Yes, you can cook a steak on a frying pan by searing it on high heat until it reaches the desired level of doneness. It is important to use a good quality pan, such as a cast iron skillet, and to properly season the steak before cooking. Resting the steak for a few minutes after cooking will also help to retain its juices and tenderness.
The recommended temperature to add fragrance to paraffin wax is between 160°F and 180°F (71°C and 82°C). It is important to add the fragrance oil at this temperature range as it allows for the fragrance to properly bind with the wax and distribute evenly throughout the candles. Adding fragrance oil at a higher temperature can result in the fragrance burning off, while adding at a lower temperature may cause the fragrance to separate from the wax.
Pressure cooking frozen chicken breasts typically takes about 12-15 minutes depending on their thickness. It is important to ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F before consuming.
It is recommended to thaw rhubarb before making pie as frozen rhubarb releases more liquid when baked than fresh rhubarb, which could result in a runny filling. Thawing also helps ensure that the rhubarb cooks evenly and the pie crust is fully cooked. Allow the rhubarb to thaw in a strainer over a bowl to catch the excess liquid, and use the drained rhubarb in your pie recipe.

However, some recipes may call for covering the meat during the cooking process to help keep it moist. It ultimately depends on personal preference and the specific recipe being followed.
No, you cannot make yogurt at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The ideal temperature range for making yogurt is between 105 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit, and any temperature above or below this range may not allow the yogurt culture to grow and thrive properly. Therefore, a temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit is too high and may not yield desired results.
A wine pitcher is called a “carafe.” It is a glass or ceramic vessel that is used for serving wine, water, or other beverages.

To use a Wusthof universal knife sharpener, hold the sharpener steady on a flat surface. Then, holding the knife with its blade at a 20-degree angle to the sharpener, draw the blade through the coarse side of the sharpener from heel to tip three to four times. Repeat the process on the fine side of the sharpener. Ensure that the blade stays perpendicular to the sharpener. Wipe the blade with a clean rag to remove any metal flakes.
