How do you slow down the cooking of your turkey?

I asume you mean the turkey is cooked on the outside but raw in the middle, cover the bird with foil to stop the skin burning, add some water to the roasting pan to create steam which will help keep the bird moist, turn down your oven, then slowly cook the turkey until it is done.

Can you cook pork chops in a steam bag?

It is possible to steam pork chops, however, you would get a much more delicious result by broiling them. If you do not want to broil them, you can also cut them up into bite sized pieces and stir fry them or put them into a stew, which is also better than steaming. Make a nice pork stew, with onions and potatoes. Steaming is better suited to making rice, or broccoli.

How do you cook top round?

Does smoked ham need to be soaked before cooking?

I would suspect not. The only reason I can think of that you would need to salt a ham before cooking and eating it is if it is salt cured. (You soak it in plain water so that the process of osmosis will draw the excess salt from the salt cure process out of the ham and into the water.) If a ham is smoke cured, I can't see why it would have been salt cured as well. You could always take a quick small taste of the meat to make sure the salt content is not excessive, but I cannot imagine that it would be.

How do you cube bread?

Only if it's baked in a tin with a rectangular lid, such as for "crustless" loaves. Normal loaves baked in standard loaf tins develop a domed top, making them not cuboid.

"Crustless" loaves are baked in completely sealed cuboid tins, which does mean they develop a cuboid shape. However this may be squashed slightly during packaging.

Clearly, not all bread is baked in a loaf tin - for example French baguettes, bloomers, cottage loaves etc... free-form loaves are never going to be cuboid.

How can you keep a smoked pork loin warm after it is smoked for serving in a couple of hours later?

I think there are a couple of ways you can try to do this. First, brine the meat the day before cooking. The salt not only flavors the meat, it tenderizes it by breaking some of the protein strands, and IIRC, it also creates a "crust" which helps retain moisture inside the meat. I would also serve the meat with at least a jus, or a gravy, so its sitting in a moist environment. And keep the dish containing it covered, to keep as much moisture inside the dish as possible.

How long does it take to boil potatoes to make potato salad?

While there are a variety of different recipes for making potato salad, the majority use red-skinned potatoes because they are readily available and simple to cook. For potato salad, you are looking for a tender (but not crumbly) potato.

Depending on your recipe, you will want to boil the five (5) pounds of potatoes between 13 and 17 minutes, checking for tenderness along the way. You can check for tenderness by pressing a spoon (or other hard implement) against one of the potatoes firmly. When there is about 3mm (1/4 inch) of give (that does NOT come back), the potatoes are ready.

You may cook longer if you like a somewhat softer potato in your salad or shorter if you like the salad firmer.
