CONTEXT: ...as long as it needs to, depending on a wide variety of factors.You can shape it for baking, put it in the fridge, let it rise, pull it out of the fridge and put it in the oven - no warming up time at all. If you are going to punch down/knead/form after it comes out of the fridge, you can do all that cold, and let it rise as long as it needs to before baking - which will depend on the dough and the room temperature.Or you can let the bulk dough warm a while.  <sep>  Q: How long should bread dough warm up after cold fermentation?###I'm trying to experiment with cold fermentation.

CONTEXT: There is some difference between the flavor, but seeing as there are so many other predominant flavors in Worcestershire sauce and that fact that you're (hopefully) not drinking it straight, it's fairly insignificant. It's very common for one product produced in different countries to have a range of manufacturing differences, sometimes arbitrary, sometimes to suit the local palate, and sometimes because of costs, hence people calling American Lea & Perrins a "knockoff."I've had both, and can assure you that once you've mixed it into a casserole or marinade you won't really miss anything. If you're striving for needlessly authentic British flavor you could always add a little malt vinegar to whatever you're cooking!  <sep>  Q: Is there a difference between US Worcestershire sauce and UK Worcestershire sauce?

CONTEXT: The bottom of the 8" pan is a bit less than half the size. For a 2" deep-dish, there's a 2-inch high (if you take it to the top) 8Ï circumferential strip for another 16Ï, and presumably the 12" dough is for a flat pizza. At 32Ï .vs. 36Ï I'd do the whole box, unless your deep dish isn't really all that deep.I'm also a bit concerned about the "never used" cast iron pan needing some seasoning, but perhaps it's "lodge logic" pre-seasoned.  <sep>  Q: How much crust mix should I use when making a it for a cast iron pan?

CONTEXT: Wrapping food in plastic wrap before refrigerating has a few obvious benefits:1) keeps the food from drying out in the fridge.2) prevents odors (garlic, onions, fish, etc.) from transferring between the item in question and everything else in the fridge.3) keeps crumbs, extraneous particles from falling into the food. If there were a lot of mold/microbe life already proliferating in the other refrigerated goodies, it might even serve to slow down slightly their penetration into your new leftover food on intra-fridge air currents (...ovbviously I'm reaching here)But no, you don't have to use the plastic wrap; it's just a custom.  <sep>  Q: Do I need to seal the food with food wrap before put them in the fridge?

CONTEXT: It really depends on the density of the bottom sponge. If it's too light, you might have a problem. To be doubly sure, take some wide straws (the ones about 1cm across) stick them in the bottom layer, then snip them flush. These will act like columns to support the top cake.  <sep>  Q: Is it possible to stack the top tier cake without using a cake board?
Output: Yes
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  Q: The oil is on the stove for a long time, I have extra virgin olive oil, will that do? A: With Olive oils, the more refined they are, the higher their burning point.

CONTEXT: It might be possible to dissolve the candy, and then boil it down again, foaming it with fresh baking soda when it hits the proper stage. The thing is, the candy has already got the full level of baking soda reactants (either sodium carbonate or sodium oxide) from from the first cooking, which may contribute to some off flavors.Instead, if it is enjoyable as is, I would suggest just eating it as a toffee like candy.Otherwise, chalk it up to experience and watch the temperature more closely next time.  <sep>  Q: What can I do with badly cooked honeycomb? A: dissolve the candy, and then boil it down again  Q: What temperature do I need to bring it to for it to become honeycomb?

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? A: to remove excess (unflavored) water from the exterior  Q: how is gelatine used? 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What would the next steps be?

CONTEXT: If you live in Poland, you should easily find the "normal" white ones in your supermarket. They should be good for baked beans, although the British version uses white beans that are a bit smaller. For more American style beans, you could also use the pinkish-brown or spotted type.There are so many types of beans, that I can't give a specific "name". Stick with the smaller ones, as they have less starchy parts and usually keep their shape better.  <sep>  Q: What bean species are best for baked beans?

CONTEXT: The professional (read: industrial) solution would be maltodextrin powder. It is rather tasteless, has good solubility in liquids, and doesn't change much texturewise. In homemade spice mixes, the popular filler solution are dried breadcrumbs of a very small size (like breadcrumbs for schnitzel breading). They are noticeable, because the mix gets gritty, but the consensus among those who do it is that this is a feature, not a bug. They could also slightly thicken a wet dish (soup, stew), but present no problem when strewn over dry food. You can also use a nut flour made of nuts without much of an own taste, like apricot kernels or low quality overdried almonds. Again, this will be somewhat gritty, but not as hard as the breadcrumn solution.  <sep>  Q: Hello, I am trying to find an extender/filter for my spice mix. Any recommendations? A: The professional (read: industrial) solution would be maltodextrin powder. It is rather tasteless, has good solubility in liquids, and doesn't change much texturewise  Q: It does not change the texture much but will it change any other properties of the mix? A: the popular filler solution are dried breadcrumbs of a very small size (like breadcrumbs for schnitzel breading).

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?

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: How long should the mix sit for?
Output: No
CONTEXT: There's not really anything easy you can do. Even adding lemon zest or essence isn't really going to help; it'll just give you a lemony but still sweet cake. I suppose theoretically you could add sour things, since that does tend to balance out sweetness, but it's tricky since acid will interact with the leavening. A sour icing, or a sour sauce to serve it with, might be a better bet in that vein.So unfortunately, you'd be best off shopping around for cake mixes that are more the level of sweetness you want. You might be able to use the nutrition facts to help get a sense of how sweet they are before you buy them.  <sep>  Q: How can I make cake mix less sweet? A: theoretically you could add sour things  Q: What kinds of sour things do you recommend to add/ A: A sour icing, or a sour sauce to serve it with, might be a better bet in that vein  Q: Would certain cake mix flavors be less sweet than others? A: you'd be best off shopping around for cake mixes that are more the level of sweetness you want  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you have any other ideas for tempering sweetness?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: The old thin utensils were made of Nylon.The reasons they are hard to find is that traditional Nylon is difficult to manufacture within food standard guidelines for PAA (Primary Aromatic Amines) migration, and does not bio-degrade or burn safely. For relevant references, your local government health department will have papers on PAA migration.Given that, many utensil manufactures have moved on to other plastics, mostly silicone. Though some use PA66 (Nylon 6,6), which is that thick chunky black plastic stuff.Try wooden spatulas. They are simple, clean, disposable, and you can get them in thin wedge shapes (e.g. at Asian supply shops).  <sep>  Q: Where did the thin, smooth plastic spatulas go?###20 years ago, the most common type of rigid spatula (or "turner") was smooth, thin (as in 3mm or less with a sharp edge), and generally made of nylon.### These spatulas were not very durable (leading edges tended to melt), but they were very very good for making eggs and other delicate non-stick-pan dishes. A: they are hard to find is that traditional Nylon is difficult to manufacture within food standard guidelines for PAA (Primary Aromatic Amines) migration, and does not bio-degrade or burn safely  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why did manufacturers stop making thin, smooth plastic turner spatulas?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: There are good quality vegan margarines (Earth balance, Alsan) on the market nowadays, often they are of the interesterified instead of the hydrogenated variety. They are designed to behave and taste similar to butter instead of (as many cheap margarines seem to do) staying spreadable at temperatures where butter would be very firm. Unlike pure coconut or palm oil, they do not act very brittle when cold, and also they soften gradually instead of suddenly melting like eutectic solder. These should be on the top of the list of things to try...Also, some recipes recommend using more than one type of fat in pastry, for more interesting texture (eg such margarine, and smaller flakes of a hardened coconut fat).  <sep>  Q: Are there any butter alternatives for baking pastry?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: From a cooking perspective any imitation sauce or marinade is never going to deliver the quality that venison has to deliver. We have a massive deer farm close and the price is still ridiculous .My suggestion is that you find a good butcher that will age beef for you on the bone ,or you could age it yourself if you have a climate control area to keep it at the correct temperature. Anything over 30 days on the bone will start to give you the gaming flavour you are craving. Nothing is going to match deer, but aged beef or really any type of cattle (eg buffalo etc) will give you the gaminess if it is aged. Restaurants are getting up to 180 days, which I could only imagine would melt in your mouth but the flavour would be intense.  <sep>  Q: Is there any way to add the gamey flavor of venison to other foods I enjoy? A: From a cooking perspective any imitation sauce or marinade is never going to deliver the quality that venison has to deliver  Q: Do I have any other options?

CONTEXT: After creating a new batch using the same process as my first one, but with a different, non-Greek, starter yogurt (which uses a different set and balance of bacteria than the starter I used for my first batch), I found that the texture was the same as my starter yogurt and was without the pithy texture. Therefore, it seems that it is, in fact, the difference in fermentation, which depends on the types of bacteria cultures in a given yogurt that determine the texture of Greek vs non-Greek yogurt.  <sep>  Q: What causes the texture difference between Greek style yogurt and regular yogurt? A: the difference in fermentation, which depends on the types of bacteria cultures in a given yogurt that determine the texture of Greek vs non-Greek yogurt  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How could the texture of Greek style yogurt be described?

CONTEXT: The great benefit of brining is that it opens the fibers of the meat and allows the water, and what is dissolved in the water, into the meat. I suggest you convince yourself of this by adding a fragrant herb such as rosemary to a chicken breast brine, and comparing it side-by-side with an unbrined breast. The difference, deep into the meat, will be noticeable. It is not large chunks of the herbs that find their way into the meat, but the oils and dissolved parts. That is why you heat and steep the water before cooling it for brining.  <sep>  Q: What brine ingredients are effective? A: a fragrant herb such as rosemary  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there others?

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?

CONTEXT: My own sugar cookie recipe is quite dry as well. It cracks along the edges when pressed or rolled and is easily "broken".I've never experienced a problem with the dough being so dry it doesn't take to cookie cutters, but if your dough is literally falling apart you may want to just spritz (or in the absence of a kitchen water spray bottle, sprinkle with your finger tips) cold water on it. (Like adding water to pie dough) Give it one sprinkle/spritz and kneed it in. Repeat until it just stops breaking. Don't go overboard and make it gooey.I'd use water over oil or milk because it's the least likely to change the structure of your cookie in the baking process. Such minuscule amounts of water shouldn't yield a detectable change in the end product.If this is a consistent problem with the recipe, in the future I'd decrease the flour by a tablespoon or two and see if that helps.  <sep>  Q: I am not the best baker, how can I fix my dry crumbly cookie dough? A: My own sugar cookie recipe is quite dry as well. It cracks along the edges when pressed or rolled and is easily "broken  Q: yes as I roll it the dough is very dry, is there anything I can do to fix it?

CONTEXT: Grana padano and pecorino romano are two other very savory, hard grating cheeses that work well on pasta. They taste a bit different than Parmigiano-Reggiano, but are quite good in their own right and often less expensive. You can also look at parmesan type cheeses that are not actually Parmigiano-Reggiano. For example, Whole Foods often has one from Argentina that offers a reasonable price/performance tradeoff. All of that said, in many people's opinion, nothing is really quite as delicious as true Parmigiano-Reggiano.  <sep>  Q: Is there a Cheaper alternative to parmesan cheese?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: Rose petals are edible. If you look for rose petal recipes, you will find many creative uses of them, including rice pudding with roses - so your pudding intuition was correct. During colonial American times they were considered a treat. You can candy rose petals with egg whites and sugar - typical cautions about appropriate raw egg white useage applies.Before using your rose petals in culinary applications, make sure to remember what chemicals you used on them. If they've been sprayed with pesticides, you don't want to be eating them.  <sep>  Q: How can I use roses in cooking?

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, presumably because of it's claimed digestive properties. Asafoetida is incredibly pungent; anything more than a pinch seems too much and unpleasant  Q: Is that why it kills the other spices?

CONTEXT: Using roux - flavoured with curry powder and aromatics - is a well known, often used technique for japanese and chinese style curries. Your mileage may vary with beurre manie (known to be finicky), if results are not satisfactory try cooking the powder/aromatics in oil/butter and only then adding flour and whisking (classic roux technique).Mind that indian and thai style curries use combinations of nut and seed pastes, coconut milk, yoghurt, cream, or just plain rich onion sauces/tomato stews to achieve thickness, sometimes helping things along with small amounts of cornstarch slurry - but rarely ever with roux and related techniques.  <sep>  Q: Can I add seasoning to the beurre manie? A: use combinations of nut and seed pastes, coconut milk, yoghurt, cream  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Would ginger be a good flavoring?
Output: No
CONTEXT: In the fridge, an hour should not be a problem, but could still end up bitter depending on the kind of onion used. Usually, Marinades, Pestos etc. that use mashed onions and/or garlic taste best if they are made the way the name "Pesto" suggests: Cutting stuff very fine, then using a mortar and pestle. Most explanations WHY that is the case have to with the fact that blenders tend to disintegrate cell walls with relatively rough cuts of a fast but half-sharp or blunt blade, releasing more enzymes etc. from the cell walls as opposed to from the cell contents. These are plausible, since some of the compounds in different parts of onion cells are known to actively react when the onion is disintegrated.Also, try adding oil (which you often want in a marinade anyway. No unrefined olive oil in a blender, though - that is known to get bitter!) while mortaring or blending - this will help extract flavor compounds and probably provide some oxidation protection.There is a well known marinade working with onions, garlic etc: Bulgogi marinade.  <sep>  Q: How long can blended onions stay relatively fresh? A: In the fridge, an hour should not be a problem, but could still end up bitter depending on the kind of onion used  Q: Will blending onions with burgers get rid of the textured vegetable protein taste? A: Usually, Marinades, Pestos etc. that use mashed onions and/or garlic taste best if they are made the way the name "Pesto" suggests: Cutting stuff very fine, then using a mortar and pestle  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will baking the burgers with onions right away effect how bitter the onion taste is?
Output: No
CONTEXT: It is true, in my experience. However, if your recipe does not require salt, you should not be adding it, of course. Removing moisture from onion with the aid of salt helps it reach its desired state (brown or translucent, as desired) faster.I am most familiar with the use of onion in Indian cooking. I generally add a pinch or two of salt to onion when I start sauteing it. Onion starts sweating as soon as you add salt and start stirring. The reason that salt draws out moisture from onion is osmotic pressure. The surface of the onion acts as a semipermeable membrane barrier. Since the solution outside the onion is more concentrated with respect to salt, water moves out of the onion to the general liquid side, to balance the osmotic pressure on either side of the onion surface.  <sep>  Q: Is there any advantage to adding salt to onion while frying? A: Removing moisture from onion with the aid of salt helps it reach its desired state (brown or translucent, as desired) faster  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the right about of salt to add?

CONTEXT: If you whisk egg whites to much they will definitely separate.Basically you are over tightening their stretchy proteins which squeeze out all the water. You are left with useless protein fluff floating on water.The flavor and odor will not change, however.

Output: Yes
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 flavourings? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: So should I form the patty to a bare minimum so the strands of ground beef are still visible?

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: How to spread peanut butter that is required to stay refrigerated?

CONTEXT: Put the meat in a sealed plastic bag, place in a bowl in the sink, fill with cold tapwater, then set the tap running in a thin stream with the water overflowing the sides of the bowl. The moving water will safely thaw the meat through convection. Make sure you get as much air out of the plastic bag as you can. You might need to put some weight on it in the bowl to keep it submerged in the water.  <sep>  Q: I need to quickly and safely thaw frozen ground beef, what are my options?

CONTEXT: Yes that's exactly what it means, apply salt to the steak. You shouldn't coat it, but you should apply salt very liberally. It's actually hard to over-salt a steak; many inexperienced cooks actually underseason the steak.I suggest about 1 tsp per side for a good ribeye. Salt it about 10-15 minutes prior.  <sep>  Q: What does it mean to 'salt' a steak prior to frying? A: exactly what it means, apply salt to the steak.

CONTEXT: Advance warning: I haven't tried this.It seems that you don't want to remove the ovaries because that would affect the shape, but you do want to remove the capsaicin from them. It's soluble in fat and alcohol, so you could try making a small hole in the bottom and pumping a light vegetable oil or vodka through from the other end using a syringe. Obviously you're likely to end up with some solvent trapped inside, and you might also wash away some of the flavours you're trying to preserve, so experimentation would be necessary.  <sep>  Q: How can I make fresh chili peppers less hot? A: e, but you do want to remove the capsaicin from them  Q: I want to keep the flavor, but how do I remove or offset the actual heat? A: It's soluble in fat and alcohol, so you could try making a small hole in the bottom and pumping a light vegetable oil or vodka through from the other end using a syringe  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will using vodka make the chilis alcoholic?
Output: Yes
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? A: You aren't destroying calories, you are adding water (=0 cal) to the dry rice  Q: So to maintain the same calories I just don't drain the water? A: the rice absorbs the water  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there a difference in the calories or say white rice compared to brown rice ?
Output: No
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 time it takes a specific dough to double will be the same regardless of the size of your batch  Q: Would doubling or tripleing the recipe make it to heavy to rise as fast? A: 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  Q: So the temperature will effect the rising time? A: warmer dough rises quicker than cold dough  Q: Is there a suggested temperature to proof your bread at? A: room temperature  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is that why recipes call for adding warm milk or water?
Output: No
CONTEXT: As you probably know, volkornbrot and similar breads are designed to bake at a lower temperature for a longer time. 240 C sounds way too high to me. 150-180 C should be about right, and leave the bread in for a long time (up to 3 hours), until the loaf starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Even after this baking process, because the bread batter is much wetter than a standard bread, you should not slice or eat the bread until it has had time to cool and "rest," about 24 hours. If you slice it right away, the heat and moisture escape and the inside is still doughy/raw. If you wait, the moisture will have time to distribute throughout the loaf and the inside will firm up. Just be patient! The benefit is that the loaf should last for a very long time wrapped in plastic, especially if you put the unused portion in the fridge.  <sep>  Q: I tried to make black bread in the microwave, but why didn't it work? A: 240 C sounds way too high to me. 150-180 C  Q: What can I do to fix it for next time? A: 150-180 C  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is the ready-made dough mixture okay to put in the oven even though it says microwave?
Output: No
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  Q: Would you recommend it in relish? A: 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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What about with carrots and onions?
Output: No
CONTEXT: Some ingredients do not dissolve well in hot water - the starch swells and thickens, forming lumps that may have raw powder in them and are nasty. They need to be added to cold or lukewarm water and heated after they are dissolved. Other ingredients, most notably pasta, will partially dissolve in cold water making a thick gloppy soup. But if you add them to hot water they will "seal" (in a way) and stay together as they cook.  <sep>  Q: Why are some kind of packets-soups boiled up in lukewarm water, while normally just stirred into already boiling water? A: if you add them to hot water they will "seal" (in a way) and stay together as they cook  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why does it say to wait 5-10 minutes?
Output: No
CONTEXT: In the Caribbean and other Rum producing areas, you find Rum in all sorts of recipesIt is sometimes an unusual flavour pairing, but not necessarily bad. In savoury cooking it adds a semi-burnt sweetness, more like toffee or butterscotch than straight RumCaribbean and Mexican cooking is well blended and harmonious with many common ingredients (chilli, coriander, avocado etc.)Considering the popularity of spicy jerk meat and Rum, the Rum Fajitas would be an interesting experiment  <sep>  Q: What does adding dark rum give to a fajita stir-fry? A: It is sometimes an unusual flavour pairing, but not necessarily bad. In savoury cooking it adds a semi-burnt sweetness, more like toffee or butterscotch than straight Rum  Q: Will Mexican food pair well with dark rum? A: Caribbean and Mexican cooking is well blended and harmonious with many common ingredients (chilli, coriander, avocado etc  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is rum used in other dishes similar to this?
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 and why would one infuse flavor into sugar for baking? A: where you just want a hint, infusing the sugar is great  Q: Why not just add the ingredient directly into the recipe? A: The classic example is using stripped vanilla pods to make vanilla sugar  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: How do you do it?
Output: Yes
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: What kind of pan would I need to use?
Output: No
CONTEXT: In my experience, rice can be cooked in any pot. I cook quite a lot of Japanese style dishes, and as far as I can tell the rice is cooked in the same way as any other.For myself, I've done it in good "induction-able" steel pots, as well as huge (navy galley) aluminium pots, and a couple of low-quality stainless steel things too. They're all fine.Normally, as soon as the pot is at/near boiling, turn the heat down to a low setting and leave it in the pot until it's ready. Then take it off the heat, but leave it covered (don't peek) for another five minutes.Generally, once you've added the water, you put the lid on. You only start the timer when it's boiled and you turn it down, though. That's probably why a glass lid is better, so you can see the boiling. It's not critical to the process, though.  <sep>  Q: Do I need a specific pot to cook Japanese-style rice? A: In my experience, rice can be cooked in any pot  Q: So how can I cook Japanese Style rice ? A: I cook quite a lot of Japanese style dishes, and as far as I can tell the rice is cooked in the same way as any other  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What is the water to rice ratio I should use ?
Output: No
CONTEXT: If the yeast isn't out of date then the most likely sounding culprit is the temperature of your water. It should be between 105-110. If it's too cool then you won't activate the yeast and if you get it too warm you'll start to kill it.Another possible case can be when you're adding the salt. If it's going in before or at the same time as the sugar you will arrest the gas production and activity of the yeast.Get the yeast, sugar, water mixture going first and create a shaggy dough with your flour. Add the salt as you're starting to bring the dough together so that it doesn't act too quickly to arrest the yeast development.If you keep your flour in the freezer or refrigerator, make sure it has come to room temperature before adding it to the water or the chill of the flour will de-activate the yeast.  <sep>  Q: How do I get my pizza dough to rise? A: If the yeast isn't out of date then the most likely sounding culprit is the temperature of your water  Q: What temperature should the water be? A: It should be between 105-110  Q: What else do I need to consider A: Another possible case can be when you're adding the salt. If it's going in before or at the same time as the sugar you will arrest the gas production and activity of the yeast  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you have any tips on baking or oven temperatures?
Output: No
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  <sep> FOLLOWUP_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: 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: My homemade ice cream texture is gritty/sandy, any advice? A: It sounds very much like you didn't manage to completely dissolve the sugar  Q: How should I do this? A: 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  Q: What would the next step be after dissolving the sugar? A: That does make the chilling take a bit longer, probably more like 4-8 hours or overnight, not just 1-2 hours  Q: How do I get the best texture? A: in my experience heating to dissolve is pretty much standard in ice cream recipes  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you have any other tips or advice?
Output: Yes
CONTEXT: When metal is exposed to microwave radiation, an electric potential difference can develop as the microwaves generate electric charge in parts of the metal. Flowing electricity can cause sparks as electrons migrate to places of lower potential. Solid metal is susceptible to this because its electrons are relatively loose, making it a good conductor of electricity.Calcium (Ca) in milk is bonded with other atoms (mostly as calcium phosphate), so it doesn't behave as a solid metal would: first because its electrons are secured in bonds with other atoms, and second, because the Ca atoms are not aggregated together but intermixed with nonconducting ones.  <sep>  Q: How come heating milk in the microwave is safe? A: Calcium (Ca) in milk is bonded with other atoms (mostly as calcium phosphate), so it doesn't behave as a solid metal would: fi  Q: Why doesn't it behave the same? A: first because its electrons are secured in bonds with other atoms  <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Are there other reasons?
Output: Yes
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? A: really high heat and pan-fry in a single layer, very quickly  Q: I really enjoy pan frying zucchini in a small amount of olive oil Sometimes it overcooks with high heat. A: 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  Q: It always turns out tasting great, but it is often times really soggy. A: wait to season with salt until it comes out of the pan so it doesn't draw out the water prematurely  Q: never thought of that ### Is there any way to pan fry the zucchini without making it soggy?
