Re-heating rare roast beef
Key question: is it sliced? Or in larger pieces? The problem is that protein starts to denature over 140F, so prolonged exposure to temps over that will cook it further. Before trying to warm it, I would bring it up near room...

best hot chocolate??
I have to second the nomination of Soma chocolate. I was in the District over the weekend and quite cold from all the stomping about and the dodging of the snow plows. Me and the Girl sought out refuge in the Denaturing building...

Fiddleheads: dangers? and preparation?

Where is the Greatest Shanghai Restaurant in New York?
't know how they could denature all the red pepper like that, but there it was... Everything else looked incredible though so we’ll have to be back. What really shocked me was how many others there appeared to be in...

Ceviche- same risks as sushi?
YES, same risks. Bummer. Although the acid denatures the proteins, so that the flesh looks cooked, it kills neither bacteria nor parasites. Remember a few years ago there was a huge outbreak of dysentery (I think it was)in Peru

Pressure vs. Slow cooking
I’ve only used a PC for making beans and the like — I’ve always though, espeially, when making stews that use tough, cheap cuts of meat that one of the reasons you cook it so long is to denature the collagen...

Looking for obscure product in RDU area

The Great Toronto Hot Dog Taste-Off
I’d throw a few of my 2008 Nathan’s and HN dogs (from Buffalo) into the mix. They are both sufficiently denatured that I’d be curious how they would rank. In previous tastings, a few people would always dislike...

Why does my ice cream have a grainy texture?
but to the capping-casein on the casein micelles, which remain separate; so denatured lactoglobulin doesn’t coagulate. When denatured in acid conditions with relatively little casein around, as in cheese whey, lactoglobulin...

Confused at Rivera: brief review
and lots of little chunks of jicama. In my mind, seviche is a dish made by denaturing the fish in lime, which pickles or cooks the fish and gives it an amazing flavor and texture. This tuna was raw. Served atop a beautiful citrus...
