Sweet Potatoes and Yams

There are 105-108 calories in one medium size baked sweet potato (4 oz or 113.4).

When a baked potato is cooked it should be crisp outside and soft inside. Not all methods of baking produce a crisp finish, and potatoes baked in their jackets aren't usually crisp because the skins don't crisp as effectively as the outside of peeled potatoes.

To check whether a potato is done inside you could insert a thin sharp object such as a fine skewer or narrow unserrated knife. Move the knife or skewer slightly inside the potato to test for give, that is, movement inside.

If the potato isn't cooked through there will be inner resistance rather than a soft texture.

Or you can simply cut the potato in half and check the centre. If it isn't done, you simply continue cooking the two halves; this will make no difference to the finished food unless you particularly need the potatoes to be cooked whole.

Steamed foods have the water boiling beneath the food and the steam rising all around and about the food. Any steamer is based on that type of cooking. Your beets must be washed, stems removed, peel the beets, and place them in the inner pan of the steamer. Always cover the pot when steaming your vegetables, and check the water level periodically to ensure you will not burn it up! Every steamer I have seen has the three (3) parts: the interior pan or pot that holds the vegetable being steamed, the exterior pan or pot that holds the boiling water and the interior pan of vegetables, and the lid of the pot. The vegetables must not be in the boiling water, but above it, with the steam encircling the vegetables. The vegetables should also be in a single layer so the steam is moving around each beet, steaming it evenly over, under, and around each one. A really full pot of beets will surely steam the beets done, but it will take much more time, and most cooks over-cook the vegetables while trying to get them done evenly. Your goal should be to cook the beets, but retain the firmness and flavor of the vegetable. I test for done using a fork, piercing the beet until I can tell how well done it is. I'll guess the cooking time, from the time the water is at a full, rolling boil, to the time you declare the vegetables done, to be about 15-30 minutes. Your amount of time will be determined by the beets (whether they are large or small, new spring crop or stored awhile, and how many you put in the pot to cook), the amount of water in the pot, and how well-done you want them to be. That is the basic information about steaming beets (and other vegetables). I hope this is what you were asking for!

Yes! It is possible to cook a sweet potato in the microwave. I have not conducted this experiment though i know that it is possible though the results may not be suitable for eating since if you take a sweet potato and plop it in the microwave whole, there is a large chance the outside wil get burnt and the inside cold or slightly warm.

you are welcome :)

Although its possible, its not advised since microwaves can destroy vitamins and minerals.

Depending on the size of the potatoe it would be 2 to 4 table spoons.

That depends of your costs of producing the sweet potatoes and how much you charge for them.

yes - very good for them - along with canned salt- free green beans and skinless chicken breast cooked with some water in a bowl in the microwave or oven. our dog is 19 years old on this university of Florida meal plan - morning & evening.

The majority of sources state that apple skins are very healthy and I have never peeled an apple before consuming it, however, I have often observed gorillas in the zoo and they always seem to peel aples before eating them and they discard the skin. This made me curios about it. Using their thumb nail they spin the apple and the peel is removed in seconds. Very effective. Then they discard the skin of the apple. Perhaps gorillas know something we have yet to learn.

An eggplant produces fruit. The seeds are inside, like a tomato.

Yes, sweet potato pie is a dessert pie. The pie filling is prepared in the same fashion as a pumpkin pie. The sweet potato is cooked, mashed and sweetened with sugar and brown sugar. Additional ingredients are also added, as in a traditional pie, such as eggs, vanilla and spices.

Yams are similar to sweet potatoes in texture and flavor, though they belong to different plant families. Both have a starchy, sweet taste, but yams are typically drier and starchier than sweet potatoes. While sweet potatoes are more commonly consumed in the United States, true yams are more prevalent in African and Caribbean cuisine.

Certain molds contain dangerous toxins that can cause serious health problems. The potatoes should not be eaten by humans or animals. See Sources and related links for additioanal information.

No, that is not correct. I have been a American all my life :) and speaking for the Seattle area we call a sweet potato a sweet potato. They are two different things and have many completely different nutritional values. Now, if you head to the south I think you will find a variety of different names for yams. Don't ask, they talk weird down there :)

It depends on the weight of each yam.... weigh them at the store before purchasing.
