CONTEXT: Guess my first instinct to heat some oil and fry it off was correct.Had the base in the fridge and instead of throwing it away thought I'd try it out, and it worked.Though there was still a hint of raw onion paste, it wasn't as bad as earlier, and could taste the other ingredients too.  <sep>  Q: How do I save a dish that tastes like raw onion paste?
Output: No
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: What causes gaps/holes in homemade bread? A: large pockets of air in the dough before you bake it  Q: How can I avoid them? A: try to make sure that you're not getting air trapped when rolling it  Q: How about with like cinnamon bread, it always leaves a big hole?

CONTEXT: Substitution in preserved foods are generally considered unsafe. Food chemistry is a complicated affair, and cooking is inherently imprecise. Sure, you can find a way to reduce the pH to that of the original recipe. But a salami is a fermented food. Your pH might be the same, but other things will change, for example the composition of the available sugars, and you can catch a different strain of bacteria. Safe preservation recipes have either been extensively tested in a lab, or used for centuries. Making a small change can destroy the delicate balance which leads to a tasty, safe food. The solution here is to look for another recipe, one which is safe but does not contain wine. For something as risky as cured meat, I'd suggest not getting some random recipe off the Internet, but choosing from a book, or maybe from the blog of a known, respectable author. This way, you get both good taste and safety, things which are hit-and-miss when making your own substitutions.  <sep>  Q: Are there any wine substitutions for homemade salami?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I would simply use whatever onions I had available! Red onions have a milder flavour than yellow onions (therefore red is usually preferred in salads) and obviously different colour but the difference is still small enough to interchange with no problem. Unless, of course, you desire a particular colour in the soup or are particular about the soup having a strong or mild flavour. Leek would make it even milder and sweeter. If I'd have to make a choice I would use yellow onions and spare the red ones for raw/decorative use.  <sep>  Q: Is there any reason against using red onion, or a mixture of red and yellow onions to make an onion soup? A: I would simply use whatever onions I had available  Q: Do you have a personal preference though? A: Red onions have a milder flavour than yellow onions  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Which are the best value for money?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: All of these are natural colorants but also impart a bit of flavor with them.For the raspberry layer you could use a tiny amount of beet juice to really kick the red.For yellow colors you have a few options. Saffron can work really well though I'm not sure what mango/lime/saffron tastes like. Another organic single ingredient is Achiote, which has an extremely mild sweet flavor. It's used for coloring mac and cheese and most processed cheese.Hope these ideas help.  <sep>  Q: How to make stronger colors in three part pannacotta?###I'd like to make more natural colors any suggestions? A: All of these are natural colorants but also impart a bit of flavor with them  Q: Is there some kind of fruit I can use?

Output: Yes
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 should I use the convection bake instead of the regular bake? A: 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  Q: Should I use it for everything, then? A: It is particularly good where you want the surface to brown, such as roasts and breads  Q: That is helpful to know! Is it good for roasting vegetables? A: e 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> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it helpful for things like cookies? I do a lot of baking
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Well, yes and no. A lot of recipes for semifreddo aren't truly semifreddo because they are hard frozen. Recipes like that can be fried just like ice cream. The key to fried ice cream is to hard freeze the scoops of ice cream. By definition, that isn't semifreddo, but definitions don't seem to matter much to writers of recipes. So, if the "stuff" is hard frozen, it can be coated and fried like fried ice cream. Perhaps after being deep fried, the name "semifreddo" is more apropos.  <sep>  Q: Can semifreddo be used in fried ice cream recipe? A: Well, yes and no. A lot of recipes for semifreddo aren't truly semifreddo because they are hard frozen  Q: Thank you. How does that affect the fried ice cream? A: if the "stuff" is hard frozen, it can be coated and fried like fried ice cream  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: That's okay. I was wondering how it may differ texture and taste-wise.
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: 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? A: I'd assume that the leaves would cook at a similar rate as spinich, and the ribs closer to fennel  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What other foods would you recommend I prepare with Bok Choy?
Output: No
CONTEXT: The word you want for research purposes is raitha - there are lots of ideas about how to make raitha.If you want a garlic flavour, the lazy way is to use the garlic paste you can buy in jars. The paste is ground so fine it will avoid the texture problems without any effort.The commonest flavours are mint or chilli, sometimes both together. Those get served with chopped onion, cucumber and tomato - or with papadoms/pappads.I find the most popular dipping versions result from the inclusion of a little mango chutney, Major Grey is good because it has ginger, too.  <sep>  Q: Do you know how to make a delicious yogurt sauce with yogurt/cream/mint/garlic?

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

CONTEXT: I may be wrong but I'll give it a shot.When you heat chicken (or any other muscle for that matter) it tenses up. As it tenses up it is essentially squeezing juices out, because all the fibres are closer together. Just think what happens when you slice a rare steak without letting it rest, there will be blood everywhere. In general I believe boiling anything is bad practice. A slow simmer maximum is required to retain all the desired qualities. Hence the saying "low and slow" which I take quite literally band apply to just about everything culinary wise. From cooking stew to proving bread, the longer the better. Edit:I wrote that then went in the shower and remembered pasta & potatoes, so maybe low and slow unless it's a starchy carbohydrate. Or if you are searing, but often a blazing hot seat is accompanied by a nice rest.  <sep>  Q: Why does my chicken go dry when I boil it? A: When you heat chicken (or any other muscle for that matter) it tenses up. As it tenses up it is essentially squeezing juices out, because all the fibres are closer togethe  Q: This may seem a silly question,###but it has always stricken me as odd that chicken should dry out when I boil it in water. A: In general I believe boiling anything is bad practice  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Intuitively it just seems weird, but thinking about this a bit while cooking just now, it also makes little sense to me from a basic physics point of view.
Output: Yes
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. If it's still gritty, either it's curdling or you need to use a better cheese.  <sep>  Q: How can I make cheap, smooth homemade Alfredo sauce? A: try melting the cheese on low heat in a very small amount of cream first, before you add it to the main sauce pan  Q: Is that with the pre-shredded cheese?

CONTEXT: I would keep the one that you are eating the next day out. I would then freeze the rest of them. If you like them warm, you could freeze them wrapped in foil. Before eating pop them in a toaster oven until gently warmed through. If not I'd freeze individually until solid then put in a bag to prevent your frozen bagels from sticking together, then thaw overnight (if eating in the morning) or in the morning (if eating for a mid-day meal) to eat.  <sep>  Q: How to store bagels?
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. Sp  Q: How big can they puff up?

CONTEXT: In the US, I normally see them marketed as "heirloom" tomatoes; I don't know if there are specific regulations in the UK or Finland that might have restrictions on the term's use. (like there now is in the US with "organic" )Because they weren't developed for industrialized farming, they didn't focus on breeding in traits that were desired for mass production -- size, round shape, bright color, shelf life, durability in transport.As such, there's a much wider variety, and they tend to be locally grown on small farms (as they don't tend to transport well, or be suitable for mechanized production). They might've been bred for sweetness, tartness, number of fruit per plant, disease resistance, etc, so you can't say that heirlooms necessarily taste better; a locally grown, picked that day non-heirloom tomato might taste just as good.To make this clear -- very few vegetables are produced in a truly 'uncontrolled' environment (maybe 'less controlled' environment)-- humans have been selecting for specific traits for centuries; it's just that the processes used were much less high-tech back then -- you saved the seeds from plants that produced what you liked, it's possible that some might've even been hand-pollinated to cross breed cultivars.)  <sep>  Q: What makes a tomato "heirloom"? A: They might've been bred for sweetness, tartness, number of fruit per plant, disease resistance  Q: What is the difference between heirloom and conventional tomatoes? A: they weren't developed for industrialized farming, they didn't focus on breeding in traits that were desired for mass production  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is heirloom the same as heritage?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Can't comment on the nutritional side of things, but the main reason I can think of for not always including it is that it has a slightly different flavour. A much more intense lemon flavour is provided by the zest while the juice has the more tart elements (and of course water).If you're just interested in avoiding waste, you can freeze the zest.  <sep>  Q: Are there any reasons not to include the zest when citrus juice is an ingredient? A: the main reason I can think of for not always including it is that it has a slightly different flavour  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How does the zest change the flavor?

CONTEXT: It won't turn bad, in fact it may make it last longer. You may have madeira-ized it (see below)Madeira wine is known for it's extended "shelf life" after opening because of it's unique process of being heated to as high as 60 degrees C (140 F).You may find that in the Campari some of the sugar may have crystalised. This may slightly affect the flavour, but it most certainly won't make it turn bad.  <sep>  Q: Do unopened bottles of Gin and Campari turn bad in extreme heat? I have just returned home and noticed I have left a bottle sitting in direct sunlight A: You may find that in the Campari some of the sugar may have crystalised. This may slightly affect the flavour, but it most certainly won't make it turn bad  Q: Would you suggest I put the Campari in the freezer? A: It won't turn bad, in fact it may make it last longer. You may have madeira-ized it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would I be able to add my own sugar in to the Campari if the sun damage has caused crystallisation to occur?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Browning your beef with some flour adds depth of flavor. The flour will act as a thickener, and by coating the meat with it you won't have problems with it clumping and getting little flour balls in your stew. However, unless you are browning the meat before adding to the cooker I would recommend you leave it out as uncooked flour might give your end dish a raw flour flavor. You can thicken it up at the end if you like with a cornstarch slurry.  <sep>  Q: Do I need to coat beef in flour mixture for slow cooked stew? A: Browning your beef with some flour adds depth of flavor. The flour will act as a thickener  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: do you have any other tips for a good stew?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: During blending, air is put into the milk mixture. Once you switch it off, not all air is kept inside the milk but makes it's way to the surface. These are the bubbles that make you think your milk is fizzy.Without being a chemist I assume full fat milk has more fat, therefore the emulsion is somewhat "thicker" and thus can hold the air better. There are also bubbles with full fat milk, but less than with skimmed milk. Sort of.  <sep>  Q: Why is the skimmed milk fizzy? A: During blending, air is put into the milk mixture. Once you switch it off, not all air is kept inside the milk but makes it's way to the surface  Q: Why does that not happen when using whole milk? A: Without being a chemist I assume full fat milk has more fat, therefore the emulsion is somewhat "thicker" and thus can hold the air better  Q: Is it normal to hear a fizzing sound coming from the bubbles? A: There are also bubbles with full fat milk, but less than with skimmed milk. Sort of  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does the speed of the blender have anything to do with creating the bubbles?
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 for a salad recipe? A: Fish sauce! I think the clam juice is probably already a substitute for fish sauce anyway, so it should make a very good substitute  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does it effect the flavor in any way?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Moist salts are naturally harvested sea salts from which not all the water has been removed. They are noticeably wet, often caking up or forming more of a "slush" than a powder.Some aficionados only believe that sea salt is "real" and "natural" if it is moist. Me, I have enough humidity in the apartment.  <sep>  Q: What is a "moist" salt?

CONTEXT: If you live in Poland, you should easily find the "normal" white ones in your supermarket. They should be good for baked beans, although the British version uses white beans that are a bit smaller. For more American style beans, you could also use the pinkish-brown or spotted type.There are so many types of beans, that I can't give a specific "name". Stick with the smaller ones, as they have less starchy parts and usually keep their shape better.  <sep>  Q: What bean species are best for baked beans?

CONTEXT: I'm not sure I've ever seen chipotle paste called for in recipes; I searched around a bit and what I found was consistent with my experience. I saw chipotle en adobo, ground chipotle, and even whole dried chipotle. I also easily found recipes for chipotle en adobo. I don't think you'll have any trouble figuring out what to do with them.The most common way I've seen chipotles, both in grocery stores and in recipes, is chipotle en adobo. You can make your own by simmering dried chipotles in tomato paste with vinegar, garlic, onion (search for recipes if that's not specific enough). I suspect that most chipotle pastes you might find are something like this, but pureed, and possibly cooked until thicker.The other common way to use chipotles is as a powder; that's as easy as grinding them in a spice grinder. If you're using them in something that gets cooked for a decent amount of time, I'd just do this and add them, instead of making chipotle en adobo or a paste out of them. Just think of them as a spice.  <sep>  Q: What can I do with dried chipotle chillies? A: The most common way I've seen chipotles, both in grocery stores and in recipes, is chipotle en adobo  Q: How can I make a sauce with them? Any good methods?

CONTEXT: Tender means soft and not brown. Sour cream will curdle if the fat content is not high enough (if it is high, it is called creme fraiche, techniquelly) and if you cook it down too much on too hot heat. Next time, use higher fat content and cook on lower heat. Cream, sour cream and creme freche are not really substitutions, not techniquelly and not taste-wise.Mixing butter and sour cream will work, if you take your time and boil down with hardly any or no bubbles.  <sep>  Q: Sauce made from butter and cream is flaking/curdling A: Tender means soft and not brown  Q: Why would my sauce currdle?

CONTEXT: If you heated the eggs above 160Â°F/70Â°C (and boiling is definitely above that), they're cooked, and any harmful bacteria has been killed. Can't say for sure that you did this without knowing the steps you performed.Given, if it doesn't taste good, and it was cheap ingredients... sounds like an argument to discard it anyway. Even if its perfectly safe.(Note: lower temperatures will also kill the bacteria, but it's no longer instantâyou may have to hold it for a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the temperature.)  <sep>  Q: How long should I cook it? A: you may have to hold it for a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the temperature  Q: What temperature should I cook it at?

CONTEXT: My own sugar cookie recipe is quite dry as well. It cracks along the edges when pressed or rolled and is easily "broken".I've never experienced a problem with the dough being so dry it doesn't take to cookie cutters, but if your dough is literally falling apart you may want to just spritz (or in the absence of a kitchen water spray bottle, sprinkle with your finger tips) cold water on it. (Like adding water to pie dough) Give it one sprinkle/spritz and kneed it in. Repeat until it just stops breaking. Don't go overboard and make it gooey.I'd use water over oil or milk because it's the least likely to change the structure of your cookie in the baking process. Such minuscule amounts of water shouldn't yield a detectable change in the end product.If this is a consistent problem with the recipe, in the future I'd decrease the flour by a tablespoon or two and see if that helps.  <sep>  Q: How can I fix my dry crumbly cookie dough? A: ou may want to just spritz (or in the absence of a kitchen water spray bottle, sprinkle with your finger tips) cold water on it  Q: What do I do when it's dry and cracking while I'm kneading it?

They can now slice up their own ham and turkey to their hearts' content.The slicer takes up space, but will pay for itself in a few months. We were getting deli slices for $8 - $10 per pound. Now I can get frozen turkey breast for ~ $3 - $4 per pound, roast, slice, and freeze the excess for future weeks. ;~)  <sep>  Q: I am looking for anything that would help younger kids with slicing?

CONTEXT: The term is not really defined that way. In the strict sense, it only has meaning for lean doughs - made of only flour, water, yeast and salt, eventually preferments or later mixins like seeds. You can extend it to enriched doughs (those that have fat, milk, eggs, tomato juice, etc.) but then it is no longer sharply defined. Calculating the exact content of water (e.g. adding to the calculation 17 g of water for every 100 g of butter) are pretty useless, because the water bound in an emulsion or other kind of colloid doesn't behave the same way as free water when making a dough. So, a dough with 100 g water and 100 g butter will be extremely different from a dough with 117 g of water, and still pretty different from one with 117 g of water and 83 g of oil. So, there is no real formula any more to create an actual percentage. The concept still stays somewhat useful in this case, but you have to "play it by ear". When you are trying to judge how soft a given enriched dough will be, you can start by calculating all the liquid and fat ingredients as if they were "hydration", which gives you a rough guide to compare it to other doughs, and then you have to make it and gain a tactile understanding of how it actually behaves.  <sep>  Q: What counts as "hydration" when figuring Dough Hydration? A: The term is not really defined that way. In the strict sense, it only has meaning for lean doughs - made of only flour, water, yeast and salt  Q: do we count things like sour cream, butter, milk, eggs? A: the water bound in an emulsion or other kind of colloid doesn't behave the same way as free water when making a dough  Q: Do we count just water/liquid? A: for lean doughs  Q: Does anything else factor in to the hydration of the dough? A: there is no real formula any more to create an actual percentage  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is one flour better than another when it comes to making dough?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I would strongly suggest not pouring cold or any other kind of water on pasta; it will rinse the delicious starches off its surface, which would otherwise help your sauce cling to it.To counteract the negative consequences of overcooking due to remaining heat (which, as belisarius suggests in his answer, is the reason other stuff is often rinsed with cold water), just serve it immediately. You want to have the sauce (hot and) ready just before your pasta is, so you can drain the pasta, mix with the sauce, and put it on the table.  <sep>  Q: Should I pour cold water on pasta after cooking it? A: I would strongly suggest not pouring cold or any other kind of water on pasta  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why is that?
Output: Yes
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: Instant espresso powder substitutions?

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. If it's still gritty, either it's curdling or you need to use a better cheese.  <sep>  Q: How can I make cheap, smooth homemade Alfredo sauce? A: try melting the cheese on low heat in a very small amount of cream  Q: What kind of cheese or cream do you use? A: Reggiano  Q: Can you tell me more about the Reggiano or what to do? A: try melting the cheese on low heat in a very small amount of cream first, before you add it to the main sauce pan  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Ok then what do I do?

CONTEXT: Short answer: No.Long answer: this could probably be made to work, but only for a short time. At some point, and probably within a few uses, the rapid heat cycling from the fire would cause the pizza stone to crack.Pizza stones are made from corderite or clay, sometimes with grog. This offers a smoother surface than firebrick, but that smooth surface is because of a higher amount of vitrification and less airspace in the ceramic. This means they are less resistant to cracking due thermal shock, and the fact that your pizza stone is 1/4 a thick as firebrick makes that worse.In contrast, firebrick is a standard 2.5" thick, and made from higher-temperature materials with more airspace in the clay itself. These properties give it both higher thermal insulation, and higher thermal mass (so that it cools down slower). Both of these properties help it resist cracking.  <sep>  Q: Pizza stone as floor pizza oven vs firebrick
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Convection-baking in a "convection microwave" is a bit like conventional baking in a toaster oven; it's more or less the same principle but you really can't expect the same results as a conventional oven (or full-size convection oven).That being said, if you're attempting the recipes in a convection microwave or even a real convection oven without any modifications, you may be using too high a temperature, or cooking for too long. The guideline for conversion (and this is just a guideline, not a rule or guarantee) is to subtract 25-30Â° F / 10-15Â° C from the temperature, and 25-30% from the cooking time.So, for example, if a recipe calls for baking at 350Â° F for 60 minutes, your first attempt in a convection oven should be 325Â° F for 45 minutes.Again, please keep in mind that a convection microwave is still fundamentally a microwave oven. No matter what their marketing claims say, it is not a substitute for a conventional/convection oven and you are not going to see equivalent performance.  <sep>  Q: Can you help with baking using a convection microwave? A: Convection-baking in a "convection microwave" is a bit like conventional baking in a toaster oven  Q: How do I bake things evenly?

CONTEXT: Not using standard practice might violate safety standards in a professional context.Technically, the important factor is whether the residues are made of something perfectly water soluble (sugar, salt, fat-free watery or alcoholic solutions, insoluble but not sticky solid particles...) or of something that is not water soluble and that will adhere to the dishes (about anything containing oils/fats). If you couldn't properly get it off your hands without soap, you won't get it off the dishes without soap.  <sep>  Q: Can some dishes be washed with only water?

CONTEXT: In the US, I normally see them marketed as "heirloom" tomatoes; I don't know if there are specific regulations in the UK or Finland that might have restrictions on the term's use. (like there now is in the US with "organic" )Because they weren't developed for industrialized farming, they didn't focus on breeding in traits that were desired for mass production -- size, round shape, bright color, shelf life, durability in transport.As such, there's a much wider variety, and they tend to be locally grown on small farms (as they don't tend to transport well, or be suitable for mechanized production). They might've been bred for sweetness, tartness, number of fruit per plant, disease resistance, etc, so you can't say that heirlooms necessarily taste better; a locally grown, picked that day non-heirloom tomato might taste just as good.To make this clear -- very few vegetables are produced in a truly 'uncontrolled' environment (maybe 'less controlled' environment)-- humans have been selecting for specific traits for centuries; it's just that the processes used were much less high-tech back then -- you saved the seeds from plants that produced what you liked, it's possible that some might've even been hand-pollinated to cross breed cultivars.)  <sep>  Q: What's good about Heirloom tomatoes?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Preheating the tea pot with hot water will also prevent the tea pot from cracking when you do add boiling hot water for the tea to steep in.I will say that I have a fairly thick-walled tea pot, I rarely preheat it, and I've never seen any danger of cracking. However, if I had a nice china pot, I would preheat it. Better safe than sorry!  <sep>  Q: Is it recommended to rinse the teapot with boiling water before putting the tea leaves in? A: Preheating the tea pot with hot water will also prevent the tea pot from cracking when you do add boiling hot water for the tea to steep in  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you personally notice a difference?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: When I make a paella I never cover it, I find it keeps in too much moisture. My uncovered method is to put the fish in and cook for 10 minutes. If my mussels are small I will usually wait 2-3 minutes before putting them in, bu for "standard" mussels 10 minutes seems to work well. I use a low-medium heat on a large burner.  <sep>  Q: How long to cook seafood in paella? A: burner  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long to cook mussels?

CONTEXT: I think you've answered your question yourself. You use the bean itself to make vanilla sugar, so obviously there is much flavour in it as well and not just in the seeds.My experience is that you get much more flavour out of the pod if you let it simmer in warm milk/fluid.  <sep>  Q: Is there really a difference by throwing the vanilla pod in as well? A: My experience is that you get much more flavour out of the pod if you let it simmer in warm milk/fluid  Q: is it better to use just the seeds not the whole pod? A: I think you've answered your question yourself. You use the bean itself to make vanilla sugar, so obviously there is much flavour in it as well and not just in the seeds  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: is there anything else you can tell me?

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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: and can i use the frozen food again after opening the package?
Output: No
CONTEXT: In theory chakki is a flour mill, and chakki atta is flour fresh from that mill. Realistically of course nothing you find on your grocery store shelves is fresh from a mill.Atta flour is made from hard wheat, which has a high gluten content. This means that your flour is probably better for bread than typical all-purpose whole wheat flour from the baking aisle. If it is hard white wheat this might explain the color, as ground white wheat doesn't look that much darker than all-purpose flour. Like typical grocery store whole wheat flour, atta flour is coarsely ground. This may give your bread a more grainy texture (not a bad thing), and makes atta unideal for cakes, biscuits, and quick breads unless you like them with a coarse texture in the crumb. If you would like to use whole wheat for baking other than bread, whole wheat pastry flour is the usual suggestion (or grind wheat yourself to a very find grind).  <sep>  Q: How is packaged chakki atta different from whole wheat flour? A: In theory chakki is a flour mill, and chakki atta is flour fresh from that mill. Realistically of course nothing you find on your grocery store shelves is fresh from a mill  Q: what kinds of things it is good for? A: Atta flour is made from hard wheat, which has a high gluten content  Q: Do I use it the same as whole wheat flour in recipes? A: If it is hard white wheat this might explain the color, as ground white wheat doesn't look that much darker than all-purpose flour  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why do they look so different?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Overly sour yogurt is a sign of inconsistent inoculationCheck the type of culture you are using, and ensure you are keeping the yogurt above 37C for more than six hours. The yogurt should finish as a solid lump that resists pouring, not a thick liquid, or a lumpy pastePouring off the whey and straining the yogurt makes it more creamy and taste sweeterThickeners are not required, just complete inoculationFor sweet yogurt dishes I mostly use sour berries (blackberry, raspberry etc) so it is expected to be somewhat sour anyway  <sep>  Q: How to reduce the natural sourness of homemade frozen yogurt? A: Pouring off the whey and straining the yogurt makes it more creamy and taste sweeter  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do I need to cook it to separate the whey out or just leave it to drain for a certain amount of time?
Output: Yes
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: Is it easier to roast whole unpeeled heads or peeled cloves? A: 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 head  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it still easier if I need to roast large quantities (50 cloves) of garlic?
Output: No
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: first of all make sure you are getting French or Italian truffles, not Chinese or Oregon  Q: What is wrong with Chinese or Oregon truffles? A: but they are quite a bit different  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What makes French and Italian truffles better?
Output: No
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? A: Use a substitute if you have an aversion - honey, agave, raw cane sugar, whatever you prefer  Q: Can I do a strawberry sorbet? A: strawberries are no exception  Q: Would I use frozen or fresh strawberries for a better result?###So agave would be the best healthy sweetener to add? A: 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  Q: Do you think lemon would make the sorbet bitter? A: Beyond that, either look for recipes, or look for mixed drinks containing the fruit you're using  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you think I would have to pulse the magic bullet as long with fresh strawberries?
