Refrigerated - for best shelf life and nutrient retention. Oranges last longest in a cool area that is well ventilated. They maintain their flavor and quality for up to six weeks when refrigerated between 35 - 50F degrees.
a French term meaning "of the forest," referring to dishes (usually poultry, meat or game fowl) garnished with butter-sauteed potatoes or potato balls, bacon or salt pork and wild mushrooms such as chanterelles, morels and porcini.
At what temperature do you cook beef?
If you want to marinate the roast, start 30 minutes to several hours in advance. The roast must be cold when you start this recipe. It will also cook more evenly if it is tied into a compact cylinder.
Adjust the oven rack to center position and preheat to 475 degrees F. Take the meat directly from refrigerator and place on a cake rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Roast exactly 30 minutes. Remove the pan with the meat from the oven; immediately reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Insert an instant-read meat thermometer at one end of roast, going into thickest part of the center (the temperature will range from 80 to 110 degrees). Let the roast rest at room temperature, uncovered, for exactly 30 minutes. (At this point roast's internal temperature will range from 115 to 140 degrees.)
After this 30-minute rest, remove meat thermometer, return meat to oven, and roast until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of roast reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees, usually 15 to 30 minutes longer, depending on roast's internal temperature at the end of the resting period.
Since the roast may cook unevenly, take temperature readings from a couple of locations, each time plunging thermometer to center of the meat and waiting 15 seconds.
Let the roast stand at room temperature, uncovered. for 15 to 20 minutes to finish cooking. (The temperature should register between 150 and 155 degrees F.)
Call your local Orthodox rabbi or go to the Chicago Rabbinical Councils website at www.crcweb.org and send them an email. They will give you exact information, but the basic steps probably are to let it sit unused for 24 hours, then to turn on the self-clean cycle, but you should double check!
How long is marinating chicken good for in fridge?
Raw chicken should only be kept refrigerated for two days. Chicken carries bacteria like salmonella which can be fatal for those with compromised immune systems.
Almost all salad dressings are based on a vinegrette -- an emulsion of an oil and and acid (typically but not always vinegar). Other ingredients make up most of the different diressings. For instance:
The basic vinegrette formula is to start with your acid (vinegar, citruses like lemon, etc.) and non-oily ingredients (salt, pepper, herbs, etc.) in a bowl, and gradually whisk in the oil quite slowly until an emulsion (the suspension of one liqiud in small globules within another; in this case oil suspended within water based acids). If you do this correctly, the two liquids appear to combine.
From basic vingrette comes:
Mayonaise (egg yolks added to thicken the emulsion -- they're part of the fat side of the water acid/fat equation).
Thousand Island Dressing -- to mayonaise add sweet gherkins and ketchup, or something similar.
Ranch Dressing -- to mayonaise, add sour cream, herbs, shallots/scallions, etc.
And so on...
In summary, nearly if not all salad dressings are based on a fat/water acid emulsion and grow from there.
How do you season a rib roast?
I use freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix these spices together in any proportion that suits your tastes and rub it onto the entire roast prior to cooking.
Is boiling point an intensive property?
It is a physical property. boiling is just evaporation and all it is is a change in matter from a solid to a gas, therefore being considered a physical change rather than chemical.
How do you keep uncooked potatoes from turning brown?
As soon as you cut the potato put it in a bowl of cool water, it will keep them from turning brown for about 24 hours, just make sure that the potatoes are completely covered in the water.
How do you cook a sausage in the toaster?
You can, but only if the toaster has been designed to do that. Otherwise, it will be dangerous.
How long do you boil soft boil eggs?
I cook them seven minutes, then cool. I use cold water to cool them quickest, then pour the water out and "slosh" the eggs in the pan to crack the shells. Water again, and the shells just slide off.
Can you substitute apple sauce for oil butter or margarine in a recipe?
It's might be better to substitute oils, butter and margarine with applesauce in oil-based baked goods like muffins and breads, or moist cakes. Substitute applesauce one for one with the oil, and it helps to add in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. They say a little oil goes a long way in contributing to a better taste and texture. I've done this a few times with a zucchini bread recipe that calls for 1/2 cup of oil. I use 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce and the bread tastes great.
What temperature do you cook a smoked ham?
though precooked, it is best when baked usually at 18 minutes per pound. it is safe to eat but would not taste as good.
How do you cook pumpkin seeds with cinnamon?
Well, first off, after you have separated the seeds from the pumpkin guts, you should soak them in a very strong salt water for about an hour. After that, put them on a foil baking sheet on the top rack of your oven and bake on 200 degrees F for twenty minutes or until golden brown. When golden brown, take them out of your oven while still warm and toss with more salt, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. Hope this helps!
How do you remove an eggshell from the yolk?
You take a needle and put it in the top and bottom, to make little holes, then you have to blow out all the goo on the insides. This is a looonggg process, and your cheeks will hurt, but its really the only way
1.it denatures the proteins making it easier to digest,and easier to chew. Human jaws evolved into their sleeker form because cooked meat required less chewing. 2.it kills off harmful bacteria, such as salmonella in poultry, and parasites, such as the roundworm that may be present in uncooked pork and that causes trichinosis 3.it preserves for longer than if you left it raw, this is especially true of curing or smoking meat 4. it tastes better. A seared meat surface will contain caramelized sugars, which are sweet and tasty. Also, cooked meat will contain fat in a liquid state, which carries fat-soluble components of flavour.
How long should you cook Boneless chicken breast with bacon wrapped around it?
First, I would recommend that you cook them in a covered dish as chicken breasts tend to get a little dry. You might want to put little water or broth in the bottom of the dish, as well. Cook at 350degrees for about 40-45 minutes. You can uncover them for the last 5 minutes or so if you want the bacon a little crisper Make sure to check w/a meat thermometer (to make sure they are at about 175 degrees) or, if you don't have one poke them with a fork and make sure the juices run clear.
What is the function of a roasting pan?
A roasting pan is a form used for roasting things in an oven. They are highly heat resistant, to withstand oven temperatures. Roasting pans are made of metal, borosilicate glass (like Pyrex), silicone, ceramic, enamel, and even aluminum foil. They often have lids which are used to retain heat and juices, but can be removed for browning.
Why is there a green color around the yolk of a hard boiled egg?
The yolk in usually said to be yellow, though due to a different diet, free-run egg yolks are usually a more orange colour than the eggs from chickens eating layer pellets. Some people prefer this colouring, and the fact that the chickens are not mistreated, as a reason to buy free-run eggs over eggs from chickens raised in battery cages, despite the usually higher price.
Is Fahrenheit boiling water as hot as Celsius boiling water?
Yes. Water boils at a given temperature (depending on pressure) regardless of how it is measured. It is true that a Fahrenheit degree is not equal to a Celsius degree, but 212 °F is the same as 100 °C. They're the same temperature, the same amount of "hotness" or "heatedness" as each other.
Here's an experiment. Two pots of water are put on two adjacent burners of a stove and brought to a boil. Doesn't it make sense that the water in either pot is as hot as the water in the other? If the temperature of one pot is measured with a Fahrenheit thermometer, and the other with a thermometer that reads in degrees Centigrade, the temperatures are different, but that's because of the different scales of the thermometers. The water in one pot is just as hot as the water in the other.
212 F is boiling
In a large pan I fry onions until they are transparent, and garlic (depending on how much you like it), salt and pepper. Then I add the chopped liver, and some more herbs like rosemary and thyme leaving it there to slow cook for 15 min.
When it's done, I add boiled potatoes chopped same size as the liver, slowly mixing the ingredients to have a unified flavor.
I serve it hot with tomato salad and red wine, specially Casillero del Diablo, Carmenere.
Enjoy!

It's not a unit of measure. It's a kind of thing. In a recipe, lemon zest or orange zest is the thin outermost part of the rind. When grated into fine bits, it is used as flavoring.
In cooking, the zest is the thin outer peel of a citrus fruit, obtained by grating the peel of the fruit until one sees the white of the fruit. In a lemon, it's about a tablespoon. In an orange, it's about 3 tablespoon.
