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: What to doA dough should be generally risen by size anyway, not by time. But it is also very forgiving, so it will probably still give you decent edible bread if you do it by time. The best way is to wait until it has doubled, no matter what the clock shows. But you insist on going by the clock, don't change the time, wait the 30 minutes. It may be underproofed (with such a short time given by the recipe, there is virtually no chance of overproofing it), but the same would have happened if you were using the original amounts and going by the clock. Dough proofing and timeThe rising time for dough at room temperature is not affected by recipe scaling, the time it takes a specific dough to double will be the same regardless of the size of your batch. If the temperature in your proofing container is significantly different from the dough temperature, you will see some effect on rising times with different batch sizes and dough shapes, as the center of the dough will need some time to get to the same temperature as the proofing container, and warmer dough rises quicker than cold dough. This is unlikely to have a measurable effect at dough amounts used by home bakers, especially considering that the possible proofing temperature window is rather narrow. <sep> Q: How does halving a bread recipe impact rising time? A: the time it takes a specific dough to double will be the same regardless of the size of your batch

SOLUTION: So the time is about the yeast and not the recipe size?

PROBLEM: 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

SOLUTION: Does it matter if it sits out for 30 - 45 minutes before finishing?

PROBLEM: CONTEXT: Sure you can. It will not taste salty, but it also will not taste bland, it will have a "seasoned" taste. Will you like it that way, or miss the salt? That's not something we can predict (or you, for that matter, if you have not tried it before). You have to taste it so you can know if you personally enjoy eating saltless, umami food. When trying, make sure that you are using very small quantities. Measure in knifetips, not in teaspoons, add one at the time and stir well. You can easily overdo it, and there is no way to go back. Pay speciall attention to the feeling of "It's not good yet" - it can come from "not enough seasoning" or from "not enough salt", in the second case adding more MSG won't help. <sep> Q: Ran out of salt can I use MSG (monosodium glutamate) instead? A: Sure you can. It will not taste salty Q: Should I add a bit more of MSG then, or will that mess up the food chemistry? A: When trying, make sure that you are using very small quantities. Measure in knifetips, not in teaspoons, add one at the time and stir well. You can easily overdo it

SOLUTION:
Do you think that MSG and Salt are similar in appearance?
