How long do you parboil potatoes for Delmonico potatoes?
To be honest par-boiling potatoes is the same no matter what. Cover the potatoes in the pan with water and bring to the boil, then turn down until they are simmering. Leave for about 3-5 minutes but this can vary greatly depending upon potato type, size and surface area. Basically, keep checking on them until you can insert a knife into about 0.5 cm of them easily. Hope this helps

How do you heat a cup of water with batteries?
You would need a source of power giving at least 500watts to heat a cup in reasonable time. You could obtain this from a lead acid cell such as a car battery. At 12v you would need a current of say 50 amps (this would give 600watts). So the heating coil should have a resistance of 12/50 ohms = 0.24 ohms. The connectors to and from the battery would need to be rated for 50 amps without heating up appreciably.

How do you peel a prickly pear without getting the thorns in your hands?
* Excellent question! I was just pondering this the other day when I saw a prickly-pear cactus loaded with ripe pears! I wanted to go grab bunches of them but reconsidered when I thought about how much of a "pain" it would be to pick -- much less, peel -- them... I thought about it after that, and came up with a possible solution: How about getting some real thick dish-washing gloves! I think they sell them for things other than dish-washing... thicker and more impenetrable for chemicals and such. But anyway, you could use these for picking and de-pricking them! Tell me what you think?
* You need a stick; a nail; an empty tin can; a sharp, long-handle knife; some water, and a slope with sand.
Nail the tin can to the end of the stick and place it beneath the pear you want to pick. Gently cut it off the stem with the knife and let the pear fall into the can. Roll it down the sand slope several times and then place it in a clean box and wash it with water (sloshing the water around some). Now, cut of the other end of the pear, gently holding it down in place. Avoiding the thorny areas, cut along the rest of the peel and peel it away. Wash your hands and knife-pick up the inside of the fruit and eat.
Be aware that it's almost impossible to do this without getting at least one thorn; just make sure it's in your hand and not in your mouth.

Roasting times for Beef
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 8 to 10lb Joint 2½ to 3 hours The Beef can be taken out sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.

Yes, you can get food as takeout at Golden Corral using the special containers provided. Last time I checked in 2010 it cost around $4.00 per pound and they do weigh the food. Guests who dine in are not supposed to take food with them when they leave.

After freezing cookies what is the best way to defrost them?
Pre-baked frozen cookies can be left out to defrost at room temperature.
Frozen cookie dough may or may not need to be thawed at all depending on the type of cookie you're baking. 'Rolled and Sliced' or 'Freezer' cookies are meant to be sliced and baked right from the freezer. You might give the dough 5 or 10 minutes to defrost at room temperature for easier slicing, but no more than that is really needed.
Frozen drop cookies, like oatmeal or chocolate chip, that have already been formed into 'drops' don't really need defrosting either, but you may have to adjust your baking time and temperature. Generally I reduce my temperature by 25 degrees and bake 3 - 7 minutes longer with much success. Keep an eye on them and remove from oven when the tops of the cookies are no longer glossy.
Frozen cookie dough sold in buckets generally have defrosting directions on the label, but 30 - 45 minutes at room temperature should soften the dough sufficiently to scoop onto baking sheet. Bake according to manufacturer's suggestion.
