From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Cooking is the process of preparing food by applying heat. Cooks select and combine ingredients using a wide range of tools and methods. In the process, the flavor, texture, appearance, and chemical properties of the ingredients can change. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions. Cooks themselves also vary widely in skill and training. Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans, and some scientists believe the advent of cooking played an important role in human evolution. Most anthropologists believe that cooking fires first developed around 250,000 years ago. The development of agriculture, commerce and transportation between civilizations in different regions offered cooks many new ingredients. New inventions and technologies, such as pottery for holding and boiling water, expanded cooking techniques. Some modern cooks apply advanced scientific techniques to food preparation.

GNU Free Documentation License How much cooking oil is actually in a serving of fried food? Q. I am deep frying a serving of fries and chicken and wondered how much of the cooking oil is actually in the cooked food.

As Michele pointed out, jack-o-lantern pumpkins make poor pumpkin pies. Her instructions for cooking the pumpkin are good. Pie pumpkins are seldom seen at regular super markets. Farmers' markets, green grocers and fruit/veggie stands are your best bet for getting a pie pumpkin. If you cannot find one and do want to make-your-own pie filling, suitable substitutes are Butternut and Hubbard squashes, which are often available at supermarkets. Even Acorn and Delicato squash do fairly well. And all do better than jack-o-lantern pumpkins. Answered by wry humor - Sat Oct 6 05:00:04 2007 Can anyone help me with cooking brown rice?
Q. My boyfriend is always cooking our brown rice but it always comes out mushy. Any tips? I'm considering getting a rice cooker since my family always gets great results from it. The way he cooks it is stovetop with a sausepan for 45-50 minutes. He cooks white rice wonderfully but since we are changing to brown rice we are stumped. Thanks!
