TASK DEFINITION: Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational questions and answers about the paragraph, say whether the passage contains sufficient information to answer the follow-up question. Say Yes if it is answerable; otherwise, say No. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by the answer prefix 'A:', and the follow-up question has a prefix 'FOLLOWUP_Q:'.
PROBLEM: 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 <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: And why do we then squeeze it? I would assume it's to get rid of something but my searches return no results.

SOLUTION: Yes

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Probably not. Cans are generally marked at point of filling, not at point of manufacturingThe plastic liner looks plastic'y in all cases, it's very hard to tell. Epoxy is harder than other plastics, but there are epoxies that are BPA free anywayAluminium cans are more likely have a epoxy liner that will give off a trace of BPAMany steel cans do not use epoxy or other BPA plasticsHaving said that the tested BPA release from a can is 100's of times lower than the recommended maximum daily dose. So in theory there is nothing to really worry aboutThe common sense answer is, if epoxy dissolved into the cans contents they wouldn't use it would they. The whole reason it's there is to stop the contents 'eating' the can <sep> Q: Is there a definitive way to know if a tin can is lined with BPA? A: Probably not. Cans are generally marked at point of filling, not at point of manufacturing Q: Is there any sign of BPA just from looking at the inside of the can? A: The plastic liner looks plastic'y in all cases, it's very hard to tel <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Why should BPA in cans be avoided?

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: I recently found a different sauce that had a similar butterscotch note to it. It turned out this one was a very simple pan sauce built with brandy and beef stock as a deglazing liquid which was allowed to reduce by about 2/3 and then it was finished with a hint of cream.The fond came from a steak cooked in butter so there was probably a little browned butter in there as well.At this point I think the reduced brandy is a big contributor to the flavor I was identifying as butterscotch. This makes sense as brandy is generally somewhat sweet and usually has fairly strong caramel notes. <sep> Q: How should I develop a butterscotch flavor in a savory sauce? A: I think the reduced brandy is a big contributor to the flavor Q: What ingredients can be used to develop these flavors? A: a very simple pan sauce built with brandy and beef stock as a deglazing liquid Q: What techniques can be used to develop these flavors? A: The fond came from a steak cooked in butter so there was probably a little browned butter in there as well Q: Have you had a savory dish that includes butterscotch flavors? A: I recently found a different sauce that had a similar butterscotch note to it <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What did you eat it with?

SOLUTION:
No
