Ingredient Substitutions

You use either albumen or egg white in marshmallows because it will make its texture light and fluffy. To make marshmallows, egg whites are beaten and then added to a sugar syrup and gelatin combination.

The Indian snack Kurkure does not contain gluten. Kurkure is made of edible ingredients including rice meal, corn meal, gram meal. edible oil, seasonings, spices and condiments and flavours. There is no plastic in kurkure either.

When a person breaks it, the wearer will give them a lapdance.

This depends on the serving size. Usually, plain beef is about 50 calories a cup. That is an 8 oz cup.

Gravy Master is a substitute for Kitchen Bouquet. Both are a browning sauce used to caramelize the outside of the meat.

One tastes like almond and the other like vanilla

A rich stock or broth clarified to make it clear and transparent is called a consommé.

You can make it at home, or buy it as a liquid in the supermarket; there are excellent brands on sale which can be served alone, maybe with a fresh chopped herb on top, with other ingredients to make a more complex soup, or used to make sauces or enrich casseroles.

A charming Italian dish is attractive small to medium shapes of cooked pasta, not too many, served in a plain bowl, and topped with hot consommé. The pasta can be cooked ahead and refrigerated: the hot consommé heats it to serving temperature. Filled pasta such as ravioli can also be served this way, just a few shapes per bowl.

i guess you can , since i used it too !

Not in all recipes; for most baking recipes substituting plain flour for cornflour will not work, since cornflour has no gluten (which is what makes dough springy) and it requires far more hydration. Adding some cornflour to the flour in baking will result in lighter baked goods, but only until the total flour is 5% cornflour; after that the baked good gets progressively more dense and inedible. Cornflour is useful for thickening custards, which plain flour is not so good at. But you cannot bake normally with cornflour. Both cornflour and wheat flour have a similar calorie content, wheatflour is lower in the glycemic load (GL) index compared to cornflour, and whereas cornflour is considered "highly inflammitory" (i.e likely to cause a reaction), wheatflour is only considered "inflammitory."

Maple syrup is less concentrated than sap because it has more chemicals in it.

NO! Powdered milk is like the concentrate version of milk. You need to mix the powdered milk according to the directions on the box/can/etc and then use .25 cups of that. Or just use milk :)

Sure. You have to be a little sensible about it... salt isn't a particularly good substitute for sugar... but if the ingredients you're substituting are reasonably similar, it could work.

You can't really sub the two items. The texture would be way off.

If you really had to do it, melt the shortening and measure out 13 cups of liquid.

Evaporated milk means milk with some of the water removed by evaporation to concentrate and thicken it.

A chocolate-colored rock.

All sugars are derived from a reference sugar and all the D and L forms are referred to it.

In some cases you can.

There is no difference between plain flour and all-purpose flour. They are one and the same. All-purpose (plain) flour does not contain the salt and baking soda that self-rising flour has.

Let's think about this a bit. Imagine a large sugar granule: for ease of illustration, we'll think of, say, a cube that's 1 cm on a side. (Yes, I know this is unreasonably large, but the argument works on smaller pieces as well.) Think of how much surface area it has, which is just the sum of the areas of the six square sides. Now think of cutting that granule into 1/2-cm cubes, one cut in each dimension, so where you had one cube, you now have eight. Notice that the surface area of all the 'outside' faces of those 1/2-cm cubes add up to the same surface area of the original 1-cm cube. There are 3 'outside' faces per 1/2-cm cube, and the other three are 'inside,' i.e., before cutting, they were attached to each other, so there were no faces there. With this kind of argument, it's very easy to see that a teaspoon of smaller granules has much more surface area than a teaspoon of large granules. (There's another, usually less important, effect at work here too. Think of a teaspoon of dice—maybe you'll get one die in the spoon. Now think of a teaspoon of fine sand. The sand packs more efficiently, so you don't have as much air space, so small granules are denser than large ones—you can pack more weight (a physicist would say 'mass') into the same volume.) If you're comparing the individual granules, certainly a big one has more area than a small one, but now you're comparing, say, 1 tsp large granules with 1/8 tsp small granules (i.e., the same number of granules in each case, but the smaller ones are...well...smaller). Hope that helps.

Vanilla originally comes from the rainforests of South-east Mexico, Central America and the West Indies and the Nothern South of America. Now it's brought in culture at Malagaska, Reunion, Indonesia and Mexico. But is created by artificial pollination.
