Yes, you can use canola oil instead of vegetable oil for brownies.

However, the texture and taste of the brownies may be slightly different due to the different composition of the oils, but the difference will be subtle.

This can be achieved by cooking the rack of lamb for 15-20 minutes per pound in a preheated oven at 375°F. However, it is always recommended to use a meat thermometer to get the right temperature and avoid overcooking. Let the rack of lamb rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Your egg casserole may be rubbery if it is overcooked or cooked at too high of a temperature. The proteins in the eggs coagulate and become tough and rubbery when overcooked. To avoid a rubbery texture, try cooking the casserole at a lower temperature and keeping an eye on it to prevent overcooking. You may also want to consider using a higher ratio of dairy or other wet ingredients to the eggs to make them more tender.

To cook juicy burgers, start by selecting ground beef with a higher amount of fat (at least 20%). Don’t overwork the meat and form patties gently, slightly larger than the bun so they don’t shrink too much during cooking. Heat up a skillet or grill to medium-high heat before cooking, and don’t flatten the burgers with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, and then flip and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they cook to at least 160°F. Let the burgers rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.

If you put too much milk in a quiche, the filling can become too liquid and may not set properly or thoroughly cook.

Cornmeal can be used to make grits, but the texture and taste may differ depending on the type of cornmeal used. Coarser cornmeal will result in a more traditional, grainy texture similar to stone-ground grits, while finer cornmeal may create a smoother, creamier texture resembling instant grits. However, actual grits are made from hominy, which is corn treated with an alkali to remove the hull and germ, resulting in a distinctive flavor and texture.
