Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, answer a follow-up question from the paragraph. The paragraph has a prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by answer prefix 'A:'. The final followup question has a prefix 'FOLLOWUP_Q:'.

[Q]: CONTEXT: There's no reason why you couldn't boil vegetables as you make the stock and then puree them in as a base. It's really about taste and the result you want. Making the stock without vegetables in it will give you a clear broth with a simple pork flavor and the vegetables will be distinct in it. If you add vegetables while cooking the stock and then puree them in your base will be much more vegetable-y, and opaque - the color will be determined by the vegetables added. The pork taste will be a bit more hidden by vegetable flavors. Spices and herbs are 2 separate matters. In general you can overcook herbs very easily but it's hard to overcook spices (although some spices can change during long cooking times). Adding bay (laurel) is one of the exceptions herb-wise. Spice-wise adding at the beginning will make the spice permeate the meat, careful not to overdo it though.Like I said it's all about the look and taste you want. <sep> Q: Should I add vegetables and spices in the stock-making stage of pig-knuckle soup? A: There's no reason why you couldn't boil vegetables as you make the stock and then puree them in as a base. It's really about taste and the result you want Q: Do you think fresh vegetables would be better for soup? A: the vegetables will be distinct in it. If you add vegetables while cooking the stock and then puree them in your base will be much more vegetable-y <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Will the puree make the base thicker?
[A]: opaque - the color will be determined by the vegetables added

[Q]: CONTEXT: Unfortunately, the above answers would probably be good for fresh tortellini, or frozen or something like that. Following the advice, I had the dried tortellini floating on the surface within a minute or two, puffed a little too. I fished one out, and it was definitely hard. I let them boil for another five minutes and they were barely edible, some even a little crunchy in places.Last week I managed to hunt down the bulk package at the market (used to fill the bin), and there were directions on it: Boiling time: 15-18 minutes. And yes, since the boiling water cooled down to simmer as I added them. In 15 minutes they were still a little al dente but after another 4 minutes they were entirely soft, and just right. <sep> Q: How to prepare bulk dried tortellini? A: Boiling time: 15-18 minutes <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Drop into hot water or bring to boil with water?
[A]: the boiling water cooled down to simmer as I added them

[Q]: 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 <sep> FOLLOWUP_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
