CONTEXT: It sounds like the one you got may not have been of good quality. I don't remember them being terribly expensive ($40?), so I'd take yours back. If you get a good one, it should last you for years and years, so don't be afraid to invest a little. Your new one should NOT be splintering. And don't put your new one in the dishwasher.  <sep>  Q: Why is my bamboo cutting board shedding splinters? A: It sounds like the one you got may not have been of good quality  Q: Is there a way to clean them off? A: don't put your new one in the dishwasher  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why does water make the splinters stick worse?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Yes that's exactly what it means, apply salt to the steak. You shouldn't coat it, but you should apply salt very liberally. It's actually hard to over-salt a steak; many inexperienced cooks actually underseason the steak.I suggest about 1 tsp per side for a good ribeye. Salt it about 10-15 minutes prior.  <sep>  Q: What does it mean to 'salt' a steak prior to frying? A: apply salt to the steak  Q: How much salt should i use on the steak ? A: You shouldn't coat it, but you should apply salt very liberally  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long before cooking should I salt it ?
Output: Yes
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? A: I have been told that cedar, white and yellow pine, and many other variaties are safe in normal quantities and have high vitamin content  Q: Can pine needle tea be poisonous ? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Anything else I should consider ?

CONTEXT: What gives spices their flavors are the oils that they contain, along with any water soluble flavors that they might have. In a pressure cooker, your food will cook hot. What that means to your spices will vary as certain spices could grow more bitter or sweeter depending on the compounds inside them. Conventional wisdom says that pressure cooking concentrates the flavors, although that would seem to fly in the face of physics as you aren't reducing while pressure cooking, you are just heating steam at a higher atmosphere to transfer more heat to the food faster.As for texture, use the one that you like.  <sep>  Q: What the difference between cooking vegetable curries in a pressure cooker and a wok? A: Conventional wisdom says that pressure cooking concentrates the flavors  Q: Does that mean I will get a more flavorful vegetable currie in a pressure cooker?

Output: No
CONTEXT: It really depends on your audience and setting. With a Filipino Lechon, it's served communally and eaten as pulled pork, so it's expected that you'll just plunk it down on a side table, and people will crack through the crisp, almost hard, skin and pull servings for themselves with tongs or forks. And they'll go for the whole thing, skin, ears, jowls and all (most people I know don't eat the ears, but they may crunch the crispy skin off them).A similar thing is done with a country-style hog roast. Those may be skinned before serving, but generally you're responsible for pulling or slicing what you want right off the hog (and usually throwing it on a cheapo burger bun). In both of these settings there are almost always some people who don't want to dig right into the pig out of squeamishness or out of fear of getting some part that's not nice to eat. The good host will periodically pull some of the good stuff onto a platter for those folks.If you're doing something more formal, I guess you'd want to section it like Foodrules suggests.  <sep>  Q: What is the best process to serve a whole pre-cooked pig I got from the butchers? A: It really depends on your audience and setting  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a lot of butchering involved?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Modern non-stick pans should not have problems with coatings flaking off. Spend $50 on a non-stick pan and it will last you for a very long time. Coatings on good pans should hold up to any non-metallic utensils. Very expensive pans suggest that you can hit them with a hammer and not hurt the surface.  <sep>  Q: What should I look for when choosing egg cookware? A: Modern non-stick pans  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you have any alternatives to non-stick/Teflon?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Yes, you can roast the beans some more. However the results will probably not be great. Roasting results in quite a bit of smoke. If you are going low tech, I would do it in a wok in a very well ventilated area. It's pretty easy to set off smoke detectors. A stove top with a range hood might be good enough if you have a particularly good range hood. Outside with the wok on a BBQ is probably best.Roast over a low heat and stir continuously. You want to get the beans as even as possible, trying not to burn them. The beans will continue to roast after taking them off the heat. So stop one or two roast levels before the desired colour and tip your beans out into a colander and continue stirring to cool. The residual heat will cook the bean some more. To aim for a desired roast level, compare the current roast colour to your desired roast colour and maybe to a roast level chart. Google image search "coffee roast level chart". Guesstimate the roast level that is one or two levels below your desired colour to stop at.Once again there will be a lot of smoke.  <sep>  Q: How to improve the taste of sour coffee beans? A: you can roast the beans some more. However the results will probably not be great  Q: Why will the results not be great?

Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I'd say that's not strictly true,mostly because no salt substitute I've ever seen can get the same taste anyway. "Real" salt is sodium chloride (and maybe iodine, or minor impurities if it's sea salt). Most salt substitutes are partly or mostly potassium chloride. This is technically a salt (chemically speaking) and does have a similar salty taste, but it doesn't taste quite like sodium chloride, and can be bitter or metallic-tasting. Some salt substitutes add herbs or other things to help make the potassium chloride more palatable. Sounds like your has some "regular" salt as well, if it's got a significant sodium content.So while you are right that there's likely a "catch," it's more likely to be that your salt substitute will never taste quite right, or will be bitter, and less likely that you'll be piling loads of extra on in an effort to get the right saltiness.  <sep>  Q: Is low sodium salt really effective? A: no salt substitute I've ever seen can get the same taste anyway  Q: do you add more to get the full flavor? A: you'll be piling loads of extra on in an effort to get the right saltiness  Q: is there another ingredient i can use? A: Some salt substitutes add herbs or other things to help make the potassium chloride more palatable  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: is the stuff healthy for you?

CONTEXT: Clingwrap works fine for me -- but I don't use a meat tenderizer -- I just use a small but fairly heavy pan (but not my cast iron, as it's not smooth on the bottom).When I was in college, I tried a few things. I can get pretty decent results just hitting it with my cutting board. (with it between saran wrap).Part of it might be technique -- if I'm doing chicken breast I first slice is sort of following the taper of the breast, so it's neither with or across the grain, but kinda of diagonal. You also don't want to hit straight down -- you want to angle the blows, so you're actually pushing the meat out, and not just trying to force it through the counter.And I should mention that I've only ever pounded out poultry and pork -- I assume beef would be the same, but I have no experience to confirm or deny it.  <sep>  Q: How do I pound chicken (or other meat) without making a mess? A: When I was in college, I tried a few things. I can get pretty decent results just hitting it with my cutting board. (with it between saran wrap  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What do you do now?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Yes, you can definitely use UHT milk in bread. UHT is not usable for some applications, because its proteins have been changed by the heat. But in bread, you don't need the proteins from the milk. Bread recipes include milk to make the dough richer, so it is mostly the fat content that matters. Using UHT won't change anything in the dough structure. I even think that the usual unpleasant taste won't be noticeable, but I am not so sure about that. Still, it gets diluted a lot in dough, so if you can drink UHT as-is, you shouldn't have a problem with the bread taste.  <sep>  Q: Can I bake bread with long-life milk? A: you can definitely use UHT milk in bread  Q: What is UHT milk?###My normal breadmaker recipe uses milk as the main liquid ingredient. Normally I use fresh semi-skimmed milk for this and get great results. A: UHT is not usable for some applications, because its proteins have been changed by the heat. But in bread, you don't need the proteins from the milk  Q: Is this an acceptable substitute on its own? A: Using UHT won't change anything in the dough structure  Q: is there a way I can tweak the recipe to work better with this milk?

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?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I understand that sugar (and by extension jaggery) helps yeast multiply at a very fast paceThis is only partly true. Yeast is a living organism and can only live under certain conditions, including a certain osmotic pressure. If you start from pure bread dough, then adding a bit of sugar to the dough (or to the preferment) can make it rise faster. But adding sugar in quantities sufficient to make the bread taste sweet will slow down the yeast growth, as opposed to making it quicker. There is even an upper limit for how much sugar you can add per 100 g of flour, and it's not recommended to use recipes which prescribe more, as they turn out poorly. So I wouldn't change the amount of yeast, unless you make the empirical observation that your yeast is overfed (recognizable by speed of raising and the changed smell).  <sep>  Q: Should I decrease the amount of yeast I add depending on how much sweet I add (I use jaggery) while making sweet bread? A: adding sugar in quantities sufficient to make the bread taste sweet will slow down the yeast growth, as opposed to making it quicker  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: is the salt to yeast ration important at all?
Output: No
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? A: Presumably you are experiencing rancidity, due to oxygen  Q: We back them with polypropylene pouches with nitrogen flushing. Could there be any other issues than rancidity?

A: A different type of bag (an "oxygen barrier" bag material) or package (glass jar, or metal can  Q: Which is better, bag/jar/ or can? A: based on other packaging I have seen) oxygen absorbing packets inside the bag  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How do those work?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I'm sorry to say this, but I think prevention is the best answer. Once you're vegetables freeze things happen at the cellular level that changes the nature of the vegetables. For example, ice crystals pierce cell walls which destroys some of the structure, which is responsible for the crispness and crunch of the vegetable. I don't think there is really a way to "fix" this, once it happens.That said, cooking does something similar to vegetables. Cooking destroys cell walls, which is why cooked carrots are so much softer than raw carrots. I would think that vegetables that stand up to cooking would survive freezing the best (such as your mushrooms). On the other hand, somthing like lettuce is a lost cause, once frozen.  <sep>  Q: How do i recover vegetables that get "refrigerator crisper chill"?

CONTEXT: What you're describing is something that I'd consider normal in a cookie. Some cookies are more cake-like, some are chewy, some are crunchy, some are flatter than others - but they're all good. Almost any factor - from the type of fat, to the type of liquid, to the leavener, to the temperature of both the oven and the dough can affect the cookie's texture. I'd make two recommendations if you want your cookie less flat: 1) chill the dough for a few hours, or overnight. Then, form them and get them into the oven quickly, while the dough is stone cold. 2) Try a different recipe. Do a visual internet search for the type of cookie that you're after. Good recipes are hard to find, and sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs...  <sep>  Q: Why aren't my chocolate chip cookies coming out the way I'd like them? A: Almost any factor - from the type of fat, to the type of liquid, to the leavener, to the temperature of both the oven and the dough can affect the cookie's texture  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I'm making chocolate chip cookies. Am I doing something wrong if my cookies look flat on top, and soft, and brown on the bottom?

CONTEXT: Chilis supply 2 things, chili flavor and heat. The flavor comes from the flesh while the heat comes from the seeds and especially the membrane that connects the seeds to the flesh. Ordinarily when someone wants to reduce the heat of a pepper I would suggest cutting it open and removing the seeds and membrane, however that's pretty much impossible with a dried pepper. My recommendation in this case would be to put the chipotles in whole, then remove them after cooking is done. Put the peppers in after all the other ingredients, just before simmering, then try to avoid stirring it if you can avoid it - be gentle so you don't burst the peppers open. Once the cooking is done you fish them out with a spoon and you can serve them as a side to the heat lovers if you like.  <sep>  Q: What effect does removing previously-dried peppers from a sauce have? A: Put the peppers in after all the other ingredients, just before simmering, then try to avoid stirring it if you can avoid it - be gentle so you don't burst the peppers open  Q: Do I then take the peppers out?

CONTEXT: Nutrition itself is off-topic. However, keep in mind the following:There are many compounds in tea leaves and some dissolve early, and some a little later. At some point (around 5-10 minutes of steeping at ~95Â°C), you will lose majority of the 'good stuff' and continue picking up less desirable compounds. You will notice that while colour might persist, the taste will be come less and less desirable. In some cultures re-using tea leaves is considered a faux-pas because of this.If you find your tea to be too strong after steeping, the best thing is to reduce the amount of leaves for the next time; as opposed to steeping them multiple times.  <sep>  Q: Steeping green tea leaves - how many times can I steep them, and do they lose flavanoids over steeps?

CONTEXT: Basmati is classic. I am particularly fond of brown basmati rice, which has more flavor than white basmati, but it takes longer to cook and will go rancid after 6 months. If basmati is not available, any long-grain rice will suffice; short-grain rice tends to be too sticky. As for technique, rinse the rice until the rinse-water runs clear. For every cup of rice, use 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring the water to a boil; add the rice and salt and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook covered until the liquid has been absorbed and the texture of the rice is tender.For additions to the rice, you have LOADS of options. You can add a pinch of saffron to the water for a vibrant yellow color and distinctive floral aroma (if you just want color, add 1/2 tsp ground turmeric). You can add chunks of peeled ginger, cracked peppercorns, whole peeled garlic cloves, whole cardamom pods, whole cloves, whole bay leaves, whole kaffir lime leaves, and/or whole stick cinnamon -- amounts and combinations are entirely up to your taste (just remember to remove any bay leaves before serving; remove the others or not as you like, but bay is inedible). You can also add cooked vegetables, such as peas, butter beans, pearl onions, and/or carrots.  <sep>  Q: What kind of rice to serve with Indian Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)? A: Basmati is classic. I am particularly fond of brown basmati rice, which has more flavor than white basmati, but it takes longer to cook and will go rancid after 6 months  Q: Do you have a preferred way to cook the rice ?

CONTEXT: It's typically a problem with large pockets of air in the dough before you bake it.For the cinnamon swirl bread, try to make sure that you're not getting air trapped when rolling it. For other loaves, you want to make sure to punch it down well after the first rise, and make sure you aren't trapping air in it if you're doing a stretch and fold when shaping it.  <sep>  Q: When I make homemade bread, why do I get big gaps in the bread?

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"?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: It might be there for body, but more likely for the umami kick that tomato past helps with. I bet you could leave it out with no ill effect...otherwise, try some ketchup.

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: 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  Q: Ok. How should I cook the Bok Choy after I prepare it? A: stir them in at the last second, so they barely cook  Q: Will the leaf cook faster than the rib?

CONTEXT: Gelatin sheets are soaked in cold-to-room-temp water in order to soften and rehydrate them slightly before stirring them into the (often hot) food. If you were to try to stir a sheet of gelatin directly into hot liquid, you'd find that it behaves a lot like cornstarch. It clumps up immediately and produces unpleasant-to-eat chunks that only a blender and a chinois have a hope of removing.You squeeze it after soaking to remove excess (unflavored) water from the exterior. Otherwise, each sheet might bring along quite a bit of water, which will seriously affect the consistency of a product you expect to set up, and might affect the taste of even something like a braise to which you are adding the gelatin just for body.  <sep>  Q: Why do we soak and squeeze gelatine?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Marshmallows expand so much because the water in them becomes steam, and gas takes up a LOT more volume than liquid. Specifically, 1 mL of water becomes ~1.36 LITERS of vapor, before it gets heated further. That's 1000-fold expansion, before you add additional expansion as the gas is heated. Marshmallows don't have all that much water content, but when it's trapped in a stretchy gelatin matrix that holds gas readily, it only takes a bit to blow the whole thing up like a balloon.You are correct that the gas expansion on its own is insufficient; unless I've badly muddled my calculations, gas expansion from 20C to ~150C (caramelization temperature) will increase the gas volume by under 50%.  <sep>  Q: Why do marshmallows poof up so huge when put in the microwave? A: Marshmallows expand so much because the water in them becomes steam, and gas takes up a LOT more volume than liquid  Q: Is the water the only component, or are there others? A: Marshmallows don't have all that much water content, but when it's trapped in a stretchy gelatin matrix that holds gas readily  Q: What else can you tell me about the science of it? A: the gas expansion on its own is insufficient; unless I've badly muddled my calculations, gas expansion from 20C to ~150C (caramelization temperature) will increase the gas volume by under 50  Q: Anything else?

CONTEXT: Deep dish modifications successful. I ended up cooking in my 10" cast iron skillet at 475 for 20 minutes directly on my preheated pizza stone.On top of this I followed @derobert's advice and sweat the ever loving crap out of my diced tomatoes. Was able to extract a full cup of liquid out of them AFTER draining for an hour.The crust came out golden brown from edge to edge and all along the bottom and the exposed upper rim. There was no pool of liquid pouring through during cutting either. Was great last night and was great today for lunch.  <sep>  Q: How do I ensure my deep dish crust gets cooked?

Output: Yes
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?

CONTEXT: Probably not. Cans are generally marked at point of filling, not at point of manufacturingThe plastic liner looks plastic'y in all cases, it's very hard to tell. Epoxy is harder than other plastics, but there are epoxies that are BPA free anywayAluminium cans are more likely have a epoxy liner that will give off a trace of BPAMany steel cans do not use epoxy or other BPA plasticsHaving said that the tested BPA release from a can is 100's of times lower than the recommended maximum daily dose. So in theory there is nothing to really worry aboutThe common sense answer is, if epoxy dissolved into the cans contents they wouldn't use it would they. The whole reason it's there is to stop the contents 'eating' the can  <sep>  Q: Is there a definitive way to know if a tin can is lined with BPA? A: Probably not.

CONTEXT: Your best choices would be top sirloin (#1 choice), tenderloin, or one of the other (less expensive) sirloin cuts. Those cuts will be tender, flavorful, and without pockets of fat or gristle to mar the appearance of your dish.I don't recommend round because I simply don't like its flavor. Using round in this application might be one of the best applications to use up round, but for the best possible beef bowl, I'd go with the sirloin or tenderloin.TIP: To thinly slice meat, put it in the freezer first until it just starts to get hard (not even close to fully frozen), or start with meat that is only partially defrosted. Partially frozen meat is much easier to neatly and thinly slice. For this application, thin even slices really are important, they make for a much nicer presentation.  <sep>  Q: What cut of beef can I use to make "sukiyaki beef"? A: Your best choices would be top sirloin (#1 choice), tenderloin, or one of the other (less expensive) sirloin cuts  Q: I happen to have a rump roast in my freezer. Will that work? A: I don't recommend round because I simply don't like its flavor  Q: I will go with the rump roast, Do you think it would be best to slice it while it is partially frozen? A: To thinly slice meat, put it in the freezer first until it just starts to get hard (not even close to fully frozen), or start with meat that is only partially defrosted  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I am comfortable slicing it, can you recommend a delicious recipe?
Output: No
CONTEXT: The best way that I have found to cook okra, and prevent it from being slimy is to avoid cooking it with moisture.If you dredge it in seasoned cornmeal, then pan fry it, you get none of the slime that is common to okra.I haven't done any tests to verify if a quick fry would then prevent it from developing slime if you then add liquid, however. If you're trying to add the okra to a soup or a sauce, you might still need to spend some time cooking it to break down the slime.  <sep>  Q: How do I quickly get okra to stop being goopy? A: The best way that I have found to cook okra, and prevent it from being slimy is to avoid cooking it with moisture  Q: How should I cook it then? A: If you dredge it in seasoned cornmeal, then pan fry it, you get none of the slime that is common to okra  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will it still cook quickly?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Iron is simply an element, so it cannot be destroyed by cooking (or generally temperature changes), as vitamins and other organic structures potentially can.Cooked spinach inevitably has a much lower water content, thus the relative density of all other components must increase. So gram for gram, it makes sense that cooked spinach should have a higher concentration of iron (and possibly some other things) than raw. However, the actual process of cooking does nothing to change the amount of iron.  <sep>  Q: Why would cooked spinach contain more iron than raw?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The easiest solution that comes to mind would be to figure out how much you need for a sandwich, remove that from the jar, set it on the counter to come to room temp (or put it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds) and then spread it when it's warmed up. "Refrigerate after opening" doesn't mean that it must be in the fridge every second, though... so even if you left the entire jar on the counter for 30 minutes to warm up, it shouldn't pose much of a problem.  <sep>  Q: How to spread peanut butter that is required to stay refrigerated? A: The easiest solution that comes to mind would be to figure out how much you need for a sandwich  Q: Then what should I do next? A: remove that from the jar, set it on the counter to come to room temp (or put it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds) and then spread it when it's warmed up  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there some secret to spreading this peanut butter when it must be kept in the refrigerator?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: You could try using a different types of sugar with your soy sauce, perhaps palm sugar. This has that different flavor that your probably looking for. This is also the type of sugar that is commonly used when cooking in Southeast Asian foods, such as Indonesian food. Also the type of soy sauce you are using in the first place, You might want to try a Thai or Filipino style soy sauce, different flavor components. These are probably closer to the Indonesian taste, than say Japanese soy sauces. I find them sweeter and not as salty. Just as an aside, are you finding it difficult to find this sauce? Or do you just want to try making your own?  <sep>  Q: What is a good substitute for Kecap Manis A: You could try using a different types of sugar with your soy sauce, perhaps palm sugar  Q: Are there any other types of sauce that could be substituted? A: You might want to try a Thai or Filipino style soy sauce, different flavor components. These are probably closer to the Indonesian taste, than say Japanese soy sauces  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you know if molasses would be a good substitute for Kecap Manis?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: What you describe is grill basting - where a liquid is poured onto the grill and covered (with a metal salad bowl or a basting cover) to more evenly cook the food and maintain its moisture. The liquid is added towards the latter half of cooking, as adding it in the first half of cooking has no real beneficial effect. Additionally, the steam will melt cheese more evenly if grilling burger patties. Typically, this liquid is a stock (chicken or pork stock if cooking chicken, vegetable stock if cooking vegetables and beef stock if cooking beef) or water.On a personal note, I sometimes dissolve a pinch of salt in the water if I don't have any stock available.  <sep>  Q: What is the liquid often ladled onto the grill top in restaurants?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Yes, you can definitely use UHT milk in bread. UHT is not usable for some applications, because its proteins have been changed by the heat. But in bread, you don't need the proteins from the milk. Bread recipes include milk to make the dough richer, so it is mostly the fat content that matters. Using UHT won't change anything in the dough structure. I even think that the usual unpleasant taste won't be noticeable, but I am not so sure about that. Still, it gets diluted a lot in dough, so if you can drink UHT as-is, you shouldn't have a problem with the bread taste.  <sep>  Q: Can I bake bread with long-life milk? A: you can definitely use UHT milk in bread  Q: What is UHT milk?###My normal breadmaker recipe uses milk as the main liquid ingredient. Normally I use fresh semi-skimmed milk for this and get great results. A: UHT is not usable for some applications, because its proteins have been changed by the heat. But in bread, you don't need the proteins from the milk  Q: Is this an acceptable substitute on its own? A: Using UHT won't change anything in the dough structure  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: is there a way I can tweak the recipe to work better with this milk?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Beans freeze marvelously. I put mine in freezer bags and lay them flat so they freeze quickly and are easier to thaw.They are very sturdy little nuggets of joy and hold up well to canning or freezing without getting mushy.Different beans behave differently. Pintos soften quickly and don't have much of a skin. Black beans keep their shape and skin a lot longer. Kidney beans are in the middle- if you boil them too long they will mash but they are a lot sturdier than pintos.  <sep>  Q: Can you preserve canned kidney beans so that they still have their shape?
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  Q: Is there something I can add that is a common pantry item? A: you can 'invert' the sugar by adding some acid  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do I really need to keep simple syrup refrigerated?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I use regular Whole Milk Ricotta. Spread the Ricotta out on 1/2 of a white terry towel. Fold the other half of the towel over the cheese. Smooth it out and let it sit, inverting the folded towel after 15-20 minutes to dry the other side. This the best method to dry Ricotta cheese.  <sep>  Q: Impastata Ricotta for Cannoli. What is the difference between Impastata and regular ricotta? A: I use regular Whole Milk Ricotta  Q: Will regular whole milk Ricotta have to much moisture? A: Spread the Ricotta out on 1/2 of a white terry towel. Fold the other half of the towel over the cheese  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should it be left on the towel?###Does adding powdered sugar make it to sweet?

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? A: To answer your main question, you can bake very just about any type of fish  Q: Which fish has the most flavor? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is a popular side to go with salmon?
Output: No
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  Q: What are some sources of lecithine and xanthan? A: I buy mine online, don't know if there are brick-and-mortar B2C stores which sell them  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any kitchen ingredients that can be combined so as to make whipping cream?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Transfer of heat. First you need a hot pan (sprinkle some drops of water on the pan, it should sizzle). Then you add a drop of oil and swirl it around. When the oil forms a striated pattern, it's hot. Then you put the meat in.The hot oil helps to transfer heat from the bottom of the pan to the meat. You only need a spoonful of oil.  <sep>  Q: Why do people put oil/butter in the pan when frying ground beef? A: The hot oil helps to transfer heat from the bottom of the pan to the meat  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does it help with flavor?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Those at the store should be heavy and 2/3 full of milk or more. So shake them and listen, and also judge the weight, holding them in one hand.Once you buy a coconut, place it between a rock or three. Make one slice with a large heavy knife to remove the top and the top hull inside the outer hull. Pour out the milk and chill if you wish. Then cut the coconut in half. Scoop out the meat. It should be firm but soft. Place that on a plate or eat with your hands.When harvesting, after dropping a bunch of coconuts, you select the ones whose outer hull is 1/3 to 1/4 brown. Those you sell locally. The green ones you take to the road to sell to the waiting trucks. Those are for shipment. All extra coconuts should be saved for making coconut rum. The outer and inner hulls are saved for cooking and coconut charcoal. Any that drop from the tree and split open go into the rum also, or can be used as pig fodder.  <sep>  Q: How to choose coconut in supermarket? A: shake them and listen, and also judge the weight  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: a few times that when I bought a coconut in a supermarket it tasted like deep dish soap what sound should i listen for when shaking them?
Output: Yes
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? A: Removing the rubber band etc. prevents damage where it would cut into the veg  Q: Where should I keep them (in the fridge, out on the counter, in a bag)? A: store that wrapped bundle in a flimsy plastic bag (maybe the one you brought them home from the supermarket in) in your refrigerator  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long will they stay good then?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It is not simply a matter of strong versus weak. Rather, different qualities are extracted from the coffee over different parts of the brewing process. The most volatile components are extracted early in the brew, and the less volatile components come out over the length of the brew.So the distribution of flavors varies over the brew. Total brew time is carefully calibrated in quality coffee makers to extract the most desirable flavors possible, and minimize the least desirable.By taking some out early, you are guaranteed a bad first cup, and are consigning the remainder of the pot to be less than it could be.For best quality, you should wait for the entire brew, so that the flavors are balanced from the entire brew time.  <sep>  Q: Which part of the coffee brew is best? A: For best quality, you should wait for the entire brew, so that the flavors are balanced from the entire brew time  Q: Is the coffee that is first dispensed from the machine the same quality as the coffee which is dispensed in the middle or end of the process? A: By taking some out early, you are guaranteed a bad first cup, and are consigning the remainder of the pot to be less than it could be  Q: Would the first cup be too strong? A: For best quality, you should wait for the entire brew  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Sometimes at work, I don't feel like waiting for 10 cups to brew, is that a problem?
