which will probably keep you from experiencing the flavor as much. The sugar helps soften it.The other common way to soften a sorbet is alcohol. RosÃ© wine (thank you, David Lebovitz) works quite well in a strawberry sorbet. Vodka can be your go-to liquor for any impromptu sorbet with other fruits, since it'll add alcohol without any flavors that clash. Beyond that, either look for recipes, or look for mixed drinks containing the fruit you're using.You might also be having problems simply because your strawberries aren't that great. Did you freeze them, or were they storebought? If you bought the strawberries yourself, you'd know they were decent before freezing, while not all storebought frozen fruit is as flavorful.Finally, it's possible that your frozen strawberries collected some extra water in the form of frost, which then makes your sorbet icier. If there are obvious big chunks you could scrape them off.  <sep>  Q: How can I improve flavor of Sorbet made in Magic Bullet?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Yes, nuts are very fatty, and they will eventually go rancidâ if this is the case, they will taste very poor. They can also dry out, or in more rare cases (especially if stored improperly) be infested with insects or molds.Generally, they should be good for six months to a year at their best flavor, depending on the variety (in the shell).Five years is a little long. I am not sure I would want to eat nuts that old.  <sep>  Q: Do nuts ever go bad? A: nuts are very fatty, and they will eventually go rancid  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: They are still edible right? The packaging says best if used by 2010. I tasted them and they taste alright, maybe a little tartish but I don't mind.
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: As long as they aren't spoiled they'll be fine for a crumble/crisp/cobbler. You'll want to have someone else taste them to make sure first. They may need less sugar and less or no precooking. If they are really, really mushy then you might want to add some firmer plums or other fruit to give some texture.  <sep>  Q: Are mushy plums OK to use in cooking? A: As long as they aren't spoiled they'll be fine for a crumble/crisp/cobbler  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would they still be okay for bottling?
Output: No
CONTEXT: If you are fermenting sauerkraut, then you should keep the salt content the same if you add other vegetables. The salt helps keeping undesirable bacteria in check, so you probably don't want to "dilute" it. Increase the amount of salt so the ratio between cabbage/vegetables and salt stays the same.TL;DR: Treat any additional vegetables like cabbage when calculating the amount of salt.  <sep>  Q: Should I add salt to my sauerkraut recipe if I add vegetables?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I make bacon and other cured meats frequently. I find that the amount of liquid released from pork belly varies. That is not a useful measure of how the cure is proceeding. Bacon, in particular, is usually cooked after the cure, so I don't worry too much. I use the salt-box method, coat the belly in cure mixture, place in large zip lock, place in container slightly larger than belly and put in fridge. Flip every day or so for a week. What I look for next is a firming up of the belly. I pinch it. If it has firmed up after a week, I move on to hot smoking (or you could use your oven). If it still feels soft, I give it another day or two.  <sep>  Q: how much juice should come out when curing pork belly for bacon? A: I make bacon and other cured meats frequently. I find that the amount of liquid released from pork belly varies  Q: How will i know if the pork belly is curing properly? A: That is not a useful measure of how the cure is proceeding. Bacon, in particular, is usually cooked after the cure, so I don't worry too much  Q: How much salt should i use? A: I use the salt-box method, coat the belly in cure mixture, place in large zip lock, place in container slightly larger than belly and put in fridge  Q: How long should i leave it in the fridge? A: Flip every day or so for a week. What I look for next is a firming up of the belly  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: thanks, any other suggestions or tips?

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  Q: How should they be handled while cooking with them? A: Chop some of it very fine and put it in the dish and then slice the rest paper thin  Q: Is there anything I need to avoid doind? A: make sure you are getting French or Italian truffles, not Chinese or Oregon  Q: What is the best way to prepare them? A: A few classic ideas are an omelette, risotto, or pasta with a cream sauce  Q: Like an Alfredo suace? A: Those all carry the flavor and aroma of truffles very well  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you recommend preparing meat with them as well?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Red lentils have no skin and are thus more absorbent. They literally sucked up the wee bit of water clinging to them along with their neighbors. Surface tension of the water couldn't be broken by the light-weight pulses. When crumbled apart, the brick doesn't feel pasty, no? Next time maybe pour lentils into water; either way, no harm to finished dish.  <sep>  Q: What made these red lentils 'brick' together? A: Red lentils have no skin and are thus more absorbent  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why do Red lentils stick to the pan easily?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I've never tried steaming bok choy, but yes, the ribs and leafy bits cook at different speeds.For stir frys I trim the bottom so the ribs come free, clean off any dirt that's gotten trapped in between, then stack up the leaves and cut the leaves from the ribs. I slice the ribs into about 5mm / 3/16" slices, and add them towards the end; the leaves I cut into ribbons (perpendicular to the ribs), and stir them in at the last second, so they barely cook. The center I just chop the top off the leafy bit, and slice the more rib-like bits a litte larger than the rest of the ribs (they're thinner, so cook faster).As I've never tried steaming it, and I don't tend to cook in bags (except for silver turtles when camping), this is going to be a complete guess. Now, it tastes fine al dente, so you could leave the ribs as large as I use for a stir fry, but en papillote tends to be fancier cooking, so I'd probably try for maybe 1/6" slices or a little thicker (maybe 2-3mm), and if you had a mandoline so they all came out even, that'd be great. I'd still cut the leaves into ribbons, just because it's easier to eat than a huge intact leaf.I'd assume that the leaves would cook at a similar rate as spinich, and the ribs closer to fennel, if that helps at all.  <sep>  Q: How should I prepare Bok Choy before I cook it? A: For stir frys I trim the bottom so the ribs come free, clean off any dirt that's gotten trapped in between, then stack up the leaves and cut the leaves from the ribs  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are the leaves usable?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: If you whisk egg whites to much they will definitely separate.Basically you are over tightening their stretchy proteins which squeeze out all the water. You are left with useless protein fluff floating on water.The flavor and odor will not change, however. That would be a sign off spoiling and unrelated to the whisking.  <sep>  Q: Is it possible to whisk egg whites too much? A: If you whisk egg whites to much they will definitely separate  Q: What happens to rhetoric If the egg whites separate?###The food not rhetoric A: Basically you are over tightening their stretchy proteins which squeeze out all the water  Q: Would this make the food more dry?

CONTEXT: Here's a quote from the short section "Stir-Fry" in the Gargantuan work "Modernist Cuisine": ...a wok burner can deliver up to [...] 200,000 BTU/h of thermal power. [...] By comparison, Western-style professional gas burners deliver [...] 15,000-30,000 BTU/h), and domestic gas burners [...] 6,000-14,000 BTU/h)...So for professional stir-fry ("bao" in thai - I think), the hotter the better. But there's also non-professional "chow" stir-fry, which is, in "Modernist Cuisine"s words, more like a "covered saute". You don't do the asian stir-fry because the flame is just too small, so you cook the fresh foods in their juices, stop while they're still crisp, and know that the world holds compassion also for guys with stoves like ours.  <sep>  Q: What gas output required for home stir frying? A: up to [...] 200,000 BTU/h of thermal power. [...] By comparison, Western-style professional gas burners deliver [...] 15,000-30,000 BTU/h), and domestic gas burners [...] 6,000-14,000 BTU/h  Q: My bbq has a 12000btu output side burner, will this be ok A: domestic gas burners [...] 6,000-14,000 BTU/h  Q: What is the optimum output to use without getting into the professional output range? A: 6,000-14,000 BTU/h  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can i use the wok on the stove or just a grill?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It really comes down to taste. In this usage, you're treating sauerkraut like a condiment so there's not really a "correct" answer.. A lot of hot dog places have traditions - for instance, Nathan's Famous hot dogs (the original "Coney Island" hot dog) uses these combinations with kraut:-Sauerkraut, spicey brown mustard (New York style)-Thousand island dressing, sauerkraut, swiss cheese (Reuben style)A famous hot dog maker in Pennsylvania, Yocco's Famous Dogs, uses sauerkraut and a thin bean chili combination to make their hot dogs.The sauerkraut will often be very strong tasting, but not as "funky" as kimchi. It pairs well with a lot of different foods, usually other strong flavors (either strong tart like the spicey mustard, or strong sweet like the thousand island dressing or sweet relish).Personally, I just eat sauerkraut with a fork. But if I have it on a dog, I pile it on with dill relish, country style dijon mustard, a dash of sriracha, and some diced onion. I recommend not kissing anyone for awhile after eating.  <sep>  Q: Sauerkraut for hot dogs A: It really comes down to taste. In this usage, you're treating sauerkraut like a condiment so there's not really a "correct" answer  Q: Would you serve anything else with it? A: Personally, I just eat sauerkraut with a fork  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: is there any other advice you could give me/
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: What to doA dough should be generally risen by size anyway, not by time. But it is also very forgiving, so it will probably still give you decent edible bread if you do it by time. The best way is to wait until it has doubled, no matter what the clock shows. But you insist on going by the clock, don't change the time, wait the 30 minutes. It may be underproofed (with such a short time given by the recipe, there is virtually no chance of overproofing it), but the same would have happened if you were using the original amounts and going by the clock. Dough proofing and timeThe rising time for dough at room temperature is not affected by recipe scaling, the time it takes a specific dough to double will be the same regardless of the size of your batch. If the temperature in your proofing container is significantly different from the dough temperature, you will see some effect on rising times with different batch sizes and dough shapes, as the center of the dough will need some time to get to the same temperature as the proofing container, and warmer dough rises quicker than cold dough. This is unlikely to have a measurable effect at dough amounts used by home bakers, especially considering that the possible proofing temperature window is rather narrow.  <sep>  Q: How does halving a bread recipe impact rising time? A: the time it takes a specific dough to double will be the same regardless of the size of your batch  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would doubling or tripleing the recipe make it to heavy to rise as fast?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I usually don't buy crumbled tofu, but since you have that, I would suggest making tofu burgers. Add another hearty ingredient, like lightly roasted finely chopped walnuts, or baked eggplant cubes. Combine with chopped onions, garlic, grated carrots, and breadcrumbs. Bind with beaten egg. Season with your choice of herbs or spices, such as thyme, oregano, basil. Form into patties, fry lightly in olive oil and sprinkle with tamari (or soy sauce) until both sides are browned. Bake until fully cooked in the oven at 375 degrees. Serve on a bun just like a beef patty.  <sep>  Q: What can I do with crumbles of uncooked tofu ? A: I would suggest making tofu burgers  Q: How can I do tofu burgers ? A: Add another hearty ingredient  Q: do you have a suggestion for what ingredients I could add ?

Output: Yes
CONTEXT: How exactly are you making them? This might affect the answer.I assume you're using some sort of mold. If that's the case, plunge the mold into an ice bath, but don't completely submerge it. Assuming your mold is metal (molten sugar is hot!) they will cool rather rapidly although I can't give you an exact time.In general, an ice bath is the way to go for rapid cooling. You could get it a little cooler by adding a generous dose of salt to the ice bath, but meh I think you'll only shave a few seconds.  <sep>  Q: Cooling melted sugar quickly? A: molten sugar is hot  Q: What the easiest way to make 1 inch cubes and cool them down enough to hold their shape? A: I assume you're using some sort of mold. If that's the case, plunge the mold into an ice bath, but don't completely submerge it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long will it take the to cool?
Output: Yes
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?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: For cheese cakes water bath makes more sense cause you want to avoid burning of the batter by keeping the heat contact directly from the tray.For brownies the contact of the hot plate is required, and that is how you get a little solid outer part.When you try to water bath brownies, they would have more or less like cheese cake texture, I actually tried it.  <sep>  Q: Can a water bath be used to bake brownies? A: For brownies the contact of the hot plate is required  Q: how could I bake the brownies so that the outside perimeter isnât hard? A: When you try to water bath brownies, they would have more or less like cheese cake texture, I actually tried it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: The rest of the brownies are cooked right, so should a i change the temp or the baking time?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Fish sauce! I think the clam juice is probably already a substitute for fish sauce anyway, so it should make a very good substitute. (If you look up recipes for Thai beef salad you'll find tons of things with fish sauce, and probably not much with clam juice.)You probably want to use less, though, maybe starting with 2-4 tablespoons, though I've seen recipes using more.It should be fine for the dietary restriction too; it's just made with anchovies, not an unknown blend of seafood, but of course check the label just in case.  <sep>  Q: What can I use instead of clam juice? A: Fish sauce  Q: Is that suitable for someone who doesn't eat shellfish? A: It should be fine for the dietary restriction too; it's just made with anchovies, not an unknown blend of seafood, but of course check the label just in case  Q: Do I use the same amount that I would have used of clam juice? A: You probably want to use less, though, maybe starting with 2-4 tablespoons, though I've seen recipes using more  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will it have the same consistency?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Your question is slightly confusing but I'll try to answer your question.As far as I can tell McCoin brand is bags of frozen vegetables (correct me if I am wrong).If it says do not thaw and to cook from frozen, it just means you do not need to thaw it before you cook it. Thawing is the act of unfreezing something. This can be accomplished by leaving something out at room temperature to naturally thaw.So if you have frozen corn and want to put it in chili or soup, just throw the frozen corn directly in without thawing it.  <sep>  Q: Meaning of do not thaw for frozen food A: it just means you do not need to thaw it before you cook it  Q: oh okay. am i supposed to wash frozen food after opening the package or can i cook it directly? A: So if you have frozen corn and want to put it in chili or soup, just throw the frozen corn directly in without thawing it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: should i put my opened packet into the freezer again if i don't want to use all of it?

CONTEXT: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough. How hot was quite hot, how long could you hover your hand above the pan? Did you notice any change to the oil once you added it to the pan, did it streak, did it start to smoke?[Personally I tend to oil the meat before placing into the pan.]I think the main flaw is the frying for a minute on each side, at the temperature you had, that cooking time was too low. Maybe 2-4 minutes on each side. A medium should have a lot more heat penetrate the edges and allow that heat to transfer and cook the steak off the heat.That's an acceptable blue/rare steak though.  <sep>  Q: What happened to my steak? A: re ar  Q: I have trouble cooking a steak medium, do you have any tips? A: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is a steak hip about 1 cm to 1.5cm in heith a good size to try to cook?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The primary reason is definitely convenience. If you don't want skin and seeds in your sauce, then you have to do some work to avoid it. Yes, it's possible, e.g. passing through a food mill, or blanching and peeling plus retaining only the flesh, but having it already done is a whole lot easier.Passata is usually much thicker too, so it won't need as long a cooking time to reduce into a non-watery sauce as fresh tomatoes. On top of that, you don't have to worry about whether you can find good fresh tomatoes, e.g. if it's winter and they're out of season.Your two cases for comparison seem to overlook this: if you just chop and cook, you'll have skin and seeds in your sauce, as well as excess liquid to cook down, while if you use passata, you won't. (Also, for what it's worth, you'd need pretty giant tomatoes to get the equivalent of 3/4 cup of passata out of one tomato.)Of course, if you don't mind skin and seeds, it's also perfectly fine to simply cook fresh tomatoes and be done with it.Note that you can often get similar advantages from other canned tomato products. In the US, crushed tomatoes are far more common, and a roughly similar texture. (Peeled whole tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste can also be useful depending on what texture you're aiming for.)  <sep>  Q: Why specifically use Passata, rather than tomatoes, in Ragu? A: The primary reason is definitely convenience  Q: what is a specific difference? A: Passata is usually much thicker  Q: do I cook it much longer? A: it won't need as long a cooking time  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: how much should I use?

CONTEXT: Traditional goulash is a stew/soup, usually using a cheaper cut of meat suited to slow cooking. It usually contains potatoes and other vegetables, as well as noodles. A true stroganoff consists of paprika-dusted fillet steak quickly pan fried with mushrooms and onions in a sour cream and brandy sauce. It is usually served with rice.I understand that in the US stroganoff can also refer to a stew made with similar ingredients as the traditional dish, and is served with noodles. This, coupled with the shared use of paprika, is evidently where the line blurs.  <sep>  Q: What's the difference between stroganoff and goulash? A: Traditional goulash is a stew/soup, usually using a cheaper cut of meat suited to slow cooking  Q: Does goulash contain sour cream?

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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the difference between "regular corn meal" in the US and other places?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart. Adding the liquid to the cheesecake will noticeably alter the texture, probably making it mushy; note that there aren't any water based ingredients in the recipe which you could substitute raspberry syrup for. 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What would be the best method to use in order to strain the frozen berries thoroughly?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Most turkeys sold in the United States for Thanksgiving are frozen. It simply is not feasible for meat processors to process the huge spike in turkeys for the holiday and provide everyone a fresh turkey. Expect to pay a premium for a fresh turkey over a frozen one. If you buy a frozen turkey, from a quality standpoint it does not matter whether you buy a turkey a month out from Thanksgiving (now) or wait to buy the turkey later. You will basically get the same product.  <sep>  Q: When's the best time to buy a Thanksgiving turkey? A: If you buy a frozen turkey, from a quality standpoint it does not matter whether you buy a turkey a month out from Thanksgiving (now) or wait to buy the turkey later  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Should I worry about it getting frostburn in the intervening month?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Yes, you can freeze parmesan cheese. Even without freezing, Parmesan is very durable since the low water and high salt content prevents mould from growing. The younger varieties may be more prone to mould growth (having a higher water content), but I've kept ripe Parmesan (30-36 months) for at least a year in the fridge without problems (and it would probably have stayed good much longer). Just remember to keep it wrapped in paper, not in a sealed plastic container to prevent a buildup of condensation.  <sep>  Q: Can I freeze Parmesan?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I assume you're making normal maki (nori side out) and not California rolls.Are you leaving a 1/2 inch or so of blank nori (no rice) on the outside edge (the edge that you roll last)? If you slightly wet the bare edge of the nori with a little water on your finger it should help it stick together.  <sep>  Q: How do I stop sushi rolls from opening up?

CONTEXT: You are not hurting the flavor.In theory, it will shorten the steeping time a miniscule (probably imperceptable) amount, but the effect is more psychologial perception than reality.I pour boiling hot water over my teabag and start my timer for five minutes and don't touch or swirl the tea bag. If the bag sits in the hot water 20% longer (6 minutes instead of 5), I would be lying if I tried to pretend that I could preceive a taste difference from the previous cuppa I'd sipped. I cannot.Costs you nothing - so try it and see if you can taste any difference.  <sep>  Q: Will swishing or moving a teabag around affect the steeping time in any way? A: In theory, it will shorten the steeping time a miniscule (probably imperceptable) amount, but the effect is more psychologial perception than reality  Q: Am I hurting the flavor at all? A: You are not hurting the flavor  Q: What can I do to affect the steeping time then? A: I pour boiling hot water over my teabag and start my timer for five minutes and don't touch or swirl the tea bag  Q: Would cold water work or just hot? A: hot water  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What else would have an effect on tea infusion?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Ribs should not be cooked with direct heat, generally. The directions on the meat are VERY defective. You should turn the left burner on, and put the ribs in the right side of the grill. You should cook at a temperature between 250-300F, typically for 4-5 hours. They're done when the meat pulls back from the bone and when you can easily tear the meat between bones, not when they hit a certain temperature. Check out amazingribs.com, and also get your money back. The instructions on the packaging border on fraud.  <sep>  Q: Ribs burned to a crisp following directions. What does "medium high" mean? A: Ribs should not be cooked with direct heat, generally. The directions on the meat are VERY defective  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: If meat should not be cooked with direct heat, what is the most effective way?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Sure you can. It will not taste salty, but it also will not taste bland, it will have a "seasoned" taste. Will you like it that way, or miss the salt? That's not something we can predict (or you, for that matter, if you have not tried it before). You have to taste it so you can know if you personally enjoy eating saltless, umami food. When trying, make sure that you are using very small quantities. Measure in knifetips, not in teaspoons, add one at the time and stir well. You can easily overdo it, and there is no way to go back. Pay speciall attention to the feeling of "It's not good yet" - it can come from "not enough seasoning" or from "not enough salt", in the second case adding more MSG won't help.  <sep>  Q: Ran out of salt can I use MSG (monosodium glutamate) instead? A: Sure you can. It will not taste salty, but it also will not taste bland, it will have a "seasoned" taste  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there anything else I can use as a substitute?
Output: No
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 should I develop a butterscotch flavor in a savory sauce? A: I think the reduced brandy is a big contributor to the flavor  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What ingredients can be used to develop these flavors?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: We have a convection oven and almost always use it. I can't remember the last time we didn't use convection. Our model automatically decreases the temperature, so if you set it for 300, then it will heat to 275. Not sure if that is a magic 25 degree number, but it seems to work. Almost all recipes cook time wise as they would with a non-convection oven. Our also has a single and multi-rack mode, and it circulates the air differently in that case. We have NEVER had any problems with the food drying out more with the air circulation as they say that is a common negative.I am sure the effectiveness varies oven to oven, but in our case, we always use it (except for broiling of course).  <sep>  Q: I think I understand what convection does, and (some) of the benefits, such as eliminating hot/cold spots, and being more efficient overall. Does this mean that I should always take advantage of it?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Fish sauce! I think the clam juice is probably already a substitute for fish sauce anyway, so it should make a very good substitute. (If you look up recipes for Thai beef salad you'll find tons of things with fish sauce, and probably not much with clam juice.)You probably want to use less, though, maybe starting with 2-4 tablespoons, though I've seen recipes using more.It should be fine for the dietary restriction too; it's just made with anchovies, not an unknown blend of seafood, but of course check the label just in case.  <sep>  Q: What can I use instead of clam juice?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: This will work just fine. Many people will get the math wrong, but your calculations appear correct. Give it a good stir and everything should come out as expected. Most recipes are sufficiently tolerant that substituting the double cream would likely be fine compared to just using the heavy (if not an improvement).  <sep>  Q: Can I dilute double cream with milk to get lower fat content?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: For what it's worth, I read once that you should briefly soak seitan in a bowl, covered in boiled water, to soften it up before using it. I have tried this, and it really does make a difference in the final texture. I typically cut it into cubes, soak it for about 10-15 minutes, then drain it and proceeded as normal for the recipe.  <sep>  Q: How to keep baked seitan from being too tough?### A: For what it's worth, I read once that you should briefly soak seitan in a bowl, covered in boiled water, to soften it up before using it  Q: how to make soft?

CONTEXT: Garlic roasted as a head, as unpeeled cloves, or as peeled cloves is all much the same. It is just easier to handle unpeeled, and even easier when kept as a headFor easy results just trim the excess paper skin and roots of a whole garlic head, carefully trim just the tops of most of the clovesDon't drizzle with oil and wrap in foil, this will just make a mess, and steam them more than roast them. Garlic is already very oily, it shouldn't need any more. Roasting items should be exposed to dry heat, not steamRoast until soft and medium-dark brown. When cooled slightly, pull cloves apart and lay them out on a board. Squeeze out each clove using a firm spatula or other blunt tool. This should not be too messy. Wear disposable gloves if you don't like garlic on your hands  <sep>  Q: What's the easiest way to roast a large amount of garlic? A: For easy results just trim the excess paper skin and roots of a whole garlic head, carefully trim just the tops of most of the cloves  Q: Will it effect the taste if I roast an entire head of garlic instead of roasting peeled cloves? A: It is just easier to handle unpeeled, and even easier when kept as a head  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What about cooking time?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: You don't need to defrost it, you can add cold roux directly to a boiling liquid. To avoid lumps from the roux, most cooks suggest you either add cold roux to a hot sauce, or cold liquid to hot roux. If you heat the roux gradually with the liquid you may get lumps, and don't get a good impression of how much thickening is going on until it heats fully.  <sep>  Q: I like preparing a large quantity of Roux and pouring them in ice trays to keep them in the freezer. How would I defrost them?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Surprisingly, an egg is the most difficult thing to cook. McDonalds serves a lot of eggs in their breakfast menus and they haven't found a way yet to mass prefry / prcook these suckers. So I doubt this could be done.I tried half cooking scrambled eggs before and then finishing them off later, and the result was crap at best.I doubt you can do that with non-scrambled eggs, as the yolks and whites will change physical properties when heated / cooled / reheated  <sep>  Q: How far in advance of serving can you fry fried eggs?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I believe that 'English Breakfast Tea' is a very broad definition and doesn't refer to an exact blend; each manufacturer has their own version of it. I would say that English Breakfast Tea often includes Assam, but as your Wiki source suggests it also contains other teas. Therefore Assam is a separate tea.  <sep>  Q: Does English Breakfast Tea equal Assam Tea? A: t English Breakfast Tea often includes Assam  Q: I want to make Chai, what kind of tea can I use? A: English Breakfast Tea  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: should I heat the cup before serving?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Pepper sauces usually deliver an aroma (from the peppers), some sweet/sour/salty element (from the pickling ingredients mostly), and heat (from the peppers). A hotter pepper will not necessarily be stronger in aroma, so using this kind of super hot pepper alone can end you up with a sauce that is hot but poor in flavor. Also, given that capsaicin is very soluble in fat but not very soluble in water/vinegar, such a sauce will have a very uneven distribution of heat and will likely end up with a very harsh, unpleasant heat no matter how diluted - similar to throwing chile powder into a lean soup.  <sep>  Q: How much pepper sauce could you get out of a Carolina Reaper?###If you can get one pepper and let's say for arguments sake assume that this pepper is 1 500 000 SHU. ###How much sauce could you actually make from one such pepper? A: A hotter pepper will not necessarily be stronger in aroma, so using this kind of super hot pepper alone can end you up with a sauce that is hot but poor in flavor  Q: How would this influence the amount of sauce you could make? A: Pepper sauces usually deliver an aroma (from the peppers), some sweet/sour/salty element (from the pickling ingredients mostly), and heat (from the peppers  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a general rule of thumb for how pepper sauces are made in regards to the SHU levels they achieve?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I've never tried steaming bok choy, but yes, the ribs and leafy bits cook at different speeds.For stir frys I trim the bottom so the ribs come free, clean off any dirt that's gotten trapped in between, then stack up the leaves and cut the leaves from the ribs. I slice the ribs into about 5mm / 3/16" slices, and add them towards the end; the leaves I cut into ribbons (perpendicular to the ribs), and stir them in at the last second, so they barely cook. The center I just chop the top off the leafy bit, and slice the more rib-like bits a litte larger than the rest of the ribs (they're thinner, so cook faster).As I've never tried steaming it, and I don't tend to cook in bags (except for silver turtles when camping), this is going to be a complete guess. Now, it tastes fine al dente, so you could leave the ribs as large as I use for a stir fry, but en papillote tends to be fancier cooking, so I'd probably try for maybe 1/6" slices or a little thicker (maybe 2-3mm), and if you had a mandoline so they all came out even, that'd be great. I'd still cut the leaves into ribbons, just because it's easier to eat than a huge intact leaf.I'd assume that the leaves would cook at a similar rate as spinich, and the ribs closer to fennel, if that helps at all.  <sep>  Q: How should I prepare Bok Choy before I cook it?
Output: Yes
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: Yes

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? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Anything, can if effect the taste?
Output: Yes
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)
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I would actually just make caramel. Place about 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup in a heavy bottom pan and dissolve over low-medium heat then crank up the heat and let cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a golden amber colour and starts smoking. Then use the resulting caramel to sweeten your coffee :-)  <sep>  Q: How can I make coffee syrup with caramel taste? A: I would actually just make caramel  Q: Do you have a recipe for that caramel? A: Place about 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup in a heavy bottom pan  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long do I cook it for?

CONTEXT: Yes, nuts are very fatty, and they will eventually go rancidâ if this is the case, they will taste very poor. They can also dry out, or in more rare cases (especially if stored improperly) be infested with insects or molds.Generally, they should be good for six months to a year at their best flavor, depending on the variety (in the shell).Five years is a little long. I am not sure I would want to eat nuts that old.  <sep>  Q: Do nuts ever go bad? A: nuts are very fatty, and they will eventually go rancid  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I wonder if I cook would that help?
Output: No
CONTEXT: This seems nonsensical to try with your home stove. You are correct, the rate of gas output is directly controlled by the knobs. In a typical home stove, drilling holes will not increase the gas output. It would affect the gas to air ratio, but I doubt it would result in an increase of temperature, and more likely a decrease.  <sep>  Q: Are you familiar with the gas range hack for greater power output? A: This seems nonsensical to try with your home stove  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why is it a bad idea for my home stove?
