CONTEXT: In my experience, the most likely impact of a gentle boil vs. a furious rolling boil is going to be on texture of starchy foods, such as potatoes or other root vegetables, rather than flavor.I've found that a gentle simmer of potatoes will result in a mostly intact shape and consistent texture, whereas an aggressive boil without perfect timing can result in the outer layers of the potato breaking apart, sometimes before the center has time to cook fully.I've seen similar issues with stuffed parcels of pasta like ravioli or boiled won tons. I've also found that open pot egg poached eggs have much nicer results with a gentle simmer than an aggressive boil, perhaps for related reasons.Since part of how we experience taste is texture, you could say that the "taste" is affected.  <sep>  Q: Can food be boiled "extra fast/hard" in water? A: an aggressive boil without perfect timing can result in the outer layers of the potato breaking apart, sometimes before the center has time to cook fully  Q: Do you recommend a lighter boil? A: I've found that a gentle simmer of potatoes will result in a mostly intact shape and consistent texture  Q: Are those the only difference between the two different types of boils? A: In my experience, the most likely impact of a gentle boil vs. a furious rolling boil is going to be on texture of starchy foods  Q: Do the different boil methods have the same result on different food?

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?

CONTEXT: Modern non-stick pans should not have problems with coatings flaking off. Spend $50 on a non-stick pan and it will last you for a very long time. Coatings on good pans should hold up to any non-metallic utensils. Very expensive pans suggest that you can hit them with a hammer and not hurt the surface.  <sep>  Q: What qualities should one look for when choosing Egg cooking gear?

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? A: I use two types of cutting boards: wood and [soft] plastic  Q: Which one is better for food safety? A: The plastic is for meat, or anything that could ruin a wood cutting board. Wood is for everything else  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Which one is cheaper to purchase?

CONTEXT: A medium saucepan would probably be in the 8-10 inch range.Your sugar isn't colouring because the heat isn't high enough or it's high enough but not long enough. Just keep cooking, the change will happen. You can try less water but if you're not familiar with working with sugar, better to err on the side of caution; I do work with caramels a lot, and when I know I'm liable to get distracted by other things I have on the go I purposefully use more water than needed to give myself breathing room. Are you using the correct size of dish as specified by the recipe? Some of the caramel will dissolve into the filling as you pour it in and as it cooks; I wouldn't worry about the thickness at this stage.Beyond that, I would personally stay far, far away from anything done by RR. I don't criticise cooks lightly, and I generally try to cook some of their recipes before I'll pass judgement. The recipes of hers that I have tried, both from 30 minute meals and the website, are uniformly awful. Poorly written, ingredient quantities are off, and generally they just taste nasty.  <sep>  Q: How do I brown the sugar for pumpkin flan? A: Just keep cooking, the change will happen. You can try less water but if you're not familiar with working with sugar  Q: Can I burn it?

CONTEXT: Everyone gave thoughtful and helpful answers, but when I went to get to cooking this weekend, I discovered that the problem I've been experiencing was actually another issue altogether. My problem was undercooking, plain and simple. I did incorporate Dani and ChernoffDad's techniques, and I can't say that they didn't help. However, the samples I tasted partway through cooking were not unlike my typical results. It was after extended cooking that these guys really softened up to my liking.  <sep>  Q: What is the trick to making fluffy matzo balls?

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

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  Q: Would boiling it instead help at all? A: there was still a hint of raw onion paste, it wasn't as bad as earlier, and could taste the other ingredients too  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you have any other suggestions for how to make my dish taste less like onion?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I'm not sure I've ever seen chipotle paste called for in recipes; I searched around a bit and what I found was consistent with my experience. I saw chipotle en adobo, ground chipotle, and even whole dried chipotle. I also easily found recipes for chipotle en adobo. I don't think you'll have any trouble figuring out what to do with them.The most common way I've seen chipotles, both in grocery stores and in recipes, is chipotle en adobo. You can make your own by simmering dried chipotles in tomato paste with vinegar, garlic, onion (search for recipes if that's not specific enough). I suspect that most chipotle pastes you might find are something like this, but pureed, and possibly cooked until thicker.The other common way to use chipotles is as a powder; that's as easy as grinding them in a spice grinder. If you're using them in something that gets cooked for a decent amount of time, I'd just do this and add them, instead of making chipotle en adobo or a paste out of them. Just think of them as a spice.  <sep>  Q: What can I do with dried chipotle chillies? A: The most common way I've seen chipotles, both in grocery stores and in recipes, is chipotle en adobo  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Ok, how do I use them?

CONTEXT: This 'trick' is used by many a fine chef. Meat is salted, wrapped and refrigerated hours or even overnight, prior to cooking. Yes, salt will draw moisture from the meat initially, but over time that moisture will migrate back into the meat taking the salt with it! The salt also breaks down the protein structure in the muscle rendering a more tender steak.The steak is rinsed and dried (a wet steak will steam not char), seasoned, and fired.Ground beef can be handled in the same fashion. Using a medium or coarse salt and erring on the less salty side, you can find the right proportion to suit your taste. Season before forming or after. Some contend that the seasoning is made bitter by the heat and flame of the grill. Go figure.Other tips: The meat should be mixed and formed with a gentle hand â use only as much pressure as it takes to hold the patties together. For almost foolproof rare or medium-rare meat, go right from fridge to grill.  <sep>  Q: Do you know why, what makes a burger taste so salty? A: This 'trick' is used by many a fine chef. Meat is salted, wrapped and refrigerated hours or even overnight, prior to cooking  Q: Is there anything I can do to get this result when cooking beef burgers at home?

CONTEXT: I'm afraid you interpret the tables wrong. You aren't destroying calories, you are adding water (=0 cal) to the dry rice. As the rice absorbs the water, you are in fact measuring rice + water for cooked rice.This is true for calorie tables that measure by volume (like here) and by weight.If you are cooking your rice by boiling and straining, you are effectively losing a few calories due to the starch that gets drained with the water, but that's not what you asked here.  <sep>  Q: How to maintain the calories in rice (which were present in it in its raw form) after cooking it?

CONTEXT: All of these are natural colorants but also impart a bit of flavor with them.For the raspberry layer you could use a tiny amount of beet juice to really kick the red.For yellow colors you have a few options. Saffron can work really well though I'm not sure what mango/lime/saffron tastes like. Another organic single ingredient is Achiote, which has an extremely mild sweet flavor. It's used for coloring mac and cheese and most processed cheese.Hope these ideas help.  <sep>  Q: How do i make stronger colors in three part pannacotta?

CONTEXT: Gelatin sheets are soaked in cold-to-room-temp water in order to soften and rehydrate them slightly before stirring them into the (often hot) food. If you were to try to stir a sheet of gelatin directly into hot liquid, you'd find that it behaves a lot like cornstarch. It clumps up immediately and produces unpleasant-to-eat chunks that only a blender and a chinois have a hope of removing.You squeeze it after soaking to remove excess (unflavored) water from the exterior. Otherwise, each sheet might bring along quite a bit of water, which will seriously affect the consistency of a product you expect to set up, and might affect the taste of even something like a braise to which you are adding the gelatin just for body.  <sep>  Q: Why do we soak and squeeze gelatine?###I can only assume we use gelatine with liquids (or at least the majority of time it's to set a liquid) - so why soak it first? A: Gelatin sheets are soaked in cold-to-room-temp water in order to soften and rehydrate them slightly before stirring them into the (often hot) food  Q: And why do we then squeeze it?### I would assume it's to get rid of something but my searches return no results.

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?

CONTEXT: Just an idea... I've had problems making foam because of hard/basic tap water (a lot of chalk in the water) - making frape though, not garlic foam:) Foam will more easily form in soft water as you can easily test with a piece of soap. If you have hard tap water you could try using boiled water (some of the chalk in the water will react and leave a residue on the bottom of the pot) or bottled water with pH 7 (neutral). Another idea would be to add just enough acid for neutralisation but I imagine that could be a bit tricky and you'd risk the milk curdling so I wouldn't recommend it.  <sep>  Q: Why was there not enough foam in my garlic foam with soy lecithin?

CONTEXT: The key to this is really high heat and pan-fry in a single layer, very quickly. The goal is to get that nice brown caramelized surface and barely cook the interior and then get it out of the pan before it starts to seep water. Also, wait to season with salt until it comes out of the pan so it doesn't draw out the water prematurely.  <sep>  Q: How can I pan fry zucchini without making it soggy?

CONTEXT: If it's refrigerated, it'll last for at least a week, as long as you didn't pre-dairy it. Unrefrigerated, I wouldn't trust it for more than a day. Coffee is a crappy growth medium and it should start out the next best thing to sterile, but, even covered, its going to start to get moldy.Obviously if you add dairy, then you're dealing with that dairy shelf-life, and that isn't very long at all.  <sep>  Q: How long is it safe to drink coffee after brewed?
Output: Yes
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  Q: What starches can I stabilize it with?

CONTEXT: I've never tried steaming bok choy, but yes, the ribs and leafy bits cook at different speeds.For stir frys I trim the bottom so the ribs come free, clean off any dirt that's gotten trapped in between, then stack up the leaves and cut the leaves from the ribs. I slice the ribs into about 5mm / 3/16" slices, and add them towards the end; the leaves I cut into ribbons (perpendicular to the ribs), and stir them in at the last second, so they barely cook. The center I just chop the top off the leafy bit, and slice the more rib-like bits a litte larger than the rest of the ribs (they're thinner, so cook faster).As I've never tried steaming it, and I don't tend to cook in bags (except for silver turtles when camping), this is going to be a complete guess. Now, it tastes fine al dente, so you could leave the ribs as large as I use for a stir fry, but en papillote tends to be fancier cooking, so I'd probably try for maybe 1/6" slices or a little thicker (maybe 2-3mm), and if you had a mandoline so they all came out even, that'd be great. I'd still cut the leaves into ribbons, just because it's easier to eat than a huge intact leaf.I'd assume that the leaves would cook at a similar rate as spinich, and the ribs closer to fennel, if that helps at all.  <sep>  Q: How should I prepare Bok Choy before I cook it? A: I trim the bottom so the ribs come free, clean off any dirt that's gotten trapped in between, then stack up the leaves and cut the leaves from the ribs  Q: Won't the leaf cook much faster than the rib? A: the ribs and leafy bits cook at different speeds  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can all of the stem be eaten?

CONTEXT: I often use this technique at home to cook proteins. It shortens cooking time by using steam as a heat transfer medium to cook the top of the item at the same time as the bottom.You can also use this method on frittatas, dumplings, etc.You can also use flavored liquids to impart flavor as well. I particularly like hard cider with chicken and pork.  <sep>  Q: Why do fry cooks use water to cook burgers?

Output: No
CONTEXT: Mast O Khiar, as you mention mainly consist of plain yogurt and cucumbers and most recipe do not require much more than that. Because of such, the shelf life for the yogurt product will be the shelf life of the yogurt itself. If it is a store bought yogurt, then the shelf life should be about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.Make sure to store the sauce in an air-tight container. Most tubberware should work. Those soup containers from Chinese takeout orders work perfectly.EDIT: After a bit of a debate in cooking chat, I decided to change my answer a little. The reason I said 2 week is because personally I had eaten 2 week old Mast O Khiar. However it could be recipe dependant so it could be different for a different recipe. However it is very easy to tell whether yogurt OR cucumber is bad.Mast O Khiar should have a very fresh/clean aroma. When yogurt turn bad, it releases a rancid smell. If it smells bad, dont eat it.If you see fuzzy mold it's a good idea to throw it out.  <sep>  Q: What is the shelf life of a yogurt product? A: the shelf life should be about 2 weeks in the refrigerator  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I made a large batch of cucumber yogurt sauce, will that stay good for 2 weeks too?

CONTEXT: Beans freeze marvelously. I put mine in freezer bags and lay them flat so they freeze quickly and are easier to thaw.They are very sturdy little nuggets of joy and hold up well to canning or freezing without getting mushy.Different beans behave differently. Pintos soften quickly and don't have much of a skin. Black beans keep their shape and skin a lot longer. Kidney beans are in the middle- if you boil them too long they will mash but they are a lot sturdier than pintos.  <sep>  Q: Can you preserve canned kidney beans so that they still have their shape?

CONTEXT: This seems nonsensical to try with your home stove. You are correct, the rate of gas output is directly controlled by the knobs. In a typical home stove, drilling holes will not increase the gas output. It would affect the gas to air ratio, but I doubt it would result in an increase of temperature, and more likely a decrease.  <sep>  Q: Are you familiar with the gas range hack for greater power output?

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: How far in advance of serving can you fry fried eggs?

CONTEXT: Flour is a thickening agent, plain and simple. However adding it without cooking it first can lead to your dish having a raw flour taste, and you can get blobs of flour in it, so I would ignore the recipes which say coat with flour without cooking it first, or use cornstarch (cornflour) instead. Alternatively you can make a roux with flour in a separate pan and add it in later. This is simply mixing equal weights of flour and butter and cooking it in a frying pan until it has the color you want. A lighter roux will add a paler color and a milder flavor, a darker roux adds a deeper color and richer flavor.  <sep>  Q: Have you ever made a ragout? A: Alternatively you can make a roux  Q: Do I have to roll the meat in flour when I make a ragout?

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.

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 the panko bread stick to my egg-coated chicken?

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?
Output: Yes
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  Q: What temperature should I cook chicken breast at?

CONTEXT: This is something that can happen during the manufacture of porcelain. It is due to iron particles in the clay used to make the porcelain, they get this look after being fired. It is part of the mug itself and cannot be removed. Customers don't like isolated black dots on white porcelain, so high end manufacturers only sell items without these dots. But if you bought something in the mid- or low-price range, or B-ware from the high end brands, these specks are common enough. It is only an optical defect, the mug itself is clean and you don't have to do anything more about it.  <sep>  Q: Black spots in porcelain coffee mug?

I put mine in freezer bags and lay them flat so they freeze quickly and are easier to thaw.They are very sturdy little nuggets of joy and hold up well to canning or freezing without getting mushy.Different beans behave differently. Pintos soften quickly and don't have much of a skin. Black beans keep their shape and skin a lot longer. Kidney beans are in the middle- if you boil them too long they will mash but they are a lot sturdier than pintos.  <sep>  Q: Can you preserve canned kidney beans so that they still have their shape? A: They are very sturdy little nuggets of joy and hold up well to canning or freezing  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long will they be preserved using this method?

CONTEXT: Thanks for adding the photo, Ford, as I think I know what it is. Although your photo is nicely focused, it's not the real thing so I can't be 100% sure. It looks to be the built up bits of grease and other residues from the bottom of your cooking pans that have accumulated over the 5 years. Not saying you slopped lots but the smallest amounts of spatter from cooking will add up. I moved 6 months ago into a place with a new stove and I've done my best not to spill food and to always wipe up right away but I've noticed the burners getting marked. It doesn't wash off either. Do you find the elements you cook on the most are more marked?But to answer your original question whether the scratches affect the burners' performance, the answer is no. All they need to be able to do is heat up and even a knick in the metal wouldn't stop it from heating.  <sep>  Q: Do scratches on electric range burner elements affect its performance or function?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Just omit the mustard. In just about every recipe I have seen for beans, it is proportionally a very small component. And while we tend to think of mustard as being bold in flavor, it's really the vinegar that makes it seem that way.You should also stray from any recipes that call for store bought barbecue sauces, as many will contain mustard.Finally, one reason mustard appears as an ingredient in dishes like this is it is an emulsifier. You may wish to find a substitute emulsifier, making sure of course that your friend can handle it as an ingredient, to keep too much of the pork fat from separating in your mixture.  <sep>  Q: BBQ-style baked beans without mustard?###My friend has some kind of weird food sensitivity to mustard. He's coming over for dinner and I wanted to make baked beans, but just about every baked beans recipe I've seen calls for mustard. A: Just omit the mustard. In just about every recipe I have seen for beans, it is proportionally a very small component  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: I have a feeling I can probably just leave the mustard out, but I feel like it might leave the flavor somewhat unbalanced.###What can I do instead?
Output: No
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: Ok, what should it be cooked with if moisture causes it to be goopy? A: If you dredge it in seasoned cornmeal, then pan fry it, you get none of the slime that is common to okra  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Yum, how long should I fry it?
Output: No
CONTEXT: I think grilling is probably a bad plan for duck legs; the fat content is a real danger like you said, and duck legs are tough enough you probably want to confit them or braise them.If you absolutely have to grill them, I would suggest confiting them at 200 degrees for three or four hours first (you could use veggie oil in a pinch) and then resting them in the fridge for a day or so in oil. As for finishing them on the grill, rinse them off gently, re-season if needed, cook flesh side down on a medium heat portion of the grill for a while until mostly heated through, then flip them over on a high heat portion of the grill to crisp up the skin, watching out for flares.  <sep>  Q: Tips for grilling duck legs? A: I think grilling is probably a bad plan for duck legs  Q: What makes you say that? A: the fat content is a real danger like you said, and duck legs are tough enough you probably want to confit them or braise them  Q: How long should I confit or braise them? A: If you absolutely have to grill them, I would suggest confiting them at 200 degrees for three or four hours first  Q: At what temperature? A: 200 degrees  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there any other steps?

CONTEXT: There are quite a few very sophisticated market gardeners in New Zealand producing greens and micro-greens like no other in the worldEspecially from the Pukekohe, and other volcanic silt soils areas, it's hard to grow anything bad. The crisp mornings at this time of year, and the naturally nutritious soils result in greens including kale that are very sweet and tasty  <sep>  Q: Is sweet-tasting raw kale normal? A: There are quite a few very sophisticated market gardeners in New Zealand producing greens and micro-greens like no other in the world  Q: Are there different varieties of kale? A: he crisp mornings at this time of year, and the naturally nutritious soils result in greens including kale that are very sweet and tasty  Q: What makes kale sweet? A: Especially from the Pukekohe, and other volcanic silt soils areas, it's hard to grow anything bad  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does any bitter kale grow in New Zealand?

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  Q: Do you know if an electricity consumption of higher watt induction stove higher? A: given two equally efficient devices the higher watt one will produce more heat faster and can therefore cook faster than the less watt one  Q: I see. So, you are suggesting that the higher the watt, the higher the cooking power? A: the higher watt one will produce more heat faster and can therefore cook faster  Q: So, if I do want to cook food in a rush, then definitely a higher watt induction stove is the one that I require, correct? A: higher watt one will produce more heat faster and can therefore cook faster  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a specific reading of the watt to be used?
Output: No
CONTEXT: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart. Adding the liquid to the cheesecake will noticeably alter the texture, probably making it mushy; note that there aren't any water based ingredients in the recipe which you could substitute raspberry syrup for. I wouldn't recommend it. If you wanted to add raspberry flavor to a cheesecake, your best bet would be a raspberry pastry flavoring oil. If you didn't want to waste that liquid (and why would you,) just drizzle it on top of each slice as you serve it.  <sep>  Q: Can i substitute in frozen berries when my cheesecake recipe calls for fresh ones? A: The raspberries should work if you strain them thoroughly and fold them in very carefully so they don't break apart  Q: What if I also wanted to add berry juice to add more berry flavor (and a nice color) would that work? A: I wouldn't recommend it. If you wanted to add raspberry flavor to a cheesecake, your best bet would be a raspberry pastry flavoring oil  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How long should the frozen berries defrost for?
Output: No
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: How far in advance of serving can you fry fried eggs? A: the yolks and whites will change physical properties when heated / cooled / reheated  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the best temperature to cook the eggs ?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Generally speaking, frying gives a better crust due to the higher direct heat producing more Maillard flavours. A good, heavy, screaming hot pan is required. Oil the steak, not the pan, with vegetable or groundnut oil (olive oil will burn), and baste with butter towards the end for extra flavour.If your steak is thick, you might try a reverse sear - roast the steak at about 150Â°C until the centre is 10Â°C off your desired doneness level (if you don't have a digital probe thermometer, invest the small amount they cost, it is completely worth it), then sear the outside on your mega hot pan. This avoids you having to overdo the outside just to get the inside right.  <sep>  Q: Is it better to fry or grill a steak? A: frying  Q: What are the benefits of frying a steak? A: frying gives a better crust due to the higher direct heat producing more Maillard flavours  Q: How hot would the pan have to be? A: A good, heavy, screaming hot pan is required  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is grilled steak healthier?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Adding herbs directly to baked goods usually results in very strong flavours. Infusing the sugar with the herbs gives a more subtle overtone rather than a full-on explosion. In some cases, of course, you might want a strong herb flavour, but where you just want a hint, infusing the sugar is great. The classic example is using stripped vanilla pods to make vanilla sugar, which adds subtle vanilla tones to cakes and meringues.  <sep>  Q: When would one infuse flavor into sugar for baking? A: Infusing the sugar with the herbs gives a more subtle overtone rather than a full-on explosion  Q: Why would you infuse flavor into sugar for baking? A: Adding herbs directly to baked goods usually results in very strong flavours  Q: How would you add flavor into sugar? A: The classic example is using stripped vanilla pods to make vanilla sugar  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Can you infuse flavors into marshmallows?

CONTEXT: If it's cast iron, and you're really paranoid about it, just stick it in the oven, run a clean cycle, then re-season. Cast iron can withstand stupidly large amounts of heat: in traditional Chinese cookery, woks are cleaned by building a big fire, and throwing them in...When the fire burns out, you dig out your wok, re-season, and you're back in business.If it's stainless, just stick it in the dishwasher.  <sep>  Q: How can I clean my filthy cast-iron frying pan? A: If it's cast iron, and you're really paranoid about it, just stick it in the oven, run a clean cycle, then re-season  Q: Wouldn't the heat harm this cast-iron frying pan? A: Cast iron can withstand stupidly large amounts of heat: in traditional Chinese cookery, woks are cleaned by building a big fire, and throwing them in  Q: Can I re-season it? A: then re-season  Q: Would I clean the frying pan the same way if it were stainless steel? A: If it's stainless, just stick it in the dishwasher  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is 350F high enough to cook the pan?
Output: No
CONTEXT: There is a significant difference in how the two operate.Turkish coffee works by heating the water to a boil, with no added pressure. The coffee, with gronds, is then transferred into a cup to seethe, before drinking.In a mocha pot, pressure will typically rise to as much as 1.5 bar, and the resulting liquid is free of grounds.Given the radically different extraction methods, the end result of the two are likely to be radically different. My experience, taken from memory, follows:Turkish coffee goes through a sequence of mouth feels, from completely clear, to grainy, almost muddy, with coffee grounds. This also affects the flavour of the coffee. At the beginning, it is much like a strong filter brew, but tends to get bitter towards the end of the cup, which is also, in part, why it is traditionally served in very small cups. In addition, it is often spiced with cardamom, and often sweetened with sugar.Coffee from a mocha pot has a consistent mouth feel all the way through the cup, as the grounds are left in the pot. Due to the pressurised extraction, the flavour notes are closer to an espresso than filter coffee.  <sep>  Q: Is there a significant difference between Turkish coffee and Moka pot coffee? A: Given the radically different extraction methods, the end result of the two are likely to be radically different  Q: Since the Turkish coffee and the Moka pot both work by boiling/steaming the coffee, so assuming they are from the same bean, is there a significant difference between the two? A: Coffee from a mocha pot has a consistent mouth feel all the way through the cup, as the grounds are left in the pot  Q: How else would you described the difference between the two? A: Turkish coffee works by heating the water to a boil, with no added pressure  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What coffee tastes better, Turkish of Moka?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It may be that your oven is not up to temperature before your first batch goes in. If it's not hot enough your cookies will have more time to melt and flatten before they cook. Try giving the oven 10 more minute preheating time before putting your first batch in.  <sep>  Q: Why is my first batch of cookies out of the oven too flat?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: I don't think you can any better than light brown soft sugar!It has a similar taste, similar moisture content (though palm sugar varies hugely in moisture content from a thick honey texture to a solid block), similar color and caramelizes in a similar way.An ever closer option is jaggery, which is almost identical to palm sugar, just made from sugar cane rather than palms. It is probably more difficult to get hold of though, and the difference is rarely noticeable in a finished dish, so I would say light brown sugar is your best option  <sep>  Q: Substitute for Palm Sugar###What is typically the best substitute for palm sugar?###I've been getting away with brown sugar or molasses if I really have no time to get the actually stuff. Honey, granulated sugar, maple syrup are others I've tried but they don't seem as effective as the main two I use. A: An ever closer option is jaggery, which is almost identical to palm sugar  Q: oh that sounds good A: te  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: any other suggestions for me?
