Yes, olive oil is good for pan frying as it has a high smoke point and its natural antioxidants help to protect the oil from breaking down at high temperatures. It also imparts a delicious flavor to the food being cooked. However, it is important to use a high-quality, pure olive oil and not mix it with other oils as this can lower its smoke point and alter the flavor. Additionally, olive oil should not be reused beyond one or two times for health reasons.
Liver is often eaten with onions because onions complement the flavor of liver. The onions also help to cut the richness of the liver’s taste and texture, making it more palatable. Additionally, the vitamin C in onions can help the body absorb the iron found in liver.
Induction hot plates are better than traditional hot plates because they use electromagnetism to directly heat the cookware, rather than indirectly heating the cookware through the hot plate. Induction heating provides faster and more efficient heating, precise temperature control, and improved safety because the cooktop surface stays cool. Induction hot plates are also more environmentally friendly as they require less energy to operate.
The simplest type of dessert is often a fruit, such as an apple or banana, served alone or with a small amount of sweetener like honey or maple syrup. It requires little to no preparation and is a healthy option for those with dietary restrictions or looking for a lighter end to a meal.
To drink a Sazerac, first, an absinthe rinse is added to an old-fashioned glass and set aside. Then, in a separate glass, sugar, bitters, water, and ice are combined with a good quality rye whiskey and stirred until chilled. The absinthe is then discarded from the old-fashioned glass before straining the whiskey mixture into it. Finally, a lemon peel is twisted over the drink to release its essential oils before being discarded, and the Sazerac is ready to enjoy.
To remove burnt sugar from a stove top, first turn off the heat and let the area cool down. Then, use a scraper or spatula to gently remove as much of the burnt sugar as possible. Next, create a mixture of equal parts baking soda and water and apply it to the remaining burnt sugar. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using a scrub brush or sponge to gently scrub the area. Finally, wipe the stove top clean with a damp cloth or paper towel.
Yes, Baileys needs to be refrigerated after opening. Once the bottle is opened, oxygen gets into the bottle which can spoil the dairy cream in Baileys and cause it to spoil. Refrigeration helps to slow down the spoilage process, therefore prolonging its lifespan. It is recommended to consume Baileys within six months after opening and to store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of 0-25°C (32-77°F).
Double breaded means that a food item has been coated with breading (typically flour, breadcrumbs or cornmeal) twice, instead of just once. This results in a thicker, crispier coating and can provide a more satisfying texture and taste. Double breading is often used for fried foods, such as chicken tenders or onion rings.
When choosing a steak knife, consider factors like the blade material, serration style, handle material, and overall design. Blade material affects durability and sharpness, while serration style impacts ease of cutting and maintenance. Handle material can affect grip and comfort, and design should be based on personal preferences like size and weight. It is important to choose a knife that feels comfortable in your hand and works well for the purpose intended.
To freeze cooked dal, let it cool down and transfer it into an airtight container or a freezer-safe zip-lock bag. Label the container/bag with the type of dal, date of freezing, and portion size.

To defrost, you can leave it in the fridge overnight or defrost it in the microwave before reheating it on the stove or in the microwave.
