TASK DEFINITION: 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:'.
PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Probably not. Cans are generally marked at point of filling, not at point of manufacturingThe plastic liner looks plastic'y in all cases, it's very hard to tell. Epoxy is harder than other plastics, but there are epoxies that are BPA free anywayAluminium cans are more likely have a epoxy liner that will give off a trace of BPAMany steel cans do not use epoxy or other BPA plasticsHaving said that the tested BPA release from a can is 100's of times lower than the recommended maximum daily dose. So in theory there is nothing to really worry aboutThe common sense answer is, if epoxy dissolved into the cans contents they wouldn't use it would they. The whole reason it's there is to stop the contents 'eating' the can <sep> Q: Is there a definitive way to know if a tin can is lined with BPA? A: Probably not. Cans are generally marked at point of filling, not at point of manufacturing <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Is there any sign of BPA just from looking at the inside of the can?

SOLUTION: The plastic liner looks plastic'y in all cases, it's very hard to tel

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: In my experience, the most likely impact of a gentle boil vs. a furious rolling boil is going to be on texture of starchy foods, such as potatoes or other root vegetables, rather than flavor.I've found that a gentle simmer of potatoes will result in a mostly intact shape and consistent texture, whereas an aggressive boil without perfect timing can result in the outer layers of the potato breaking apart, sometimes before the center has time to cook fully.I've seen similar issues with stuffed parcels of pasta like ravioli or boiled won tons. I've also found that open pot egg poached eggs have much nicer results with a gentle simmer than an aggressive boil, perhaps for related reasons.Since part of how we experience taste is texture, you could say that the "taste" is affected. <sep> Q: Can food be boiled "extra fast/hard" in water? A: In my experience, the most likely impact of a gentle boil vs. a furious rolling boil is going to be on texture of starchy foods, such as potatoes or other root vegetables, rather than flavor <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Anything, can if effect the taste?

SOLUTION: I've found that a gentle simmer of potatoes will result in a mostly intact shape and consistent texture, whereas an aggressive boil without perfect timing can result in the outer layers of the potato

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Unless you're straining the soup, I'd assume that the whole vs. cracked isn't going to be helpful in removing them, although I will admit that I can't recall seeing a recipe that called for whole peppercorns that didn't require cracking them.Part of the reason for whole pepercorns is the surface area -- if you crack it, you'll create more surface area, and for the same amount of pepper, there'd be more pepper flavor.It's also possible that there's a difference between the chemicals available in the outer hull of the peppercorn vs. the middle, but I don't know how you'd compare, simply because the cracked pepper would be more overpowering. <sep> Q: Why whole peppercorns? A: Part of the reason for whole pepercorns is the surface area Q: Is there anything else you can tell me about the surface area? A: if you crack it, you'll create more surface area, and for the same amount of pepper, there'd be more pepper flavor <sep> FOLLOWUP_Q: Anything else you can tell me about it?

SOLUTION:
