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: To prevent the sticking, you might want to use a spray oil, maybe even just on the foil before you put the vegetables and potatoes on. It's a tiny amount of oil, not enough to make things noticeably greasy, but will be pretty effective. Another spray over the top will make them brown a little more nicely and may even prevent a little drying out. Alternatively, you can just toss them all in a bowl with a small amount of oil; it really doesn't take much, and I'd hardly describe it as "covering with a lot of oil."As for preventing things from drying out, first and foremost, don't overcook them. Broccoli and onions both roast very nicely, but you definitely want to pull it out before it starts browning/burning too much. If you slice the potatoes thinly enough, they'll cook in roughly the same amount of time as the broccoli and onions. So if things are getting overcooked, just don't leave them in the oven as long.You can also always try covering them. Another sheet of foil over the top will trap a fair amount of moisture, letting them steam a bit and probably preventing some burning as well.(I suppose it's also possible that it's all drying out because you're cooking them too slowly, so they have plenty of time for moisture to escape, but that seems less likely given the way you described things.) <sep> Q: Looking to bake side dishes, how do I stop problems with dryness A: As for preventing things from drying out, first and foremost, don't overcook them Q: Is there any way to keep stuff from sticking to tin foil? A: you might want to use a spray oil, maybe even just on the foil before you put the vegetables and potatoes on Q: I don't like too much oil, I may just have to boil my vegetables, have you ever heard of boiling onions? A: It's a tiny amount of oil, not enough to make things noticeably greasy, but will be pretty effective

SOLUTION: Is there anything else I could use?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: A lot of sourdough recipes don't call for a sponge, per se, because the starter essentially already is a sponge. The purpose of a sponge in a bread with normal yeast is to allow a longer fermentation time and extra time for enzymatic reactions to happen in the flour before adding it to the final batch. This isn't necessary with sourdough the starter is continuously fermenting and reacting. And your guess is about right, if the proportion of starter you add is too high, the waste products and dead yeast cells in it can cause changes in the gluten that make it very slack and unusable. <sep> Q: How does a sourdough sponge work? A: The purpose of a sponge in a bread with normal yeast is to allow a longer fermentation time and extra time for enzymatic reactions to happen in the flour before adding it to the final batch Q: Why is it important to increase the fermentation time ? A: The purpose of a sponge in a bread with normal yeast is to allow a longer fermentation time and extra time for enzymatic reactions to happen in the flour before adding it to the final batch Q: wouldn't the sourdough break down the gluten in the sponge ? A: if the proportion of starter you add is too high, the waste products and dead yeast cells in it can cause changes in the gluten that make it very slack and unusable Q: What is the right amount of starter I should use ? A: if the proportion of starter you add is too high, the waste products and dead yeast cells in it can cause changes in the gluten that make it very slack and unusable

SOLUTION: do you have any other tips for making a perfect sponge ?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: I've struggled with this issue as well because I live in a moist climate and instant espresso powder cakes up on me between uses.Generally recipes which use instant espresso power are trying to add a kick of bitter and roasted flavors to deepen chocolate flavors and make them richer. You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness. Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors -- and caffeine -- to the cookie or cake than you want. Also, instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid.There's no real way to substitute liquid coffee in most recipes, such as chocolate cookie or brownie recipes, because the recipe has no water in it in the first place. In the rare recipes where there is water, you could substitute strong-brewed coffee for an equal quantity of water+espresso powder, and this would likely work fairly well.So, summing up: there's no really good substitute for instant espresso powder in recipes which call for it that I've found with some significant experimentation. Hopefully someone else has had better ideas than me. <sep> Q: I love instant espresso but would like know if there are any instant espresso powder substitutions? A: You can try substituting instant coffee 1:1, but the flavor of the baked good will certainly suffer a loss of richness Q: How would the taste be affected overall? A: Increasing the amount of instant coffee, however, would likely add more bitter or acidic flavors Q: Do I use the coffee the same way as the espresso powder? A: instant coffee takes longer to dissolve, so it needs to be added straight to a liquid

SOLUTION:
Can I use the coffee as a substitute in recipes that require espresso powder?
