question:
I would like to make choux pastry, and the recipe I have emphasises bringing the pan quickly to a boil after the butter has melted into the water at the beginning of the procedure.I only have electric hobs available, which can take a few minutes to go from a simmer to a proper boil.Will this have a negative impact on my pastry, and if so is there a way I can work around it?

question:
I followed all of the tips. Prime sirloin, taken out an hour before cooking. Salted thoroughly 30 minutes prior. Patted dry with paper towels. Thrown on a high (650) degree grill for two minutes per side, finished on low for 3 minutes per side (internal temp was still about 400). Rested 10 minutes.Results: Good sear, beautiful medium-rate insides. Plenty of juice. Enough salt. Problem: the exterior was almost like bark. It wasn't scorched or burnt, but just really really dry.What was the misstep?
answer:

question:
I have a hard time finding hints on how to sous-vide guineafowl breasts properly. Traditionally in an 140-165C oven they're really hard to get right. Some of the few recipes i've found place them in a bath of ~65-70C for some 30-120minutes. This feels a bit short for my taste, as i'm not sure whether the breastmeat will reach the desired temperature at its core in such a short time. So the time-temperature for this cut in sousvide would be one point i'm interested in.Furthermore, i've often heard that poultry especially contracts muscle fibers when "temperature shocked". So i guess i'd start the bath with cold water and cold meat, to get a slow heat-up.The last question is for sauces which could go well with it. The meat itself should be way more aromatic than many other poultry meats. Due to this i'm not sure if using the liquid from the sous-vide-bag as a base for sauces (i.e. fruity riesling butter sauce with caramelized onions and some mushroom bits? Maybe others?) is a good idea. On the other hand, if not using the meat-juices there's pretty little base you can make a sauce of right?
