CONTEXT: I think this depends on the type of Gorgonzola. A Gorgonzola DolcÃ© has a milder, sweeter, less-blue flavor, so it should probably be served with a milder steak, like a Filet Mignon. A stronger, more traditional Gorgonzola should probably be served with a stronger flavored steak like a Skirt Steak or a Ribeye. If you flip the combinations around, one of the flavors is going to be lost.I'm not familiar enough with Venison or other game to comment on their compatibility with Gorgonzola.  <sep>  Q: I am planing on making Gorgonzola and was wondering what the best cut of meat would be to pair it with? A: A Gorgonzola DolcÃ© has a milder, sweeter, less-blue flavor, so it should probably be served with a milder steak, like a Filet Mignon  Q: Are there any meats I should stay away from? A: A stronger, more traditional Gorgonzola should probably be served with a stronger flavored steak like a Skirt Steak or a Ribeye  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I enjoy lightly seasoning my meat? are there any seasoning that pair well with the meat and Gorgonzola?
Output: No
CONTEXT: For protection against heat, you can stabalize the milk with starches. (eg, a white sauce made with milk won't curdle, even if you boil it). I unfortunately don't know how much you'd have to add, and of course, it'll end up affecting the texture of your soup).For soups, you're likely better off making a corn starch/milk slurry before adding the milk, so you don't have to cook it like you would flour to get rid of the raw flour taste.You may also want to consider the heat that you're cooking the soup at -- you likely want a low simmer, not a full boil.  <sep>  Q: If I'm using milk as an ingredient in soup, how can I prevent it from curdling? A: For protection against heat, you can stabalize the milk with starches. (eg, a white sauce made with milk won't curdle, even if you boil it  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Many chicken stock based soups use milk, but they curdle. How can I offset this?
Output: No
CONTEXT: As baka has said, more volatile components of the wine will be released with more wine surface exposed.Also, this not only releases aroma but also helps the wine to "breathe" and oxidize, which is why you open the red wine bottle half an hour before serving it (so that this process starts), and why you might pour the wine into a decanter.This process accentuates the flavors and aromas of the wine. It is not very much necessary with younger, colder served wines (e.g. vinho verde).In young, sparkling wine, a larger glass will disperse the bubbles faster, as well as warming it. This is undesireable, hence the smaller, narrower glasses.Aged white wine should behave similarly to aged red wine, although it doesn't need to breathe as much.  <sep>  Q: Why are red wine glasses wider than white wine glasses? A: In young, sparkling wine, a larger glass will disperse the bubbles faster, as well as warming it. This is undesireable, hence the smaller, narrower glasses  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: that's interesting. What about non sparking white though?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Firstly, it strikes me as odd that your recipe has no raising agent - no baking powder, no bicarbonate/baking soda, no self-raising flour. Unless you're whipping a lot of air into the batter, the cakes will barely rise, and you will end up with 'cookies'.I would add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and see if that helps.As for the temperature of your oven, I wouldn't go so far as to halve the temperature and double the time. The idea is that you need enough heat for the cakes to rise at a decent rate then form a crust on the outside. 100 degrees will do little but slowly dry the cakes out.Domestic ovens are rarely well calibrated, so your oven may be running hotter than the dial indicates. Invest in an oven thermometer to make sure you are setting the temperature correctly: I have had an oven run 40 degrees hotter than the dial said before now!If you haven't got the time to get a thermometer, try setting the oven about 20 degrees cooler on the dial, to around 180 degrees.  <sep>  Q: What temperature and time should I use for a cupcake recipe? A: try setting the oven about 20 degrees cooler on the dial, to around 180 degrees  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How much time should I leave it in for?
Output: No
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? A: I suspect it depends what kind of cheese the whey came from  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I've recently begun making cheese at home.### In this answer it was suggested to reserve the whey to be used in curries.
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I think you've answered your question yourself. You use the bean itself to make vanilla sugar, so obviously there is much flavour in it as well and not just in the seeds.My experience is that you get much more flavour out of the pod if you let it simmer in warm milk/fluid.  <sep>  Q: Is there really a difference by throwing the vanilla pod in as well? A: there is much flavour in it as well and not just in the seeds  Q: Is the pod edible? A: You use the bean itself to make vanilla sugar  Q: I like to reuse the pod for vanilla extract or vanilla sugar, is that okay? A: there is much flavour in it as well and not just in the seeds  Q: Is there anything else I should know about the vanilla pod or seeds? A: My experience is that you get much more flavour out of the pod if you let it simmer in warm milk/fluid  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long do you suggest simmering for?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Ribs should not be cooked with direct heat, generally. The directions on the meat are VERY defective. You should turn the left burner on, and put the ribs in the right side of the grill. You should cook at a temperature between 250-300F, typically for 4-5 hours. They're done when the meat pulls back from the bone and when you can easily tear the meat between bones, not when they hit a certain temperature. Check out amazingribs.com, and also get your money back. The instructions on the packaging border on fraud.  <sep>  Q: I burn my ribs to a crisp, what does "medium high" mean? A: You should cook at a temperature between 250-300F  Q: Where should I put the ribs on the grill without them catching on fire? A: You should turn the left burner on, and put the ribs in the right side of the grill  Q: So I shouldn't cook them directly on the flame? A: Ribs should not be cooked with direct heat, generally  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: oh Okay, I got a new grill and seems like I am just burning food, how long should I cook the ribs to not burn them?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Orange and lemon cakes are classics, so there shouldn't be any problem making those layers. I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about making the others, but there should be a way to incorporate fruit puree into cake batter so that the cakes still rise and set.Blueberry, blackberry and raspberry can all be added whole or slightly chopped into a cake (think blueberry muffins), although they do make it moister so you'd want to be careful it doesn't end up too wet. This might work for kiwi and strawberry but I've never tried it with anything like those.You might need a bit of food colouring if you want to emphasise the visual aspects of rainbow layers.  <sep>  Q: Can you make a cake with many different fruit flavors? A: You might need a bit of food colouring if you want to emphasise the visual aspects of rainbow layers  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will food coloring affect the flavor?
Output: No
CONTEXT: To get ground seeds I usually pound the whole pods once or twice in a mortar. The seeds should separate from the husk easily then. Remove the entire pod from the mortar, and grind the seeds.Is this recipe for a marinade? You might get away with just crushing the pods, not separating the husk and seeds.  <sep>  Q: Recipe asks for "15 cardamom pods, crushed". Do I keep the shells? A: To get ground seeds I usually pound the whole pods once or twice in a mortar  Q: are they easily removed? A: The seeds should separate from the husk easily then  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any other used for the shells?
Output: No
CONTEXT: A pizza stone in a normal oven will only get the maximum temperature of the oven (probably not more than 280 ÂºC / 530 ÂºF).A specific pizza oven will gett hotter (the one you linked gets 390 ÂºC / 735 ÂºF and, indeed has a stone inside).If you want to get Italian style pizzas, go for the pizza oven. They need that high temperature in order to be ready in (ideally) 90 seconds. Those Ferrari ovens are one of Italian's favourite ones, albeit they'll need a bit more time than 1.5 minutes achievable in wood fired traditional pizza ovens. You (probably) won't be able to achieve those high temperatures with a normal home kitchen oven, unless you have a pyrolytic home oven, and hack it in order to cook in it during the pyrolysis cycle.As for the waiting time between pizzas using a stone, consider it as a capacitor (or a rechargeable battery): It takes heat (until is soaked up), and then gives it back. Once you make 1 pizza (or a loaf of bread), it needs to soak (a bit) again.  <sep>  Q: Differences between the oven stone and the pizza oven? A: A pizza stone in a normal oven will only get the maximum temperature of the oven (probably not more than 280 ÂºC / 530 ÂºF  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I'm undecided between buying an oven stone, or a pizza oven (like http://j.mp/YXeiTr). I can't find any helpful suggestion - does anybody have any comment?

CONTEXT: The first thing I have to say is kebabs and overcooked are synonymous. If you want all your meats and/or veggies to be cooked right, I would advise you to put each item on it's own skewer so you can take them off as they are finished.As for a broiler and broiler plate functioning as a substitute for a grill, I would say that it won't be an exact substitute, but you will at least get the high temperature cooking and caramelization you would expect from a grill (you will just be missing the smoke flavor).  <sep>  Q: Can a broiler function as a grill substitute when making kebabs? A: As for a broiler and broiler plate functioning as a substitute for a grill, I would say that it won't be an exact substitute  Q: What can it do similarly? A: you will at least get the high temperature cooking and caramelization you would expect from a grill (you will just be missing the smoke flavor  Q: What would I be missing compared to a grill? A: you will just be missing the smoke flavor  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there anything I should watch out for when making kebabs?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Most recipes I am aware of simply press crushed pepper onto the steak. It is true that some will fall off, but these recipes apply pepper generously with that in mind. I have not come across the egg white method (not sure I want egg white on my steak), but I did see a recipe that adds crushed pepper to melted butter, then coating the steak with the mixture, then chilling before cooking. Regardless of the approach, I think allowing the meat to chill with the pepper will help.  <sep>  Q: How to e keep peppercorn rub from falling of steak when searing? A: It is true that some will fall off, but these recipes apply pepper generously with that in mind  Q: Can I use something like egg whites to keep it attached? A: I have not come across the egg white method  Q: Could you use anything else? A: I did see a recipe that adds crushed pepper to melted butter  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How do you apply that?

CONTEXT: Agree that planted herbs are great but you say you've tried that. I kill about 1/4 to 1/2 what I plant, but those that live thrive and get bigger. After a big push just over a year ago I have an endless supply of thyme, rosemary, lemon balm and a dozen sage varieties. I do think it helps if you use them sparingly in their first season so they can get established. I don't know where you live, but if in a city or anywhere near a foreign enclave you might find herbs at an Asian market or other international market much cheaper. It's $4-6 for tiny plastic container of cilantro or mint at my local grocery, for instance, but at the Vietnamese and Chinese markets it's usually 0.50 - $1.25 for a big bunch.To make any leafy green herb last longer in the short term wrap them in a wet paper towel and put that in a plastic bag.You can freeze what you don't use in small ice cube trays for easy serving / use later. I especially like this for basil and mint. You can also buy pre-frozen herbs. You can also dry them - air dry upside down, accelerate by drying them in the oven on low (very low) or use a food dehydrator.  <sep>  Q: How to (cheaply) maintain a plentiful herb supply?

Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I have only seen it used in dahl dishes, presumably because of it's claimed digestive properties. Asafoetida is incredibly pungent; anything more than a pinch seems too much and unpleasant.I think of it as a flavour-enhancer, a natural, Indian MSG rather than a spice in the normal sense. It makes your mouth water quite intensely and seems to stimulate the savory tatse buds (umami). This is lovely when done subtley and kept in the background.Therefore, I suspect you could add small pinches to all kinds of savoury food.  <sep>  Q: In which kind of food items can Asafoetida be used? A: I have only seen it used in dahl dishes  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What exactly is Asafoetida?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: How about some thinly-sliced peaches? Seems relevant to the Southern theme and complementary to both the heavier bourbon flavor and the other fruity notes.You could sub out the agave for peach syrup if you want to live on the edge.Rhubarb is also a Southern classic that could be an interesting addition. But I don't know how you'd implement that.  <sep>  Q: Hello!###I am trying to figure out how to change a soutthern themed cocktail for a party###it has orange juice, bourbon, aperol, agave syrup, and a dash of bitters###any ideas for me?

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: 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: 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  Q: how to make soft?

CONTEXT: The bundt pans come in 6 cups, 10 cups, 12 cups. I'd go with the middle size as most recipes call for a 10 cup pan. Non-stick is best, though I always give it a spray anyway. They are usually made of cast aluminum. I've had no problem with those. As a beginner, stick to a simpler pattern than one with a lot of nooks and crannies.  <sep>  Q: How do you choose a Bundt cake pan? A: Non-stick is best  Q: Are there different non stick materials?

Output: No
CONTEXT: I've struggled with this issue as well because I live in a moist climate and instant espresso powder cakes up on me between uses.Generally recipes which use instant espresso power are trying to add a kick of bitter and roasted flavors to deepen chocolate flavors and make them richer. You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness. Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors -- and caffeine -- to the cookie or cake than you want. Also, instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid.There's no real way to substitute liquid coffee in most recipes, such as chocolate cookie or brownie recipes, because the recipe has no water in it in the first place. In the rare recipes where there is water, you could substitute strong-brewed coffee for an equal quantity of water+espresso powder, and this would likely work fairly well.So, summing up: there's no really good substitute for instant espresso powder in recipes which call for it that I've found with some significant experimentation. Hopefully someone else has had better ideas than me.  <sep>  Q: Instant espresso powder substitutions? A: you could substitute strong-brewed coffee for an equal quantity of water+espresso powder  Q: I don't have the powder, thats what I'd like to substitute. A: You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is it the lack of liquid that makes it appealing in baking?

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? A: Some of the volatile flavors will be diminished  Q: What will be diminished? A: Some of the volatile flavors  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will using stems affect the flavor of the tea?

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?

Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Venison is, generally, an extremely lean meat. This means it responds well to two cooking methods: very very fast and very very hot (grilling, perhaps roasting with a lot of basting, or lard the meat first), or very very slow and moist (braising). This is of course dependent on the cut; loin is best grilled, shoulder is best braised (due to the connective tissue), leg is best roasted.I wouldn't use plain water as a braising liquid. 50/50 water and red wine, or stock and wine, or just stock... cider would be lovely, so would various juices.  <sep>  Q: How do I get good results with marinaded venison? A: I wouldn't use plain water as a braising liquid. 50/50 water and red wine, or stock and wine, or just stock... cider would be lovely, so would various juices  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I did try it out with wine, brandy, and some spices. The result was okay. Do you have any other suggestions?

CONTEXT: The easiest thing to do is to chop them up, and preserve them in an acidic solution that you allow to ferment a little. Then, just keep it in the fridge as long as you like. Additionally, the onions will become tastier, easier to digest and will have an improved nutritional profile.The acidic solution can be any mixture of water with salt, sugar, vinegar, spices, whey, yogurt, wine, beer, lemon juice, etc...The options are endless. This is called your brine and people have been using this method of preservation for millions of years.As far as storing fresh onions, your best bet is to keep them in the refrigerator's crisper drawer which helps keep vegetables fresher longer.  <sep>  Q: Do you have any advice for storing green onions? A: The easiest thing to do is to chop them up, and preserve them in an acidic solution that you allow to ferment a little.

Output: Yes
CONTEXT: What to doA dough should be generally risen by size anyway, not by time. But it is also very forgiving, so it will probably still give you decent edible bread if you do it by time. The best way is to wait until it has doubled, no matter what the clock shows. But you insist on going by the clock, don't change the time, wait the 30 minutes. It may be underproofed (with such a short time given by the recipe, there is virtually no chance of overproofing it), but the same would have happened if you were using the original amounts and going by the clock. Dough proofing and timeThe rising time for dough at room temperature is not affected by recipe scaling, the time it takes a specific dough to double will be the same regardless of the size of your batch. If the temperature in your proofing container is significantly different from the dough temperature, you will see some effect on rising times with different batch sizes and dough shapes, as the center of the dough will need some time to get to the same temperature as the proofing container, and warmer dough rises quicker than cold dough. This is unlikely to have a measurable effect at dough amounts used by home bakers, especially considering that the possible proofing temperature window is rather narrow.  <sep>  Q: How does halving a bread recipe impact rising time? A: The best way is to wait until it has doubled, no matter what the clock shows  Q: If I double the recipe, will it take twice as long? A: The rising time for dough at room temperature is not affected by recipe scaling  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Great. Why do I need baking powder or baking soda?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Although it doesn't explicitly say so, that's allergy information. It's just been processed in a place that also (potentially) processes those things, so it potentially contains a trace amount, which could be bad if you have a really sensitive allergy. It won't contain enough of those things to matter for any other purpose.Often labels like that are written along the lines of "processed in a facility which also processes..." to make it a little more clear. The lists aren't usually that long, either; most facilities don't process everything. But as pointed out in the comments, a grocery store is a lot more likely to just have a single kitchen that possibly handles all kinds of things.  <sep>  Q: Why might packaged pineapple contain egg, soy, peanut, fish, milk, sulphites, tree nuts, sesame, crustaceans, shellfish, mustard seeds, wheat?

CONTEXT: Most chicken (or turkey) stock recipes are meant to be fairly neutral in flavor so they can be used in almost any dish. In many culinary traditions, especially those of European tradition, black pepper is appropriate in almost any savory dish.Cloves are an extremely strong and aggressive flavor, which is not traditional in these cuisines.While you could certainly use it in your stock, it would give that warm clove aroma, and you would then want to use the stock only in dishes where that is appropriate.Instead, I would stick to neutral flavors, and if you want clove flavoring, do it when preparing the final dish, not he fundamental stock. You can simmer enough stock for the whatever dish you are making with a few cloves while you are doing your prep on the dish to infuse it, if needed.  <sep>  Q: Can cloves be a substitute for whole peppercorns?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I am going to guess that you are likely getting british or irish breakfast sausage. The national dutch sausage, Frikandel, is minced, skinless, and not usually eaten at breakfast. There is a perception amongst the dutch that Americans eat nothing but meat and fat in huge portions. I did a semester abroad in the Netherlands. For the first few days, the host family fed me eggs and sausages for breakfast. I usually have some toast or cereal for breakfast. So, after a couple days I asked them if this is what they had for breakfast every day. My host mother said, "No, this is what we were told Americans have for breakfast everyday!"After a chat, they said they were buying British breakfast sausages and eggs for me. Their typical breakfast was a slice of bread, some cheese, and a very strongly flavored liverwurst. My tastes were not as developed back then. After two days of that I asked if there was any other breakfast choices. My host mother bought me suikerbrood. It is a loaf of bread with sugar baked in it. It was delicious! I told them that I enjoyed this new breakfast very much. This caused a lot of chortling for my two host siblings. It turns out that suikerbrood is a small children's breakfast.  <sep>  Q: Do you know the name of small emulsified breakfast sausages served in Dutch countries? A: I am going to guess that you are likely getting british or irish breakfast sausage. The national dutch sausage, Frikandel, is minced, skinless, and not usually eaten at breakfast  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I'd like to find the recipe or a place to have them again, but I am in the US.

CONTEXT: In most wheat-based recipes, gluten strands are formed while you work the dough. If you don't rest the dough, rolling can be more difficult and you may get a tougher texture in the final product.Additionally, refrigerating the dough up to a certain point will firm up the fats in the recipe (butter, etc), which will make the dough less mushy and will making rolling out the dough evenly a bit easier. Unless the dough is so firm it becomes brittle, refrigeration will make the dough less fragile in most cases.Perhaps less important, the moisture levels may become a bit more consistent throughout the dough as well.  <sep>  Q: Why should I rest gingerbread dough? A: In most wheat-based recipes, gluten strands are formed while you work the dough. If you don't rest the dough, rolling can be more difficult and you may get a tougher texture in the final product  Q: Should I let it rest at room temperature, or in the refrigerator? A: refrigerating the dough up to a certain point will firm up the fats in the recipe (butter, etc), which will make the dough less mushy and will making rolling out the dough evenly a bit easier  Q: Will it make a difference cutting it into shapes?

CONTEXT: In short, using port as a substitute for red wine will not wreck the dish.Though the flavour is different (and richer) and will make your bolognese taste different as a result, the taste should not be bad. I frequently do this as I am not a red wine drinker, and port keeps far better in an open bottle. I would recommend using slightly less than when using red wine, but this is highly subjective.  <sep>  Q: Will swapping the red wine in my spaghetti bolognese with port wreck the dish?

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? A: 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  Q: Would that be safe since it says must be refrigerated?

Output: No
CONTEXT: Well, yes and no. A lot of recipes for semifreddo aren't truly semifreddo because they are hard frozen. Recipes like that can be fried just like ice cream. The key to fried ice cream is to hard freeze the scoops of ice cream. By definition, that isn't semifreddo, but definitions don't seem to matter much to writers of recipes. So, if the "stuff" is hard frozen, it can be coated and fried like fried ice cream. Perhaps after being deep fried, the name "semifreddo" is more apropos.  <sep>  Q: Can semifreddo be used in fried ice cream recipe?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The sugar is mostly just for flavor. I use sugar when making pickled beets and eggs, but don't use it in my dill pickles or pickled peppers and onions. It just depends on if you are trying for a sour, sweet and sour, or sweet pickle (note that there is no vinegar in many fruit pickles).Before you decide to run off and leave out the vinegar, however, I would note that for pickling safety purposes there has to be enough acid to keep botulism causing bacteria from forming and peppers are a low acid vegetable. If you wanted to eliminate the vinegar, you'd have to move to pressure canning.  <sep>  Q: What's the purpose of sugar in a pickling solution? A: The sugar is mostly just for flavor  Q: What else can you tell me about pickling? A: I use sugar when making pickled beets and eggs, but don't use it in my dill pickles or pickled peppers and onions  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would you recommend it in relish?

CONTEXT: It is hard to tell from the picture, but this doesn't look like burned off seasoning, it is more like a burned on residue. If that's the case, you can try cleaning it some way. The problem is that physical cleaning methods probably won't be sufficient, chemical cleaning with alkali will damage the seasoning and chemical cleaning with acid, if the seasoning is compromised, can rust the pan a bit. So there is a high chance you will end up reseasoning. If this really looks and feels like a buildup and not like exposed oxidised metal, my preference would be to soak in warm, not hot, acid. Vinegar or a citric acid solution should work well. Afterwards, try to scrub off with a stiff plastic brush. If it doesn't go away, or the seasoning goes away too, or if this was missing seasoning from the beginning, you have to strip and reseason. We have several questions on the topic, and the Internet is also full of suggestions. I personally prefer doing it with lye (best results, strips both old seasoning and rust), owners of self-cleaning ovens like incinerating it, and there are a list of other methods to work with.  <sep>  Q: How do I recover from overheating my cast-iron skillet?

CONTEXT: The feeding/maintenance of your starter is the same regardless of flour. Remove and discard (or use elsewhere) half or more of starter. Add fresh flour and water in the desired proportions. Stir. As your starter matures, it becomes acidic. Too much acidity interferes with yeast activity in the bread making process. That is why you need to remove a portion of the "spent" starter each time you feed.  <sep>  Q: How do I feed a sour culture? A: Remove and discard (or use elsewhere) half or more of starter  Q: What goes into the starter? A: Add fresh flour and water in the desired proportions  Q: Is 70g flour and 70g warm water the correct proportions? A: Add fresh flour and water in the desired proportions. Stir. As your starter matures, it becomes acidic  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: My recipe says to feed it once or twice a week...what does that mean?

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: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What can I do to avoid so much waste?
Output: Yes
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: Looking to bake side dishes, how do I stop problems with dryness A: As for preventing things from drying out, first and foremost, don't overcook them  Q: Is there any way to keep stuff from sticking to tin foil? A: you might want to use a spray oil, maybe even just on the foil before you put the vegetables and potatoes on  Q: I don't like too much oil, I may just have to boil my vegetables, have you ever heard of boiling onions? A: It's a tiny amount of oil, not enough to make things noticeably greasy, but will be pretty effective  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there anything else I could use?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Differences are mainly a question of origin. Speck comes from Tyrol (it actually means "bacon" in german, which is misleading) and is prepared with a specific blend of spices, usually including juniper, Jamon Serrano from Spain (it means "mountain ham" in spanish) and is a dry-cured ham, and prosciutto just means "ham" in italian.There are plenty of differences in flavor, consistency and aspect, depending on the difference of preparation: ripening, spices and herbs and so on.  <sep>  Q: What's the difference between Prosciutto and Speck? A: Differences are mainly a question of origin  Q: What about Jamon Serrano? A: Jamon Serrano from Spain (it means "mountain ham" in spanish  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are they from the butt or the shank?
Output: No
CONTEXT: With Olive oils, the more refined they are, the higher their burning point. So you are correct, an Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil would be a terrible choice for Indian cooking (would cause effect on taste, smell, and nutrition) which has prolonged periods of sauteing on high heat. Lower quality olive oils, or a light olive oil, interestingly, would be a better choice. They are much more refined like vegetable oils, so have a higher burning point. But at that point, you'd consider why are you using Olive oil?Consider using refined butter (ghee) or coconut oil for Indian cooking. Ghee and Coconut oil will rarely smoke or burn and can stand high heat pretty well. I believe traditional Indian cooking uses ghee.  <sep>  Q: What oils are suitable for Indian cooking (i.e. extended frying duration)? A: Lower quality olive oils, or a light olive oil, interestingly, would be a better choice  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: The oil is on the stove for a long time, I have extra virgin olive oil, will that do?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Chocolate is an odd substance when it comes to melting and hardening. When chocolate hardens, its melting point will end up being just a few degrees higher than the hardening temperature.When chocolate crystallizes at high temperatures, it forms a strong, dense crystalline structure that, texture-wise, is quite brittle. Most bought chocolate (baker's chocolate and chips) is already tempered, but when you melt it, you break down that crystalline structure, and if you harden it at room temperature then it ends up forming very weak crystals that will melt in your hand.If you use a special coating chocolate (couverture or the lower-quality compound chocolate) then you don't need to worry so much about tempering (although it's still a good idea), but if you use ordinary chocolate and don't temper it then your coating will end up being messy and wet and rub off on your hands while you eat it. It might even melt while stored.Tempering is the key to making a room-temperature-stable chocolate coating. If you don't do this, you'll need to keep your pastries refrigerated until they're ready to consume.  <sep>  Q: What is the purpose of tempering chocolate? A: Tempering is the key to making a room-temperature-stable chocolate coating  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can I just melt the chocolate in my microwave?
Output: Yes
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? A: Foil is the way to go, combined with not too fierce a heat  Q: How hot should the oven be? A: You want to cook at about 160C until the centre of the pie is piping hot  Q: Is it safe to re-heat the pie considering it contains already cooked and cooled chicken? The pie was placed into the fridge about 10-15 minutes after cooking. A: 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> FOLLOWUP_Q: The pie has ham and cheese in it, as well as chicken. Does this change the way I should treat it?
Output: No
CONTEXT: In general the FDA recommends that you consume leftovers within 3-5 days (See their website for specific foods). In this case, I don't think the garlic is what's holding you back.While garlic and herb infused oils do present some botulism risk, I think what they are getting at is the can of preserved garlic you've had in the fridge for 9 months.  <sep>  Q: How long does cooked garlic keep in fridge?
Output: Yes
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  Q: Hmmm...My mom says potatoes have toxins that build up as they are stored, is this true? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does that go for any kind of potato?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Substitution in preserved foods are generally considered unsafe. Food chemistry is a complicated affair, and cooking is inherently imprecise. Sure, you can find a way to reduce the pH to that of the original recipe. But a salami is a fermented food. Your pH might be the same, but other things will change, for example the composition of the available sugars, and you can catch a different strain of bacteria. Safe preservation recipes have either been extensively tested in a lab, or used for centuries. Making a small change can destroy the delicate balance which leads to a tasty, safe food. The solution here is to look for another recipe, one which is safe but does not contain wine. For something as risky as cured meat, I'd suggest not getting some random recipe off the Internet, but choosing from a book, or maybe from the blog of a known, respectable author. This way, you get both good taste and safety, things which are hit-and-miss when making your own substitutions.  <sep>  Q: What can you substitute for wine when making homemade salami?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Sure it's safe, there's no risk in putting jam in baked goods. It says refrigerate after opening so it doesn't spoil after being left out too long - some people don't realize it needs to be refrigerated after opening because it is stored in the cupboard before opening. The important thing for food safety is to make sure that the pastries are eaten soon enough after baking. The cream cheese will go off sooner than the jam will, so don't let them sit around.  <sep>  Q: Can Jam be reheated? A: Sure it's safe, there's no risk in putting jam in baked goods  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a heat limit?
