Microwave ovens are safe to use for defrosting, reheating, and cooking food. However "cold spots" can occur in microwaved foods because of the irregular way the microwaves enter the oven and are absorbed by the food. This article provides information on how to cook food evenly and safely in microwave ovens.

In this thesis, we present BakeBot, a PR2 robot system that interprets natural language baking recipes into baking instructions which it follows to execute the recipe, from mise en place presentation of the ingredients through baking in a toaster oven. We developed parameterized motion primitives for baking. The motion primitives utilize the existing sensing and manipulation capabilities of the PR2 platform and also our new compliant control techniques to address environmental uncertainty. The system was first implemented as a static finite state machine, which was tested through 27 baking attempts, 16 of which successfully resulted in edible cookies. The system was then implemented as a dynamic state machine, in which the robot estimated the world state and planned sequences of motion primitives to follow the baking instructions inferred from the natural language recipe, which was tested thorough five baking attempts of two different recipes, all of which resulted in edible cookies.

Full textThis study aims to analyse solar cooking projects in Tanzania regarding their adoption and impact on development.
Biomass is a traditional source of energy in Tanzania which counts for 90 percent of the total energy use. The high use of biomass is claimed to have negative environmental, economic and health impacts. In this way, Solar Cooking seems to present an alternative solution since it does not require the use of firewood or charcoal, which prevents people from cutting trees, and particularly women from spending hours for fuelwood collection or even from spending money to buy it. In addition, Solar Cooking does not pollute the environment since it does not produce smoke. However, several studies showed that decades of efforts to implement and improve solar cookers for developing countries have not helped to achieve the breakthrough of this technology.
The specific objectives of this thesis are to find out which factors limit/enable the adoption of solar cookers, to investigate why people decide to use/ not this technology, and to find out in which way the use of Solar Cooking could be increased. In addition, the study investigates the ways in which Solar Cooking contributes to a development. The discussion of these objectives is based on the Capability Approach and the Innovation- Decision Model according to Rogers. The study focuses on three solar cooking projects in Tanzania.
I argue that Solar Cooking is adopted to a certain degree in Tanzania but that the wider success is influenced by different factors including economic affordability, technology, social/cultural values, sustainability, infrastructure, information and the area where the solar cooking projects takes place. In addition, the study shows that solar cooking leads to an improvement of women’s perception of their own health and a considerable time gain which is mainly used for income generating activities and domestic work.

Full textThe nutrient profile of meat and meat products make them a major protein and minerals source for non- vegetarian human beings. However, their high fat content and the saturated fatty acid profile associate them with increased risk of lifestyle diseases and occurrences of cancers. Researchers have focused on fat replacement and fatty acid profile modification without compromising the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of meat products. Leaner ingredients are expensive hence the use of low/non-calorie adding ingredients such as water, vegetable oils and oat bran. In this study, three pineapple dietary fibres (PDF), NSP 60, NSP 100 and NSP 200 with water binding capacities (WBC) of 1: 8; 1: 7.4; 1: 7.8 (g/g), respectively, were assessed for their WBC in species sausage at levels 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%. Water was added in accordance to the specific WBC capacity of the fibres, replacing pork back fat. The WBC of the fibre in the meat emulsion was assessed by extracting the loosely bound fluid by centrifugation. Fibres NSP 100 and NSP 200 proved to be of better water binding than NSP 60 which had the highest total expressible fluid (TEF) at all levels. Although differing significantly in WBC at all levels, all the fibres excellently bound water at 1% level. The three PDF (at 1% level) were then assessed with regard to chemical, physical, and textural attributes in species sausage. Proximate analysis showed that the control sausages (no fibre), differed significantly from the sausages containing PDF. Emulsion stability analysis was based on TEF, cooking loss and purge. Sausages containing NSP 200 PDF did not significantly differ to the control in terms of TEF and cooking loss. Sausages containing NSP 100 had the lowest cooking loss although not significantly different to the control and NSP 200 containing sausages. NSP 60 PDF performed significantly poorly in terms of TEF and cooking loss. The control had a significantly lower purge comparing to sausages containing which were not different. The pH value of the control was significantly higher than the samples containing fibres which also differed from each other. Inclusion of fibre in the species resulted in a significant increase in lightness, hue and chroma as compared to the control. Textural parameters for the control were significantly higher than the fibre containing sausages, except for cohesiveness which was similar for all sausages. This study concluded that NSP 100 could be the most suitable for use in species sausage, followed by the NSP 200 and lastly the NSP 60. Addition of PDF, in combination with water to a species sausage can be a viable way of cutting costs since the formulation cost of all the fibre containing sausages was lower in comparison to the control. Fibre and water addition can be a positive means of reducing the lipid fraction in sausages and other meat products, increasing the dietary fibre component and hence improving the health status of meat product consumers.

Full textThe genesis and motivation of this project, based on the events and catering binomial, are related to my 15-year experience in hotels and restaurants, and a Masters degree in Tourism - strategic management of events, i.e., including catering events. This project is also based on the National Strategic Plan for Tourism (PENT), which considers food and wine as one of the ten strategic tourist products for Portuguese tourism. This work is aimed at studying the theme of events and catering, by combining a unique catering service with dynamic event programs. The geographic location chosen for this project is the region of Leiria. The project is supported by a theoretical framework (events and catering), including major concepts and principles to create and develop this business. Thereafter a market analysis was developed, which included a market study to determine the demand’s profile and potential, considering the product characteristics offered by this project. Based on the theoretical framework together with the market analysis, a Human Resources management plan was also developed as well as a marketing plan and a financial plan. The last one was developed with the purpose of determining the feasibility of the project in the economic-financial field. Globally and taking into account the developed plans and the analyses made, this project presents a positive performance referring to the economic-financial dimension.

There are many rural area in the world where cooking fuel is very scarce. One solution to this problem is to use solar energy to cook food. However most people around the world like to cook large meals at night, when the sun is not shining. The objective of this thesis was to design and build a thermal battery that could store thermal energy from the sun during the day and retain that heat until it was needed for cooking. The final battery design was a large block of concrete with a system of copper fins running though it. Three main tests were conducted. The first two utilized an array of infra red light bulbs to heat up the array, and did store enough energy to cook with. However in the third test the battery was heated using a hot plate, and after the storage period still retained enough heat to boil 20 cups of water. This is enough usable cooking energy to feed most families.

Fong, Yvonne. "Impact of television cooking shows on food preferences." Thesis, California State University, Long Beach, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1603964.
Full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of two television cooking shows (healthy and unhealthy) among students at California State University, Long Beach. Specifically, the study evaluated the effects cooking shows have on food preferences for side dish, entrée and dessert options before and after viewing each show and by type of show viewed.
Participants were selected from students at California State University, Long Beach through convenience sampling. Willing participants completed two online surveys, each containing a different television cooking show episode along with an array of food images to select from. The cooking show episodes and the food images used in the survey were categorized as healthy or less healthy based on the nutrient profiling system, Model WXYfm.
Fifty-nine and 56 survey responses were included in the final analysis of the healthy and unhealthy cooking show, respectively. Food preferences were determined through the selection of food images in the surveys and analyzed using Chi-square tests. The results of this study show that television cooking shows promoting healthy and unhealthy foods have the potential to impact food preferences, particularly due to food exposure. Significant differences were found for five out of the nine hypotheses.

Tripods constituted a specific group of pottery within the Bronze Age Aegean tradition. The shape was typically associated with ritual and cooking activities. This study presents an examination of Minoan tripod cooking pots from Crete. By tracing the morphological changes that occur from one period to the next, this research seeks to discuss the relationship between the form and function of these vessels. It is hoped that the following analysis may also shed light on the origin and practicality of tripod cooking pots.

There have been major shifts in the dietary patterns of people in the United States in the last four decades. People eat fast food more frequently, eating more convenience food products, and highly processed food. On the other hand, the practice of cooking from raw ingredients or cooking from scratch has been declining. The lack of cooking skills is one of the barriers of cooking from raw ingredients. Cooking skills are one of the important determinants of food choice. People who have higher cooking skills tend to choose healthier food options. There are many programs that aim to increase cooking skills and nutrition knowledge. One of them is done by EFNEP. Over the years, EFNEP has been helping the low socioeconomic population to reach nutritional well-being. Evaluation is an important component of EFNEP. There are evaluation tools in EFNEP including behavioral checklist and dietary recall that are administered pre and post program. However, these tools do not specifically measure participants’ cooking skills. A proposed short self-reported questionnaire is designed to measure cooking skills of EFNEP participants in Kansas. The questionnaire comprises of seven questions and has been tested to a representative group.
