Can orange peel be used interchangeably with orange zest?

Orange zest is made from orange peel. When you grate the rind of the orange, do not grate all the way to the white, you just want to grate the orange surface. Voila!! You have fresh orange zest. The zest of an orange is the very outter layer of the orange peel...just the orange part, not the white part. The easiest way to remove the zest without getting the bitter white part is to use an orange zester or a micro rasp (looks similar to a wood file). If you don't have an orange zester you can use the smallest holes on a box grater or cut the zest off with a paring knife. If using a paring knife, chop the peel as small as possible...now you have orange zest.

What type of food is stollen in Germany?

Stollen is a dense, rich bread with butter, dried fruit, candied peel and spices. Some versions are quite sweet and may include marzipan or nuts. The top is often covered in icing/powdered sugar. Stollen is traditionally baked for Christmas or Advent in some parts of Germany, and possibly originated from the desire to have a more festive and flavoursome bread in the time of Advent fasting.

How long should you bake boneless skinless whole chicken breast?

Chicken should always be cooked through as if it is in any part raw it may give you food poisoning (particularly salmonella poisoning). The best way of ensuring that it is cooked is to use a digital thermometer, inserting this into the thickest part of the meat. The thermometer should read at least 165 Fahrenheit / 74 Celcius. You need to cook the food until this point is reached.

Obviously there are many ways of cooking the breasts, frying, grilling, baking, boiling and chickens come in different sizes (the larger the breasts and the more of them you are cooking together, the longer the cooking will take), also altitude makes a difference to the cooking process. It is therefore difficult to provide you with a definitive time for the desired temperature to be reached. However, if you were to bake the breasts in an oven preheated to 180 Cecilius / 356 Fahrenheit, it should take about 20 to 30 mins. for a pair of bone in breasts.

What flour do you use when making shortbread?

This is the way that my Scottish great-grandmother taught my mother to make shortbread and has since been passed to me.

First you must absolutely use butter. No other fat will do. Also it is better to use a superfine sugar as opposed to regular granulated sugar. I personally use icing sugar. Any given recipe for shortbread will often have too much sugar in it. Sugar plus butter plus heat equals hard. I like to make shortbread that is so short it will just melt in your mouth. It should taste the way snow looks. Sweeten your shortbread dough till it is just sweet to taste and that is it. If the recipe calls for a half cup, I usually will put in only a third. Cornstarch is also another ingredient I like to use but it can also be replaced with rice flour. The recipe found on the back of a box of cornstarch should be just fine (just decrease the sugar).

Okay, now that all the ingredients are gathered all you need to remember is the classic french pastry rule "ne touche pas". The less contact your hands have with the dough the better. I cut in the butter with either a pastry cutter or a pair of knives. I also prefer the method of pressing the dough into a round pan Scottish style to make wedges. This is much better than rolling out the dough and cutting into shapes because there is much less handling. Score the pieces out for yourself (wedges for a round pan, fingers for a rectangular pan) and lightly prick the surface with the tines of a fork. Finally bake the shortbread for a very long time on a low heat. About an hour at 275. The shortbread should be just golden at the edges. Do not attempt to remove the shortbread from the pan until completely cooled.

How do you bake a rib eye?

You don't. You really have 2 choices. Get your biggest skillet and heat it really, really hot. Drop your ribeye on it 5 minutes per side. If it is a thin steak it will be done. If not, throw it into the oven at 450 or higher for 5 more minutes a side and it should be done. Baking it the whole time would be a waste of ribeye. The other option is to put the oven on broil and move the rack up pretty close to the top. Now you are pretty much grilling the steak. Same idea, 5 minutes a side and she's done.

How many g in 1 stick of butter?

In the rectangle blocks its usually 250, square blocks 500g.

NOTE: I am "improving" this answer because it must have been given by someone living outside the U.S. In the U.S., sticks of butter are shaped differently in different regions (shorter and fatter in the South, longer and skinnier in California), but they are all 113.5 grams. Commercial butter is not packaged in blocks of 250 grams in the U.S.

Not to mention that we count in ounces, not grams!
