What is the difference between burpless cucumbers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is as yet undetermined. Much research has been done into it, but the actual compound - if any- that causes a cucumber to be 'burpy' hasn't been isolated. The main study in this area tested various people with different types of cucumber and rated them on a scale of 1-9 for 'burpiness' (That in itself makes for interesting thoughts!). The conclusion was that oriental trellis cucumbers are often marketed as 'burpless', and these have thinner skin so there is possibly something in the skin. These cucumbers are no less bitter than others, so that eliminates that compound as a cause. Some think it may be the presence or lack of seeds that contributes.

Is it right to use the same knife to prepare raw chicken and raw cucumbers?

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely not. Raw chicken contains Salmonella and there is nothing in a cucumber that would neutralize that. By using the same knife to prepare raw chicken and then ANY vegetable results in cross-contamination.

When to pick Japanese cucumber?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A cucumber will be ready to pick when it turns a shade of green that is a little bit lighter than one of a pickle. A cucumber is not a small vegetable, nor is it large, so when the cucumber is ready, it will be about the same size as a ripe squash. No offense to cucumbers, but when the are ripe, they tend to look plump and fat.

What is the normal size of a cucumber?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A cucumber can grow anywhere from a couple inches, to several feet. It really depends on the climate, dirt, gardener, etc. All sorts of environmental factors go into determining how tall (or long, as the case may be) of a cucumber.

Or, if you have it on it's side, then the height is probably a few inches. It all depends on how you look at it.

My advice would be to purchase, or grow a cucumber, and measure it yourself.

How do you brine cucumbers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on whether the chicken breasts are bone-in, or boneless. To brine 4 lbs. of bone-in chicken parts (which would include bone-in chicken breasts, thighs, wings, or legs): Dissolve 1/2 cup of table salt* and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in 2 quarts cold water. Submerge chicken parts in brine and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Rinse parts thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before continuing with recipe. To brine 4 (6 to 8oz. each) boneless chicken breasts: Dissolve 1/4 cup table salt* and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in 2 quarts cold water. Submerge boneless breasts in brine and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Rinse boneless chicken breasts thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before continuing with recipe. * If using kosher salt, use two times the amount of salt called for in each formula above if you are using Diamond Crystal brand, and one and a half times the amount of salt called for in each formula above if using Morton's brand.

4 inch cucumbers weigh approximately .56 ounces each. This means you would need 28-29 cucumbers for 1 pound. Of course, this is an estimate, as the cucumbers can weigh more or less than the .56 ounces.
