What is the difference between burpless cucumbers?
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?

When to pick Japanese cucumber?
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.

No offense to cucumbers, but when the are ripe, they tend to look plump and fat.

What is the normal size of a cucumber?
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.
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.
A cucumber is botanically a fruit, but usually is regarded as a "culinary vegetable". (Tomatoes are another example of something that's technically a fruit, botanically speaking, but is used as a vegetable in cooking.)
Yes. Pick the male flowers (the ones that do not have a tiny cucumber at the bottom) in the morning since they close at noon. Rinse in cool water and place on paper towels. You can place in the refrigerator for use later the same day. Use in salads to add color and a mild cucumber flavor.

How can the cucumber be prepred for a bearded dragon?
First, the cucumber needs washing to remove any pesticides that could harm your beardie. It should then be cut into small chunks, preferably with the skin removed. The chunks should be no bigger than the space between the beardies eyes. Sprinkle the cucumber with a calcium supplement if needed, if he/she's not getting enough calcium from crickets etc. Spray with water, as the main point of them eating salad is too keep them hydrated. :-)
Can you grow cucumbers in shaded areas?
Cucumbers thrive in full sunlight and typically require at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and fruit production. While they may tolerate partial shade, growing them in shaded areas can lead to reduced yields and weaker plants. For the best results, it's advisable to plant cucumbers in a sunny location to ensure healthy growth and abundant harvests.

How do you prune cucumber plants?
There are a few considerations given when planting cucumbers. It is good to give consideration to plant the cucumber on the ridge. Before starting to plant the cucumber, get a a stick and start making a deep furrow of about 1 inch. Place it in the middle of the ridge. On every foot in the row, put in at least 3-4 seeds. Next, put an inch of soil over the seeds. Firm up the soil. Remember not to grow the fruits next to trees as they fight for nutrients. It is also a good idea to plant lettuce in the middle of the cucumber hills. These crops are a bit faster in growing, so the amount of space wont go wasted. The slicing types of cucumber plants grow atleast 8 inches long and an inch thicker. The picking variants grow 4 inches long. Hope this helps.
