Can yeast produce a gas when no sugar or other food is available?

If there is nothing to metabolize, which is what yeast are doing with sugar, then they will most likely not grow and not produce any CO2. With that said, there are many strains that can continue to grow and reproduce with other chemical sources, not all of which create CO2 as a bi-product. That is to say, that sugar is not the only thing they can "eat."

Why do apples turn black after baking?

When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products. O-quinones then produce the well documented brown color by reacting to form compounds with amino acids or proteins, or they self-assemble to make polymers.

How is custard made?

Basic Baked Egg Custard from my grandma's handwritten cookbook, c1900:

3 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup sugar

2 cups scalded milk*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine slightly beaten eggs with sugar and salt. Slowly stir in milk and vanilla. Pour into 6 custard cups and set them in a pan of hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until knife comes out clean.

The basics and a few nice to have items:

- Several good cook books and a collection of "family" recipes.

-Bowls, various sizes - to mix and or combine ingredients in, hold bread dough while it rises,

- Measuring Cups & Spoons - you will need both dry (these come in a set of gradated sizes) and wet (1 cup and a 4 cup)measuring cups. -dry you fill and level, wet are transparent with gradation marks. Spoons come in a set with gradated sizes, it is handy to have more than one set.

- Baking pans - square, rectangular and round cake pans (several sizes as recipes vary), pie plates, cookie sheets (more than one as you will need lots), muffin tins (big and small), a pizza pan, specialty pans (a bundt cake pan, a tube cake pan, loaf pans large and small, etc.)
