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  Q: It won't get frostbitten if it is in the freezer for over a month? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What if I wanted a fresh turkey, when is the best time to purchase one of them?
Output: No
CONTEXT: In Britain (and France), the large purple varieties are known as aubergines. Other (pale and/or small) varieties aren't usually found outside of Asian supermarkets, where I imagine they are still referred to as brinjal.The name 'eggplant' is used in the US, Canada, and the Antipodes, mainly because the lighter varieties are more common there, which arguably have the colour of eggshell.They are, however, all just different varieties of the same plant, like yellow and red tomatoes.  <sep>  Q: What are purple small Brinjals called in English? A: In Britain (and France), the large purple varieties are known as aubergines  Q: There are white and green Brinjals too. Do they have a different name? A: Other (pale and/or small) varieties aren't usually found outside of Asian supermarkets, where I imagine they are still referred to as brinjal  Q: What is the American English word for brinjals/aubergines? A: The name 'eggplant' is used in the US  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why is the name different?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Differences are mainly a question of origin. Speck comes from Tyrol (it actually means "bacon" in german, which is misleading) and is prepared with a specific blend of spices, usually including juniper, Jamon Serrano from Spain (it means "mountain ham" in spanish) and is a dry-cured ham, and prosciutto just means "ham" in italian.There are plenty of differences in flavor, consistency and aspect, depending on the difference of preparation: ripening, spices and herbs and so on.  <sep>  Q: What's the difference between Prosciutto and Speck? A: Differences are mainly a question of origin  Q: What about Jamon Serrano? A: Jamon Serrano from Spain (it means "mountain ham" in spanish  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are they all the same part of a pig?
Output: No
CONTEXT: On the question of dry ice, yes...it makes excellent ice cream using a kitchen aid and the beater in the standard bowl. It is best if you pulverize the dry ice in a blender first. You will want to avoid using too much (your base will become carbonated, but you can allow it to off-gas). Add a little at a time until the appropriate texture is achieved. Make sure it is not possible for someone to eat a chunk of dry ice!  <sep>  Q: Is it possible to make salty avocado Ice Cream without a machine? A: dry ice, yes...it makes excellent ice cream using a kitchen aid and the beater in the standard bowl  Q: Should I use the ice cream maker attachment on the kitchen aid? A: It is best if you pulverize the dry ice in a blender first  Q: Does the dry ice go into the bowl or is on the outside of the bowl? A: Add a little at a time until the appropriate texture is achieved  Q: How much dry ice do I need to start with? A: You will want to avoid using too much (your base will become carbonated  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any additional ways to make this that don't call for a kitchen aid?
Output: No
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 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: Aside from transfer of heat from the bottom of the pan to the meat, Is it used for pans that are non stick?
Output: No
CONTEXT: If it's cast iron, and you're really paranoid about it, just stick it in the oven, run a clean cycle, then re-season. Cast iron can withstand stupidly large amounts of heat: in traditional Chinese cookery, woks are cleaned by building a big fire, and throwing them in...When the fire burns out, you dig out your wok, re-season, and you're back in business.If it's stainless, just stick it in the dishwasher.  <sep>  Q: How can I clean my filthy cast-iron frying pan? A: If it's cast iron, and you're really paranoid about it, just stick it in the oven, run a clean cycle, then re-season  Q: Wouldn't the heat harm this cast-iron frying pan? A: Cast iron can withstand stupidly large amounts of heat: in traditional Chinese cookery, woks are cleaned by building a big fire, and throwing them in  Q: Can I re-season it? A: then re-season  Q: Would I clean the frying pan the same way if it were stainless steel? A: If it's stainless, just stick it in the dishwasher  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would my pan be hurt if I soaked it in bleach?
Output: No
CONTEXT: The bottom of the 8" pan is a bit less than half the size. For a 2" deep-dish, there's a 2-inch high (if you take it to the top) 8Ï circumferential strip for another 16Ï, and presumably the 12" dough is for a flat pizza. At 32Ï .vs. 36Ï I'd do the whole box, unless your deep dish isn't really all that deep.I'm also a bit concerned about the "never used" cast iron pan needing some seasoning, but perhaps it's "lodge logic" pre-seasoned.  <sep>  Q: What kind of pizza crust mix for pizza with cast iron pan? A: For a 2" deep-dish, there's a 2-inch high (if you take it to the top) 8Ï circumferential strip for another 16Ï, and presumably the 12" dough is for a flat pizza  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are you familiar with Mantita's Italiano Pizza Crust Mix, I have a box of that?
Output: No
CONTEXT: For ramen, udon, and soba, it is not uncommon for Japanese restaurants to use multiple broths for layered flavors.My friend is from Yamagata in Japan and several of her favorite Udon places will make a sturdy broth with dashi as well as pork and chicken stocks. When I make noodles at home, I almost always start with dashi and fortify with chicken or pork stock. While the aroma of a good dashi is strong, often times it isn't solid enough to feel full-bodied. Try adding other stocks/broths and see where that gets you. Use neckbones and feet if you make your own pork stock.  <sep>  Q: I had delicious Udon soup at a Japanese restaurant, and my attempts to recreate have failed. what am I missing?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: There are two safe ways to defrost, one more rapid than the other.First method is to defrost in the refrigerator. This keeps temperature below 40 degrees F, in the safe zone. This will, also, take a while.Second method is to defrost in the sink under cold running water. The water doesn't have to run rapidly, but it should change regularly. This will defrost the fish more rapidly than in the air (water is a better conductor of heat than air) and will keep the fish in the danger zone for the shortest period of time. If you are not going to cook it immediately, then return to the refrigerator.If you are deep frying, there are some techniques that will allow you to go direct from frozen to fried, but that is generally done in a professional kitchen where they have powerful fryers that can take the temperature hit and come back strong.  <sep>  Q: How do you properly defrost frozen fish? A: in the refrigerator  Q: Can they just be left out on a work surface? A: There are two safe ways to defrost, one more rapid than the other  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: what temperature should the water be?
Output: No
CONTEXT: You are better off making the crumpets in advance and then reheating them. The rising agent in crumpets is usually bicarbonate of soda or baking powder, and so the batter can't be 'held' in the fridge like a yeasted batter - it would be very dense if you left it too long.So, make the crumpets, then reheat them. I'd suggest using the toaster - this is how crumpets are sold and prepared in the UK. Make sure you have plenty of salted butter on hand too!  <sep>  Q: Can I make crumpet batter in advance? A: You are better off making the crumpets in advance and then reheating them  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long do I reheat them?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: you know better than I do, it depends on the orange and type of orange. My mom, an executive chef, used to say that you'd allow 1-2 lb of oranges for 1 drinkable cup of orange juice. I really think, that it's highly dependent on the type of orange. I know naval and blood oranges are the juiciest compared to other varieties.  <sep>  Q: How much juice can you get from an orange?

CONTEXT: Generally speaking, maple syrup will work fine in any recipe that calls for honey. They may have slightly different viscosities and water content, but that could be true between two honeys as well, so I wouldn't worry about it a lot. The only thing I think you really have to consider is whether the flavor of maple syrup is appealing in the dish you would substitute it in. In most cases, I think it will be fine, especially if the dish would have worked well with a dark, fully flavored honey. You might also like to try sorghum syrup, molasses, or agave nectar as other possible replacements.  <sep>  Q: Can I replace honey with maple syrup in recipes that require honey? A: Generally speaking, maple syrup will work fine in any recipe that calls for honey  Q: Can I use it in Honey Shortbread Biscuits? A: The only thing I think you really have to consider is whether the flavor of maple syrup is appealing in the dish you would substitute it in  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you know how much syrup for how much honey?
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: Can you help me with recovering frozen vegetables from my crisper? A: I don't think there is really a way to "fix" this, once it happens  Q: Is there any way to salvage them for cooking? A: cooking does something similar to vegetables  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How do I prevent veggies from freezing in my crisper?
Output: No
CONTEXT: One of the first things I learned in Indian cooking is that the combination of tomatoes, onions and ginger is self-thickening. As time went by, I realised that the thickening effect is far more noticable with old varieties of tomatoes - "beef" tomatoes and a lot of the modern varieties are difficult to thicken unless partially fried first.Despite the absence of ginger, I suspect that the thickening is purely a natural action between the tomatoes and the onion, and that the tomatoes used were some particularly nice old variety.  <sep>  Q: Why did my tomato soup turn thick and brownish? A: One of the first things I learned in Indian cooking is that the combination of tomatoes, onions and ginger is self-thickening  Q: The above combination with garlic, onions, spices can't be all wrong, can it? A: beef" tomatoes and a lot of the modern varieties are difficult to thicken unless partially fried first  Q: What went wrong with the color? A: Despite the absence of ginger, I suspect that the thickening is purely a natural action between the tomatoes and the onion, and that the tomatoes used were some particularly nice old variety  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: the soup thickened (a bit like jelly) can I thin this out?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Without forensics it's hard to tell exactly what happened.However, one possible explanation is sunlight. If the watermelon was in the sun at all, even just a little part of it, that tends to accelerate the growth of all sorts of things.Another possibility is that it was just past its date. There isn't really a way to tell if this is near or not without chemical analysis.In watermelon country (I live near an ancient greek watermelon port) watermelon is generally refrigerated. This is partially because we find it tastier when it's cold, and partially because room temperature easily goes above 30, and even above 34-5 on certain days.  <sep>  Q: What causes watermelon rind to rot? A: Without forensics it's hard to tell exactly what happened.However, one possible explanation is sunlight  Q: How should I best store the watermelon so that it doesn't rot? A: In watermelon country (I live near an ancient greek watermelon port) watermelon is generally refrigerated  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it alright to keep a whoel watermelon on my kitchen table?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: It's my opinion that the "proper temperature" is a number set by lawyers, not by chefs. The government standard for a roast bird is 180Â°F (83Â°C)! Are you kidding me? HTST pasteurization is 161Â°F (72Â°C) for 20 seconds, but my turkey has to get to 180Â°F for safe human consumtion? What the hell kind of bacteria do they think live in there?165Â°F (74Â°C) is a common number, and a pretty decent one, though I always take mine out before that for the reason below.You need to remember that the internal temperature of the bird will continue to rise for a while after you take it out of the oven: the heat on the outside is still migrating inward. If you wait to take it out until the internal temperature is the "right" temperature, by the time it peaks, it'll be 10Â°F (~5Â°C) HIGHER than the right temperature, and that's in the dry zone. We're talking 190Â°F (88Â°C) thanksgiving football. Blech.Dark meat almost always handles being overcooked better than lighter meat. The breast is the hardest part of the turkey to cook correctly. If you haggle with the temperature, and your white meat is still on the dry side, you might try brining the bird for 24 hours or so. It makes a big difference in terms of juiciness.  <sep>  Q: Why does my chicken breast become so dry? A: Dark meat almost always handles being overcooked better than lighter meat. The breast is the hardest part of the turkey to cook correctly  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why would the breast be the hardest part to cook?
Output: Yes
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? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How many times can I steep them?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Save the veggies in a freezer bag or air-tight bowl (in the freezer) and when it's full you've got most of vegetable soup without it taking so long.Additional veggies that taste amazing after being slow-cooked with meat for 12 hours: rather, ask, Are there any veggies that won't taste amazing?  <sep>  Q: How can I use leftover vegetables from the slow cooker? A: Save the veggies in a freezer bag or air-tight bowl (in the freezer  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What if I don't want to freeze them?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Allowing dough to rise twice results in a finer gluten structure than allowing it to rise once. It results in a smaller crumb and prevents huge gaping airholes in your bread. The reason that you have to let it re-rise is that you just pushed all the air out with the kneading you did developing that gluten structure.  <sep>  Q: Why let dough rise twice? A: Allowing dough to rise twice results in a finer gluten structure than allowing it to rise once  Q: When making bread, why do recipes say to let the dough rise twice instead of once?###How does a firmer gluten texture help? A: The reason that you have to let it re-rise is that you just pushed all the air out with the kneading you did developing that gluten structure  Q: What would happen if I let the dough rise for a much longer or shorter time? A: It results in a smaller crumb and prevents huge gaping airholes in your bread  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can I let it rise in the fridge the second time or only on the counter?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Soy sauce, sake or mirin and sugar are the usual ingredients in a teriyaki sauce. The rice wines in particular are vital for an authentic teriyaki flavour.So the question is somewhat moot: onions aren't usually found in teriyaki sauce anyway. The onions naturally add flavour to your marinade: if you like it, leave them in, if you don't, take them out. The onions won't have any major chemical effect on the marination process.Personally I would ditch the olive oil, replace it with toasted sesame oil and add garlic and ginger for a more rounded and authentically flavoured East Asian marinade.  <sep>  Q: What's the use of onions in teriyaki sauce? A: Soy sauce, sake or mirin and sugar are the usual ingredients in a teriyaki sauce  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why are onions usually not included?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Unfortunately, the above answers would probably be good for fresh tortellini, or frozen or something like that. Following the advice, I had the dried tortellini floating on the surface within a minute or two, puffed a little too. I fished one out, and it was definitely hard. I let them boil for another five minutes and they were barely edible, some even a little crunchy in places.Last week I managed to hunt down the bulk package at the market (used to fill the bin), and there were directions on it: Boiling time: 15-18 minutes. And yes, since the boiling water cooled down to simmer as I added them. In 15 minutes they were still a little al dente but after another 4 minutes they were entirely soft, and just right.  <sep>  Q: How to prepare dried tortellini?
Output: No
CONTEXT: No, the fat will not render at about 50 C (122 F).However, you said core temperature, which implies the surface temperature will be higher assuming you are not cooking in a 50 C oven (which you should not, for safety reasons). If you are pre-cooking the steak at, for example 120 C (250 F), the surface will be hotter by the time the center reaches your target temperature, so you may get some rendering.Still, there is a quite simple answer: trim the excess fat. What remains should char and develop a good flavor when you sear it on the grill.  <sep>  Q: will the fats render when the steak is being slow cooked at low temperatures? A: the fat will not render at about 50 C (122 F  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: When will fat render ?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Adding herbs directly to baked goods usually results in very strong flavours. Infusing the sugar with the herbs gives a more subtle overtone rather than a full-on explosion. In some cases, of course, you might want a strong herb flavour, but where you just want a hint, infusing the sugar is great. The classic example is using stripped vanilla pods to make vanilla sugar, which adds subtle vanilla tones to cakes and meringues.  <sep>  Q: When and why would one infuse flavor into sugar for baking? A: where you just want a hint, infusing the sugar is great  Q: Why not just add the ingredient directly into the recipe? A: The classic example is using stripped vanilla pods to make vanilla sugar  Q: How do you do it? A: o make vanilla sugar  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Could you do something like that to infuse peppermint into marshmallows?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I often use this technique at home to cook proteins. It shortens cooking time by using steam as a heat transfer medium to cook the top of the item at the same time as the bottom.You can also use this method on frittatas, dumplings, etc.You can also use flavored liquids to impart flavor as well. I particularly like hard cider with chicken and pork.  <sep>  Q: Why do fry cooks use water to cook burgers? A: It shortens cooking time by using steam as a heat transfer medium to cook the top of the item at the same time as the bottom  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there another reason besides cook time that they use water?
Output: Yes
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  Q: Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of when cooking with truffles? A: white truffles are usually only used shaved raw over a dish  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How carefully should I treat the truffles when handling them?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Yes, ceramic knives are the "new thing," but that doesn't make them superior. The problem with ceramic knives is that you can never sharpen them, and, as mentioned in the comments, they may chip. Don't get a ceramic chef's knife or paring knife; the answer to your question is zero.If you really want a ceramic knife, then buy a ceramic bread knife, although you won't be getting any extra performance for the money.Ceramic blade mandolines, however, are great. The ceramic blade will be sharper and hold the edge longer than a steel mandoline, and since you don't sharpen a mandoline anyway, it doesn't matter that ceramic doesn't sharpen. Note, a separate, and good, question would be "what knives do I need?" The answer is it depends, but I concur that you should not buy a "set" of knives.  <sep>  Q: How many ceramic knives do I need? A: the answer to your question is zero  Q: I like new things, I know, so budgetnotwithstanding, do I want a full set if I can get one? A: Note, a separate, and good, question would be "what knives do I need?" The answer is it depends, but I concur that you should not buy a "set" of knives  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What sort do you use on a daily basis? (big, small, serrated...)
Output: No
CONTEXT: Preheat the pan for longer than you expect, then preheat the oil as well. Cast iron takes a long time to heat up. With some foods you can get away with not preheating so it may seem silly to just let the pan sit on the burner with nothing else happening, but the potatoes will test your patience because of how much they can stick to pans.Once you add the potatoes to the hot pan with hot oil, let them sit. They will go thru a stage of raw -> starting to cook -> cooked and starting to brown but sticking -> deliciously brown and movable from the pan.  <sep>  Q: Frying potatoes in cast iron pan and they keep on sticking, how can I stop this? A: Preheat the pan for longer than you expect, then preheat the oil as well  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I have no trouble with any other kind of food sticking, why do potatoes do this?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I would say it depends. I find once you freeze an item the flavor/texture/propeties of the item is changed (for better or for worse) the next time you goto use it.If your using caramelized onions in a soup, or stew, something where flavors blend together for a longer period of time, then yes go ahead.however if your using the caramelized onions on top of a steak or something similar. Then my answer would be no.  <sep>  Q: Can I freeze caramelised onions? A: I would say it depends. I find once you freeze an item the flavor/texture/propeties of the item is changed (for better or for worse) the next time you goto use it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do boiled eggs keep after I boil them or do I have to use them immediately?

CONTEXT: Yes, you should store them in a air-tight jar, and the best is to store the jar in a cool place in the house. The fridge is to moist for storing cupcakes. You can store them in the jar for about 3-4 days, but they won't taste fresh any more. So I would suggest if you want to store them longer then 1 or maybe 2 days, freeze them right after they cooled down from baking. If you use a topping, you can top your cupcakes when they are thawed.  <sep>  Q: How to best store cupcakes? A: you should store them in a air-tight jar, and the best is to store the jar in a cool place in the house  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: When I put them in the fridge, they developed a kind of a moist surface by the next day. Should I just leave them outside in an air-tight jar?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: If you were using supermarket cream, the reason would be very clear: it is not only pasteurized, but also homogenized. This means that it has been mechanically emulsified to prevent the butter from separating. I don't know if the cream for creme fraiche is homogenized too before creme fraiche is made, but with your result, I'd suspect homogenization too. It won't show up on the label as an ingredient, as it is done by forcing the cream through microfilters.  <sep>  Q: Why might I have trouble making butter from CrÃ¨me FraÃ®che? A: If you were using supermarket cream, the reason would be very clear: it is not only pasteurized, but also homogenized  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: ahh, that makes sense. what would i want to use to make sure it comes out right?
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  Q: Is there a general rule of thumb for how pepper sauces are made in regards to the SHU levels they achieve?

CONTEXT: Apparently the chicken haddie plant had fire damage and we have not been able to buy it for over a year now in New Brunswick, Canada. I too grew up with it for making the best fish cakes. Anyway, the plant is up and running again as of January 2012 and I've been buying at Sobeys.  <sep>  Q: Is the Chicken Haddis salty?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I wouldn't say 'hazardous', but there's additional risk.You basically need to take the fully cooked bird, and cool it down quickly so it doesn't spend too long in the 'danger zone'. And the same for the stuffing.Then you have to reheat them back up to a safe temperature ... the stuffing you can add extra liquid to, and make sure it gets up to the necessary temperature, but the turkey itelf is going to be difficult to reheat without drying out (maybe if it were brined it'd be better, but still less than ideal).I'd say in all, you'd save some time the day of, but the total time spent is going to be much longer, there's an increased risk of food-related illness, and there's an overall lower quality.If the main interest is in reducing cooking time, I'd start with not stuffing the bird. I'd also make sure that it's well thawed in advance (too many people leave it for the night before). If you really wanted to reduce time, you might be able to butterfly the bird, but it'd then be too wide for most ovens. (maybe do it on two trays?)  <sep>  Q: Is it safe to fully cook a stuffed turkey the night before thanksgiving? A: I wouldn't say 'hazardous', but there's additional risk  Q: What are the additional risks? A: You basically need to take the fully cooked bird, and cool it down quickly so it doesn't spend too long in the 'danger zone  Q: Is there any other suggestions or recommendations? A: Then you have to reheat them back up to a safe temperature  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the safe temperature to heat them up to?

CONTEXT: What country are you in?Every country has some edible insects. Most are terrible. some are toxic, or have toxic parts that must be removed first. This knowledge is hard won, and not readily available. Traditional local people are your best source of information (though the Coke and McD's culture has killed that in most parts of the world)In New Zealand they have the Huhu grub, and in Australia the Witchetty grub. Both of which are edible raw or cooked (roasted on hot coals for a few minutes). They have slightly nutty flavoursThese are both soft wood eating larvae around 5 to 10 cm in length, quite plump and juicy. Such insects can be found around the world. But not all are edible  <sep>  Q: Can we cook insects for eating? A: Every country has some edible insects. Most are terrible. some are toxic, or have toxic parts that must be removed first  Q: So, what types of insects can I cook? A: In New Zealand they have the Huhu grub, and in Australia the Witchetty grub. Both of which are edible raw or cooked  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: So, can you mix various insects together while cooking?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Butter is at most 82% oil and the rest is water. So, you're going to need to add more butter for the same amount of oil. Besides, you need to adjust the liquid content accordingly since you are going to have more water than you planned.If you are going to use the same amount of oil, then it will not make any difference other than the taste. Just make sure they are of same state (i.e. melted butter instead of vegetable oil or vice versa)  <sep>  Q: I love making baked goods an was wondering if I can substitute butter for oil? A: Butter is at most 82% oil and the rest is water. So, you're going to need to add more butter for the same amount of oil  Q: How much more butter would I need to add in order to make it equal to oil? A: If you are going to use the same amount of oil, then it will not make any difference other than the taste. Just make sure they are of same state (i.e. melted butter instead of vegetable oil  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does the type of oil normally used effect the amount of butter I need to substitute?
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: What is they have black parts on them?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Apparently the chicken haddie plant had fire damage and we have not been able to buy it for over a year now in New Brunswick, Canada. I too grew up with it for making the best fish cakes. Anyway, the plant is up and running again as of January 2012 and I've been buying at Sobeys.  <sep>  Q: Do you know of a brand of chicken haddis similar to Brunswick? A: Sobeys  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What would be another recipe for chicken haddis?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I wouldn't say 'hazardous', but there's additional risk.You basically need to take the fully cooked bird, and cool it down quickly so it doesn't spend too long in the 'danger zone'. And the same for the stuffing.Then you have to reheat them back up to a safe temperature ... the stuffing you can add extra liquid to, and make sure it gets up to the necessary temperature, but the turkey itelf is going to be difficult to reheat without drying out (maybe if it were brined it'd be better, but still less than ideal).I'd say in all, you'd save some time the day of, but the total time spent is going to be much longer, there's an increased risk of food-related illness, and there's an overall lower quality.If the main interest is in reducing cooking time, I'd start with not stuffing the bird. I'd also make sure that it's well thawed in advance (too many people leave it for the night before). If you really wanted to reduce time, you might be able to butterfly the bird, but it'd then be too wide for most ovens. (maybe do it on two trays?)  <sep>  Q: Is it safe to fully cook a stuffed turkey the night before thanksgiving? A: I wouldn't say 'hazardous', but there's additional risk  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Hello?###What are the additional risks?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: In short, using port as a substitute for red wine will not wreck the dish.Though the flavour is different (and richer) and will make your bolognese taste different as a result, the taste should not be bad. I frequently do this as I am not a red wine drinker, and port keeps far better in an open bottle. I would recommend using slightly less than when using red wine, but this is highly subjective.  <sep>  Q: Will swapping the red wine in my spaghetti bolognese with port wreck the dish? A: using port as a substitute for red wine will not wreck the dish  Q: Should I halve the quantity? A: I would recommend using slightly less than when using red wine  Q: Will it make it too sweet? A: but this is highly subjective  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there other substitutions I could try?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Generally speaking, frying gives a better crust due to the higher direct heat producing more Maillard flavours. A good, heavy, screaming hot pan is required. Oil the steak, not the pan, with vegetable or groundnut oil (olive oil will burn), and baste with butter towards the end for extra flavour.If your steak is thick, you might try a reverse sear - roast the steak at about 150Â°C until the centre is 10Â°C off your desired doneness level (if you don't have a digital probe thermometer, invest the small amount they cost, it is completely worth it), then sear the outside on your mega hot pan. This avoids you having to overdo the outside just to get the inside right.  <sep>  Q: Is it better to fry or grill a steak? A: frying  Q: What are the benefits of frying a steak? A: frying gives a better crust due to the higher direct heat producing more Maillard flavours  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How hot would the pan have to be?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: So, just answering the new part of the question:You can simply season "over the top" of the existing seasoning. To do this, you'd go through the normal seasoning process, wiping the pan with oil, heating in a 500F oven, wiping again, heating again. This will fill in the "holes" in your seasoning and you'll be able to use the pan again.However, you will also end up with somewhat rough, uneven seasoning on the bottom. This will make things more likely to stick than if you completely reseasoned the pan. You can improve this by scrubbing the bottom of the pan with a mixture of course salt and oil. This will "sand down" the seasoning without completely removing it.You should also ask yourself if maybe the original seasoning of the pan wasn't faulty, given that some of it already scrubbed off.  <sep>  Q: Is there a way to re-season a cast iron pan if I scrubbed it all off? A: You can simply season "over the top" of the existing seasoning  Q: how would I do that? A: To do this, you'd go through the normal seasoning process, wiping the pan with oil, heating in a 500F oven, wiping again, heating again  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: For how long do I heat?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Your metal bowl sitting in your 70Â°F room is 70Â°F (at least, if its been sitting there for a bit). Your plastic bowl, or glass bowl, or ceramic bowl, or any other bowl sitting in the same room is also 70Â°F. They're all actually the same temperature.Now, given, when you touch the metal bowl, it feels cooler than the plastic one. This is because your finger isn't 70Â°F, and your body heat is transferred away quicker by metal than (say) plastic.If the dough is room temperature, it won't matterâheat isn't flowing out of it. The dough itself doesn't generate much heat. If your dough started above room temperature, it will cool a little quicker in a metal bowl. But, if you wanted to keep it from cooling, putting it in a warm place is much more effective.A stainless steel bowl is fine. I'd avoid aluminum (and copper, if anyone makes a mixer with such a thing) due to them being reactive, especially if you're making sourdough.  <sep>  Q: Can I let my bread dough rise in the mixer bowl? A: A stainless steel bowl is fine. I'd avoid aluminum (and copper, if anyone makes a mixer with such a thing) due to them being reactive, especially if you're making sourdough.  Q: Does the metal effect how fast the dough rises? A: If your dough started above room temperature, it will cool a little quicker in a metal bowl. But, if you wanted to keep it from cooling, putting it in a warm place is much more effective  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should the dough rise ideally?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Yes, ceramic knives are the "new thing," but that doesn't make them superior. The problem with ceramic knives is that you can never sharpen them, and, as mentioned in the comments, they may chip. Don't get a ceramic chef's knife or paring knife; the answer to your question is zero.If you really want a ceramic knife, then buy a ceramic bread knife, although you won't be getting any extra performance for the money.Ceramic blade mandolines, however, are great. The ceramic blade will be sharper and hold the edge longer than a steel mandoline, and since you don't sharpen a mandoline anyway, it doesn't matter that ceramic doesn't sharpen. Note, a separate, and good, question would be "what knives do I need?" The answer is it depends, but I concur that you should not buy a "set" of knives.  <sep>  Q: How many ceramic knives do I need? A: the answer to your question is zero  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I like new things, I know, so budgetnotwithstanding, do I want a full set if I can get one?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: There are several variables that need to be considered to properly and safely dry cure meat...temperature, humidity, ph level, for example. Just on the topic of moisture loss, however...you will not be able to tell simply by looking. People who do this for a living can tell by touching...most of us weigh our product before hanging. In general, when there is a 30% reduction in weight, the meat is properly cured (given that all of the other variables have been properly dealt with).Meat getting harder means it is drying, however it could be drying too fast. In this case the outside will dry before the inside has a chance to. If this is the case, the meat will not be pleasant to eat, but more importantly you could have a potential safety issue. Proper humidity and temperature will help control this....around 60 degrees F (15 C) and 60 - 70 percent humidity.As far as salt goes, be sure to use some sort of curing salt.I recommend reading up on the process. Many things can go wrong and you can make you and your guests sick very easily.  <sep>  Q: When curing meat I noticed I lose all the water in two days. Since there is no liquid does that mean I am done curing? A: There are several variables that need to be considered to properly and safely dry cure meat  Q: My meat is red and hard as the days go by. It that one of the signs? A: Meat getting harder means it is drying, however it could be drying too fast  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should the cure take?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Anything susceptible to moisture will go stale if exposed to air long enough. Storage will only get you so far, depending on the temperature and humidity in the storage area. In a restaurant kitchen, I don't have to tell you that both are rather high.I'd suggest blanching them after cutting. You could basically cook them through then store them in a relatively air-tight container for a period of several days. When a customer orders chips you'd just drop the blanched chips in the deep fryer long enough to brown and crisp them. This is what essentially every restaurant outfit that serves chips and/or french fries does and it works well. Experiment with blanching temperatures and liquids to see what works best.  <sep>  Q: I was wondering what the best way to store my homemade potato chips? A: I'd suggest blanching them after cutting. You could basically cook them through then store them in a relatively air-tight container for a period of several days  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will this allow them to retain their crunch as well?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I love capers and add them to different foods when I think it suits it. I'd much rather eat tartar (not tarter) sauce with capers than pickles in it. But them I'm not a fan of tartar sauce (maybe because of the pickles). If you add capers, rinse them first to remove excess salt, pat water off between a paper towel and chop finely. I think a tiny bit of finely grated raw garlic would suit it nicely. Let the flavours meld together in the fridge for a few hours too.  <sep>  Q: Are capers a substitute for pickles in a tartar sauce? A: I'd much rather eat tartar (not tarter) sauce with capers than pickles in it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it true that the pickles gives an after taste?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I don't endorse beef in the microwave, but that said, the best possible way to cook it is going to be on one of the microwave plates that raise your food off the plate. (the ones that look like the inside of a george foreman grill) You are going to have to play with your power settings a bit to achieve a optimium patty. In mine, it's 2:30 at 40 percent power and 1:30 at full power but depending on wattage, your particular times are going to vary.The trick to having an edible patty come out of the microwave is use low power to achieve the desired temp and then hit it at full power to get the outside done. It will always produce a slimy-er patty than cooking it on a stovetop or in an oven. Make sure that you cover the patty during cooking as it is going to spatter like crazy. You don't want to clean that mess up.If you have access to a toaster oven, you can cook a patty in that in about 15 minutes and you will have a much closer to delicious product.  <sep>  Q: How do I cook a frozen hamburger in the microwave? A: the best possible way to cook it is going to be on one of the microwave plates that raise your food off the plate  Q: Look like what? A: the inside of a george foreman grill  Q: I bought some hamburgers (I mean the meat, not the full sandwich) in vacuum packing and I froze them in the freezer. Can now I cook them in the microwave? A: You are going to have to play with your power settings a bit to achieve a optimium patty  Q: Should I use Low heat, medium or high? A: In mine, it's 2:30 at 40 percent power and 1:30 at full power but depending on wattage, your particular times are going to vary  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is that medium to high heat then?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I would have tried using semolina, polenta, or grits. If the grind was too big you could always use a small coffee grinder to get it a bit finer.Corn muffin mix generally has other additives like sugar, baking powder or soda, so you probably wouldn't have wanted to use that on the outside of your bagels!  <sep>  Q: What can I use instead of cornmeal on bagels ? A: I would have tried using semolina, polenta, or grits. If the grind was too big you could always use a small coffee grinder to get it a bit finer  Q: Do you have any other tips for baking bagels ?
