instruction:
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:'.
question:
CONTEXT: If I have to cook for a big group, 9 times out of 10, I go for scampi.But if you use scampi as the second course, I'm not sure what to serve it with.(I make it as an entree). Rice or bread, I'd say. I've never tried it with baked potatoes, but maybe it could work; or other options of course.But I don't know if two times fish (in a broad meaning) works for you.You can also make your meat in advance (stewing, ragout (of chicken, in vol-au-vent), meatballs) so you just need to warm it.Edit: Oops, I just saw that this is an old question... <sep> Q: I need help to plan a Menu: 10 people, dinner with lovely friends at home A: If I have to cook for a big group, 9 times out of 10, I go for scampi.But if you use scampi as the second course, I'm not sure what to serve it with <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: What else could I serve?
answer:
Rice or bread, I'd say. I've never tried it with baked potatoes, but maybe it could work; or other options of course

question:
CONTEXT: You are probably stirring the pudding too much. Cornstarch starts thickening at about 205F/95C. Once the pudding has got to that point and has thickened, stop stirring, otherwise you will interfere with the starch formation that causes the thickening. Using electric beaters probably means you are missing the point when the pudding has thickened and quickly beating the living daylights out of any starch formation that has occurred.It may also be the case that you are beating so much air into the pudding that it just doesn't get hot enough to activate the cornstarch in the first place. I would use @ecnerwal's suggestion of a double boiler, along with a balloon whisk, and some patience. <sep> Q: How can I make my pudding thicker?###How much corn starch do you recommend using? A: Cornstarch starts thickening at about 205F/95C <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Okay, do you think that if I use an electric beater that would help?
answer:
Using electric beaters probably means you are missing the point when the pudding has thickened and quickly beating the living daylights out of any starch formation that has occurred

question:
CONTEXT: Sous vide cooking is a function of temperature and the surface area to volume ratio of the food in question.If you have a high surface area to volume the cooking time will be shorter. Steaks would have a higher ratio than the roast so they would take less time than the roast. The amount of the time difference is difficult to predict exactly over such a long time scale, but a rough calculation of the ratio I spoke of would be a good starting point for a compensation factor.If you have the time and your water bath can accommodate, I'd suggest keeping the roast whole and finishing in a skillet. It's much more impressive than a steak. <sep> Q: Should I Sous vide chuck roast or chuck steaks? A: Steaks would have a higher ratio than the roast so they would take less time than the roast <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Which would taste better?
answer:
