Can you use plain flour instead of cornflour?

Not in all recipes; for most baking recipes substituting plain flour for cornflour will not work, since cornflour has no gluten (which is what makes dough springy) and it requires far more hydration. Adding some cornflour to the flour in baking will result in lighter baked goods, but only until the total flour is 5% cornflour; after that the baked good gets progressively more dense and inedible. Cornflour is useful for thickening custards, which plain flour is not so good at. But you cannot bake normally with cornflour. Both cornflour and wheat flour have a similar calorie content, wheatflour is lower in the glycemic load (GL) index compared to cornflour, and whereas cornflour is considered "highly inflammitory" (i.e likely to cause a reaction), wheatflour is only considered "inflammitory."

Not always. Some recipes calling for a dutch oven are first heated on the stove top to brown meat before adding other ingredients and placing in the oven.

How do you cook baked potatoes in a crockpot?

Cooking baked potatoes in a crock pot is actually quite easy, and saves energy. Simply wash and dry each potato. Then rub them with butter or vegetable oil, then wrap in aluminum foil. Place them in the crock pot on 'high', and cook with the lid on for several hours. You can start testing for doneness by piercing with a fork after about 6 hours. If they are almost done by that time, check them every 20 to 30 minutes till they are fully done.

Does cocoa powder come from cocoa beans?

Yes, it does! There are different methods of processing cocoa beans. Sometimes instead of using the whole bean to make chocolate, it's separated into two parts - cocoa butter, and cocoa powder. The processes used to do this are either the 'hydraulic press' method or the 'Broma process'. The edible part of cocoa beans before they're processed is about 55% fat, so the separation usually produces 50% cocoa butter, 50% cocoa powder.
