How long can you store canned chicken breast?
I'm assuming here that you aren't opening the can. If you open the can and keep the chicken in the fridge, I'd say I wouldn't keep it more than three days. I have a three day rule about the refrigertor for safety's sake. If the meat is still in the can, there should be an expiration date on the bottom of the can. You could probably safely eat it for a few months after the expiration date, but if its more than six months, I think I would throw it out. Within the six months, I'd make sure and give it a good looking over and smell test before eating it.

Remove them a minute after the water reaches a boil, if you had them in the pot the whole time. Hot dogs are already cooked. Putting hot dogs in boiling water simply heats them up. If you like them grilled, that's different, but they are still already cooked.

Do you have to increase cooking time in oven for chicken if doubling recipe?
Yes, but it's not double the time. I would start checking the chicken after the recipe says it is done - you want the meat to be 165 degrees in the thickest portion of the meat. If it's not done, close the oven back up and wait another 5 minutes for every 5 degrees it is below done. Check again, and recheck as often as needed until the chicken is cooked through.
To cook a conch, you must have a steamer basket with boiling water underneath. The steam bath helps open up the conch to be pried out or simply eaten out of the shell.
How can you safely eat bacon without cooking it?
"Bacon is smoked. As I understand it, the smoking process essentially cooks the meat. Therefore, when you buy bacon, it is not raw. Assuming proper handling and no other contaminants, you should be able to eat it straight out of the package. I would double check with the vendor of whatever bacon you are purchasing."
Well no, smoking does not equal cooking. Some foods (salmon) are relatively safe to eat after being well smoked, but raw ham and raw bacon are two foods that need cooking. The USFDA is very clear on this point: Pork products must be heated to 145 degrees (F) to kill bacteria that may be present.
If you eat raw bacon you won't keel over and die on the spot, but you can get gastroenteritis (bad bacteria in your gut), and may spend the next 24-48 hours wishing you'd cooked the bacon...

You poach a whole chiken by placing it in a sauce pan and filling it with water till it just covers the chicken.Put the lid on the pan and put it on the hob .Heat the water until it simmers and leave it .Keep checking the chicken and filling up the water when ready the chicken meat should be able to be pulled off the bone.
You can fry it, cook it, or even grill it... Personally... My favorite way is to cover it in bread drums then cook it on the stove!!

How do you tell a bad egg from a good egg without opening it?
If you put an egg in a pan a of water and it doesn't sink it is bad.
* When an egg is laid, it's warm. As it cools, an air sack forms at the large end between the two shell membranes. This air sack gets larger as the egg ages because the shell is porous. The 'egg float' test WILL tell you if an egg is old, but not if it is fresh. Eggs may not float for a month or more after being laid. Some cracked eggs may be found in a float test.
* Eggs can be 'bad' without being old. If you are unsure of your eggs, by all means, use the float test. But just before using them, it is safest to follow up by breaking your eggs separately into a small dish one at a time as well. If it smells and looks okay, you should be fine to go on to the next one. Yes, this opens the egg, but it only takes a second and is MUCH easier than remaking whatever you are cooking at the time. * Since the egg is now 'opened' you can see how big the air sack is. Smaller is better. Fresher whites are thcker/stiffer; they get more watery with age. Egg yolk color depends on the diet of the hen.
How should you mix ingredients in a blender?
I suggest you not put (hard) solid objects in by themselves (like ice). It's so much easier on the blender if you float it on some kind of liquid. eg. making a milkshake: put the milk in, put the ice in, then blend. NOT Put the ice in, blend, put the milk in, blend.
Do you peel skin off of a mushroom?
For regular mushrooms bought in you local supermarket or veg shop the answer is no, don't peel them and you should not wash them either, just lightly brush of any dirt and they ready to be used. This might not be the case for some of the more exotic and rare mushrooms, but you need to go hunting in the countryside for these and know which are not poisonous.
