CONTEXT: For what it's worth, I read once that you should briefly soak seitan in a bowl, covered in boiled water, to soften it up before using it. I have tried this, and it really does make a difference in the final texture. I typically cut it into cubes, soak it for about 10-15 minutes, then drain it and proceeded as normal for the recipe.  <sep>  Q: How to keep baked seitan from being too tough? A: I read once that you should briefly soak seitan in a bowl, covered in boiled water, to soften it up before using it  Q: How long should I soak it? A: I typically cut it into cubes, soak it for about 10-15 minutes  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What about soaking it in broth instead?
Output: No
CONTEXT: As someone who uses liquid nitrogen as part of their daily routine (in a lab) and who has made liquid nitrogen ice cream on several occasions, my advice would be to not use a plastic container to hold liquid nitrogen unless it's designed to. Yes, the plastic vessel may become brittle and may fracture. I have seen some materials shatter with extreme violence when frozen with liquid nitrogen; do not attempt this. Vessels for handling cryogenic liquids are designed especially for the job, and made from materials such as stainless steel, styrofoam, teflon, HDPE or silvered borosilicate glass. Unless you know with certainty that your container is designed to withstand temperatures of -196 Â°C (-321 Â°F), do not attempt this procedure.  <sep>  Q: Have you added Liquid nitrogen to make ice cream in food processor? A: Vessels for handling cryogenic liquids are designed especially for the job, and made from materials such as stainless steel, styrofoam, teflon, HDPE or silvered borosilicate glass  Q: Would the extreme cold damage the plastic of the food processor? A: the plastic vessel may become brittle and may fracture  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is liquid nitrogen food safe?
Output: No
CONTEXT: No, bartenders do not shake carbonated beverages. I was a bartender for years and I have never known this to happen or be part of a recipe. The carbonated sodas are always put on the top of the glass after pouring. The foam comes from the sugar or egg whites in the sweet n sour mix. You can find that recipe on line. Here is one that is overly complicated, bars rarely (never to my knowledge) use fresh lemon or lime juice. However a good bar uses separate lemon & lime mix for different drinks, or they used to anyway. I personally use limeade or lemonade at home. You can use one of the other or mix them together. Throw that in a shaker & you will get some foam, it works in my blender.  <sep>  Q: Can I use carbonated drinks in cocktail shakers? A: bartenders do not shake carbonated beverages  Q: I see bar tenders shake drinks with carbonated beverages in them all the time. Is there a trick to shaking a cocktail with carbonated ingredients without it becoming a high school science project? A: bartenders do not shake carbonated beverages. I was a bartender for years and I have never known this to happen or be part of a recipe  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the best way to make a drink with a carbonated beverage in it?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It's hard to say exactly how long it will take to overprove because there are many variables involved - the amount of yeast, salt and enrichment in your dough, and the room temperature for example. However, it should be fine to ferment overnight, if you cover it well and put it in the fridge.  <sep>  Q: How long will a bread ferment last before it is no good? A: It's hard to say exactly how long it will take to overprove because there are many variables involved  Q: What are some of the variablees? A: the amount of yeast, salt and enrichment in your dough, and the room temperature for example  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the appropriate room temperature?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Being Filipino, I totally applaud you for such an excellent choice of an entree. The enemy of all fried food is moisture. Think of...potato chips. Immediately after you fry, make sure you let the food cool at room temperature before packaging. I would store the lechon in a non air-tight container, like a KFC bucket/box with parchment paper. Paper bags are good options as well. After the food has substantially cooled, feel free to refrigerate. Don't put your lechon in a sealed tupperware container while hot, as condensation from water evaporating from the meat while it is hot will often form and make your food soggy. Bring on the Mang Tomas and have at it.  <sep>  Q: How to keep pork crispy during transport to venue? A: I would store the lechon in a non air-tight container, like a KFC bucket/box with parchment paper  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will that last for 3 hrs or maybe more?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It is true, in my experience. However, if your recipe does not require salt, you should not be adding it, of course. Removing moisture from onion with the aid of salt helps it reach its desired state (brown or translucent, as desired) faster.I am most familiar with the use of onion in Indian cooking. I generally add a pinch or two of salt to onion when I start sauteing it. Onion starts sweating as soon as you add salt and start stirring. The reason that salt draws out moisture from onion is osmotic pressure. The surface of the onion acts as a semipermeable membrane barrier. Since the solution outside the onion is more concentrated with respect to salt, water moves out of the onion to the general liquid side, to balance the osmotic pressure on either side of the onion surface.  <sep>  Q: Is there any advantage to adding salt to onion while frying? A: Removing moisture from onion with the aid of salt helps it reach its desired state (brown or translucent, as desired) faster  Q: Why is removing moisture from onion important, for texture? A: helps it reach its desired state (brown or translucent, as desired) faster  Q: So, timing - Is there any advantage to adding salt to onion while frying itself rather than adding it the last? A: Onion starts sweating as soon as you add salt and start stirring  Q: How much salt to add for a medium sized onion? A: add a pinch or two of salt to onion  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Ah, some go heavy, a tablespoon or more, and do you add pepper with?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I'm specifically answering your question "Is it okay to use a microwave in convection mode without the turntable?" -- Yes.Your own answer points out the reality that if a pan is too large then the turn table will simply hit the sides of the microwave oven and then stop turning. There is nothing wrong with this. There is nothing wrong or damaging to have a metal tin touch the metal sides of your oven.How was your baked items bottom? If you can sit your tin up so there is air flow under your tin, then you will improve the baking efficiency and it will bake more evenly.CAUTION: If anyone else is reading this question and wondering about their own machine, then you really need to take caution about the "convention only" mode. You have to make sure there are NO microwaves in this mode or else your metal will conduct and you could have a serious explosion or break your microwave oven.  <sep>  Q: Is it okay to use a microwave in convection mode without the turntable?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Yes it should - sort of. Your observation is right on point, a very rich dough will tear more easily. (I did the same experiment once myself.) But it will still show some characteristics of the windowpane test: it will stretch smoothly and the "pane" should be very even, not show streaks of thicker and thinner areas. Note that the temperature of your dough and thus the consistency of your fat may have an influence as well. While warm doughs with soft fat will be very stretchy, cool doughs (made with cold ingredients and little yeast for an overnight cold raise) can be less cooperative.If you are familiar with how a "ready" non-enriched dough looks that passes the windowpane test, you will probably recognise the same smoothness in an enriched dough anyway, without performing the test. For this specific recipe, I guess it's the very low hydration that makes the windowpane test difficult and the dough prone to tearing, not the fat.  <sep>  Q: Should enriched doughs pass the windowpane test? A: it will still show some characteristics of the windowpane test: it will stretch smoothly and the "pane" should be very even  Q: My first attempt didn't, how do I get it to pass this test? A: the temperature of your dough and thus the consistency of your fat may have an influence  Q: What temperature should my dough be at? A: warm doughs with soft fat will be very stretchy, cool doughs (made with cold ingredients and little yeast for an overnight cold raise) can be less cooperative  Q: What kinds of soft fat works best? A: it's the very low hydration that makes the windowpane test difficult and the dough prone to tearing, not the fat  Q: Does the amount of time I knead the dough play a factor? A: not show streaks of thicker and thinner areas  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should I knead it for?
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: Generally speaking, frying gives a better crust due to the higher direct heat producing more Maillard flavours  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I have been told that frying it would make it tastier, but is it healthier to grill or fry?
Output: No
CONTEXT: The reason it tastes sweet is the presence of sugar, ie because it is sweet. Cinnamon is thin tree bark, and it is not uncommon for tree bark, or the layer near the bark to be sweet because of sap. Birch is another example of a tree that is sweet, you can suck on a peeled birch branch for the same reasons as stated in your question.  <sep>  Q: Why do cinnamon sticks taste sweet? A: The reason it tastes sweet is the presence of sugar, ie because it is sweet  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What do you mean tree bark?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Broth is usually defined as having had bones/meat/veg boiled in it, so the dictionary says no. The lack of flavour also says no, and I doubt reducing it would make much difference. You could use the water to make broth or stock, if you have bones/vegetables to hand.What's more likely to have happened is that condensation dripped into the water. This will always happen unless you take steps to prevent it, as the chicken is cooler than the steam, causing water to condense on the surface (more obvious with steaming green veg). This water dripping would carry small amounts of protein (e.g. myoglobin from dark meat) into the water, and it doesn't take much of many proteins to make water cloudy (this is why milk is white, or a few drops of milk make water cloudy). Small particles of fat will also contribute if they run into the water.  <sep>  Q: Water came out cloudy after steaming chicken, is it cosidered a broth?###I was surprised since the chicken never touched the water but I guess it dropped some of its juices in it, I was doing a small batch and I tried to taste it but after adding some salt it just tasted salty,### so If I make a larger batch in less water and the result comes out more concentrated could this taste good and be considered a broth ? A: What's more likely to have happened is that condensation dripped into the water  Q: Whats considered a broth then? A: Broth is usually defined as having had bones/meat/veg boiled in it  Q: Any suggestions for me? A: You could use the water to make broth or stock, if you have bones/vegetables to hand  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Sounds good. Thanks###What kind of vegetables could i use?

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: what temperature should the water be?
Output: No
CONTEXT: There are arguments of the universal validity of such rules, but there has long been an argument that reheated meat that was pre-cooked should always be brought to full safe temperature.The general idea is that cooked or not there is bacteria present. If heated to only the 100-120F range, you have reached the temperature of highest active growth of many pathogens, without killing them. Some will argue that this is safe, as long as you eat the item immediately, not let it sit and give time for that bacterial growth to bloom. I would even put credence to this for items which I knew the preparation and handling history, but for prefab type foods, like ground meats and especially poultry, I personally would be reluctant to take risks, I would bring it to temp. There also has always been disclaimers that the reheating to temp rule only applies to if you reheat at all, for instance, medium rare roast beef is often eaten cold as leftover, but the rule stated if you reheat, the reheat to what would have originally be considered a safe temperature, not part way. With something like a prepped burger, again, I personally would not eat it cold, and just thawing it might put you into an unknown zone. I would heat it.  <sep>  Q: Is therea minimum internal temperature for chicken? A: If heated to only the 100-120F range, you have reached the temperature of highest active growth of many pathogens, without killing them. Some will argue that this is safe  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is that the safest temperature?
Output: Yes
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: I am not the best baker, how can I fix my dry crumbly cookie dough? A: My own sugar cookie recipe is quite dry as well. It cracks along the edges when pressed or rolled and is easily "broken  Q: yes as I roll it the dough is very dry, is there anything I can do to fix it? A: 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  Q: Should I even worry about it? A: 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> FOLLOWUP_Q: that definitely helps, would I add any other ingredients if I am decreasing the flour?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Some crabs are better tasting than others. Ornamental crabs, to my knowledge none are inedible, but tend to be very small, and high skin/seed to flesh so tend to be too much trouble to bother with. Larger crabs though can be very desirable for some applications. They are often blended in mixed ciders, both sweet and fermented. They will be tart to very tart and even bitter, but when blended with other juices add what many people consider a very refreshing bite to the juice. Candied crabs and apple butter are commonly made with them and they can be used for jams other applications especially mixed with other apples to increase tartness.There are a wide variations of varieties, just as with full size apples, and some will seem better than other. If they are wild seedling trees rather than grafter varieties, the quality of the fruit may be hit and miss, and even some of the cultivated named varieties may be astringent, especially some which are marketed for their hard cider characteristics where the astringency is desirable. If the particular ones you have will work will be mostly dependent on your tastes and the variety, and how willing you are to work with the smaller fruit. Even the sweetest crabs are likely to have a lot more tartness than a granny smith.  <sep>  Q: Are crabapples edible? A: Some crabs are better tasting than others. Ornamental crabs, to my knowledge none are inedible, but tend to be very small, and high skin/seed to flesh so tend to be too much trouble to bother with  Q: Are they dangerous to eat?

CONTEXT: I probably would not recommend eating a box of baking soda and chasing that with shots of vinegar. But aside from that silliness, I can't think of a single thing that is actual "food" that is unsafe mixed with another actual "food", assuming reasonable quantities. Certainly anything with alcohol can be dangerous in huge quantities, as can a lot of other ingredients. Allergies or food sensitivities can make certain ingredients dangerous to certain people. But mixing ingredients to which the individual has no special sensitivity and in normal quantities? No, I don't think you are risking anything by doing so other than unpleasant food.  <sep>  Q: How safe is it to combine flavor extracts? A: I can't think of a single thing that is actual "food" that is unsafe mixed with another actual "food", assuming reasonable quantities  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there particular combinations that just taste bad together?
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: I love instant espresso but would like know if there are any instant espresso powder substitutions? A: You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness  Q: How would the taste be affected overall? A: Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors  Q: Do I use the coffee the same way as the espresso powder? A: instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid  Q: Can I use the coffee as a substitute in recipes that require espresso powder? A: there's no really good substitute for instant espresso powder in recipes which call for it that I've found with some significant experimentation  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does it take longer to bake using the alternative?

CONTEXT: 'Air work' is an interesting term that I am not used to hearing, and I do a lot of it. The trick here is where will you be holding the knife as you work. A long thin blade will mean you are holding the blade as you work, which is not a problem, per se.Small bladed and hook beak knives are well suited for this, as you can comfortably hold the handle. I love hook beak knives for mushroom garnishing, coring, small veg peeling and trimming, etc...Small straight paring knives are the standard choice for this, if you don't like the hooked blade.  <sep>  Q: what criteria go into choosing a paring knife specifically for work in the air? A: Small bladed and hook beak knives are well suited for this, as you can comfortably hold the handle  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are heavier or lighter knives more suitable?

CONTEXT: I use two types of cutting boards: wood and [soft] plastic. The plastic is for meat, or anything that could ruin a wood cutting board. Wood is for everything else. If you can afford it, try to get an end-grain wood cutting board.Bamboo is a popular choice right now (it's affordable and sustainable), but I don't have any personal experience with it.Most other materials, especially glass, will ruin your knives.  <sep>  Q: Cutting boards: What are some general tips on purchasing and using a cutting board?###Which is better: wood or plastic? A: use two types of cutting boards: wood and [soft] plastic  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How much is the wood board?

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 frozen berries when the cheesecake calls for fresh? A: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart  Q: What about the extra liquid in the frozen ones? A: Adding the liquid to the cheesecake will noticeably alter the texture, probably making it mushy  Q: So, if I wanted to add berry juice to add more berry flavor (and a nice color) would that work?

CONTEXT: A good quality ($20 or so) sweet Port, Madeira, or Sherry could be lovely, and add a delicious flavor note of its own. Make sure it's something that tastes good by itself, with a flavor that appeals to you, complimenting a piece of cake.Note that these are so-called "fortified wines" â they are distilled to a higher alcohol content. Historically, this was done to achieve a long shelf-life without preservatives, so they're more like spirits. Unlike regular "corked" wines, an opened bottle of fortified wine can last a long time, so the cork is made as a stopper that can be easily resealed.I don't think you'd get good results with a moscato or such. I also wouldn't skimp and buy a cheap (e.g.: Taylor) bottle of Port â that would be like using cheap, imitation vanilla extract! Spending $30 to get a high-quality flavor that you enjoy, is money well spent.This kind of wine typically comes in both sweet and dry variants. If you're making an entrÃ©e sauce, you probably want a dry wine. For fruitcake, be sure to select a sweet variety. Sometimes, they're not specifically labeled "dry" or "sweet", so you need to read how it's described the label, or ask your vintner for a recommendation.  <sep>  Q: Can I soak dried fruit in sweet wine instead of liqueur for use in fruitcakes?###The recipes for fruitcake that I've looked at say to soak the dried fruit in brandy, rum, etc., i.e., something with a high alcohol content.### I've been using liqueur which works well. I was wondering if using a sweet wine would work A: A good quality ($20 or so) sweet Port, Madeira, or Sherry could be lovely, and add a delicious flavor note of its own  Q: Any other suggestions for me?

CONTEXT: There's no particular reason you couldn't prepare a stock with something other than water, but it's the equivalent of buying a ream of heavy pink paper, rather than plain white photocopy paper. If that's the effect you really want, great. The thing is, stock is meant to be as boring as plain white photocopy paper -- it is a foundation for other things, versatile and effective, subtly enhancing without overwhelming the dish. For your beer idea, for example, I would cook down a couple bottles and add some stock to it. That way, the rest of my batch of stock would be useful for other recipes that don't use beer.Note that stock may be boring but shouldn't be flavorless; stock still should taste good. If your stock was flavorless, try upping the amount of meat, veggies, and herbs compared to bones. Also, bear in mind that stock should not contain salt (you will likely reduce the stock at some point). The lack of salt, however, will deaden the flavor. When you are ready to use the stock, be sure to add a pinch of salt.  <sep>  Q: Can I use other liquid than water when making stock? A: There's no particular reason you couldn't prepare a stock with something other than water  Q: Would it be weird to use lager? A: For your beer idea, for example, I would cook down a couple bottles and add some stock to it  Q: Is there a way to make stock not be so boring?

CONTEXT: There's no health issue here, the sausages will be cooked enough to be safe. The reason you fry off the sausages first is that you make the casings more edible, get flavor from maillard reactions and browning, and maybe get rid of some of the fat (if you discard the fat that comes out of the sausages that is). I'm thinking that the sausage casings could end up being a bit soggy, however that depends on several factors and you'll probably get a good result. Worst case is you don't eat the sausage casings.  <sep>  Q: Is it okay to slow cook sausage casserole without pan frying the sausages?

CONTEXT: The best way that I have found to cook okra, and prevent it from being slimy is to avoid cooking it with moisture.If you dredge it in seasoned cornmeal, then pan fry it, you get none of the slime that is common to okra.I haven't done any tests to verify if a quick fry would then prevent it from developing slime if you then add liquid, however. If you're trying to add the okra to a soup or a sauce, you might still need to spend some time cooking it to break down the slime.  <sep>  Q: How do I quickly get okra to stop being goopy? A: The best way that I have found to cook okra, and prevent it from being slimy is to avoid cooking it with moisture  Q: What is the best cooking method?

CONTEXT: Umami is the result of glutamic acid (ions) getting in touch with the tongue. Glutamic acid in fish sauce is the result of a fermentation process, which involves bacteria doing the work of breaking down fish components. Glutamic acid easily dissolves in water though. This is after all, how it was detected millennia ago and centuries ago verified by creating glutamic acid salts: Cooking seaweed in water and boiling the result down.The wakame is added due to its natural content of glutamic acid. There isn't anything special the pineapple can/has do to it that regular water can't do.Therefore the answer is: No, the purpose of the pineapple is not to increase the glutamic acid of the substitute.  <sep>  Q: How does pineapple affect umami when used in vegan-fish-sauce recipes? A: There isn't anything special the pineapple can/has do to it that regular water can't do  Q: I have seen mushroom and wakame as ingredients in fish sauce substitutes but does pineapple just take the cake? A: The wakame is added due to its natural content of glutamic acid. There isn't anything special the pineapple can/has do to it that regular water can't do  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: A number of recipes are simmering fresh chopped pineapple along with salty ingredients before straining### does that add umami or in any way help extract umami?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: That silty precipitate is just a thing that happens when fermenting - it's the yeasts dying off and settling out of the solution. I've seen it with mead, yeast-based soda recipes, and other fermented drinks (like fermented lemonade etc) - your ginger ale would be yeast based soda, by the way, if you drink while fairly young and carbonated, like with a day or two of fermentation (you can have longer storage if not actively fermenting, ie in the fridge where yeasts are nearly dormant or having killed the yeasties off somehow) while it will likely grow increasingly alcoholic if you leave it an extended amount of time.This precipitate isn't a problem, it might be off-putting to see or taste (if you get a whole mouthful) but it isn't harmful and I at least will often drink it because I don't care enough to avoid it, but if you don't like it you can rack the beverage - that is, let it sit still to settle, and gently pour or siphon from the (clearer) top, and stop pouring when just the settled, cloudy yeasty dregs are left. If you're fermenting for an extended period of time (ie, alcohol) these may be racked several times while aging to keep the yeast from building up and possibly introducing off flavors - though its usually a few months between racking, so I wouldn't expect off flavors to develop quickly.  <sep>  Q: I am sorry but I have no idea. I didn't know you could make your own ginger ale.###You learn something new everyday as the old saying goes. A: your ginger ale would be yeast based soda  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: There is tea in ginger ale?

CONTEXT: Assuming you didn't do some kind of "flavor injection" treatment, there is absolutely no reason why one part of a bird would taste radically different from another. I'm going to go with "Bad Duck."Cooking the bird slowly seriously reduces the possibility of a "hot spot" causing some kind of local taste variance. Breast meat will become overdone at the point where dark meat is still tasty, but that wouldn't explain smell or taste, and unpleasant smells are almost always related to bacterial issues.If it was discolored, it could have been local bruising, which would cause some taste issues, but, again, wouldn't explain the smell.  <sep>  Q: I tied cooking a duck and the smell was terrible, what happened? A: I'm going to go with "Bad Duck  Q: My wife complained about the horrible taste of the breast, while I was happily eating the leg, wouldn't it all tast bad? A: Breast meat will become overdone at the point where dark meat is still tasty, but that wouldn't explain smell or taste, and unpleasant smells are almost always related to bacterial issues  Q: I tried cooking it a low temperature, but for a longer time, was this wrong? A: Cooking the bird slowly seriously reduces the possibility of a "hot spot" causing some kind of local taste variance  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I did not turn the duck, should I have?

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: Do I drop into hot water or bring to boil with water? A: Unfortunately, the above answers would probably be good for fresh tortellini, or frozen or something like that  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do I add salt to the water or salt later?

CONTEXT: They are a little hard to find, but if you can find a "Bismarck" pastry tip, they have an elongated tip that is perfect for poking into your cream puff to fill. And, on a side note, a couple ways to keep your pastry tube from getting so messy... Put it inside a drinking glass and fold it down over the sides to fill it. This holds it open and you're less likely to spill all over the edges. Then, once you gather the open end, use a rubber band to tightly hold it closed. This reduces the mess dramatically.  <sep>  Q: How do I get the filling inside pÃ¢te Ã  choux?###Do I have to cut a hole in the baked pastry form?

CONTEXT: I assume you're making normal maki (nori side out) and not California rolls.Are you leaving a 1/2 inch or so of blank nori (no rice) on the outside edge (the edge that you roll last)? If you slightly wet the bare edge of the nori with a little water on your finger it should help it stick together.  <sep>  Q: How do I stop sushi rolls from opening up?

CONTEXT: 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: I love instant espresso but would like know if there are any instant espresso powder substitutions? A: You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness  Q: How would the taste be affected overall? A: Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors  Q: Do I use the coffee the same way as the espresso powder? A: instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid  Q: Can I use the coffee as a substitute in recipes that require espresso powder? A: there's no really good substitute for instant espresso powder in recipes which call for it that I've found with some significant experimentation  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there any other substitutions other than coffee?
Output: No
CONTEXT: What gives spices their flavors are the oils that they contain, along with any water soluble flavors that they might have. In a pressure cooker, your food will cook hot. What that means to your spices will vary as certain spices could grow more bitter or sweeter depending on the compounds inside them. Conventional wisdom says that pressure cooking concentrates the flavors, although that would seem to fly in the face of physics as you aren't reducing while pressure cooking, you are just heating steam at a higher atmosphere to transfer more heat to the food faster.As for texture, use the one that you like.  <sep>  Q: what is the difference between cooking vegetable curries in a pressure cooker and a wok?
Output: Yes
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: Why does my custard pudding taste like raw eggs?
Output: No
CONTEXT: There is some difference between the flavor, but seeing as there are so many other predominant flavors in Worcestershire sauce and that fact that you're (hopefully) not drinking it straight, it's fairly insignificant. It's very common for one product produced in different countries to have a range of manufacturing differences, sometimes arbitrary, sometimes to suit the local palate, and sometimes because of costs, hence people calling American Lea & Perrins a "knockoff."I've had both, and can assure you that once you've mixed it into a casserole or marinade you won't really miss anything. If you're striving for needlessly authentic British flavor you could always add a little malt vinegar to whatever you're cooking!  <sep>  Q: Is there a difference between US Worcestershire sauce and UK Worcestershire sauce?

CONTEXT: Panko won't stick to chicken (too dry), but will stick to egg. Egg won't stick to chicken (too smooth and non-absorbant), but will stick to flour. Flour will stick to chicken. Dredge first through flour, then through (well beaten) egg, then through panko. It's a tricky combination, but if you do it right the results are excellent. Any dry spices you want to put in can go in the flour. While I don't know for sure, I would certainly wouldn't include any oils in the coating, as none of flour/egg/panko will stick to oils.  <sep>  Q: How do I make panko stick to chicken for frying? A: Dredge first through flour, then through (well beaten) egg, then through panko  Q: why do I use the flour?

CONTEXT: What you're describing isn't all that different from how they make various products like Liquid Smoke (make smoke along with steam, then condense that steam). You will need to make sure that some actual condensation occurs (for example, by having a lid for the smokey vapor to condense onto).However, it may be simpler to add a liquid smoke-type product directly; at least the main brands are actually smoke distillates (and not artificial flavorings or similar) and thus should be effectively identical to this process, but quicker.  <sep>  Q: Could you smoke a sauce?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I suspect it depends what kind of cheese the whey came from. Whey has all of the water soluble components of the milk. It loses the casein and fat. How much of the albumin and lactose it loses depends on the cheese. If the milk was heated enough (190F I believe) then the albumin will denature and not be in the whey. If the cheese was acidified with a bacterial inoculation then the bacteria will have converted some of the lactose into lactic acid which will both be in the whey. Riboflavin is water soluble and is what gives the whey that greenish tint.Either way- most of the nutrients that bacteria like are not in the whey and it is always highly acidic. I have personally kept whey for a couple weeks with no ill effect.I usually use my whey soon by making ricotta. If the cheese it came from didn't denature the albumin in the milk then you can gently heat the whey until the the albumin precipitates out. A gallon of whole milk makes almost a pound of mozzarella and then a little less than a cup of ricotta. That's a lasagna right there.  <sep>  Q: What is the storage life for whey?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: In the fridge, an hour should not be a problem, but could still end up bitter depending on the kind of onion used. Usually, Marinades, Pestos etc. that use mashed onions and/or garlic taste best if they are made the way the name "Pesto" suggests: Cutting stuff very fine, then using a mortar and pestle. Most explanations WHY that is the case have to with the fact that blenders tend to disintegrate cell walls with relatively rough cuts of a fast but half-sharp or blunt blade, releasing more enzymes etc. from the cell walls as opposed to from the cell contents. These are plausible, since some of the compounds in different parts of onion cells are known to actively react when the onion is disintegrated.Also, try adding oil (which you often want in a marinade anyway. No unrefined olive oil in a blender, though - that is known to get bitter!) while mortaring or blending - this will help extract flavor compounds and probably provide some oxidation protection.There is a well known marinade working with onions, garlic etc: Bulgogi marinade.  <sep>  Q: How long can blended onions stay relatively fresh? A: In the fridge, an hour should not be a problem, but could still end up bitter depending on the kind of onion used  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will blending onions with burgers get rid of the textured vegetable protein taste?
Output: Yes
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: 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?

CONTEXT: There is not really a turning point. The way that wine goes bad is the process of making vinegar. From wikipedia:The word "vinegar" derives from the Old French vin aigre, meaning "sour wine".The Canadian government limits things that can be sold as 'vinegar' to something with an acetic acid content of 4-12%, so you could do the technical-bureaucratic thing and wait for the acetic acid to get up to 4%.If you aren't hung up on technicalities, then you can use it as soon as it gets sour enough. It is done when all the alcohol has been changed to acetic acid, but it is a bit hard to taste since the acetic flavor dominates.  <sep>  Q: When is homemade wine-based vinegar simply bad wine?
Output: Yes
