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: Fat doesn't spoil like other foods. No bacteria can live in fat. Going rancid is a chemical reaction in which the fat molecules break down. So "leaving out" is not a problem. The major factors in going rancid are light and air. The more light hits your fat, the sooner it goes rancid. Also, rancidity occurs when the fat is oxidized, meaning that if you prevent contact with air, your fat will last longer. Both factors are minimized by transferring the fat to a tightly closed opaque container. With liquid oils, you use a dark colored bottle. As bottles are impractical for solid fat, just strain your grease into a jar, close it, and put it in a cupboard. The shelf life should be many months, probably more than a year. Also, don't worry that you can get something nasty when the grease goes bad unnoticed. Rancid fat isn't a big safety risk, and ingesting it in small amounts is not problematic. If it stinks, throw it out. Before that, there is no problem eating it. The above assumes pure, well-strained fat. Pieces of fried meat left over in the fat are a safety risk, even tiny ones. <sep> Q: How long does grease take to go bad/rancid when sitting out? A: The shelf life should be many months, probably more than a year Q: is that true for all types of grease? for example is it different for bacon grease versus ground beef grease? A: The above assumes pure, well-strained fat. Pieces of fried meat left over in the fat are a safety risk, even tiny ones <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: would it last longer or be safer if I put it in the fridge?

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough. How hot was quite hot, how long could you hover your hand above the pan? Did you notice any change to the oil once you added it to the pan, did it streak, did it start to smoke?[Personally I tend to oil the meat before placing into the pan.]I think the main flaw is the frying for a minute on each side, at the temperature you had, that cooking time was too low. Maybe 2-4 minutes on each side. A medium should have a lot more heat penetrate the edges and allow that heat to transfer and cook the steak off the heat.That's an acceptable blue/rare steak though. <sep> Q: I have trouble cooking a steak 'medium', and to be honest, cooking it at all. My steak didn't turn out. What happened to my steak? A: There are many variables here that may or may not caused OP's problem.The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough Q: Well, I heated a metal pan and added some oil when it was already quite hot put in the meat, It was 'glued' to the pan slightly - not hot enough? A: The Pan sounds as it might not have been hot enough Q: However, after about 10 minutes, the outside color had not changed much, and the inside was still raw after cutting it in two pieces to have a look, what heat setting to cook it at? A: I think the main flaw is the frying for a minute on each side, at the temperature you had, that cooking time was too low. Maybe 2-4 minutes on each side <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Okay, lengthen cooking time, still unsure on temperature setting?

SOLUTION: No

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: 'Air work' is an interesting term that I am not used to hearing, and I do a lot of it. The trick here is where will you be holding the knife as you work. A long thin blade will mean you are holding the blade as you work, which is not a problem, per se.Small bladed and hook beak knives are well suited for this, as you can comfortably hold the handle. I love hook beak knives for mushroom garnishing, coring, small veg peeling and trimming, etc...Small straight paring knives are the standard choice for this, if you don't like the hooked blade. <sep> Q: what criteria go into choosing a paring knife specifically for work in the air?

SOLUTION:
Yes
