Cooking time isn't usually decreased by much if cutting the protein amount in half. A better way is to cook to the usual amount of time, but checking the shoulder as it gets closer to the deadline in order to prevent overcooking.
if the recipe calls for reg. rice, do NOT substitute if you don't have to, if you do, use less instant rice and cut the cooking time in half. You will find that it will not be quiite the same in texture and flavour.
write it two and a half timesAdded: If you double a recipe and then half it - you are back to a single recipe.
You need fractions for cooking. You use measuring cups and spoons that are sized exactly so you can add half a cup of flour or half a teaspoon of salt to your recipe.
It really depends on the recipe and the needed consistency. In most cases, half&half or even whole milk can be substituted for light cream to make a recipe healthier. If the recipe calls for heavy cream, it's really a judgment call. You might try a halved recipe with half&half to test before making a full batch. Substituting half&half or milk in a recipe calling for sweet (whipping) cream is generally NOT recommended.
You just take the amount that it tells you to, and divide it in half. Dividing it in half is using math. Pretty much you use half of everything in the recipe.
A pint is a half quart or two cups. This recipe call for a pint of milk.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-lasagna-ii/ Here is a very easy recipe for Lasagna that only takes about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, the actual cooking takes the longest time and you cant really make that quicker.
When you're cooking, the recipe might say 1 cup (250 mL), but a cup is about 237 mL. So half a cup of water would be 118 mL, which weighs 118 g.
A half of a dash in a baking recipe would be a pinch (though I would use two pinches!).
When a recipe says to cook something on medium or on medium heat, it means to use the middle of the cooking heat range on the burner. Most stoves have a setting on the knob controlling the heat that says "medium". If not, choose a position half way from low to high.
I don't allow substitution in my game. If you must, for 1 cup of half and half; Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a cup and fill up with plain milk. DO not use if recipe calls for whipping the half and half.
No. You only halve the ingredients. You may want to reduce the time cooked, depending on the ingredients, but probably not by half.
