Cooking Techniques

Water boils at a temperature of 212°F (100°C) at sea level. The state of boiling refers to the process in which a liquid turns into vapor due to an increase in temperature.

A beaker of water heated over a laboratory burner is an example of convection. The molecules at the bottom of the beaker begin to rise to the top and the cooler particles sink. This allows for the transfer of heat.

Yes, cardamom is also known as "elaichi" in Hindi.

Vegetables can be cooked without added salt. But salt causes water to boil at a higher temperature than unsalted water, shortening the cooking time. Salted water also improves the flavor of most vegetables.

Heavily salted water boils at about 213F (100.5C). The main reasons for adding salt is to keep starchy foods from sticking, prevent nutrient loss by "sealing" the surface of the food or to enhance the flavor of foods.

Melting point (at 2.5 MPa): 0.95 K, −272.20 °C, −457.96 °F

Boiling point: 4.22 K, −268.93 °C, −452.07 °F

Green yolks in hard-boiled eggs are a result of overcooking, not the cooking method used. This occurs when sulfur and iron compounds in the egg react, creating ferrous sulfide, which gives the greenish color. To prevent this, avoid boiling eggs too long and immerse them in cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process.

it is more of a physical property depending on the strength of the substances' atomic/molecular columb forces, and the difference between internal and external pressure. so no it does not involve chemical property

I'm not sure if this is true or not but I think that it turns green from it being in the light or in the sun. for example if your making mashed potatoes and you put your potatoes on the window sill and there is TONS of light and you leave it there for five hours cuz you forgot and you saw it and it's green than that's probally cuz of too much LIGHT NOT DARK. I hope it's right.

Other than the obvious differences, the process of dissolving something with a lower vapor pressure (higher boiling point) into water will cause the resulting solution to have an overall lower vapor pressure and therefore a higher boiling point.

When you burn chocolate, it turns bitter and acrid in taste due to the caramelization of the sugars in the chocolate. The fats in the chocolate can also begin to smoke and release a burnt odor. Overheating chocolate can cause it to seize up and become grainy or clumpy.

Boiling points of elements and compounds vary, as do the scale units you are using.

It depends on the fluid.

For water it is 100 degrees centigrade, 212 degrees fahrenheit. Helium has the lowest known boiling point, -268.9° C (-452° F), tungsten is thought to have the highest, about 5900° C (10,650° F), at the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

To cook cactus pads (nopales), start by removing the thorns and outer skin. Then, you can slice, dice, or boil them depending on the recipe. Common cooking methods include sautéing them with onions and garlic, grilling, or adding them to soups and stews.

The melting point is the temperature at which a solid changes phases into a liquid. This is a result of the highly structured atoms of the solid, which have very little kinetic energy beginning to gain energy and dissociate. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. This happens when the atoms/molecules of a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to escape the liquid and move into the gaseous state.

No, it is not safe to eat dried kidney beans that have been soaked for 2 days. Kidney beans contain a toxin called phytohaemagglutinin, which can cause food poisoning if not cooked properly. It is recommended to soak dried kidney beans for a few hours, discard the soaking water, and then cook them thoroughly before consumption.

Pure water has a boiling point of 100 degrees C. With limited exception, this is the maximum temperature for aqueous water, above which it becomes a gas. When you add salt, it raises the boiling temperature, therefore raising the maximum temperature.

By adding salt, you're effectively raising the temperature of the water.

Cooking with tin foil doesnt take less or more time .It is a different way of cooking altogather .When the food is in a oven wrapped in tin foil say its fish it is getting more steamed then baked.If it was not rapped the fish would be being baked and not steamed like in the foil .

To Flavor The Noodles When salt is dissolved in water, it lowers the boiling point of the water slightly. This means that the water should boil faster as it boils at a lower temperature. The effect is small, however.

No, potato flour and potato starch are not the same. Potato flour is made from the whole potato, whereas potato starch is extracted from the potato. Potato starch is a white, tasteless powder used as a thickener, while potato flour has a stronger potato flavor and is used in baking for its flavor and texture.

Water, when boiled, changes form into steam, which will leave whatever is dissolved in it in the original container. Salt dissolves in water, therefore it is left in the container from which water has evaporated from when boiled. Basically, the water boils away before the salt does, so you are left with salt.

Salt is added to processed foods for flavor enhancement, preservation, and texture improvement. It acts as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold, thus extending the shelf life of the product. Additionally, salt enhances the overall taste profile of the food, making it more appealing to consumers.

Fennel seeds often provide quick and effective relief from many digestive disorders. They help to overcome heartburn, gas, cramps, acid indigestion, and other digestive tract maladies.

For menstrual problems: Fennel seeds have some amount of hormone estrogen and hence known to stimulate menstruation.

Fennel seeds for curing baby colic: It can be given as fennel tea or diluted fennel oil. Lactating mothers can include fennel seed powder in the diet which may also pass on to baby through breast milk.

Also fennel seeds are known to increase the production of breast milk.

Fennel seeds increase the production of urine(diuretic) and it increases the production of bile. Bile is essential for digestion and absorption of fat and fat soluble vitamins. Diuretics are essential to lower blood pressure and to get rid of excess water and salt from the body.

All and all a pretty amazing herb!

The water level DECREASES because: As you boil water, the bonds between water molecules are broken and they turn into gas. The water vapor rises leaving less liquid water then there was before.

Placing a cooked egg in cold water helps stop the cooking process, preventing it from overcooking and ensuring a perfectly cooked egg with a tender texture. It also makes the egg easier to peel by contracting the egg white from the shell.
