CONTEXT: The recipe calls for ground almonds. This can be done in a food processor. You may wish to remove the almonds' skins beforehand, and you also may wish to toast them. Both of those are very common, even though neither is essential. With this particular recipe, I'd be inclined to toast them but leave the skins on. Once you've made those decisions, measure out the sugar called for in the recipe. Set it aside. Then place the almonds in the processor and add two or three heaping tablespoons of the measured sugar. Pulse until you reach a grind that resembles a meal, or very course flour. The finer you grind the almonds, the more carefully you must watch them. Eventually, the almonds will begin to turn to a paste. The sugar is helping to prevent it, and that's helping you to get a finer grind. However, overprocess and the almonds will turn to paste. If you're carefully watching for it, though, you'll see it begin to happen before it goes too far.  <sep>  Q: How do I grind almonds for making marzipan?

CONTEXT: I suppose the Belgian "curry ketchup" is similar to the German varieties and no, they are usually not only seasoned with curry powder, but also other spices. There is no standard seasoning mix for curry ketchup, but common additional spices are ginger, black pepper, paprika, cayenne or other chili powders. I also think that some brands contain onions.The brownisher colour of curry ketchup is mostly because of the turmeric in the curry powder, so just adding the powder to regular ketchup will get you a colour match even without the additional spices or ingredients.  <sep>  Q: Is curry ketchup just ketchup with curry powder? A: There is no standard seasoning mix for curry ketchup, but common additional spices are ginger, black pepper, paprika, cayenne or other chili powders  Q: Do you think its possible to make curry ketchup with regular ketchup?

CONTEXT: With chicken and turkey, the most important "trick" to cooking it is to make sure the dark meat gets done before the white meat dries out, and to make sure the skin crisps up somewhat.Duck is all dark meat, and has a thick layer of fat that must be rendered out. There is not a lot of danger in drying out the breast meat like with a chicken.Like Martha said, it's best to make a few shallow cuts in the skin over the breast (don't go all the way through to the meat) to help the fat render out. A simple (western) roasted bird would be cooked at 350Â°F for about 1 hour 45 min, with the oven turned up to 500Â°F for another 15 minutes to crisp up the skin. There is a LOT of fat rendered out, so it's best to roast in a sturdy roasting pan, on a rack (so it doesn't sit in the fat), and drain the fat about an hour into cooking (save the fat, though; it's delicious).Personally, I think duck is easier to cook, but it's definitely different from roasting a chicken.  <sep>  Q: Differences between cooking a whole duck vs chicken or turkey? A: With chicken and turkey, the most important "trick" to cooking it is to make sure the dark meat gets done before the white meat dries out, and to make sure the skin crisps up somewhat  Q: what other things should be considered when cooking duck? A: A simple (western) roasted bird would be cooked at 350Â°F for about 1 hour 45 min, with the oven turned up to 500Â°F for another 15 minutes to crisp up the skin  Q: Many people say cooking duck is more difficult, why is this?

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: I'd say freeze nearly all of them uncooked and bake when ready. That way they go through only one cooking and maintain the fresh lasagna taste/feel.The sauce and and the cheese will freeze ok. Mozzarella is a pretty sensitive cheese and once it's been baked, it's not going to hold as well when thawed and re-warmed. In my experience it gets gummy and the fat runs off. You have much better chance of enjoying a good meal with the cheese frozen raw.Unfortunately, your noodles will likely take the hardest hit, but will likely fare better than going through two heat cycles.The ground beef and sausage will also fare better that way.The reason I suggested freezing MOST and not all, is that there are times when you're behind the 8-ball, hungry, and don't have the time to bake the sucker, and even ponder settling for dog-food. At that point having a silver bullet in the freezer is a bonus ;) and you'll be ok with inferior lasagna.  <sep>  Q: Should homemade lasagna be frozen cooked or uncooked? A: I'd say freeze nearly all of them uncooked and bake when ready  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can you freeze the no boil noodles if you haven't baked them?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: While I suspect that the formula is mostly reliable if you repeat the experiment with the same person, I found the individual heat sensitivity varies a lot. Most professional cooks and seasoned homemakers can handle (pun intended) higher heat than those who rarely expose their hands to high temperatures. In our home, weâve had heated discussions about whether the dishes in the just finished dishwasher are too hot to touch or not. And this is just one example.If you exclude the differences between individuals, using your own handâs heat sensitivity to gauge a temperature range is absolutely possible (as long as a few degrees donât matter). It takes time and practice - which is usually described as âexperienceâ. I personally donât think in âdegreesâ though, but more in categories like âtoo coldâ / âshould be okâ / âtoo hotâ and a few steps in between. So in short, if you need a precise temperature, get a thermometer. If you are still working on judging by hand, either get a thermometer or plan a few trial-and-error loops. And sometimes the exact temperature is not important for a recipe to work.Using the X-time at Y-distance formula may work, if your heat sensitivity is similar to the authorâs.  <sep>  Q: How accurate is the hand technique for grilling? A: Most professional cooks and seasoned homemakers can handle (pun intended) higher heat than those who rarely expose their hands to high temperatures  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does this technique work on both a charcoal and propane grill?

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? A: 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  Q: Why shouldn't I do that?

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: Chelo (or Chellow) kebab refers to the entire dish which consists of the kebabs (usually 2), rice, and usually grilled tomatoes. Sometimes other accompaniments are included as well.The most common types of kebabs used for this dish are koobideh (ground beef) and barg (ground lamb). It is sometimes served with one of each. There are exceptions and, though not as common, other types of kebab may be used.If you perform a Google search for Chelo kebab recipe you will get tons of results. Most of the recipes include both the rice and the kebab.  <sep>  Q: What sort of kebab is used with Chellow Kebab?

CONTEXT: Garlic flavors are soluble in oil, simply chopping up garlic and putting it in with the rice will not distribute the flavor well. I would recommend you chop the garlic finely and then infuse into a tablespoon of oil or butter by putting the pan on very low heat for a few minutes. Then add the rice and stir to coat the grains with the infused oil before adding water and cooking as normal. How much garlic to use depends on how strong your garlic is and how garlic-y you want it to taste. 5 tbsp of rice isn't much, for a medium garlic flavor using average strength garlic a whole small clove or half a large is probably enough. With the garlic I grow I'd add a few slices from a clove at most. Another option would be to cook the rice and then stir in the garlic infused oil afterwards, The benefits to this option are that you can drain the rice after cooking without all the flavor going down the drain.  <sep>  Q: What is the best way to infuse garlic flavor in the bland brown rice? A: Garlic flavors are soluble in oil, simply chopping up garlic and putting it in with the rice will not distribute the flavor well  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I have fresh garlic cloves. Is there a way to distribute the flavor well into the rice with fresh garlic cloves?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Q1. Chicken and red meat is much more fatty than most fish, so you get a more noticeably thick layer of fat on top of say, chicken soup. Perhaps your fish was lacking in fat. Q2. Gelatin is contained in other parts of animal flesh besides just the bones. [Sometimes vegetable matter as well e.g. tomatoes...unless vegetable "gelatin" has another name; if so, people will let me know I'm sure]Q3. I wouldn't say the water had been "replaced" by gel. The water is taken up into the gel and becomes part of it. Think of Jello: You start out with a lot of water, then you mix the gelatin powder into it and cool it, and you wind up with a gel. The water didn't disappear or get replaced by a gel, it is simply a component of the resulting gel.  <sep>  Q: Where is fat and what is this gel in refrigerated fish soup?

CONTEXT: Most pestos use olive oil, which solidifies at around 6 degrees celsius - just over the temperature of the average fridge. The shop-bought pestos you buy probably adulterate the olive oil with other kinds of oils.In any case, you'll be able to eat your pesto just by leaving it out at room temperature for a few hours, or by just scooping it out and adding to your hot pasta.  <sep>  Q: i cooked pesto yesterday and today i see it turned solid. do you know why?

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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I know stored overnight loses, by one study, 30% of its alcohol content; is there a way to test it?

CONTEXT: It sounds very much like you didn't manage to completely dissolve the sugar. It's also possible to get a bad texture from ice crystals in your ice cream, but I don't think you'd describe it as gritty or sandy, just icy.It can be rather difficult to dissolve that much sugar in liquid, especially if it's cold straight from the fridge. You might want to try heating it gently and stirring, and being careful to go until there's no undissolved sugar hiding at the bottom. That does make the chilling take a bit longer, probably more like 4-8 hours or overnight, not just 1-2 hours. But in my experience heating to dissolve is pretty much standard in ice cream recipes, presumably because it's about the only way to do it easily.  <sep>  Q: Homemade ice cream has texture that is gritty, sandy do you know why? A: It sounds very much like you didn't manage to completely dissolve the sugar  Q: I followed the recipe it said use a hand mixer on low until sugar is dissolved did I do it wrong?

CONTEXT: The short answer is yes, you can. We keep a wide variety of cheeses on hand. Quesadilla or Chihuahua Mexican cheeses are a great substitute for Mozzarella or Provolone cheese. The have a light flavor and work well with Italian foods. We always have these on hand, but they are not always easy to find in some areas. I often substitute simply because, while I might have the intended cheese on hand, there may be some that I need to use sooner than others depending on how long I've had them or how long they've been open. With mild cheeses, you don't have to worry about the flavor profile so much - it's more the melting. And the cheeses I mentioned melt well - just like Mozzarella or Provolone.And to let you know, the reason I tried the other cheeses: I asked in a Mexican restaurant what kind of cheese they used and was told that it was "like American Mozzarella". So, I decided to experiment.All said and done, all of these cheeses have a mild flavor and work in many dishes, regardless of the ethnicity. What you do want to stay away from are cheeses that don't melt well and are designed to keep their shape and texture under heat. One example would be quest fresco.  <sep>  Q: Mexican cheeses on otherwise Italian pizza A: The short answer is yes, you can. We keep a wide variety of cheeses on hand. Quesadilla or Chihuahua Mexican cheeses are a great substitute for Mozzarella or Provolone cheese  Q: Does a Mexican cheese change the flavour very much? A: With mild cheeses, you don't have to worry about the flavor profile so much - it's more the melting.

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: Is there any way to add the gamey flavor of venison to other foods I enjoy?

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: How to cook insects? A: What country are you in  Q: I love touring and I am trying to cut my dependency on my protein sources such as soy powder, beans and other supermarket stuff.### Touring is a bit like camping but with longer distances and a bike.

CONTEXT: There's no right or wrong answer as there are advantages to both and it's about what you want out of a burger. The advantage of the minimal disturbance method is that the strands of the meat give the burger structural strength. It also gives a pure beef flavor as you aren't adding anything to it. The mix up method breaks up the strands of meat which come out of the grinder which makes patties more fragile, however flavorings are distributed evenly. Some people add binding agents like egg and breadcrumbs to hold it together when using the mix up method in which case it becomes more of a flat meatball than a burger. My personal preference is the minimal disturbance method as it is fast, the patties hold together, and I like the flavor of pure beef. After forming the patties I salt them on both sides. After the final flip I grind fresh pepper on the cooked side - pepper gets bitter when burned. If I did want to add flavorings I would grind my own meat for the burgers and add the flavorings then.  <sep>  Q: How should burger patties be prepared in terms of mixing and flavourings?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Can't comment on the nutritional side of things, but the main reason I can think of for not always including it is that it has a slightly different flavour. A much more intense lemon flavour is provided by the zest while the juice has the more tart elements (and of course water).If you're just interested in avoiding waste, you can freeze the zest.  <sep>  Q: Are there any reasons not to include the zest when citrus juice is an ingredient? A: the main reason I can think of for not always including it is that it has a slightly different flavour  Q: How does the zest change the flavor? A: A much more intense lemon flavour is provided by the zest  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it the same for all citrus fruits?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: How exactly are you making them? This might affect the answer.I assume you're using some sort of mold. If that's the case, plunge the mold into an ice bath, but don't completely submerge it. Assuming your mold is metal (molten sugar is hot!) they will cool rather rapidly although I can't give you an exact time.In general, an ice bath is the way to go for rapid cooling. You could get it a little cooler by adding a generous dose of salt to the ice bath, but meh I think you'll only shave a few seconds.  <sep>  Q: Do you know how long it would take for sugar to cool down after it has been melted?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Watt specifies the power of the device.Power is defined as energy per unit time. So watt is how quickly your device consumes energy.If it is an efficient device it will convert more of consumed electricity into heat. So given two equally efficient devices the higher watt one will produce more heat faster and can therefore cook faster than the less watt one.And the third part of your question has already been answered above. Yes, higher watt device will consume more electric power.  <sep>  Q: What role does a watt play in an induction stove? A: Watt specifies the power of the device  Q: Do you know if the watt power affects the cooking method? A: watt is how quickly your device consumes energy  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you know if an electricity consumption of higher watt induction stove higher?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Don't RinseYou should not need to do more than shake the excess marinade from your chicken, or if you want to be very thorough, pat it down with towels lightly.If you rinsed, you would be washing away from of the flavor developed by your marinade, and the seasoning at the surface of the chicken.Cook onThe goal is to not put the chicken on the grill with so much left over marinade that it fails to cook through and dry. By the time you are done grilling, the chicken should be essentially dry at the surface with nothing left to curdle.The other goal of the grilling (or putting in the tandoor, I imagine, if you have one) is to develop the nice browned and delicious flavors, and that won't happen if there is still liquid yogurt on the surface.Type of yogurtThe particular type of yogurt you use should not be a factor, since it should be fully cooked in the grilling phase.However, in general, very high fat dairly products (like cream, or a yogurt made from full cream).  <sep>  Q: Should I rinse meat after marinating in yogurt?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I seem to recall that in Moroccan cities there are often 'neighbourhood' ovens where you pay a small amount to have your bread baked, because few people have their own ovens.You cut a distinctive design in the loaf so you can tell which is yours when you go back to collect it; the whole system is extremely ancient. The ovens are usually wood-fired clay ovens, so you'll get a nice stone-baked result as well.  <sep>  Q: Can I make cakes in a tagine?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Refrigerating cooked potatoes is perfectly safe. The myriad of frozen and refrigerated potato products on the market demonstrate this, as do the experiences of millions of home cooks.In fact, it is raw potatoes that should not be refrigerated, not because of safety concerns, but because they will convert starches to sugars and taste oddly sweet. The ideal storage temperature is slightly higher, 45-50 F.  <sep>  Q: I thought maybe if they were still hot it might be better, or should I let them cool? A: The ideal storage temperature is slightly higher, 45-50 F  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Great! And how long can I store them in the fridge?

CONTEXT: Surprisingly, an egg is the most difficult thing to cook. McDonalds serves a lot of eggs in their breakfast menus and they haven't found a way yet to mass prefry / prcook these suckers. So I doubt this could be done.I tried half cooking scrambled eggs before and then finishing them off later, and the result was crap at best.I doubt you can do that with non-scrambled eggs, as the yolks and whites will change physical properties when heated / cooled / reheated  <sep>  Q: Have you tried frying eggs on a large scale?

CONTEXT: Lay them out on a paper towel overnight so that the skins dry completely. This gives the benefit of keeping the frozen blueberries from sticking together without needing lots of freezer space to do a quick freeze individually on a sheet pan. Then bag in a freezer bag and freeze.Note that whenever you freeze fruit, the liquid will burst the cell walls as it thaws, causing the resulting berry to be mushier. In my experience, frozen blueberries aren't good for eating alone. To bake with blueberries, thaw them by placing them in a mesh sieve or collander and running water over them until the water is clear off the bottom (no pigmentation from the skins, which may color your baked goods) and the berries are thawed. Dry the skins before using in baking.Using these techniques I have not once had any of the 30 pounds of blueberries I froze this summer burst in the freezer and have successfully made many blueberry baked goods from the results.  <sep>  Q: what's a good technique for freezing blueberries? A: Lay them out on a paper towel overnight so that the skins dry completely  Q: Could I put them in the oven at 150 for an hour A: To bake with blueberries, thaw them by placing them in a mesh sieve or collander and running water over them until the water is clear off the bottom  Q: Which way would result in less exploded berries when the water in them freezes?

CONTEXT: During blending, air is put into the milk mixture. Once you switch it off, not all air is kept inside the milk but makes it's way to the surface. These are the bubbles that make you think your milk is fizzy.Without being a chemist I assume full fat milk has more fat, therefore the emulsion is somewhat "thicker" and thus can hold the air better. There are also bubbles with full fat milk, but less than with skimmed milk. Sort of.  <sep>  Q: Why is the skimmed milk fizzy? A: During blending, air is put into the milk mixture. Once you switch it off, not all air is kept inside the milk but makes it's way to the surface  Q: Why does that not happen when using whole milk? A: Without being a chemist I assume full fat milk has more fat, therefore the emulsion is somewhat "thicker" and thus can hold the air better  Q: Is it normal to hear a fizzing sound coming from the bubbles? A: There are also bubbles with full fat milk, but less than with skimmed milk. Sort of  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there anything I can do to ensure that the bubbles don't form?
Output: No
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: defrost in the refrigerator. This keeps temperature below 40 degrees F, in the safe zone. This will, also, take a while  Q: Is there a faster way to defrost it? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: And this will work with any type of fish?
Output: No
CONTEXT: As with all fish, just don't cook it any longer than necessary - all you need is long enough to get the temperature up (to 145F/63C), and anything past that is just overcooking. Boiling is a really fast cooking method, and simmering or poaching is not much slower. Note that this also means removing it from the water as soon as it's done, since the water is way above the necessary temperature and will easily overcook seafood even if it's removed from the stove.Tiny fish like you mention will probably be done in only a minute or two, similar to small. The best way to tell, though, is not to use a timer but to directly check the fish: it should be opaque and flaky. (For small fish, those aren't very big flakes, but you could still pull it apart or bend it and tell.)  <sep>  Q: How do I cook small fish in water without overcooking? A: removing it from the water as soon as it's done  Q: Is the 1 inch thick should be simmered for no more than 10 minutes true? A: Tiny fish like you mention will probably be done in only a minute or two, similar to small  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does that include sardines and anchovies?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: You don't need to defrost it, you can add cold roux directly to a boiling liquid. To avoid lumps from the roux, most cooks suggest you either add cold roux to a hot sauce, or cold liquid to hot roux. If you heat the roux gradually with the liquid you may get lumps, and don't get a good impression of how much thickening is going on until it heats fully.  <sep>  Q: Right way to defrost roux
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I tried freezing tzatziki sauce but wasn't happy with it when thawed as it seemed to separate easily and even when mixed thoroughly it seemed to have a different, more watery texture than when fresh.What I do now if I have cucumbers I need to use is to prepare and process them exactly as I would for fresh tzatziki sauce. I freeze the processed cucumber in 1/2 or 1 cup containers and thaw to make fresh tzatziki sauce. Works great and the added bonus is that it doesn't take up as much room in the freezer.  <sep>  Q: Can I freeze Tzatziki sauce?

CONTEXT: The ripening itself is caused by ethylene gas released by the food, which is trapped by any kind of bag.As far as I know, there's nothing inherently special about a brown paper bag, other than the fact that it's porous and thus still allows some air to get in and out. Plastic ziplock bags have no ventilation, so they don't work nearly as well.  <sep>  Q: Why does a brown paper bag speed ripening? A: As far as I know, there's nothing inherently special about a brown paper bag, other than the fact that it's porous  Q: So many people suggest using them for bananas. Is there something special about the banana? A: The ripening itself is caused by ethylene gas released by the food, which is trapped by any kind of bag  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any foods besides bananas that produce this gas?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Lay them out on a paper towel overnight so that the skins dry completely. This gives the benefit of keeping the frozen blueberries from sticking together without needing lots of freezer space to do a quick freeze individually on a sheet pan. Then bag in a freezer bag and freeze.Note that whenever you freeze fruit, the liquid will burst the cell walls as it thaws, causing the resulting berry to be mushier. In my experience, frozen blueberries aren't good for eating alone. To bake with blueberries, thaw them by placing them in a mesh sieve or collander and running water over them until the water is clear off the bottom (no pigmentation from the skins, which may color your baked goods) and the berries are thawed. Dry the skins before using in baking.Using these techniques I have not once had any of the 30 pounds of blueberries I froze this summer burst in the freezer and have successfully made many blueberry baked goods from the results.  <sep>  Q: what's a good technique for freezing blueberries? A: Lay them out on a paper towel overnight so that the skins dry completely  Q: Could I put them in the oven at 150 for an hour A: To bake with blueberries, thaw them by placing them in a mesh sieve or collander and running water over them until the water is clear off the bottom  Q: Which way would result in less exploded berries when the water in them freezes? A: Note that whenever you freeze fruit, the liquid will burst the cell walls as it thaws, causing the resulting berry to be mushier  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a reason why the blueberries shouldn't be put directly in the freezer without drying them first?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: When I make a paella I never cover it, I find it keeps in too much moisture. My uncovered method is to put the fish in and cook for 10 minutes. If my mussels are small I will usually wait 2-3 minutes before putting them in, bu for "standard" mussels 10 minutes seems to work well. I use a low-medium heat on a large burner.  <sep>  Q: How long to should I cook seafood in paella? A: My uncovered method is to put the fish in and cook for 10 minutes  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: After cooking for ten minutes what are the next steps?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Both will do the job of greasing a pan but there are some differences. One of the big differences is that butter will add a very desirable flavor to whatever you are cookingâwhich especially complements sweet baked goods.Shortening is pure fat whereas butter is only about 80% fat by weight. Butter may bring additional flavor to your recipe (even by greasing the pan) but it also adds some water which may not be wanted.One final difference is that butter burns/browns more easily than shortening.  <sep>  Q: What's the difference between greasing a pan with butter vs. with shortening?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: A number of Chinese restaurants are happy to prepare it without pork or beef. I've seen it with pork (most common) or beef (sometimes).A vegetarian Chinese place that I occasionally visit uses a "vegetarian ham" along with some vegetables like peas to augment the custardy texture of the soft tofu. I like to add some ja tsai (zasai, depending on romanization preferences) pickles in there, though I'd guess that's not that common.Pork is not absolutely essential to the identity of the dish, but it's certainly the most likely version to be served.  <sep>  Q: can i make Ma Po Doufu without Pork A: A vegetarian Chinese place that I occasionally visit uses a "vegetarian ham" along with some vegetables like peas to augment the custardy texture of the soft tofu  Q: Would the dish work with chicken/beef?

CONTEXT: The article you linked to references this dish as "Wiener Schnitzel". That article defines it as veal--pounded, breaded, and fried--garnished with lemon, and served with potatoes. "Wiener" refers to its Viennese origin, and Schnitzel to the type of preparation (pounded, breaded, and fried). There are many varieties of Schnitzels, made of several different meats, and with various sauces. Jaeger Schnitzel, for examples, is served with a creamy mushroom sauce. The one from Vienna is served with lemon and potatoes.  <sep>  Q: What is a Vienna Schnitzel? A: he articl  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I have heard this term frequently used, but I haven't been able to find a definition, even in the extensive Wikipedia Article on Schnitzel.

CONTEXT: If you want a similar texture and flavor, I recommend trying other similar root vegetables. I use turnips and parsnips in similar applications. They're both dense, white and have a slight sweetness to them and they should hold up relatively well to long cooking times.You might also enjoy yucca which can have a cooked texture similar to a cross between potato and banana. I've not tried them in this sort of application specifically but I think they should work.  <sep>  Q: what are some alternatives? to potatoes A: If you want a similar texture and flavor, I recommend trying other similar root vegetables  Q: What are the most recommended? A: I use turnips and parsnips in similar applications  Q: How would they taste in soup? A: You might also enjoy yucca which can have a cooked texture similar to a cross between potato and banana. I've not tried them in this sort of application specifically but I think they should work  Q: Do I boil it first? A: they should hold up relatively well to long cooking times  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are these items low in carbs?
Output: No
CONTEXT: You cooked it at too low a temperature. Sous vide is intended for meat where you want the protein to remain tender. It shouldn't have any sinews. Think chicken breasts, or the long filet along the spine of a pig. This meat gets nicely cooked at 60-65Â°C (depends on the animal), and tough and dry above that. Meat marbled with sinews has to be cooked at a temperature where the sinews (collagen) melt into gelatin. This happens at about 70Â°C at least, and takes hours. Since the muscle fibres are already toughened at that temperature, there is no reason to hold it low; you can put it at full boil in a normal pot and cook it there, you just have to wait long enough. In theory, you could do it in a sous vide bath too, but you won't get any of the benefits sous vide gives to tender meat.  <sep>  Q: My sous vide chicken is tough and stringy - did I cook it too long, or too little? A: You cooked it at too low a temperature  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What temperature should I cook chicken breast at?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Chicken fat is what you want, and--this is important--no cream or milk. Use chicken fat to make a roux, and then chicken stock. This will get you a yellowish colour.For extra bonus points, make your pastry with schmaltz as well. They do this at the gourmet supermarket down the road, and their chicken pot pies fly off the shelves.  <sep>  Q: How do you get a nice yellow gravy color when making a chicken pot pie? A: Chicken fat is what you want, and--this is important--no cream or milk. Use chicken fat to make a roux, and then chicken stock. This will get you a yellowish colour  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any other benefits to using chicken fat?
Output: No
CONTEXT: While using a hot oven and keeping the tin hot while filling are both critical elements, equal concern needs to be taken with making sure that your batter is at room temperature.If the eggs and milk aren't room temp to even slightly warm, then it will take a significant amount of heat to simply warm the batter in the pan before significant steam can build for their expansion.You can warm eggs quickly by placing the whole egg (in shell) in a bowl and covering with hot water from the tap. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes and you'll have room temperature/warm egg. Milk can simply be microwaved to warm only slightly or you'll cook the eggs.You might also try using bread flour. Here in the south all-purpose flour has a lower gluten content than most other all-purpose flour in the US and it's also bleached to weaken the gluten content that's there. I've recommended to guests of mine that have had issues with popovers not rising that they try bread flour and I've heard positive responses following the use of bread flour. Bread flour will also have a bit more flavor and produce more browning from the additional protein.  <sep>  Q: How do you make Yorkshire Puddings rise reliably? A: If the eggs and milk aren't room temp to even slightly warm  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why do they need to be warm?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: They're commonly called squash blossoms in English - as you might guess, this is because it doesn't matter too much what kind of squash they're from. They'll most commonly be from smaller summer squash plants (e.g. zucchini) though, since they produce many small squash instead of a few large squash (like pumpkins), so you can get more blossoms for your trouble.  <sep>  Q: What variety of squash produces "flor de calabaza"? A: They'll most commonly be from smaller summer squash plants (e.g. zucchini  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What type of squash will produce the best tasting flower?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Parsley is both a flavoring herb and a decorative element for plating the finished dish. By adding it during the cooking, it imparts flavor to the shrimp. By adding it to the finished dish, it provides color and flavor. The cooked parsley will have a slightly different taste to it than the fresh parsley. This is how cooks layer the flavors in a dish.TB stands for Tablespoon.  <sep>  Q: Why in this one recipe parsley is used in 2 different ways? A: Parsley is both a flavoring herb and a decorative element for plating the finished dish  Q: Will it taste different depending on the preparations? A: By adding it during the cooking, it imparts flavor to the shrimp. By adding it to the finished dish, it provides color and flavor  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: It is okay to eat if it is being used for decorative purposes?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I would think this is happening because your cream is just about to turn sour. As cream ages, lactic acid builds up in it. The acidity in your coffee is enough at that point to push the cream over the edge to curdling. Try newer cream or a very low-acid coffee with old cream and you should be OK.  <sep>  Q: Why is cream curdled in coffee? A: I would think this is happening because your cream is just about to turn sour  Q: Could it have something to do with either the coffee being too hot or the creamer being too cold? A: As cream ages, lactic acid builds up in it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why would it happen with soy milk as well?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Guess my first instinct to heat some oil and fry it off was correct.Had the base in the fridge and instead of throwing it away thought I'd try it out, and it worked.Though there was still a hint of raw onion paste, it wasn't as bad as earlier, and could taste the other ingredients too.  <sep>  Q: Do you think if I heat up some oil in a wok and put the entire dish into it to cook would that help? A: my first instinct to heat some oil and fry it off  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would boiling it instead help at all?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I believe that I have made some of those conflicting comments.It is definitely possible to make an excellent pan gravy with the drippings from a brined turkey.It is also really easy to have the gravy turn out inedibly salty if you aren't careful.Make sure you follow the brining recipe. Don't have too high a concentration of salt and don't brine for too long. Rinse off the bird, inside and out, before roasting.I have also read, from reliable sources such as Harold McGee, that gravy is impossible. My own experience would suggest otherwise.  <sep>  Q: Can you make pan gravy if the turkey was brined? A: It is definitely possible to make an excellent pan gravy with the drippings from a brined turkey  Q: DO you think the result could be salty? A: It is also really easy to have the gravy turn out inedibly salty if you aren't careful  Q: What can i do to avoid this? A: Make sure you follow the brining recipe. Don't have too high a concentration of salt and don't brine for too long.

Output: No
CONTEXT: Yes. Water boils at about 212F (100C) and meat is cooked from 140F to 160F. If you left the meat in there for a very long time it would eventually approach 212F and start to get tough.The time that they give you is going to be the time it takes to ensure that the meat is safe to eat. Generally I like it to be closer to the rare side as it is more tender that way.  <sep>  Q: Will meat overcook in a boiling water pot? A: If you left the meat in there for a very long time it would eventually approach 212F and start to get tough  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is 15-20 minutes too long to boil meat?
