TASK DEFINITION: Given a paragraph about cooking, and a set of conversational question answers about the paragraph, generate a relevant question to the topic of the paragraph. The paragraph has the prefix 'CONTEXT:'. Each conversation question has a prefix 'Q:' followed by the answer prefix 'A:'.
PROBLEM: CONTEXT: How exactly are you making them? This might affect the answer.I assume you're using some sort of mold. If that's the case, plunge the mold into an ice bath, but don't completely submerge it. Assuming your mold is metal (molten sugar is hot!) they will cool rather rapidly although I can't give you an exact time.In general, an ice bath is the way to go for rapid cooling. You could get it a little cooler by adding a generous dose of salt to the ice bath, but meh I think you'll only shave a few seconds. <sep> Q: Cooling melted sugar quickly? A: molten sugar is hot Q: What the easiest way to make 1 inch cubes and cool them down enough to hold their shape? A: I assume you're using some sort of mold. If that's the case, plunge the mold into an ice bath, but don't completely submerge it Q: How long will it take the to cool? A: Assuming your mold is metal (molten sugar is hot!) they will cool rather rapidly although I can't give you an exact time

SOLUTION: Did I mention that the molds are aluminum?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: This will also water down the flavour of the soup. Depending on the type of soup you are making you may have some cooking liquid left over which would be far preferable to plain water.In fact it's not a bad idea to start with a little more cooking liquid than necessary. Use a fine-mesh sieve to separate the soup ingredients from the cooking liquid. You can then re-introduce the cooking-liquid a bit at a time until you arrive at the right texture. That gives you a margin of error.Adding milk, cream or sour cream are also possibilities, again, depending on the soup. <sep> Q: Can I adjust soup texture right before serving? A: Adding milk, cream or sour cream are also possibilities, again, depending on the soup Q: What is the best additive to improve with out taking away?###Is there anything I can do to help before the texture is off? A: Use a fine-mesh sieve to separate the soup ingredients from the cooking liquid. You can then re-introduce the cooking-liquid a bit at a time until you arrive at the right texture

SOLUTION: Should I add more flavor after adding the additive?###Will this always work? ###What aspects change after adding the additive?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Tender means soft and not brown. Sour cream will curdle if the fat content is not high enough (if it is high, it is called creme fraiche, techniquelly) and if you cook it down too much on too hot heat. Next time, use higher fat content and cook on lower heat. Cream, sour cream and creme freche are not really substitutions, not techniquelly and not taste-wise.Mixing butter and sour cream will work, if you take your time and boil down with hardly any or no bubbles. <sep> Q: My sauce made from butter and cream is flaking and curdling, do you know what could be wrong? A: Sour cream will curdle if the fat content is not high enough

SOLUTION:
Oh I did use sour cream, I wonder if that was it. It happened after I threw in garlic and shallot, could that have been what caused it?
