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: Short answer: No.Long answer: this could probably be made to work, but only for a short time. At some point, and probably within a few uses, the rapid heat cycling from the fire would cause the pizza stone to crack.Pizza stones are made from corderite or clay, sometimes with grog. This offers a smoother surface than firebrick, but that smooth surface is because of a higher amount of vitrification and less airspace in the ceramic. This means they are less resistant to cracking due thermal shock, and the fact that your pizza stone is 1/4 a thick as firebrick makes that worse.In contrast, firebrick is a standard 2.5" thick, and made from higher-temperature materials with more airspace in the clay itself. These properties give it both higher thermal insulation, and higher thermal mass (so that it cools down slower). Both of these properties help it resist cracking. <sep> Q: Pizza stone as floor pizza oven vs firebrick A: This offers a smoother surface than firebrick Q: Does it get as hot as firebrick? A: the fact that your pizza stone is 1/4 a thick as firebrick makes that worse Q: Are there any advantages to using pizza stone? A: offers a smoother surface Q: Is there an advantage to firebrick? A: both higher thermal insulation, and higher thermal mass <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Ok, is there anything else you can add to help me with my decision?

Answer: the rapid heat cycling from the fire would cause the pizza stone to crack

Question: CONTEXT: There is some difference between the flavor, but seeing as there are so many other predominant flavors in Worcestershire sauce and that fact that you're (hopefully) not drinking it straight, it's fairly insignificant. It's very common for one product produced in different countries to have a range of manufacturing differences, sometimes arbitrary, sometimes to suit the local palate, and sometimes because of costs, hence people calling American Lea & Perrins a "knockoff."I've had both, and can assure you that once you've mixed it into a casserole or marinade you won't really miss anything. If you're striving for needlessly authentic British flavor you could always add a little malt vinegar to whatever you're cooking! <sep> Q: Is there a difference between US Worcestershire sauce and UK Worcestershire sauce? A: There is some difference between the flavor, but seeing as there are so many other predominant flavors in Worcestershire sauce <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Do you have any other suggestions?

Answer: If you're striving for needlessly authentic British flavor you could always add a little malt vinegar to whatever you're cooking

Question: CONTEXT: You can wait as long as you need to between pre-cook (that's the simmering) and finish (the steaming), it's how things work in restaurants.The steaming time will only go up if you let the temperature drop appreciably. Even so, you shouldn't need more than an extra minute or so. Steaming is pretty benign to rice.As far as the safety concerns...if you keep the temperature above 135 F, you are out of the danger zone, and you can hold there forever. The danger zone is 41 to 135 F, but the goal in cooling foods is to get it from hot to cool in 6 hours...below 70 in two, and then 4 hours to make it below 41 (yes, I'm ServSafe certified). So your hypothetical 30-45 minutes shouldn't cause you a problem. But watch it if you start going long. <sep> Q: How long can I hold brown rice between boiling and steaming?###I use a technique from Cooks Illustrated for cooking my brown rice. I simmer for 25 minutes and then steam for 10. It gets a nice consistent result. But how long can I hold the rice between simmering and steaming? A: You can wait as long as you need to between pre-cook (that's the simmering) and finish (the steaming), it's how things work in restaurants Q: Would I need to increase the steam time? A: The steaming time will only go up if you let the temperature drop appreciably. Even so, you shouldn't need more than an extra minute or so. Steaming is pretty benign to rice Q: Are there any safety concerns? A: if you keep the temperature above 135 F, you are out of the danger zone, and you can hold there forever <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Does it matter if it sits out for 30 - 45 minutes before finishing?

Answer:
30-45 minutes shouldn't cause you a problem. But watch it if you start going long
