So when you make things like soup, you can let it simmer for a while with the lid on so it stays hot and the water doesn't escape

Because of evaporation and condensation. The water evaporates because of heat. When this water is now cold, it condenses ant turns into water. This is just like the rain cycle .

First, you don't have to put a lid on the pan but it helps because the heat cannot escape and it boils the water faster and so it won't pop all over burning you

Because if the pan has liquid in it, with rice, vegetables or other items and is boiling or simmering, then the steam or the air will evaporate and the food would burn.

Condensation collects on the inside of the lid.

The heat has nowhere to go when you have a lid on it. When you heat something especially with moisture in it its always going to make steam regardless.

What is wet heat in cooking?

Whenever some kind of liquid is involved in cooking food, it is being prepared with a "moist-heat method." When you boil eggs, steam hot dogs, or stew beef, you are taking advantage of moist-heating - you are letting the heat travel through the liquid to the food.

Can you feed your dog chunky beef soup?

I recently got a cat and found my dogs were super jealous of the cat's wet food. I decided to add a small amount of wet dog food on top of the dog's regular food. I bought Beneful Turkey and the dogs LOVE it. I realized it looks a lot like Chunky Soup and so I compared ingredients. From what I found, the Chunky soup was a MUCH healthier option. It didn't include the corn starch or meat by-products that were in the wet dog food but it DID include the same green beans and rice. Also, in the wet food, wheat gluten was the second ingredient, while in the soup wheat gluten was the second last ingredient. Keep in mind I was comparing Turkey wet food to Chicken and Rice Chunky Soup.
