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

How do you cook beef liver?

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.

What does the word zest mean?

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.

Why mix butter with oil for frying?

If you are lucky enough to have access to, or know how to make, clarified butter, this isn't necessary, because the clarification process removes the milk solids in the butter. Otherwise, you mix the two because the oil helps keep the butter from browning too soon. Regular unclarified butter will brown because it contains milk solids that brown, the oil helps prevent that.

How do you bake an unbaked frozen pie?

Start with the directions on the container. Most are baked frozen, and you may need to make slits in the crust.

Time and temperature vary depending on type and size of pie, but 60 minutes is common for an apple pie.

How long to boil carcass for soup?

The time depends on the size of the pieces. Small pieces, around the size of a marble, can cook in 15 minutes or less. Quartered spuds may need to boil for 25 minutes or longer. If you want to test a small piece, smash it with a fork. It should not have a hard core.

If you put salt in the water, it will raise the boiling point and allow them to cook a bit quicker.

How do you mash a large amount of potatoes?

Many chefs would use a masher, which is a rounded, slatted piece of metal with a handle (used to make guacomole), also, any spatula with slats should work. For smaller things, a fork also does well.

Can you use granulated sugar to replace powdered ones?

No, you cannot substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar directly.

However, you can make your own powdered sugar from granulated sugar using a BLENDER.

Run the granulated sugar through a BLENDER until it reaches the proper consistency. It is important to stir the sugar up from the bottom manually at least twice during the process to ensure all sugar is processed properly.

In doing this, however, you might find the end product to be slightly different in taste or consistency.

Things to consider when you substitute: powdered sugar is sugar of a very fine consistency mixed with a little cornstarch to prevent clumping. This makes it smoother for frosting mixes. It is the cornstarch that will make some uncooked things come out a little cloudy looking if you substitute, and would usually make cooked things a little thicker. You may detect the flavor difference imparted by the cornstarch in some things.

What does it mean to cream the butter?

How many tablespoons of bottled lemon juice is equal to one medium lemon?

An eighth of a tablespoon of 400 GPL Lime Juice Concentrate when added to 7/8th of a tablespoon of water will equal 1 tablespoon of fresh Lime Juice. Of course, fresh Lime Juice will taste better as the concentrate goes through an evaporation process which hinders the volatile top notes due to heating. Normal fresh Lime Juice is 50-55 GPL (Grams per Liter of Citric Acid) so the reconstitution rate is 1 part concentrate (400 GPL) and 7 parts water.

How many potatoes do you need to make mashed potatoes?

It depends on how much butter you typically like on your Yukon golds. For me, I use 1 tbsp per potato when eating them as baked potatoes. Using that as a guide, I would put in the same amount per potato if making mashed potatoes. So 8-10 tbsp for mashed 10lbs of Yukon golds.

wash the scallops thoroughly to get rid of their juices, pat dry, remove the coral (orange fin) and the very thin film and large connection around the side of the scallop, season well, maybe use some five spice to for a kick, heat a pan with a little butter in it, place the scallops in around 2 minutes each side until crisp and caramel colour, if you are really unsure, cut open the scallop as raw scallop has a more grey than white colour unlike cooked scallops which lighten in colour

How do you reduce hotness in chili?

Before using the peppers, split them open and scrape out AND KEEP the seeds and the vein-like webbing that connects the seeds to the hull. Without the seeds and the vein-like webbing the pepper hull becomes very mild. The seeds and vein-like webbing are the hottest part; add some back to the stew if the stew is not hot enough while you are cooking. * Separate the seeds from the vein-like webbing, chop it up, and add a little at a time until it is to the hotness you desire. * If you want it even more spicy, put the seeds in a blender and chop them up into small pieces. Add them to your stew in small amounts until the stew is at the hotness you desire. Add large chunks of raw potatoes in the stew and they will bring down the 'heat'. They also remove some of the saltiness. Add un-rinsed dry barley to cook in the stew.

Do you cover stuffing when cooking?

It is important to cover stuffing (dressing) while cooking it. One of the important ingredients to a good stuffing is water, and therefore, it can dehydrate making for a dry stuffing.
