Software engineer by trade but I came to Seasoned Advice independently of Stack Overflow.
I'm interested in bread, sous-vide, food preservation, dairy, and trying new food.

Getting the bowl out of the mold You might try breads first. In my experience they have more crust and more structure overall so they are easier to get out of containers in one piece. |

Nutrient loss when baking in roasting pan "wet roasting" isn't roasting- it's braising. And in a braise- often the cooking liquid is also consumed. |

How to make a proper scone? @sarge_smith I did some research. It turns out that that second definition of scone is regional to just a couple states in the Rockies- according to Wikipedia. I think an informal survey of coworkers is in order. |

How to make a proper scone? SW American or English scones? The former is fried bread dough, the latter a sweet shortbread (biscuit in the US). I assume that you are referring to the English version 1- because it is harder to make correctly and 2- because you said "proper". |

Making yogurt without heating milk? I have to admit that this starts to get to the limit of my understanding but Harold McGee has the following to say: "(heating the milk) improve the consistency of the yogurt by denaturing the whey protein lactoglobulin, whose otherwise unreactive molecules then participate by clustering on the surfaces of the casein particles." On Food and Cooking pp 48. Actually I'm going to put the full quote in this answer. |

What is the name of the sauce which is made of Yoghurt and fresh Cucumbers? Yogurt and cucumber is a common pairing and eaten across the middle east, eastern Europe, and southern asia (at least the parts where yogurt is common). The Greeks derived their Tzatziki sauce from the Turkish Cacık. The ones I have seen vary a bit in the spices and ratios. The question is certainly about this particular Indian variant and not yogurt-cucumber sauces in general. |

Are calcium and magnesium lost by soaking beans? This answers quick soak vs long soak. The question seems to be salted vs unsalted. I suspect that one will be harder to find a definitive answer to. |

Difference between freezer bag and storage bag -1 for two reasons: 1- That tiny difference in plastic width won't significantly slow freezing. 2- Slow freezing increases crystal size. You want food to freeze as fast as possible. |

Is it possible to do sous vide cooking in a crock pot? My crock pot sous vide setup with a homemade controller is only adequate. I get reasonable temp accuracy only if the pot is under filled enough to allow convection. I am in the process of replacing the crock pot with a large tub and a water heater. |

Do vegetables ripen like fruit? Okra is a fruit. I didn't think that one through enough. Rather than explaining the special case, I just removed it. |
