comment How long do you cook the vegetables in a pasta salad recipe?
I agree with Kate. If you're going to do anything with them, just steam the hard veggies (broccoli, carrots, etc) very very briefly. Soggy veggy pasta salad doesn't sound very appetizing.

comment looking for edible paper
Vietnamese egg rolls (Chả giò) are traditionally made with rice paper. You might also try filo dough, if you're not wholly into the paper thing. It's not paper, but it's paper-like.

comment Is honey considered vegan?
+1: If you take anything (other than excrement...Probably) from anything that has eyes or a face, it's not vegan.

comment Does the drying out of vegetables affect the taste after cooking?
@anisha: Yea, when they turn brown? If you were cutting up potatoes, I'd definitely tell you to put 'em in water. Avocado, I'd just tell you not to cut up (lemon juice works, but it changes the taste, obviously). Onions and peppers would be fine.

comment Is it safe to cook a steak that was left out (raw) for 7 hours?
@aaronut: For me, if I was slow cooking it, I'd sear it to start anyway. Typical procedure for a pot roast-type thing. Maybe I'd also start the pot liquid at a higher temp as well, if I was worried. Still, 90C is an unreasonable temp for a round steak. Might as well toss it at that point, because you sure wouldn't want to eat it.

@aaronut: Slow cooking usually guarantees longer time at higher temperature than most other types of cooking. Admittedly, there is that warm-up period.

comment What to look for in a mandoline?
@c4h5as: Ha! My answer was going to be "Your thumb." I took a huge chunk out of mine the first time I used one. Buy some kevlar gardening gloves, and never worry about hacking off fingers again. That annoying plastic hockey puck is worthless.
