CONTEXT: The key difference from my perspective is cleaning. Silicone is the easiest material in my kitchen to scrub clean, with the possible exception of stainless steel. Cloth is very far down the list.Also, depending on the texture of the cloth, more food will almost certainly stick to the cloth, unless it's sealed with something, in which case what is it sealed with? And how is it sealing the fiberglass in?I use the kind with a thin grid of fibers inside the silicone. It adds more stability and lets the overall thickness be thinner for better heat transmission, compared to a plain silicone silpat. As long as I don't use it as a cutting board, the fiberglass stays safely inside. It does add a very slight grid texture to the bottom of loaves, but it's barely noticeable and doesn't look bad at all.The pyramid kind, which would reduce food contact and increase drainage and airflow, sounds like it would be good for specific applications, but not something I'd make a batch of cookies on.  <sep>  Q: What are the differences between cloth, fiberglass and silicone baking mats? A: Silicone is the easiest material in my kitchen to scrub clean, with the possible exception of stainless steel. Cloth is very far down the list  Q: Are there any benefits to cloth vs the others?

CONTEXT: Rinse the salsify first before using, that will help.Use a sharp peeler. Ive found that dull peelers create a lot more sap.as soon as you have peeled it, drop the salsify into acidulated water ( water + lemon juice). The acids help prevent the color change that occurs. Also wipe up the area with a damp cloth as you work. This will keep things clean and prevent your hands and everything you touch getting tacky.  <sep>  Q: How to prepare salsify (schwarzwurzeln) to minimise sap? A: Rinse the salsify first before using, that will help.Use a sharp peeler. Ive found that dull peelers create a lot more sap  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should I leave it in the water?
Output: No
CONTEXT: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart. Adding the liquid to the cheesecake will noticeably alter the texture, probably making it mushy; note that there aren't any water based ingredients in the recipe which you could substitute raspberry syrup for. I wouldn't recommend it. If you wanted to add raspberry flavor to a cheesecake, your best bet would be a raspberry pastry flavoring oil. If you didn't want to waste that liquid (and why would you,) just drizzle it on top of each slice as you serve it.  <sep>  Q: Can i substitute in frozen berries when my cheesecake recipe calls for fresh ones? A: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart  Q: What if I also wanted to add berry juice to add more berry flavor (and a nice color) would that work? A: I wouldn't recommend it. If you wanted to add raspberry flavor to a cheesecake, your best bet would be a raspberry pastry flavoring oil  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would the frozen berries affect the taste?
Output: No
CONTEXT: To prevent the sticking, you might want to use a spray oil, maybe even just on the foil before you put the vegetables and potatoes on. It's a tiny amount of oil, not enough to make things noticeably greasy, but will be pretty effective. Another spray over the top will make them brown a little more nicely and may even prevent a little drying out. Alternatively, you can just toss them all in a bowl with a small amount of oil; it really doesn't take much, and I'd hardly describe it as "covering with a lot of oil."As for preventing things from drying out, first and foremost, don't overcook them. Broccoli and onions both roast very nicely, but you definitely want to pull it out before it starts browning/burning too much. If you slice the potatoes thinly enough, they'll cook in roughly the same amount of time as the broccoli and onions. So if things are getting overcooked, just don't leave them in the oven as long.You can also always try covering them. Another sheet of foil over the top will trap a fair amount of moisture, letting them steam a bit and probably preventing some burning as well.(I suppose it's also possible that it's all drying out because you're cooking them too slowly, so they have plenty of time for moisture to escape, but that seems less likely given the way you described things.)  <sep>  Q: When I cook my meat, I usually bake or broil it, I basically use the oven. I like using the oven to make the side dish while baking the meat. Usually the side dish consists of a combination of sweet potatoes / yams, broccoli and onions. I slice the potatoes and make sure the broccoli pieces and onions are large enough so they will not overcook / burn. However, usually this combination ends up being really dry, and everything sticks to the aluminum foil. ###So im looking to bake side dishes, having problems with dryness A: To prevent the sticking, you might want to use a spray oil, maybe even just on the foil before you put the vegetables and potatoes on  Q: what kind of oil is best? A: Another spray over the top will make them brown a little more nicely and may even prevent a little drying out  Q: Do you know of any alternatives to prevent the dryness? A: preventing things from drying out, first and foremost, don't overcook them. Broccoli and onions both roast very nicely, but you definitely want to pull it out before it starts browning  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I might just have to revert to boiling the potatoes and broccoli, although I have never heard of boiling onions.
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: For the same reason that fast food burgers are often dry :) When beef hits high heat, the juices go in the opposite direction. This is why when pan-frying a steak, you know it's close to medium rare once you see the juices start to come through the top. The fat in burgers does the same thing, it moves away from the heat source, and back into the rest of the meat. That's just what happens when meat cooks and constricts. Many fast food joints use a double grill (you pull an inverted flat top down on top of the burger on the flat top). Whoops, there goes practically everything moist in the 3 or so minutes they cook them.Using steam, you make this a much gentler process. As the patty is cooking from the top and bottom and sides at once, but with a more gentle heat, the fat (and some juices) come out instead of going to hide on the other side of the patty that isn't on a heat source.  <sep>  Q: How does adding water to the pan help the burger become better ? A: Using steam, you make this a much gentler process. As the patty is cooking from the top and bottom and sides at once  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will the burger get too soggy if I add water ?
Output: No
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?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I thought that all electric fryers came with a mesh basket for the fries. If yours didn't, or if the mesh is coarse enough for the fries to fall through it, you could try to find another basket (I don't know if they are sold separately, but it is worth a try) or make some DIY solution by either suspending a big sieve in the fryer or lining the big-holed basket with fine steel mesh.  <sep>  Q: How do I prevent straw potatoes from sinking to the bottom of my electric fryer? A: try to find another basket  Q: I've used a mesh basket before, but the potatoes float right through the holes. Is there a way to stop this? A: you could try to find another basket (I don't know if they are sold separately, but it is worth a try  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would it be better to just fry only in a pan on the stove?

CONTEXT: Garlic will spoil faster in the fridge actually. I don't know how long it will last in the fridge, but I understand that it lasts longer if you leave it in a cool, dark, dry storage. I believe one reason is that your fridge is generally too humid. In my experience, garlic kept in the fridge is also more likely to develop mould (goes soft, and dark discolouration).I keep mine in a ceramic thing in one of my cupboards. It lasts anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on the garlic (probably how long it sat before getting to my kitchen). If you store it like that, garlic that goes "bad" will usually start to sprout (green shoots, will come through the top.  <sep>  Q: What is the shelf life of a garlic bulb, with the "skin" still on, left in the fridge?

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?

CONTEXT: I don't think this has a single answer: The amount of alcohol would depend on the alcohol content of the soaking liquor or liqueur, soaking time, temperature of chocolate, and how thick the strawberry was. I suspect uncut strawberries would take at least several days to fully absorb alcohol and reach equilibrium, but the surface should take up alcohol fairly quickly. If they are cut up, exposing the more porous interior, I imagine an overnight soak would be sufficient to reach maximum alcohol content. The enormous, bloated mutant strawberries you sometimes see at stores could take considerably longer than others to absorb their maximum alcohol. Alcohol is much more volatile than water, so the immersion in warm, melted chocolate would remove some alcohol, but once the chocolate cools, it should trap any remaining content.The flavor of alcohol is easily masked by other flavors at under 20% content; this could explain why your friend didn't taste it, but you did. It's quite possible the strawberries packed a sobriety-busting punch, but it was disguised by the chocolate and fruit tastes.  <sep>  Q: How much alcohol remains in strawberries soaked in alcohol? A: The amount of alcohol would depend on the alcohol content of the soaking liquor or liqueur, soaking time, temperature of chocolate, and how thick the strawberry was  Q: can you give me some t ips?

CONTEXT: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough. How hot was quite hot, how long could you hover your hand above the pan? Did you notice any change to the oil once you added it to the pan, did it streak, did it start to smoke?[Personally I tend to oil the meat before placing into the pan.]I think the main flaw is the frying for a minute on each side, at the temperature you had, that cooking time was too low. Maybe 2-4 minutes on each side. A medium should have a lot more heat penetrate the edges and allow that heat to transfer and cook the steak off the heat.That's an acceptable blue/rare steak though.  <sep>  Q: I have trouble cooking a steak 'medium', and to be honest, cooking it at all. My steak didn't turn out. What happened to my steak? A: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough  Q: Well, I heated a metal pan and added some oil when it was already quite hot put in the meat, It was 'glued' to the pan slightly - not hot enough?

CONTEXT: Unless you're straining the soup, I'd assume that the whole vs. cracked isn't going to be helpful in removing them, although I will admit that I can't recall seeing a recipe that called for whole peppercorns that didn't require cracking them.Part of the reason for whole pepercorns is the surface area -- if you crack it, you'll create more surface area, and for the same amount of pepper, there'd be more pepper flavor.It's also possible that there's a difference between the chemicals available in the outer hull of the peppercorn vs. the middle, but I don't know how you'd compare, simply because the cracked pepper would be more overpowering.  <sep>  Q: Why whole peppercorns?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The brown stringy fibers form in the avocado flesh after it is bruised or the avocado is past ripe.The way to avoid this is to plan ahead. Buy your avocados when they are green and very hard. Try to select ones that have not been abused (at least if you see one being knocked around, take a different one). When you get the avocados home, set them aside in a safe place for a couple/few days, & don't drop or manhandle them in the meantime. When they are ripe (yield slightly to gentle pressure, as they say) you have a couple days to use them. Putting them in the refrigerator can prolong their niceness a little bit if you are not quite ready to use them. Unless some mishap befell them before purchase, they should be beautiful and without those horrible stringy lesions.  <sep>  Q: How do I choose to avoid brown stringy fibres in avocado?###What is the best way to remove the brown stringy fibres in avocado?

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: If I need to pound chicken, what's the best way to do it that isn't messy?

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?

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: How can i avoid Frying potatoes in cast iron and sticking!

CONTEXT: This isn't the "quick" nor the healthy answer, but I personally do a twice-cooked system. I leave the juice from the can in the mix, and boil it down, which takes 15 minutes or so. Retaining the flavor of the canned fluid is essential, in my opinion.Then I "fry" the dry-ish mixture which is beginning to separate in maybe 1 tbsp preheated lard per can of beans, stirring a lot at first. Lastly, very slightly simmer this on low heat for 1 hour or so, stirring occasionally. Flavor is awesome. Any kinds of beans can be prepared in this way, and it is similar (varying on oil and legume variety) to other paste concoctions created elsewhere.. such as in the middle east.Note that this method negates the need for lots of "mashing". So, if you're more looking for less effort, than necessarily for "quick".. this could be your answer :)  <sep>  Q: How to quickly make refried beans (or thereabouts) using Kidney beans?

CONTEXT: Topside is quite a tough cut, so I'd tend towards a longer cooking time; as 'low and slow' as possible, really. With other meats, escalopes are usually made using leaner cuts, like chicken breast or pork tenderloin, which would be cooked relatively quickly, so I'm surprised your recipes call for topside.  <sep>  Q: How to properly prepare a beef escalope (from the topside)?

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?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Your clarification means a lot -- "baked" potato in the U.S. tends to be a whole potato cooked on its own, where the insides become fluffy and creamy, and is done with larger starchy white potatoes, or sweet potatoes work well, too.Roasted potatoes, on the other hand, tends to be (in the U.S.) be smaller "new" potatoes, waxy potatoes, or even larger starchy potatoes cut up (eg, 'oven fries').The starchy potatoes only really hold up well when roasting if it's very high heat or a short amount of time -- if you're going to be cooking them with the roast as there's going to be moisture in there, I'd go for a waxy potato (eg, Red Bliss).As for the browning -- probably coat them well with oil, and if they're not brown enough for your liking when you pull the roast, as you're going to have to rest it anyway, drain the meat juices, crank the oven up to somewhere around 450F (230C) and leave the potatoes in for a few extra minutes.ps. yes, I know a sweet potato isn't a potato. And I also tend to use Yukon Gold for just about everything, as it makes great baked potatoes, and roasted potatoes (although, not sure how well with a roast at the same time) and they're good in pot roast and stews if you don't add them too early.  <sep>  Q: What are the best potatoes for baking? A: I also tend to use Yukon Gold for just about everything, as it makes great baked potatoes  Q: Are those suitable for baking with a roast that will give a nice golden brown finish on the outside?

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: What's the easy way to spread peanut butter that is required to stay refrigerated?

CONTEXT: I can see this as being similar to a sweet potato pie. Best bet in that case would be to cook the carrots, then puree and mix with eggs, milk, etc. just as if it were a sweet potato or pumpkin pie.Two alternatives that come to mind would be to treat it like a fruit pie, as you say. Because of the texture of the carrots, I would grate them with the large holes on a box grater, toss with sugar, raisins, some tapioca and whatever spices your heart leads you toward.An alternative would be to make a molded gelatin like pie, similar to a refrigerator lime pie. Lots of gelatin and grated carrots. I, personally, wouldn't like it, but I am not fond of jello with carrots in it either.Happy experimenting.  <sep>  Q: I want to experiment with making a carrot pie, but should I make the filling a custard-style or a stew-style?

CONTEXT: If the flour is self-rising flour, then it shouldn't be allowed to sit for too long. However, this wouldn't result in it being "impossible to pour" - it would just prevent the item(s) from rising properly when baked.If I had to guess, I would point to the chocolate as the culprit. If your batter/dough recipe uses melted chocolate (as opposed to just cocoa powder) then it is almost certainly going to solidify again as it cools. In which case, you can simply heat it again (gently - you don't want cook the eggs!) to loosen it up a little before pouring it.  <sep>  Q: Can brownie dough sit?

CONTEXT: If a lid doesn't have a vent and the pot does not have any sort of locking mechanism like a pressure cooker, then the pressure of the steam inside will lift the lid off the pot and steam will escape. That was the "dancing" of the lid that you experienced. Venting holes in a lid just let some steam escape so the lid doesn't bang around, having a vent hole or not wouldn't make your idli's sticky.  <sep>  Q: Must a lid for a pot used for steaming be vented?

CONTEXT: I recently found a different sauce that had a similar butterscotch note to it. It turned out this one was a very simple pan sauce built with brandy and beef stock as a deglazing liquid which was allowed to reduce by about 2/3 and then it was finished with a hint of cream.The fond came from a steak cooked in butter so there was probably a little browned butter in there as well.At this point I think the reduced brandy is a big contributor to the flavor I was identifying as butterscotch. This makes sense as brandy is generally somewhat sweet and usually has fairly strong caramel notes.  <sep>  Q: How do i develop a butterscotch flavor in a savory sauce?

CONTEXT: I'd suggest skinless bone-in chicken thighs, as they have plenty of fat and collagen to keep them moist and tasty. I've cooked them in French-style wine-based stews, not to mention cacciatorre, for 2-3 hours before now and they just fall off the bone. It is virtually impossible to overcook them, unless you boil them mercilessly for hours. Just get a nice gentle simmer going - not only will this make the meat tender, but it will improve the flavour of the tomato sauce as well.Do not use chicken breast - it is far too lean.  <sep>  Q: what is a Substitution for beef (veal) in a stew?

CONTEXT: Some of the volatile flavors will be diminished, but I've managed to make fairly good drinks with the help of mint that I kept frozen. In my experience, freezer burn starts to become visible after two or three months, and starts to harm flavor probably around 4-6 months.I'm not sure preparing the drink will work really well, but if you just defrost the drink in the refrigerator, it probably won't be terrible. Active thawing with heat will probably cause some harm. Many infusions and teas become a bit cloudy and lose color after bottling or freezing, which is why most bottled teas use an enzyme (not usually a listed ingredient) designed to mitigate that.  <sep>  Q: Would freezing affect the flavour of mint tea?

CONTEXT: Foil is the way to go, combined with not too fierce a heat. You want to cook at about 160C until the centre of the pie is piping hot. To lower the chances of burning, portion the pie prior to reheating. That way the centre will get hot more quickly. Reheating more than once is generally not a good idea for safety reasons. You can however portion one night's pie and keep the other in the fridge.  <sep>  Q: How can I safely re-heat a chicken pie without burning the crust?

CONTEXT: The fishy smell comes from amines - you want a low pH substance to take the smell away, like lemon juice or vinegar. Some brands of "shower cleaner" will do the trick.Bicarbonate of soda absorbs "general" odors, but it is alkaline and not the best choice in this case.  <sep>  Q: How do you get the smell of fish off your hands?
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. It's really about taste and the result you want  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you think fresh vegetables would be better for soup?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I would not keep it or eat it and just consider it a loss. That is a long time for the food to cool down/seal, etc. The processing time is usually carefully calculated so that the core of the product in the jar gets to the proper temp. With the processing time only being 10 mins it would mean only the jar and maybe a small amount on the edges would have gotten to 240 deg F. I suppose it could make a difference if it was a hot pack vs. cold pack, but I would still not risk it.Since you're an experienced canner, I assume you already know that it's possible to lose pressure during the process and then restart the time when the canner gets back up to pressure, but that is usually a few minutes at most, not hours.  <sep>  Q: If there was an interruption in canning process, would the meat still be safe? A: I would not keep it or eat it and just consider it a loss  Q: So I should start all over again? A: Since you're an experienced canner  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will the pressure from the cooker not kill the bacteria?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Fill a clean bowl with cold water. Place in sink. Place fish in bowl under the tap. Turn on cold water so that it slowly trickles into the bowl. This is safe in the short term, or just until the fish is thawed. Of course, a firmer fleshed fish will handle this better than, say, a skate wing or some thin flounder. A plastic bag is basically irrelevant for safety. It will not keep you from getting sick if the fish remains in the danger zone for enough time...that is, unless your fish is floating in contaminated water, which is probably unlikely in your situation.  <sep>  Q: Defrosting Fish without Bag, will I die or get very sick?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: It is possible to over brine meat. If you leave it in too long it will get too salty.If you use a more dilute brine it won't get as salty but you will wash out more of the natural flavor into the water as well.You could submerge your turkey in its packaging in ice water in a cooler for a day before brining. You could even thaw the turkey in this manner if you made sure to keep it in ice water so it didn't get to 40F.  <sep>  Q: What happens if I brine my turkey for 2 days? A: It is possible to over brine meat. If you leave it in too long it will get too salty  Q: So even if I keep it covered and keep it cold, what will happen to it? A: You could submerge your turkey in its packaging in ice water in a cooler for a day before brining  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: oh so just don't put it in salt water for that long right?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The overcooked exterior and undercooked interior indicates that your oil temperature is too high or your fritters are too large. You should be able to solve your problem by frying at a lower temperature and/or making the fritters smaller. 340Â°F-360Â°F seems to be the temperature used by many recipes for fritters.  <sep>  Q: Why are my apple fritters too doughy in the center? A: oil temperature is too high or your fritters are too large  Q: What advice can you give me on temperature and size? A: You should be able to solve your problem by frying at a lower temperature and/or making the fritters smaller  Q: do you have any other tips or advice A: 340Â°F-360Â°F seems to be the temperature used by many recipes for fritters  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How do I get the perfect outer texture?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Mixing it with milk (or liquid in general) is probably just to remove clumps. It clumps easily, especially when things aren't perfectly airtight (probably more common in your grandmother's time), and mixing in a small amount of liquid is an easy way to make sure it all breaks up.I'm less sure about the alternating. It is pretty common to alternate wet and dry as a way of getting things evenly mixed and avoiding lumps, so it's possible it's a variation on that. The paste might be too thick to easily mix into the wet, but also wet enough that it'd tend to stay as a lump if you mix it straight into the dry, so alternating wet-dry-paste might get you more even mixing? But if you're able to mix the paste smoothly into the wet, it's completely fine to just do that.  <sep>  Q: Why pre-mix baking soda into 2 tsp of milk? A: Mixing it with milk (or liquid in general) is probably just to remove clumps  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: it has to be added to the milk to form a tiny little bit of wet paste?
Output: No
CONTEXT: You can neutralize the acidity of your drink by adding a half teaspoon of baking soda, but don't do this. Apart from fizzing up like a volcano, your lemon drink, or what is left of it, will taste pretty awful.What you want to do is reduce the perceived acidity. This can be done simply by adding more honey. I suggest adding a teaspoon at a time until it tastes about right. I like about double the amount of honey you specified if we're talking teaspoons.  <sep>  Q: How do I reduce the acidity of homemade honey lemon juice?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: English toffee is very chewy - the kind of stuff that glues your teeth together! Once it has been cooked and set, it's not easy to handle and wouldn't be easy to chop up for a cookie recipe. You'd possibly be better off with some kind of fudge which is easier to handle but will still hold its shape in a cookie.  <sep>  Q: hELLO###How can I substitute English Toffee in cookies? A: better off with some kind of fudge which is easier to handle but will still hold its shape in a cookie.  Q: What about Toffifee candies? A: English toffee is very chewy - the kind of stuff that glues your teeth together! Once it has been cooked and set, it's not easy to handle and wouldn't be easy to chop up for a cookie recipe  Q: But surely fudge would have a different texture and it wouldn't be the same cookie? It seems like the toffee is an important part of the texture. A: You'd possibly be better off with some kind of fudge which is easier to handle but will still hold its shape in a cookie.  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would I cook the cookies for the same amount of time?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I've never juiced a pineapple, but I have done a watermelon and I've had some success with a food processor and a cheese cloth. I'd remove the core of the pineapple, because I don't think there's much juice in it. Remove the skin as well. Then run the pineapple through the food processor and pour all of the contents into a cheese cloth over a bowl. Squeeze all the juice you can out of whatever's in the cheese cloth. If you don't have a food processor, you can maybe use a cheese grater or potato masher instead.  <sep>  Q: What is the Best way to juice a pineapple? A: I'd remove the core of the pineapple, because I don't think there's much juice in it. Remove the skin as well  Q: What is the easiest way to remove the skin?###And is there a tool for removing the core? A: I've never juiced a pineapple, but I have done a watermelon and I've had some success with a food processor and a cheese cloth  Q: Should you cut the pineapple into chunks before trying to juice it, or just do the whole thing in one go? A: run the pineapple through the food processor and pour all of the contents into a cheese cloth over a bowl. Squeeze all the juice you can out of whatever's in the cheese cloth  Q: How big of a food processor do you need for this? A: If you don't have a food processor, you can maybe use a cheese grater or potato masher instead  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any other fruits that can be processed in this fashion?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: From a cooking perspective any imitation sauce or marinade is never going to deliver the quality that venison has to deliver. We have a massive deer farm close and the price is still ridiculous .My suggestion is that you find a good butcher that will age beef for you on the bone ,or you could age it yourself if you have a climate control area to keep it at the correct temperature. Anything over 30 days on the bone will start to give you the gaming flavour you are craving. Nothing is going to match deer, but aged beef or really any type of cattle (eg buffalo etc) will give you the gaminess if it is aged. Restaurants are getting up to 180 days, which I could only imagine would melt in your mouth but the flavour would be intense.  <sep>  Q: How can I reproduce a "gamey" flavor? A: My suggestion is that you find a good butcher that will age beef for you on the bone ,or you could age it yourself if you have a climate control area to keep it at the correct temperature  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does that make it taste gamey?
Output: Yes
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?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I work in a fine dining restaurant, and the standard implement is a bench scraper AKA a dough knife AKA a bench knife. It's basically a stiff, 6" wide sheet of stiff metal with a handle, and can pressed or rocked down on the counter to cut dough into portions. It can also be used to move shaped bread or rolls, cut pastry, fold sticky doughs, and scrape off the counter for cleanup. They're not really knife-sharp per se, but the metal is narrow enough to cut dough well, and a knife would go dull against the hard surface anyway. The best models have measurements engraved into them, so you can consistently size your products, and will stand vertically on the handle (for icing cakes).Now, for SLASHING risen breads before baking, the correct tool is something called a lame, which is basically a razor with a handle. Or, you can just use your really sharp chef knife (your chef knife IS razor-sharp, right?) and spritz it with pan spray to keep the dough from sticking.  <sep>  Q: What's the best type of knife [and/or method] for cutting raw bread dough? A: a bench scraper AKA a dough knife AKA a bench knife  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I'm not familiar with that knife. Can you describe it?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: This really depends on the locale. For example in Seattle we have a couple of Washington State grain farms and mills that do sell their product at farmer's markets. If you have trouble tracking down a miller directly, you might do well to ask at your local natural foods co-op if they can source this or direct you to people who can help. Another place to ask would be at your best local artisanal bakeries, as they may well be using local flours.  <sep>  Q: Where can I get local grains in bulk?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The trick that works for me consistently is to put the beets in a sealed container while still hot and let them cool down that way, they continue to cook a bit and the steam from them keeps the skins loose. Also, peel them while they are still warm, if they cool too much the skins may adhere again.  <sep>  Q: Whats the best way to roast beets to get the skins off? A: The trick that works for me consistently is to put the beets in a sealed container while still hot and let them cool down that way  Q: The skins on mine always come out clingy, does this help with that? A: peel them while they are still warm, if they cool too much the skins may adhere again  Q: Another other advice for getting the skins to come off easily? A: put the beets in a sealed container while still hot and let them cool down that way  Q: So I should not let them cool down at all before peeling? A: peel them while they are still warm  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should I roast the beets for?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I would actually just make caramel. Place about 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup in a heavy bottom pan and dissolve over low-medium heat then crank up the heat and let cook, without stirring, until the mixture turns a golden amber colour and starts smoking. Then use the resulting caramel to sweeten your coffee :-)  <sep>  Q: How can I make coffee syrup with caramel taste? A: I would actually just make caramel  Q: Is that just using brown sugar instead of white sugar? A: sugar  Q: How would I make caramel with the consistency of syrup? A: Place about 1 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup in a heavy bottom pan and dissolve over low-medium heat then crank up the heat  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: 1/4 cup of what?
Output: No
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: When I buy fresh broccoli, how long can I keep it in refrigerator?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It really depends on the density of the bottom sponge. If it's too light, you might have a problem. To be doubly sure, take some wide straws (the ones about 1cm across) stick them in the bottom layer, then snip them flush. These will act like columns to support the top cake.  <sep>  Q: Is stacking cakes without bases okay? A: It really depends on the density of the bottom sponge  Q: Can cake sit directly on top of cake? A: really depends on the density of the bottom sponge  Q: How light is too light? A: If it's too light, you might have a problem  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do different flavors have different densities?
