Cooking Techniques

oxidation.

the oxygen in air reacts with the surface of the newly cut lettuce and turns it brown.. i think the surface of the knife can have a small layer of oxidation on it too, so that can affect the lettuce as well or at least that's what i think happens....... you can get plastic lettuce knives....

Most fruits and vegetables have two chemicals called enzymes and poly-phenols. When these two chemicals combine, they "oxidizes" which turns fruits and vegetables brown. These two chemicals are usually separated by a cell wall which breaks down over time, but cutting and tearing can damage these cell walls causing browning at the edges.

Usually metal knives are thought to brown lettuce faster then tearing or using plastic lettuce knives though there is very little support for this. Either method will cause browning, and lettuce is usually consumed quickly after being cut thus browning is not an issue.

Remove any giblets from the cavity, take a large sharp knife a cut straight through the breast, breast bone and wish bone, open out the chicken, turn upside down and press flat, you have butterfly'd your chicken, to keep it in shape take a metal scewer and push it through the bird from one thigh to the other.

This well depend upon how you make your chicken curry. If you have a specific recipe, you can add more ingredients from your recipe that aern't spicy, epically if it calls for dairy products like yogurt, sour cream, milk, cheese, etc. If the curry is the only thing that is spicy you can cut the amount of curry that it calls for in half and replace the other half with just a basic poultry seasoning.

You will have several days after peeling the potatoes to cook them, but only if you keep them submerged in water and refridgerated. This isn't recommended for non-commercial uses but many restaurants (even the four star ones) do this ahead of time to save some time, also they have the space and equipment to manage this easily. Remember, the longer you soak the raw potatoes, the more nutrients you lose.

The best way to clean an old copper lamp is to clean it with a brass cleaner to make it shiny and to remove the patina. One can also apply a little bit of lemon juice in a cup of water and use it to wipe off the green stuff. Try it first with a copper cent.

to keep our self clean is making our selves clean and refreshing

and by cleaning our body like: brushing the teeth, cleaning the ears, cleansing our face, washing our nails, bathing our whole body and washing or shampooing our hair and the rest of it.

This is obviously a homework assignment. But follow this guide and make sentences that include each of the steps. Ideally, use the present tense, or the imperative form as shown here.

1. Select bread, peanut butter, and jelly to be used and place on a table.

2. Take out 2 pieces of bread and put them on a plate.

3. Spread jelly on one slice of the bread (and be generous).

4. Spread peanut butter on the other slice of bread

5. Carefully invert the peanut butter slice and place face-down on the jelly slice.

(6) Slice any way you like, and then enjoy your sandwich.

The bitter taste comes from the white flesh between the outer shin and the fruit. Avoid eating that and it will help a lot. Also otherwise bitter and sour can be helped with good old sugar. Some people taste these flavors more strongly than others and have troubly with strongly flavored foods.

For liquidy foods such as soup, it is really quite simple. Toss a couple of pieces of cubed potato in. Potato is really good at absorbing salts. If your mixture is very clear, the potato may cloud it though. Make sure you chunk it large enough you can easily fish it back out when you are ready.

I have also found that (when appropriate to the dish); Adding some (red) wine will

minimize the salty taste and boost the natural flavors of the dish.

Soy chunks are made from soy flour after the soybeans have been processed to extract the soy oil.

The remaining crushed beans are then milled into flour that now contains mostly proteins, some carbs and fiber.

This flour is mixed with water in a vacuum, and goes through an extruder which has holes of different forms and diameters depending on the kind of chunk you want to make.

As the soy paste goes through these holes in a continuous flow, blades cut them into chunks so they have a regular size.

The outer side of the extruder hole is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure, and air is forced in during the extrusion, so the chunks that come out immediately expand in size and get the aerated texture that gave them their name of "textured soy protein" (TSP.) They are then dried and packaged.

It is this aerated texture that make them great for cooking, because the broth in which they are cooking can penetrate deep inside like a sponge, making them absorb all the flavors you put in. Otherwise it is pretty much tasteless, although it still has that great meat-like chew quality.

I personally prefer the large chunks, the granulated ones that are used to simulate ground meat are shock full of chemicals I don't really want to eat when I am looking for a healthy source of proteins. Unfortunately, this large size does not exist with an organic label, only the smaller and less tasty (to me) sizes can be found with an organic label.

If not organic, most of the soy used in TSP comes from genetically modified plants. The oil extraction process itself is very damaging to the quality of the bean, as it basically cooks the beans to make oil as fluid as possible, which destroys the vitamins present in the beans, and furthermore, solvents are used to extract the last few drops of oil that may remain after pressing or centrifuging the oil from the beans. And no doubt there are other chemical processes involved. I have yet to find a good TSP that fits my requirements...

I bought two fresh lemons and quartered them. I brought a small non stick pan of water to a boil. I put the eight chunks of lemon in the water and let it simmer for about four hours. I checked it often and added water when necessary. I also turned on the fan above the stove to allow the steam to rise up there, in hopes to neutralize any odor in there as well.

I also bought an air odor eliminator spray - not the cover up kind but the kind that is supposed to kill odor causing bacteria.

I'm never cooking onions in my apartment ever again!

Hotdog, burger, and taco on sandwhich maker!

Spoiled lamb has a potent odor due to bacterial growth and the actual meat spoiling. If the meat is bad, it will usually have a strong sulfur or ammonia-like smell to it.

Put a large peeled raw potato into the pot for 1/2 an hour, taste and if still too hot with the pepper, then put another potato in and leave another 1/2 hour. Peeled, thickly sliced, raw potato has more exposed surface area than a whole one. One can dilute the soup with stock (if possible) or add water and a thickening agent. It may be possible to hide the taste a bit with something else strong, like herbs or a bit of brown sugar.

It is better to not melt it. That will just make a sticky goopy mess. So you should melt it in cheee sauce.

you have to melt it to a certain point

There are countless different recipes for different types of batter. Generally speaking, batter contains flour, salt, oil and liquid. It may also contain sugar, eggs and some type of leavening such as baking soda or baking powder.

Cream splits if it is cooked for too long of a to high a temperature, so add your cream at the last minute, and then turn down the heat or remove from the heat completely, and keep stirring all the time, serve immediately and enjoy.

In Minecraft, PC Edition, raw fish can be obtained by fishing. A fishing pole can be crafted by opening a crafting table, putting 3 strings diagonally in the grid, and placing 2 sticks vertically below the top most string.

Cooked fish can be obtained from trading with villagers.

First, make a bowl. This is the crafting recipe.

A A A

WAW = B

AW A

A = Air (Nothing)

W = Wood

B= Bowl

You then get 4 bowls.

Then, get a brown mushroom and a red mushroom (these can be rare, so keep on the lookout), and on a crafting table, put a bowl on the bottom, and 2 mushrooms on top (doesn't matter which order the mushrooms are in) and you have soup!

To cook the raw fish in panfu, you go into the Restaurant next to the Salon, and click the lady wearing an apron in the corner. Then you wait until tomorrow once you've clicked on her and when you have waited, you click on her again and she gives you the fish she cooked.

One tablespoon of active dry yeast is approximately 1/3 of an ounce. There are 28 grams in an ounce, so one tablespoon is approximately 9 grams.

Yes! Cook your potato peelings, throw them over the fence to your chooks, and watch them gobble them up! Then watch them lay eggs with free potato peeling vitamins. Throw lots of greens to your chooks, vegetable scraps from the kitchen or from the garden. Better yet, let them have the run of the yard and find their own greens.

I would say it is some sort of thousand island dressing. And now I want one ;)
