INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Put on the lid, shake well and swirl in the jar until all the salt is dissolved. Be prepared to add salt several times. Some salt will remain in the bottom of the jar.

SUMMARY: Pour white vinegar into a (mason) jar. Add table salt. Keep adding salt until the solution is saturated (no more salt will dissolve). Pour the solution onto a sponge or rag placed on the inverted pan's copper bottom. Scrub with a scrubber-type pad until copper is cleaned.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hang lamps made of metal and glass in your bedroom for mysterious lighting and an instantly recognizable Moroccan feel. Choose less modern styles for more of an old-world atmosphere. Get lamps with colored glass to match or complement the other colors in the room. Hang lamps or lanterns from the ceiling right over your bed, or from the frame of a four-poster canopy bed if you have one, for a cozy focal point. Try making your own lanterns or candle holders with glass jars and paint. Or, pick up string lights with round metal covers. Weave them through or around your headboard to create ambient lighting. Use pillows and cushions in bright colors and patterns to adorn your bed and create soft floor seating. Combine colors, shapes, and sizes for casual vibrance. You can sit on the pillows while lounging, reading, or enjoying your morning coffee or tea. Include poufs or low ottomans, as well as rugs and throw blankets, for a cozy low-to-the-ground seating space. Spice up an old plain pillow by buying or making a pillowcase in a bright color or pattern. You can even paint on a pattern with a stencil and fabric paint. Put down rugs in rich colors and patterns on the floor to make it feel soft and inviting. A striking rug can also provide another point of focus to the room. Look for rugs that are woven, with simplistic, abstract patterns. Berber rugs, traditionally handwoven and knotted by people in the region, are still a popular style imitated by modern makers. You can also use decadent rugs as wall hangings for a soft, decorative touch. Check vintage and antique shops for rugs, and remember that the more worn, the better! They'll add a sense of character and comfort to your Moroccan-themed room. Adorn the walls with mirrors, paintings, and images that evoke Morocco and the Middle East. Try mosaic mirrors for a visually unique, light-reflecting look. Make your own simple wall designs with a Moroccan-themed stencil design, paint, and watercolor paper or canvases. Think of classic Moroccan motifs, like camels or an "Arabian nights" style, when you buy or make your wall decorations.

SUMMARY: Use hanging lamps to add ambience. Place cushions everywhere for a cozy feel. Lay down embroidered rugs to add texture. Hang mosaic mirrors and paintings for a unique look.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Seafood is very susceptible to spoiling. You need to keep it as cold as possible before freezing. When bringing it home from the market, keep it in a cooler or a freezer bag to help maintain it's freshness, along with some ice or frozen food. Ice is the most effective way to cool down fish to take home from fishing. You can even use ice to kill small fish, as it almost immediately immobilizes them. Use crushed ice for this purpose. For every 1 pound of fish you have, you need at least 2 pounds of ice. For smaller fish, just set the fish (alive) into the ice as they would be in the water. That is, place them like they're swimming, not on their sides. Slice off the head at the gills. Scale the fish. Use the back of a knife. Grasp the tail. Run the back of the knife up under the scales as you move towards the front of the fish. Continue running the knife over the fish until the scales are gone, rinsing the scales off the knife as you go. Once you've cleaned out the inside of the fish, pack it with ice. Place it in an ice-filled cooler. Once it melts down some, pour off the water, and pour in more ice.

SUMMARY: Keep your fish fresh. Use ice to keep fish fresh while fishing. Set the small fish in ice whole. Kill, scale, and gut large fish first before putting them on ice. Check the ice often.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While you are cooking the pork chops, feel their firmness by poking them with your tongs or spatula. If they are still very soft they are still raw in the middle. If they are extremely firm they are very well done. You want to finish cooking the chops when they are firm, but not overly hard or leather-like. If they are too firm they will be dried out and tough in the middle. Remove the pork chops from the frying pan with tongs or a spatula. If you are baking or broiling the chops, then use an oven glove to safely remove the dish they are cooking in from the oven. In a frying pan the cook time will usually take anywhere from 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the pork chops. In an oven they will be done after about 30 minutes at 375 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will allow the fibers to relax and absorb the juices. The middle will also keep cooking as the pork chops retain the heat. You can make a small tin foil tent to place over the pork chops to keep them warmer while they rest. After you have let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking, cut into one of the pork chops and look at the color. It is okay if it has a little pink in the middle but any juices that flow out should be clear. Previously it was commonly taught that pork needs to be completely white in the middle in order for it to be edible. The USDA now says that pork cooked to at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) that may still look a bit pink in the middle is perfectly safe to eat. If the meat appears to be under-cooked, go ahead and pop it back into the frying pan or the oven and continue cooking in increments of 1-2 minutes.

SUMMARY:
Touch the meat with tongs or a spatula to see how firm it is. Remove the pork chops from the heat when they're golden-brown on each side. Put the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest for 5-15 minutes. Cut into the thickest part of the meat and look at the color in the middle.
