How many yams in a pound?

Depends on the size of the yams. Ones I cooked today weighed about 1 pound each.

If you're truly talking about yams, the more accurate question would be:

How many pounds in a yam, since the real thing is truly enormous at up to 5ft long, 6 inches high, and 150lb.

Sweet potatos are not yams. They are actually of a totally different family of tubers, but on the average they run anywhere from 4oz to 18oz.

Defrosting a 31 lbs turkey how long?

The best way to defrost anything is in the fridge. It keeps the food out of the danger zone, but it does require more time to thaw. If you plan to eat your turkey on the weekend I'd say pull it as early as monday and put it in the fridge on a tray.

Can you use sour wine in cooking?

If you're asking whether you can use wine that has turned vinegary in cooking, my advice would be don't do it. If you've had a wine that's gone sour, or vinegary in the bottle, you have no idea why this has happened, was the wine old, was there a failure in the bottling process, whatever. Dump it down the drain, and buy yourself a new bottle of wine, or buy commercially produced vinegar, and don't take risks with unknown situations.

In addition, as a general rule of thumb, if the wine is not good enough to drink then it is not good enough to cook with.

How do you cook meatball?

The basic recipe for meatballs has a lot of variations. Basically it's a pound of ground meat (any kind, even ground turkey), an egg, a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.

You can fry them, bake them, or simmer them. When you mix the ground meat, seasonings, egg, and bread crumbs, form your meatballs.

Brown them in a skillet turning on all sides until the are browned on all sides and break one open to make sure they are cooked through.

If you bake them, put them on a cooking sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 minutes. You don't have to stir them around and you can cook more at once. Be sure to check with a thermometer or by opening one to make sure they're cooked through.

If you don't want to cook them separately, you can put them in the tomato sauce raw and let them simmer right in the sauce until they are done. They absorb the flavor of the sauce and impart their flavor to the sauce.

Which pot is good for cooking and health?

I have found that the healthiest pot to use for cooking is one that does not rust,alter color,or combines with your food to give it a metallic taste.In all the years of cooking I am very satis- fied using a heavy bottom double layer stainless steel pot. It is odorless, easy to clean and always new looking.Cooper pots cook faster, distribute heat more evenly but discolor in time.

Another response:

I love my old cast iron skillets, griddles and Dutch oven. It takes very little effort to prevent rust and maintain their "seasoned" surfaces. The traces of iron they add to food is an extra nutritional benefit.
