I've recently completed my MSc Computer Science from a UK institution, and have moved back to the US to begin work. I write in my spare time, enjoy cooking, and apparently am addicted to signing up for SE sites :).

What difference would using Rock Sugar make in tea? Aha! That's probably where it came from. Teavana is known for bastardizing tea traditions for Americans |

Mushroom replacement in Beef Wellington Ooh, chestnuts might work! The recipe I linked sends the mushrooms through a food processor anyway. |

How do I separate egg white? @msh210 Note that you do NOT crack the egg by squeezing it so hard the shell shatters. This will result in bits of shell EVERYWHERE. |

Understanding the steps to prepare sushi rice @Julio So the question you're having isn't "How do I make sushi rice" but "Why is low heat necessary to keep something at a simmer and how can I accomplish this on a glass-ceramic cooktop"? Usually recipes have you put the heat to low to prevent the simmer from becoming a boil. |

Ceramic vs Stainless Steel in coffee mugs My old ceramic one was double-walled. Does this mean if I could find that type of mug again it'd be the same as the stainless steel one? |

Ceramic vs Stainless Steel in coffee mugs I didn't think you usually drank an entire mug of espresso. Generic brewed is more like 200mg in a 240ml mug according to mayoclinic.com/health/caffeine/AN01211 and many of the teas I drink boast having "as much caffeine as coffee" (teavana.com/the-teas/mate-teas). Anyway this is all entirely off topic, but thanks for explaining what you meant |

Ceramic vs Stainless Steel in coffee mugs Ah, I can't drink coffee at all so I don't know much about it. |

Ceramic vs Stainless Steel in coffee mugs Is there a significant difference between metal and ceramic though? And how do you figure it's easier to fill a mug with tea than coffee? |

Why are my dumplings made of evil? There might have been unrinsed soup -- I did mix the cornstarch, broth, and milk in the bowl, then rinsed it, then made the dumplings in it. |

Is “until juices run clear” a valid test for poultry doneness? Why or why not? This was already stated in the accepted answer. |

Stove top Sushi rice - Which method? "glutinous, short-grained" is not to be confused with the rice used to make Mochi (もち米 or "Mochigome"), which is called "glutinous" rice in English and has extremely short grains. I have occasionally seen Japonica labelled "medium grain". The important point is to ensure it says, somewhere on the package, "Japonica", "Japanese", or "Sushi". |

Why does my kamado ceramic grill fall out of it's stand when I open it? Oh good, that was going to be my next guess: "floor model" and "pre-assembled" often equate to "damaged" |

How does the power setting on a microwave work? @erichui Now I'm curious: What happens if you put it on 50% power for 10 seconds? |

Why does my kamado ceramic grill fall out of it's stand when I open it? Are the nests one size fits all? The image posted seems to have differently-sized nests for differently-sized kettles. You said you bought a large and the one they gave you had a medium on it. Could there be a size mismatch? |
