How to Blow Up TNT in Minecraft
|
1. Making TNT
1-1. Find 5 pieces of gunpowder.
You'll need 5 pieces of gunpowder in order to craft a piece of TNT. Gunpowder cannot be crafted, and must be found by defeating certain enemies that have a chance of dropping some, or looking in certain chests that have a chance of holding some:
Defeating creepers (before exploding): 66% (1-2 gunpowder)
Defeating ghasts: 66% (1-2 gunpowder)
Defeating witches: 16% (1-6 gunpowder)
Opening desert temple chest: 59% (1-8 gunpowder)
Opening dungeon chests: 58% (1-8 gunpowder)
1-2. Get 4 sand blocks.
You can use regular sand or red sand. Both work the same and can be mixed during the creation of TNT. You can find sand most commonly in the following biomes and areas:
Beaches
Deserts
Riverbanks
Mesa (red sand)
1-3. Open your crafting window.
Use your crafting table to open the crafting grid.
1-4. Place the gunpowder in an "X" pattern.
Place one gunpowder in each corner of the grid, then place the last piece in the center.
1-5. Fill the remaining spaces with sand (or red sand, or a combination of the two.
) Place sand blocks in the four open spaces left in the grid. This will create TNT.
1-6. Add the TNT to your inventory.
Drag the TNT from the result grid and add it to your inventory. You can now place it in your world to be blown up.
2. Detonating with Fire
2-1. Use flint and steel to light a TNT block.
This is the simplest way to detonate TNT. See Make Flint and Steel in Minecraft for instructions on crafting it. Walk up to the TNT with flint and steel equipped to light it. The TNT block will begin flashing when lit.
Make sure to back up to a safe distance before it explodes (4 seconds after being lit).
TNT has an explosive radius of about 7 blocks.
2-2. Use a flaming arrow to light the TNT.
If you want to be a little safer when setting off your TNT, you can use a flaming arrow to light it.
You can enchant your bow with flame to make them shoot flaming arrows by using an enchanting table. See Make an Enchantment Table in Minecraft for instructions on creating an enchantment table and using lapis lazuli to enchant items.
You can also light an arrow by shooting it through fire or lava. So you can build a fire in front of your TNT block and shoot an arrow through it to light the arrow and detonate the TNT.
2-3. Use a fire charge to light the TNT.
You can create a fire charge by placing a charcoal in the center of the grid, a blaze powder to the left of it, and a gunpowder below it. Fire charges are not as efficient as flint and steel, as you lose the charge that you throw.
Throwing a fire charge at the TNT will light it. You can throw the fire charge by selecting it in your inventory and then using the item.
Putting a fire charge in a dispenser will cause it to shoot out as a fireball when triggered. This is not as useful for TNT since the fireball shoots at a random angle.
2-4. Detonate TNT using another TNT explosion.
TNT caught in the explosion radius of another TNT will light and explode. Unlike TNT you light, which always explodes after 4 seconds, TNT hit by an explosion will detonate after 0.5-1.5 seconds.
Since the explosion does not produce an exact radius, make sure your TNT is well within the explosion, no more than 3 or four blocks from the original TNT.
2-5. Pour lava or set a fire near the TNT.
If lava flows in near the TNT, it will be set off as soon as it catches fire. This can happen even if the lava is not directly touching the TNT. The same principle applies if the area around the TNT is on fire.
3. Detonating Using a Redstone Circuit
3-1. Gather redstone dust.
Redstone dust is used to create the redstone circuit and transmit power. For a basic circuit, you can have a trail of up to 15 blocks of redstone dust. Longer trails require redstone repeaters.
Redstone ore can only be found on layers 0-15, with the most abundant amount found between layers 4-13. You'll need to mine down to the bedrock layer and then begin your hunt for a redstone vein. You need an iron or diamond pickaxe to mine redstone ore.
One block of redstone ore can be crafted into 9 piles of redstone dust. You usually get 4-5 redstone dust per redstone ore you mine.
You can find redstone dust in dungeon chests and stronghold chests. Witches may drop redstone dust when defeated. Jungle temples spawn 15 redstone dust for the trap. They also spawn a few more for the secret chamber.
3-2. Make a switch mechanism.
There are several different mechanisms you can use to trigger your redstone circuit:
Button - This item is placed on the side of a full block, and provides redstone power when pushed. You can make a stone button by placing a single stone block in the center of the crafting grid. You can make a wood button by placing any wood planks in the center grid.
Lever - A lever is placed on any solid surface, and can toggle redstone power on and off. You can make a lever by placing a stick in the center of the crafting grid and a cobblestone block underneath it.
Pressure plate - This is a button that is pressed automatically when you stand on it. The major difference with a pressure plate versus the other two is that monsters can activate the pressure plate, making it perfect for traps. You can make a pressure plate by putting a stone or wood block in the center of the grid and an identical block to the left.
3-3. Create a basic circuit.
Now that you have your redstone powder and a switch mechanism, you can create your basic circuit:
Place your switch mechanism somewhere that you can use it. This will be your blasting remote, so make sure you can see the explosion.
Place redstone powder in a trail towards where you want to put the TNT. The first piece should be adjacent to your switch mechanism. You can place redstone powder by looking at a block and right-clicking while it's equipped. Redstone ore can connect one level up or down, and the total length must be 15 blocks or less.
3-4. Place your TNT at the end of the redstone trail.
This is where the circuit terminates, and will activate the TNT block. Make sure the TNT box is on the same level as the end of the trail, and is directly adjacent to the final redstone powder block.
3-5. Activate your circuit.
Now that the TNT has been placed, you can activate your circuit by using the mechanism. Once you trigger the redstone circuit, the TNT will immediately be set to explode. after 4 seconds, the TNT will detonate.
3-6. Try a more complex circuit.
By using redstone torches, you can create advanced logic gates that can remotely detonate lots of TNT at different intervals. See Make a Redstone Lamp in Minecraft for instructions on making and using redstone lamps, which are an integral part of larger redstone circuits.
If you are new to the game, you can try it before buying it.
Use the Minecraft free trials available for PC and Xbox users.
Or use the demo version of Minecraft.
Tips
TNT is great for clearing out large chunks of land when digging a mine, but be aware that there's a good chance you'll destroy the majority of materials you would have gotten if you had used a pickaxe instead. You'll want to avoid using TNT near rich veins of valuable ore.
Protecting yourself from a TNT explosion: If you (or a mob) are sitting in a minecart, you will have minimal damage from a TNT explosion. This can allow you to launch an explosion from considerable distance.
If you want to strip mine the fastest way is to light a bunch of TNT stacks on a mountain and it will blow through showing you the contents. This is especially fun with ravines.
Warnings
Too much TNT will lag your game, so be careful. The larger the explosion, the more CPU power required, and can result in singleplayer stuttering or lots of lag in multiplayer.
It's best to stay away from TNT when it's lit. Otherwise, you may blow up.
Once TNT is primed, it cannot be unprimed and will explode.

How to Blow Up a Balloon
|
1. Blowing Up a Balloon by Mouth
1-1. Loosen the balloon by stretching it in all directions.
If you stretch out the rubbery latex of the balloon with your hands first, it becomes much easier to blow it up by mouth afterwards. Stretching the balloon will loosen the latex, making the inflation process less resistant.
Stretch the balloon in all directions, being careful not to tear the latex. Just make sure not to stretch the balloon too much, or you risk it popping when you inflate it. A few stretches here and there will get the job done.
1-2. Pinch the neck of the balloon with your index finger and thumb.
This will keep the balloon in position when inflating. Grasp the end of the balloon about a quarter of an inch (1 cm) below the lip of the opening. Your index finger should be on top and your thumb on bottom.
If you are blowing a foil balloon, get a straw and stick it into the opening. Then you will gently blow air through the straw.
1-3. Take a deep breath and “kiss” the balloon.
Use your lips to form a seal around the opening neck section of the balloon. Your lips should be just beyond the lip of the balloon opening, and pressed against your thumb and forefinger.
1-4. Blow air from your lungs into the balloon.
This is the same action used when puffing your cheeks with air, but the air should pass into the balloon and your cheeks should be relaxed.
Try to keep your lips puckered and tight as you blow into the balloon. Your cheeks will fill with some air, but they shouldn't be getting really big — the balloon should!
Think of how a trumpeter blows into his or her horn: Maintain good embouchure, or facial muscle tension, especially if your lungs are weak or you're having trouble getting the balloon to fill with air.
Keep a tight seal between the lip of the balloon and your lips to maintain pressure.
1-5. Work to overcome the initial resistance.
For reasons that are up to greater scientific debate than you might think, the first blow into a balloon is always the hardest. But it will gradually expand after the initial resistance. This takes some getting used to, so keep blowing until the balloon inflates, then use that experience to guide you for the next balloon.
If you're still having trouble blowing up the balloon after the first attempt, try tugging on the spout of the balloon gently as you blow into it for the second time.
If you are struggling, stretch the neck of the balloon, then seal the neck of the balloon with your thumb and index finger when breathing.
1-6. Pinch the balloon shut if you must take a break.
If you need a breather in between blows, seal the balloon with your thumb and index finger. Then release your grip after you place the balloon back into your mouth.
1-7. Stop before the balloon risks popping.
When you feel the balloon is resisting further expansion, the inflation process is complete. If the neck of the balloon inflates to a significant size, this means that you have overinflated the balloon, and you'll need to let a little air out until the neck is flat again.
1-8. Tie it off
When the balloon begins to strongly resist further expansion, it is time to tie the balloon. You've officially inflated your balloon. Now you can start inflating the next one — or 99!
Pinch the balloon at the base of its neck between your index and middle fingers.
Stretch the neck and wrap it around that index finger and your thumb.
Feed the mouth of the balloon through the loop you’ve just created, and pull the knot tight as you pull your fingers free.
2. Blowing Up a Balloon With a Manual Pump
2-1. Attach the opening of the balloon to the nozzle of the pump.
The nozzle should be ribbed to allow for a tight hold on the opening of the balloon.
2-2. Start pumping.
For a hand pump, pull out the hand lever and then press it back in. For a foot pump, step on the pedal and release it. There’s no need to stretch out the balloon latex first.
2-3. Tie the balloon when it’s filled.
Once again, use wikiHow’s handy guide!
3. Using a Helium Tank
3-1. Screw the inflator onto the helium tank.
The inflator is a metal tube that is threaded at one end and has a nozzle on the other end. Screw it securely onto the threaded opening at the top of the tank.
3-2. Press the correct adaptor onto the end of the inflator.
Most inflators come with two attached, plastic, cone-shaped adaptors. The smaller one is for foil balloons; the larger, for latex balloons. Securely press the adaptor that suits your needs onto the inflator.
3-3. Open the valve.
Turn the handle on top of the helium tank counterclockwise in order to open the valve and release helium into the inflator. You’ll hear a brief “pffft” sound as the valve opens, but an ongoing hissing sound indicates a leak. Close the valve and contact the tank provider.
3-4. Feed the balloon onto the adaptor.
Slide the mouth of your chosen balloon far enough over the adaptor to create a basic seal. Wrap your thumb and forefinger around the mouth of the balloon to strengthen the seal.
3-5. Press down on the adaptor.
Use the hand holding the balloon mouth to lightly push the adaptor downward. This will open the tip of the inflator and send a rush of helium into the balloon. Stop pressing down when the balloon is adequately filled.
Be prepared, because a full helium tank can fill a balloon very quickly. Don’t be surprised if you pop a few while you’re getting the hang of it!
3-6. Tie the balloon
With a latex balloon, you’ll do the same maneuver as always: make the loop around your two fingers, then feed the balloon mouth through to tie it off. Most foil balloons, however, are self-sealing, so all you’ll need to do is press the mouth flat to prevent leakage.
3-7. Shut off the helium.
When you’re done filling balloons, use the following process to safely prepare the helium tank for return:
Turn off the valve on top of the tank (by turning clockwise).
Push down on the adaptor to release any helium left in the inflator.
Pop off the adaptor and unscrew the inflator.
4. Creating a Science Experiment
4-1. Add two tablespoons of baking soda to a deflated latex balloon.
Insert the small end of a funnel into the mouth of the balloon to make this process much easier. Two tablespoons equals roughly 30 grams (1 oz).
4-2. Pour four ounces of vinegar into a small soda bottle.
Use a clean, dry, empty bottle. Once again, a funnel will make this easier (but rinse away any baking soda residue first). Four ounces equals roughly 120 milliliters (4 fl oz).
4-3. Place the balloon’s mouth over the bottle top.
Stretch the mouth of the balloon over the bottle opening to create a good seal. Leave the rest of the balloon dangling to the side so that no baking soda falls into the bottle (yet).
4-4. Let the baking soda fall into the bottle.
Lift the limp balloon over the top of the bottle and pull upward slightly, so that the baking soda can fall straight down into the bottle. Make sure not to pull the mouth of the balloon off of the bottle.
4-5. Observe the chemical reaction.
You can inflate a balloon with baking soda and vinegar because of the expanding carbon dioxide created by the chemical reaction between the two main ingredients. Kids in particular will enjoy watching the balloon inflate right before their eyes!
Tips
Very large or small balloons may offer significant resistance to initial expansion and take two breaths to get through the first stage. Long, skinny balloons used to make shapes are particularly hard to blow up.
Sometimes gently biting the lip of the balloon as you blow can help hold it in place.
Consider investing in a cheap pump if you will routinely blow up many balloons. It's worth the investment. Keep it where it's easy to find again.
Warnings
People may experience a feeling of dizziness when blowing up many balloons. If you feel light-headed, take some time out to sit down and catch your breath.
Be aware that some people simply cannot blow up balloons due to the exertion required. If that's your case, don't sweat it. Find a pump to do the job or ask someone with bigger lung capacity and more sticking power. Not everyone is cut out to inflate balloons.
Do not over-inflate the balloon. Kaboom! You'll learn soon enough when a balloon has been blown up too far.
Do not blow too hard (an obvious sign would be "chipmunk cheeks"), as this can build up pressure in the sinuses.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Blowing Up a Balloon by Mouth\\n1-1. Loosen the balloon by stretching it in all directions.\\nIf you stretch out the rubbery latex of the balloon with your hands first, it becomes much easier to blow it up by mouth afterwards. Stretching the balloon will loosen the latex, making the inflation process less resistant.\\nStretch the balloon in all directions, being careful not to tear the latex. Just make sure not to stretch the balloon too much, or you risk it popping when you inflate it. A few stretches here and there will get the job done.\\n1-2. Pinch the neck of the balloon with your index finger and thumb.\\nThis will keep the balloon in position when inflating. Grasp the end of the balloon about a quarter of an inch (1 cm) below the lip of the opening. Your index finger should be on top and your thumb on bottom.\\nIf you are blowing a foil balloon, get a straw and stick it into the opening. Then you will gently blow air through the straw.\\n1-3. Take a deep breath and “kiss” the balloon.\\nUse your lips to form a seal around the opening neck section of the balloon. Your lips should be just beyond the lip of the balloon opening, and pressed against your thumb and forefinger.\\n1-4. Blow air from your lungs into the balloon.\\nThis is the same action used when puffing your cheeks with air, but the air should pass into the balloon and your cheeks should be relaxed.\\nTry to keep your lips puckered and tight as you blow into the balloon. Your cheeks will fill with some air, but they shouldn't be getting really big — the balloon should!\\nThink of how a trumpeter blows into his or her horn: Maintain good embouchure, or facial muscle tension, especially if your lungs are weak or you're having trouble getting the balloon to fill with air.\\nKeep a tight seal between the lip of the balloon and your lips to maintain pressure.\\n1-5. Work to overcome the initial resistance.\\nFor reasons that are up to greater scientific debate than you might think, the first blow into a balloon is always the hardest. But it will gradually expand after the initial resistance. This takes some getting used to, so keep blowing until the balloon inflates, then use that experience to guide you for the next balloon.\\nIf you're still having trouble blowing up the balloon after the first attempt, try tugging on the spout of the balloon gently as you blow into it for the second time.\\nIf you are struggling, stretch the neck of the balloon, then seal the neck of the balloon with your thumb and index finger when breathing.\\n1-6. Pinch the balloon shut if you must take a break.\\nIf you need a breather in between blows, seal the balloon with your thumb and index finger. Then release your grip after you place the balloon back into your mouth.\\n1-7. Stop before the balloon risks popping.\\nWhen you feel the balloon is resisting further expansion, the inflation process is complete. If the neck of the balloon inflates to a significant size, this means that you have overinflated the balloon, and you'll need to let a little air out until the neck is flat again.\\n1-8. Tie it off\\nWhen the balloon begins to strongly resist further expansion, it is time to tie the balloon. You've officially inflated your balloon. Now you can start inflating the next one — or 99!\\nPinch the balloon at the base of its neck between your index and middle fingers.\\nStretch the neck and wrap it around that index finger and your thumb.\\nFeed the mouth of the balloon through the loop you’ve just created, and pull the knot tight as you pull your fingers free.\\n2. Blowing Up a Balloon With a Manual Pump\\n2-1. Attach the opening of the balloon to the nozzle of the pump.\\nThe nozzle should be ribbed to allow for a tight hold on the opening of the balloon.\\n2-2. Start pumping.\\nFor a hand pump, pull out the hand lever and then press it back in. For a foot pump, step on the pedal and release it. There’s no need to stretch out the balloon latex first.\\n2-3. Tie the balloon when it’s filled.\\nOnce again, use wikiHow’s handy guide!\\n3. Using a Helium Tank\\n3-1. Screw the inflator onto the helium tank.\\nThe inflator is a metal tube that is threaded at one end and has a nozzle on the other end. Screw it securely onto the threaded opening at the top of the tank.\\n3-2. Press the correct adaptor onto the end of the inflator.\\nMost inflators come with two attached, plastic, cone-shaped adaptors. The smaller one is for foil balloons; the larger, for latex balloons. Securely press the adaptor that suits your needs onto the inflator.\\n3-3. Open the valve.\\nTurn the handle on top of the helium tank counterclockwise in order to open the valve and release helium into the inflator. You’ll hear a brief “pffft” sound as the valve opens, but an ongoing hissing sound indicates a leak. Close the valve and contact the tank provider.\\n3-4. Feed the balloon onto the adaptor.\\nSlide the mouth of your chosen balloon far enough over the adaptor to create a basic seal. Wrap your thumb and forefinger around the mouth of the balloon to strengthen the seal.\\n3-5. Press down on the adaptor.\\nUse the hand holding the balloon mouth to lightly push the adaptor downward. This will open the tip of the inflator and send a rush of helium into the balloon. Stop pressing down when the balloon is adequately filled.\\nBe prepared, because a full helium tank can fill a balloon very quickly. Don’t be surprised if you pop a few while you’re getting the hang of it!\\n3-6. Tie the balloon\\nWith a latex balloon, you’ll do the same maneuver as always: make the loop around your two fingers, then feed the balloon mouth through to tie it off. Most foil balloons, however, are self-sealing, so all you’ll need to do is press the mouth flat to prevent leakage.\\n3-7. Shut off the helium.\\nWhen you’re done filling balloons, use the following process to safely prepare the helium tank for return:\\nTurn off the valve on top of the tank (by turning clockwise).\\nPush down on the adaptor to release any helium left in the inflator.\\nPop off the adaptor and unscrew the inflator.\\n4. Creating a Science Experiment\\n4-1. Add two tablespoons of baking soda to a deflated latex balloon.\\nInsert the small end of a funnel into the mouth of the balloon to make this process much easier. Two tablespoons equals roughly 30 grams (1 oz).\\n4-2. Pour four ounces of vinegar into a small soda bottle.\\nUse a clean, dry, empty bottle. Once again, a funnel will make this easier (but rinse away any baking soda residue first). Four ounces equals roughly 120 milliliters (4 fl oz).\\n4-3. Place the balloon’s mouth over the bottle top.\\nStretch the mouth of the balloon over the bottle opening to create a good seal. Leave the rest of the balloon dangling to the side so that no baking soda falls into the bottle (yet).\\n4-4. Let the baking soda fall into the bottle.\\nLift the limp balloon over the top of the bottle and pull upward slightly, so that the baking soda can fall straight down into the bottle. Make sure not to pull the mouth of the balloon off of the bottle.\\n4-5.

How to Blow Up a Cheap Water Balloon
|
1. Stretching the Balloon
1-1. Buy a pack of cheap water balloons.
You can find them at drugstores, party supply stores, online, and at some supermarkets. Make sure to buy as many as you need. Look carefully at the price, the size, and the quantity of the balloons, and compare each package to the other options that you have.
You can use regular party balloons in place of water balloons, but they may not pop as readily as dedicated water-fight balloons. Water balloons tend to be smaller than air and helium balloons, and they are usually made from a thinner material.
1-2. Inflate the balloon with air
Blow the balloon up with your lungs, or use a pump. Fill the balloon so that it is as large with air as it will be with water. Make sure not to over-inflate, or you risk popping the balloon before you even hook it up to a faucet. It is not absolutely necessary to stretch the balloon before filling it with water, but this extra step may make the balloon less prone to popping.
1-3. Stretch the neck and the opening of the balloon.
Many people traditionally fill water balloons by stretching the opening around the mouth of a faucet. However, these small, thin balloons are liable to rip when they are stretched to their limit straight out of the package. To stretch the neck: insert two fingers into the opening of the balloon to give yourself a grip. Pull the neck open to approximately the width of your faucet, your hose, or whichever nozzle you plan to use to fill the water balloon.
This step is less important if you are using a funnel, a nozzle attachment, or a water balloon-filling device. These nozzles are typically much thinner than the average faucet, meaning that the balloon neck doesn't have to stretch so much to fit.
2. Filling the Balloon
2-1. Attach the balloon to a faucet or hose.
Pull the opening of the balloon over the threads of an easily-accessible faucet or hose. Use an easy-fill nozzle attachment, if you have one; some packages of water balloons actually come with a plastic nozzle.
Be careful when you stretch the balloon over the faucet. If you haven't pre-stretched the neck—and even if you have—it is very easy to rip the rubber when you try to snap it onto something.
Make sure that there is a place for water to drain if you pop any balloons during the filling process. Sinks, lawns, and outdoor areas are great for this.
2-2. Siphon the water through a funnel.
Pull the balloon over the lower (output) opening of the funnel, and make sure that it is tight. Simply pour the water through the funnel (from a faucet, a hose, a watering can, etc.) for any easy and nearly-foolproof home method. If you don't have access to a screw-on faucet attachment, this is the next-easiest thing.
2-3. Hold the balloon in place to keep it from slipping.
Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the neck of the balloon onto to the water source while you're filling up. This is an important step whether you are using a funnel, a nozzle, or a regular faucet. Even if a balloon fits onto the faucet without breaking, it is common for the sudden burst of water to pop, snap, or dislodge the balloon. Hold the balloon neck tightly, and do not let go until you tie the balloon.
2-4. Slowly and carefully fill the balloon.
When you have situated the balloon, turn the faucet on halfway for a slow-to-moderate stream of water. Watch the balloon as you fill it up, and turn the water off before it fills to the top. Leave about an inch of airspace so that you can easily tie the balloon.
You can use hot or cold water – or, for that matter, any other liquid with about the same density as water. If you are filling water balloons in the summer, you may want to use cold water for the sake of cooling off.
3. Tying the Balloon
3-1. Pinch the neck and ensure that you have enough room to tie it.
Pinch the bottom of the neck—just above the waterline—with the thumb and first two fingers of your non-dominant hand. Pull and stretch the neck a few times to be sure that you can wrap it around the first two fingers of your pinching hand.
If the balloon is too full to tie, let out a bit of water. Release your grip on the neck, but keep your fingers ready to pinch it shut again as soon as you've freed enough space. Tilt the balloon and pour a small amount of water into a sink, a potted plant, or a lawn.
3-2. Knot the neck of the balloon.
First, stretch the neck as far as it will go, and wrap it completely around the first two fingers of your pinching hand. Then, tuck the loose end of the neck between the tips of the two pinching fingers. Pull the knotted balloon away from your fingers, by the end of the neck, and your water balloon is ready to use!
Alternately, make a loop with the neck and pull the end through. Pull the wrapped neck of the balloon away from the two fingers, creating a slight gap, and poke the loose end in. Pull the loose end of the neck through the other side of the gap. In one fluid motion, pull the whole neck of the balloon away from your two fingers.
3-3. Create a spraying water bomb.
Twist the neck 10-15 times, until it is tight. Then, fasten it shut with a clothespin or a paperclip. Remove the fastener right before you throw the balloon, then hurl it at your target. Since there is no knot, the balloon should unravel mid-flight and spray water everywhere along its trajectory. This gives the balloon a larger impact area while still drenching your intended target.
This method may come in handy if you're having a water fight with a lot of people. You can use one water balloon to soak multiple friends, making each throw more efficient.
Tips
Do this whole process over the sink or outside.
Use a funnel for convenience.
Make sure you tie the balloons tightly or they might pop before you get to throw them!
Warnings
If the balloon bursts, everything might get wet.
Water balloons can be choking hazards. Clean up the shards of popped balloons, especially if there will be small children or animals in the area.
Beware: some people may not like to get wet!

How to Blow Your Nose
|
1. Blowing your Nose Properly
1-1. Hold a tissue or handkerchief over your nose.
Place the tissue or handkerchief over your nose and hold it there. Tissues prevent the spread of germs because you throw them away after use while handkerchiefs are more likely to spread germs, but are more environmentally friendly than tissues.
If you have the cold, flu, or another virus, it may be beneficial to use tissues to prevent the spread of germs. If you have allergies, a handkerchief may be the better option.
If you don’t have tissues or a handkerchief, you can use toilet paper as an alternative. Avoid blowing your nose with coarser materials like paper towels or napkins.
If you have sensitive skin, consider purchasing tissues that have lotion in them.
1-2. Press a finger against one of your nostrils to close it off.
You shouldn’t be able to breathe out of that nostril. Keep the tissue or handkerchief over your nose so that you don’t get mucus on your hands.
It's generally polite to excuse yourself from the table when you blow your nose.
If you're in a public situation, consider going to the bathroom or closing your office door before blowing your nose.
1-3. Blow the open nostril into the tissue or handkerchief gently.
Blow with as little force as you possibly can. Blowing too hard could cause mucus to go up into your sinuses which could cause an infection and worsen your symptoms. If you blow and nothing comes out, do not blow again.
Remember to wipe up excess mucus on the outside of your nose when you've finished blowing.
Blowing your nose too hard could also make the blood vessels in your nose more inflamed. If nothing comes out, it means that your mucus is too thick or your nose is clogged higher up.
1-4. Repeat the process on the other nostril.
Press down on your other nostril and gently blow the mucus out the nostril you held closed before. If done properly, you’ll have properly blown your nose without infecting your sinuses.
Blowing one nostril at a time will help expel mucus easier.
Throw away the tissue after you blow your nose so that you don't spread germs.
1-5. Squeeze the mucus out of your nose instead of blowing it.
Squeeze at the center of your nose and push down towards your nostrils to push the mucus out. This is an alternative to blowing your nose that will prevent you from accidentally blowing too hard.
1-6. Wash your hands
Lather your hands with soap and rinse them thoroughly under the faucet. Then, dry them off with a towel or rag. This will prevent the spread of germs and will reduce the chance of getting other people sick.
Antibacterial soap is no better at removing germs than traditional soap.
2. Loosening and Preventing Mucus
2-1. Take decongestants or antihistamines to prevent mucus.
Over-the-counter decongestants and antihistamines may reduce the amount of mucus and congestion from a sinus infection or cold. These medicines usually come in pill or spray form and can be found at pharmacies.
Antihistamines are more effective at treating symptoms of hay fever or allergies and are less effective at treating a cold or flu.
2-2. Spray a saline spray
You can purchase a saline spray over the counter at a pharmacy or department store. Hold the spray near the opening of your nostril and spray the solution into each nostril.
Saline spray reduces mucus buildup in your nose.
2-3. Apply a warm compress over your nose to loosen mucus.
Hold a washcloth under hot running water and wring it out. Press the compress over your nose and forehead for 1-2 minutes. This should reduce your congestion and potentially loosen any mucus in your nose.
2-4. Inhale steam with eucalyptus oil in it to help your sinuses drain.
Boil a pot of water over your stovetop and put a couple drops of eucalyptus oil in it. Once it starts boiling, inhale the steam that comes off the water. This should reduce your congestion and make blowing your nose much easier.
If you don't have eucalyptus, then inhaling steam may still reduce your runny or stuffy nose.
2-5. Avoid known allergens to prevent clogged sinuses.
Reducing your exposure to the allergens will cut down on your runny nose and congestion so that you don’t have the urge to blow it as often. Commonly people are allergic to animal dander and pollen.
You can ask your doctor to take an allergy test if you’re unsure if you have any allergies.
If your nose is stuffy due to allergies, taking an over-the-counter allergy medication can help.

How to Blow Your Nose with a Nose Ring
|
1. Wash your hands and use a clean tissue.
Prevent your piercing from getting infected when you touch your nose.
Thoroughly scrub your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to get rid of any germs. Get a new tissue every time you need to blow your nose, especially if your piercing is still healing.
2. Use the minimum amount of pressure to blow.
Blow your nose less forcefully than normal.
Avoid pulling down on the jewelry with the tissue so that you don’t accidentally catch or hook it. Be extra gentle if your piercing is new and healing (especially in the first 2-3 weeks when the piercing is tender) or you’ll cause pain and discomfort.
3. Blow out one nostril at a time for a lower pressure approach.
Choose this option if you can comfortably press down on one nostril.
Blowing out your nose one nostril at a time can reduce the overall pressure through your nasal cavities. Press gently on one nostril with your finger and blow through the opposite nostril. Then, switch nostrils and clear the other one out.
4. Try nasal spray if you continually have to blow your nose.
Clear out your nose with saline spray or decongestant.
If you find yourself having to frequently deal with allergies or a cold, consider buying a spray to avoid the excess nasal pressure that can come with blowing your nose. Shake the nasal spray, tilt your head down, and spray into your nose, aiming towards your ear.
For instance, to spray your right nostril, aim the spray slightly towards your right ear. That angle prevents you from spraying too far into your nose, where the nasal spray might cause the tissue to thin and bleed.
5. Inhale steam to soothe and unblock your nose.
Take a hot shower or breathe in steam from a bowl of hot water.
Inhaling steam provides warmth and moisture, which offer short-term relief for your mucous membranes. You can even add chamomile or peppermint oil to the water for a more relaxing experience.
6. Swap your nose ring for a straight-shaped retainer.
Pick this option if you’re prone to allergies or are getting sick.
Wearing a retainer instead of a ring will allow you to blow your nose without worrying about the tissue making contact with your jewelry or getting in the way when you blow. Pick an L-shaped piece (or a retainer with two flat bars for a septum piercing) that sits inside your nose for a snug fit.
When you need to blow your nose, flip the inside bar so that it points upright and sits against the inside of your nose. That way, the jewelry won’t get full of mucus or hit with the pressure of your exhale.
You can flip the bar back down if it’s more comfortable for you, or leave it up until your allergies/cold improves.
Only use this option if your piercing has healed enough to change out your jewelry.
7. Sterilize your jewelry to get rid of mucus build-up.
Leave your nose ring in to clean it.
Use a saline solution to clean off any bacteria and built-up mucus. Make sure your saline solution has 0.9% sodium chloride as the only ingredient (this is a standard saline solution). You can use a cotton ball and the solution to swab off any remaining crusted-on mucus.
Leaving the jewelry in will prevent the hole from closing up. This is particularly crucial if you got the piercing within a year and it’s still healing.
Create your own saline solution by mixing 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) warm distilled water with 0.5 tsp (2.5 g) salt.
8. Clean your piercing site twice a day.
Soak a cotton ball in saline solution.
Then, gently swab your piercing area with the cotton ball. It might sting a little, but that’s normal, especially for piercings that are still healing.
Don’t use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean your piercings since that will irritate the skin and slow healing.
9. Use a cotton swab to clean crusty mucus.
Wipe the swab around the outside of the piercing.
The skin around your piercing might collect crusted fluid or mucus (especially if it’s still healing). Instead of using your fingers, use a cotton swab to gently poke away the debris.
You can also use non-woven gauze.
10. Keep your piercing clean at night with the t-shirt trick.
Cover your pillow in a clean t-shirt every night.
When you’re sick (or when your piercing is healing), regularly wash anything that comes into contact with your nose piercing to prevent infection. To avoid washing your pillowcase daily, just cover it with a clean t-shirt and change the shirt every night.
11. Don’t pick your nose.
Picking your nose can lead to infection and bleeding.
The tissue inside of your nose is really sensitive (and even more so with a piercing). If you tend to have a lot of boogers, drink more water and try a nasal spray.

How to Blow a Bubble with Bubblegum
|
1. Chewing the Gum
1-1. Buy some bubblegum.
If you don't have bubblegum, you can't make a bubble. You can buy gum at pretty much every corner store. Chewing gums can be used to make bubbles,but they won't be as big, and they'll usually pop too easily. To start off, select a pack of bubblegum like Double Bubble or Bazooka. Generally, if there is a picture of a bubble on the package, it's a good choice.
Some gums are also stickier, making them harder to remove from your face when they pop. Usually, if you chew these gums a little longer before blowing a bubble, they won't be quite as sticky.
Gums with less sugar often have a stronger gum base for making bubbles. Gum bases contain a long molecule that adds elasticity to the gum. The right amount will make for the best texture for bubbles.
Avoid old gum. If your gum is stale it will be drier, harder to chew, and bad for making bubbles. Use fresh gum to get the best results.
1-2. Chew
More gum does not necessarily equal more bubbles. At this stage, you're just learning how to blow a bubble, so you don't want to overdo the amount of gum in your mouth. Unwrap one piece and pop it into your mouth.
1-3. Chew the bubblegum until it is soft and smooth.
Work it around your mouth. Chew until the flavor and sugar crystals in it mostly disappear and the bubblegum is very pliable (soft and easily bent). This can take a few minutes, so be patient.
Don't wait too long. After a long time, perhaps half an hour, the bubblegum will deteriorate, becoming stiffer and brittle, and won't work as well.
2. Making a Bubble
2-1. Roll the gum into a ball with your tongue.
Use the roof of your mouth to steady the gum in place while you work the ball shape. It doesn't have to be a perfectly circular shape, just so that the gum is a compacted wad.
Move this ball of gum so that it sits right behind your front teeth. Use your tongue to flatten the ball into a small, flat circle. Use the back of your teeth to help flatten the gum by pushing the ball into them.
2-2. Push your tongue through the flattened gum.
Open your teeth slightly, and extend your tongue until it extends out of your mouth and is covered by a thin, stretched layer of bubblegum. You'll need to be very gentle or you might poke your tongue right through. If that does happen, just form the ball again and start over. Keep practicing as this step can be difficult.
Practice in front of a mirror so you can see when the tip of the gum is in the right position.
2-3. Breathe air into the pocket of gum around your tongue.
Blow gently until you can feel the air begin to fill the gum and start to push the gum out of your mouth in a bubble shape.
Many people make the mistake of blowing just out of their lips rather than using breath from deeper within. Lip breath is not strong enough to produce a proper bubble, so be sure to put more energy into it. The appropriate way to push air into the gum is by producing a heavy sigh. Use your diaphragm to push the air and exhale.
2-4. Pull your tongue out of the layer of gum.
Once the air pressure starts expanding the gum you can remove your tongue. The edges of your teeth will help to keep the gum in place. Keep blowing, slow and steady, as you gradually expand the gum.
Keep your mouth open. Resist the urge to close your lips after removing your tongue. Keeping your mouth in an open position will give you a larger area to push air through.
2-5. Keep blowing as long as you can, or until the bubble bursts.
Use one slow, continuous, and even breath. See how big you can make a bubble before it pops.
For the biggest bubbles, blow bubbles inside. Stay away from wind and hot or cold temperatures. Cold air and wind can pop your bubble early, while hot air can make it so pliable it gets limp.
2-6. Seal off the bubble.
Press your lips together slightly to close the bubble. This will prevent the bubble from getting more air and becoming bigger than desired, or from allowing the air in the bubble to escape.
If you want to avoid the mess of a bubble popping in your face, you can draw the bubble back into your mouth and pop it with your tongue.
2-7. Practice, practice, practice.
You may not succeed the first few tries but that's all part of the fun. Just keep trying until it happens for you and you get the hang of what it feels like. Blowing bubbles can take some getting used to for your jaw, mouth, and diaphragm. With practice, you will strengthen the muscles and the process will become easier.
Tips
Wet your lips a bit before making a bubble and the gum won't stick to your lips when the bubble pops.
Always make sure your gum is soft and don't keep it in for ages as this will make it hard to blow.
Use fresh gum. If it's stale, toss it.
Warnings
Don't swallow your gum. Many gum bases are made of plastic, wax, and rubber, so always spit it out when you're done.

How to Blow a Conch Shell
|
1. Blowing the Conch
1-1. Hold the hole at the top of the conch up to your lips and pucker them tightly.
Position the conch in your dominant hand so that your fingers are covering any holes in the shell, adjusting them as necessary. Place the top part of the shell where the top has been removed over your lips and purse them together so that your lips are tightly closed in front of your teeth.
It may be helpful to wet your lips slightly before you pucker them. Some people find it easier to make their lips vibrate when they’re wet.
1-2. Breathe in deeply from your stomach.
Take in a deep breath with your nose for about 5-7 seconds, filling up your lungs. Try not to raise your shoulders as you breathe, and your stomach will likely expand outward slightly. Take as big of a breath as possible without making yourself lightheaded.
When you’ve taken a large breath, hold it for a second to prevent yourself from getting dizzy or lightheaded when you blow out.
1-3. Blow out forcefully through your lips, causing them to vibrate.
Use your stomach muscles to blow the air out of your lungs through your mouth, keeping your lips close together. Your lips should vibrate slightly, causing the conch to make a noise like a horn. If you’re doing it correctly, it should feel like your lips are “buzzing.”
If your lips aren’t vibrating, try puckering them tighter or loosening them slightly to cause them to vibrate. It may also be helpful to tighten your cheeks slightly, like you’re smiling, as you blow on the conch.
1-4. Adjust the pitch by loosening your lips or moving your tongue.
Move your lips into a position where they’re protruding slightly, like you’re blowing a kiss, to lower the pitch of the conch. Slide your tongue just behind your upper front teeth to force the air through your lips faster, causing the pitch to become higher.
Remember to keep taking deep breaths each time you blow into the conch. If you get winded or tired, take a break before trying again.
2. Making a Conch Horn
2-1. Search on the beach for a conch shell early in the morning.
Walk along the shoreline and look for a row of seashells that washed up in the high tide overnight. Most of the shells on the beach will be near this line, and you might be able to find a conch if you get there as the sun rises. Conches have a spiral “crown” on their top, and a long curl at the bottom of the shell.
The best time to find conch shells is after a storm with strong winds, since the winds and tides tend to carry the heavy shells farther up onto the beach than usual.
It’s common to find different parts of conches on the beach, like the tops, since they’re easily broken.
2-2. Check the shell for large cracks and holes.
Most conch shells have a small hole at the top around the spiral part of the shell where there was once a small sea snail living. The hole should be small enough that you can cover it with one finger. Make sure the shell doesn’t have any other cracks or holes.
Never take a conch that still has a snail living inside of it. If you find a conch with a snail, move the shell back into the water so the snail can survive.
A lot of conch shells have very large holes in them because they’re fragile. Try to find one that only has 1-2 small holes that you can easily cover.
2-3. Make sure you can comfortably hold the shell with one hand.
If the shell is smaller than the length from the tip of your pointer finger to the bottom of your palm, it’s likely too small to use as a horn. The conch should be slightly larger than your hand, but not so large that you can’t comfortably hold it while covering any small holes in the shell.
Holding the shell with 2 hands can change the pitch of the conch or make it slightly quieter.
2-4. Clean
Start by soaking the shell in water to loosen any dirt, and then mix equal parts bleach and water together. Transfer the shell into the bleach solution, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse it under cool water and rub the shell to remove any additional dirt.
If you want to make the conch shiny, let it air dry completely and rub mineral oil or baby oil over the shell.
2-5. Cut the top of the shells crown with an electric hand saw.
Once you’ve found a suitable conch, look at the top of the shell where the curls begin to form. Then, find the 3rd curl from the top of the shell, and use an electric hand saw to cut the top of the shell at that spot. This creates a mouthpiece where you can put your lips to blow into the conch.
The hole should be somewhere between the diameter of a dime and a quarter, depending on the size of the conch.
Tips
Don’t get discouraged if the conch doesn’t work the first time. Keep trying, and make sure you’re puckering your lips to make a vibration, rather than just blowing into the conch!
Warnings
On some protected beaches, it’s illegal to take shells or other items from the beach that are part of the natural ecosystem. Be sure to check the rules of the beach before you take a conch.

How to Blow a Fuse
|
1. Assembling Your Materials
1-1. Obtain a fuse.
There are two main types of fuses: cylindrical and plug fuses. Cylindrical fuses consist of a ribbon of fusible metal enclosed in a ceramic or fiber cylinder. This type of fuse is usually used in appliances. Plug fuses are typically used to protect in home electrical wiring and consist of a metal strip through which current must flow. These are placed in an electric circuit so that current flows through the metal strip to complete the circuit. These typically have a window in the plug so you can see the condition of the metal strip.
If excess current flows through the fuse, the metal strip will heat to its melting point and break. This is what blows a fuse.
An ampere, or its abbreviation "amp", is a unit that is used to measure electrical current. Current can be defined as a count of the number of electrons running through a circuit. One amp is the amount of current produced by one volt.
The ampere rating of a fuse is based on the number of amps (i.e the amount of electrical current) a fuse can handle before it will blow.
1-2. Obtain a power supply and wires.
You should have a power-supply with an ampere-rating greater than your fuse ampere-rating. And lastly two wires that will connect the power-supply and the fuse. The ampere-rating of the wires should be greater or equal to power-supply ampere-rating.
In order to blow a fuse, the number of amps produced from the power supply and wires must be greater than that of the fuse. When you want to blow a fuse you need to make sure that you are putting more amps through the fuse than it can handle.
A power supply can be a battery. Copper wires are good conductors of electricity. These, and most fuses, can be purchased from most hardware stores. Consult packaging for amperage ratings.
1-3. Obtain and wear protective gear.
Some fuses may explode, so you need to protect yourself from danger with protective gear.
Wires may get hot when power supply runs through them. Also keep in mind that wires are conductors of electricity. In order to safely handle these, make sure you have gloves made of 100% rubber, as this is the only sure way to protect yourself from both the heat and electrical current of your wires. Rubber is an insulator from electric current.
It is also a good idea to wear protective goggles to shield your eyes from glass or plastic debris that might result from an exploded fuse.
2. Connecting and Blowing the Fuse
2-1. Connect the power supply to wires.
In order to blow your fuse, you must create a complete circuit using the power supply, wires, and fuse.
All power supplies, such as batteries, will have a positive and negative terminal. This is where you should connect your wires to your power source.
Place one wire on the negative terminal of your power supply.
Place the other on the positive terminal of your power supply.
2-2. Connect the wires to either end of the fuse.
This will complete the circuit needed to run electric current through the fuse from the power supply.
Make sure the wires are touching both the positive and negative ends of the terminal as well as both ends of the fuse. If there is not complete contact, the circuit is not complete and electricity cannot be conducted.
2-3. Do a safety check.
Some fuses may explode, so it is an important safety step to make sure your gear is properly worn before turning on the power supply.
You should not work near any flammable materials. Electric currents may produce a spark that can ignite flammable liquids and dry flammable objects.
2-4. Turn on the power supply.
The fuse should now blow. Proceed with caution.
If your fuse does not blow, disconnect the power supply and check to see that your circuit is connected properly. Check to make sure that the metal strip inside the fuse is intact. If it is not, the fuse is already broken and you should try a different fuse. If you are using a battery as a power source, test to see that it is working properly.
Tips
Some fuses may explode, so it is best wear protective gear for your body and face.
Make sure you follow specifications stated about ampere ratings. You may destroy a power-supply and/or the wires if you do not follow these guidelines.
Warnings
Wires may heat-up so use the protective gloves.
Keep away from flammable materials while conducting this experiment.
These kinds of experiments may cause sparks, which are a fire hazard.

How to Blow a Kiss
|
1. Making the Gesture
1-1. Wait until you are a short distance away from the person.
Blowing a kiss is a non-verbal show of affection that works best when you are a short distance away from someone (e.g., across the room.) If you blow someone a kiss at close proximity, it may seem odd and unnecessary. Opt to express your feelings verbally instead of blowing a kiss if you are close enough to do so.
1-2. Lock eyes with the person you are blowing a kiss to.
Making direct eye contact when blowing a kiss lets the person you are sending it to know that it is for them. Look at the person until they look back at you and smile when they meet your gaze. Hold that eye contact while you blow them a kiss.
If they break eye contact before you make the gesture, wait until they look back at you to try again.
1-3. Kiss your palm.
Slowly bring the palm of your hand to your mouth. Touch your palm lightly with your lips. Pucker your lips while you do this to emphasize the kissing motion.
1-4. Position your hand.
After kissing your palm, bring your hand flat under your mouth. Make sure that your palm is facing upwards. Point the tips of your fingers towards the person you are blowing a kiss to.
1-5. Blow away the imaginary kiss.
Purse your lips to mimic a blowing motion or to actually blow across the surface of your hand. The motion will signify you blowing the kiss to its intended target. Do this gesture slowly to create emphasis.
2. Making Sure It's Appropriate
2-1. Be mindful about your cultural surroundings.
Blowing a kiss is a gesture that is well-understood in North American culture, but not necessarily in others. Be aware of your cultural surroundings or the cultural background of the person you wish to blow a kiss to. If you make the gesture to someone who doesn't understand it, you may be left in an awkward situation.
In Brazil, for instance, the gesture of bringing your fingers to your mouth as if you kiss them signifies the enjoyment of a meal and not a sign of affection.
2-2. Choose an appropriate time and place.
Before you blow a kiss, make sure it is an appropriate situation and done in the right context. Blowing a kiss is often seen as a flirtatious gesture, which can be problematic in the workplace. It is also a gesture that you and the recipient of your kiss may not wish for certain people to see (e.g., gossiping neighbors.)
2-3. Make sure the person won't be uncomfortable.
Blowing a kiss is a bold statement of affection that you should think about carefully beforehand. A person who does not want to receive your affections may feel uncomfortable or harassed by the gesture. If there is any chance that the person will be made uncomfortable by the kiss, avoid doing it.
For instance, if a person has already rejected your romantic advances, avoid blowing them a kiss.
Tips
Blow a kiss to someone long distance by sending a video of you making the gesture.
Blowing a kiss is often done as a way of saying goodbye.

How to Blow a Raspberry
|
1. Blowing Raspberries with Your Mouth
1-1. Stick out your tongue a bit.
The amount of tongue you use varies the sound and intensity of the raspberry. You can stick your tongue out just a little for a subtle raspberry, or stick it out 1 in (2.5 cm) or so to make a loud noise.
1-2. Blow with consistent force to make noise with your mouth.
Take a deep breath in, and let it out in order to blow the raspberry with your mouth.
If you don't inhale before you blow, the raspberry will not make a sound.
1-3. Wiggle your hands as you blow raspberries to make others laugh.
To make blowing the raspberry extra silly, open your hands and place your thumbs by your ears. Then, move your fingertips around as you blow the raspberry.
Babies, in particular, may find this very funny.
1-4. Shake your head around while blowing the raspberry to vary the sound.
If you want to change the sound of your raspberry, try moving your head back and forth from side-to-side or up and down. The change of your head placement can make the raspberry sound faster or change the overall pitch.
For example, move your head from left to right very quickly for a fast, funny sound.
2. Blowing Raspberries on Someone’s Skin
2-1. Ask for permission before blowing the raspberry.
If you are doing this to an older child or adult, be sure to get their consent. While it's silly and fun, some people may not want you to do this.
2-2. Put your lips on their skin in an "O" shape.
You can blow a raspberry on their tummy, arm, or somewhere else. Simply place your lips on their skin, and open your mouth slightly to make an “O” shape.
2-3. Blow with consistent force for a tickling effect.
When you want to give the raspberry, take a deep breath in through your nose and let out the air through your mouth to make the sound. Doing this while your lips are on someone's skin tickles the other person and makes a funny noise.
3. Encouraging Your Baby to Make Noise
3-1. Play with your baby and act silly.
You can easily add blowing raspberries to your normal playtime activities. Start off by playing with a toy or teething device to get the baby's attention.
Blowing raspberries may help your baby establish language and communication skills.
3-2. Stick out your tongue and blow to make a raspberry.
While playing with your child, take a deep breath in, and exhale the air with your tongue out to blow the raspberry. This creates a funny noise that babies often find amusing.
You can blow a raspberry into the air, on their stomach, or on their arm, for example.
3-3. Make other mouth noises to encourage your baby to mimic you.
In addition to raspberries, you can stick your tongue out and keep blowing air to make other silly sounds. Try pressing out your lower lip and moving your index finger over top repetitively to vary the noises.
Most babies begin blowing raspberries around 6-8 months old.
When your baby mimics you, you can also replicate the noise they make to mimic them back. This keeps the "dialogue" going, which encourages them to make more sounds.
Babies often repeat sounds as they are learning to communicate. This helps them regulate their voice and change volume and pitch.
3-4. Continue doing this during playtime to encourage communication.
Blow raspberries for a few minutes each time you play with your child. Over time, they may start to make more noises than before.
This, in turn, can improve their language development, which helps speed up the process of saying their first words.
Once the baby can comfortably blow raspberries back at you, they likely will develop their language skills soon after.
Tips
While blowing raspberries for your baby, it is also helpful to talk to them frequently and sing songs. This way, they get more auditory stimulation, which helps them develop their communication.[12]
X
Research source
Don’t overthink blowing a raspberry. This is an easy action that is second-nature once you do it the first time.
Warnings
Try to be mindful of how much spit you spray when blowing raspberries. If you have a lot of spit in your mouth, it may spray onto your friends or family members as you do this. They will think this is gross rather than funny!
If your baby is not vocalizing with sound by about 8 months old, talk to your doctor. This could be an indication of delayed speech development, for instance, and your doctor can help you further.[13]

How to Blow a Shofar
|
1. Practicing the Technique
1-1. Find a shofar that sits comfortably between your lips.
Shofars come in a variety of shapes, so it’s important to find one that suits you. Look for a shofar that is comfortable to hold between your lips, since that will be your only method of controlling how it sounds. Though size or looks may factor into your choice, they are less important than the comfort of the mouthpiece.
1-2. Pull back and tighten your lips as if you were making a strong “T” sound.
Hold this position to make your lips taut. The tighter your lips are, the higher pitched note your shofar will produce. Some services call for notes of variable pitches, so practice tightening and loosening your lips while blowing.
1-3. Press the shofar gently to your lips.
Pucker your lips and press the shofar to them. Press it gently to ensure your lips have room to vibrate while blowing. Make sure the hole between your mouth and the instrument is small to seal all the air in. If necessary, use two fingers to hold the shofar in place.
Jewish tradition dictates that the shofar be placed at the right side of one’s mouth, though most rabbis are fine with other methods.
1-4. Blow a small amount of dry air.
Though it may look intimidating, the shofar does not require a lot of lung power to blow properly. Blow a small amount of dry air into the shofar, being careful to not overexert yourself on any one blow. Do not pucker your cheeks, since the power of your breaths should originate from the diaphragm.
1-5. Vibrate your lips.
The sound of a shofar is produced largely by the vibration of your lips. While blowing, make sure your breaths are fast enough to produce vibration, giving the instrument something to enhance and project. To practice, try and make a buzzing sound with your lips, as if you were blowing a raspberry or making an elephant noise.
2. Learning the Blasts
2-1. Practice the tekiah.
A tekiah is one unbroken blow that lasts between two and four seconds. It is a sound of exultation and joy that can represent anything from peace and stability to the exaltation of G-d.
In most shofar services, tekiahs are placed at the beginning and end of each line of notes.
2-2. Practice the shevarim.
A shevarim is made of three quick, separated blows. It is supposed to sound like a fractured tekiah, so each blow should last less than a second. The shevarim represents howls and moans, so each note should be sharp and melancholy.
2-3. Practice the teruah.
A teruah is made of approximately nine short blows. Each note should be quicker than an individual shevarim and played in rapid succession. Depending on your sect of Judaism, the teruah may represent either an alarm, a call to action, or a wail of sorrow.
2-4. Practice the tekiah gedolah.
A tekiah gedolah is an extended version of the normal tekiah. Traditional sects hold it for nine counts, while progressive sects hold it for as long as the shofar player is able. With practice, some people can sustain this note for over a minute.
For Yom Kippur, many sects play a single tekiah gedolah to conclude the holiday.

How to Blow a Viking Horn
|
1. Playing the Horn
1-1. Tighten the corners of your lips together to “buzz” them.
Keep your lips looser in the center and tight in the corners as if you’re saying the letter M. Vibrate your lips together to make a consistent buzzing noise. Put your hand in front of your mouth and check that you’re blowing out a consistent airstream or else you won’t be able to play the horn very well.
It may take a few tries before your lips start buzzing.
1-2. Hold the narrow end of the horn tightly against your lips.
Grab the horn by the narrow end, leaving about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) between your hand and the tip of the horn. Press the hole at the end of the horn against the middle of your lips so no air can escape out the sides. Position the wide end of the horn so it’s pointing up so the sound of your horn resonates better.
You can buy a Viking horn online. While they are regularly made with cow horns, you may be able to find horns made from many different animals.
You can also try putting the Viking horn on the side of your lips if your lips buzz more there.
Don’t put any part of the horn in your mouth since it won’t play any notes otherwise.
1-3. Buzz your lips on the horn to play a note.
As you’re holding the horn against your lips, start buzzing them as you practiced earlier to produce a sound from the horn. If you don’t hear any noise from your horn, then readjust the horn on your lips and try again. Check that no air escapes out the sides of your mouth or else you won’t get a solid, strong tone. Practice holding the note on your horn as long as you can so you can perfect your form.
Viking horns can only play a single tone that depends on the size and shape of the horn.
Longer horns take more air to play a consistent note, so take a deep breath before you start playing.
Larger horns produce a lower tone while smaller horns are higher pitched.
1-4. Click your tongue on the roof of your mouth to play separate notes.
After you’ve practiced holding a consistent tone on your horn, click the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth while you’re playing. Each time you lift your tongue, you’ll block the air for a brief moment and play short, separated notes. Try clicking faster and slower to change the rhythm of the notes you’re playing.
Practice without your horn by putting your hand in front of your mouth while you practice clicking your tongue. You should be able to feel the breaks in the airflow each time your tongue touches the top of your mouth.
2. Changing the Horn’s Sound
2-1. Purse your lips more to play higher octaves of the same note.
While Viking horns only have a single tone, you may be able to play higher pitches by changing your mouth posture. Tighten the corners of your lips more and keep your lips pressed together to limit your airflow more. When you buzz your lips on the horn, the faster air will make your note sound higher pitched. Practice playing your horn while you tighten and loosen your lips to play 2 or 3 different notes.
Large horns may be more difficult to create a higher pitch than smaller horns.
You can usually play 1 or 2 different octaves on a Viking horn.
2-2. Put your hand in the end of the horn to lower the pitch.
Turn your horn so the wide end faces toward your free hand. As you play your note, place the bottom of your palm on the outer rim of the horn’s wide end. Wrap your fingers over the rim so they’re inside the horn. You’ll notice the note change to a lower tone as you put your hand inside the horn and get higher when you remove it.
Don’t block the end of your horn completely or else it won’t make any noise.
2-3. Get a horn with a mouthpiece if you want to play louder.
Some Viking horns have a built-in mouthpiece that makes it easier to form a tight seal. Look for a horn with a metal mouthpiece and play it as you would normally. The mouthpiece will help amplify the horn so it’s louder when you blow into it.
If you want to add a mouthpiece to your existing horn, you may need to carve the hole on the narrow end to make one fit.
Tips
Practice as much as you can to perfect your tone and make it easier to play.

How to Blow into a Trumpet
|
1. Making the Correct Mouth Shape with Your Lips and Teeth
1-1. Make a closed shape with your lips.
Keep your mouth relaxed and your airway open for good airflow while bringing your lips together in the middle.
Press your lips together as if making an 'm' sound, like the beginning of the word 'mother.'
Your lips should be together, but only slightly.
Keep the corners of your lips tight to prevent air from escaping.
1-2. Be sure to not clench your teeth.
Having your jaws tight will constrict airflow, cut off your notes prematurely, and make holding your lip shape more difficult. With your jaws partly open, the rest of your mouth should be wide and hollow.
1-3. Constrict your diaphragm muscles to exhale forcefully.
Breathing from deep down in your chest and stomach gives force to the notes for both volume and clarity.
Push air through your lips with them pressed lightly together until they buzz.
Good lung capacity for sustained notes is essential for playing the trumpet.
If there is too little air escaping, relax your mouth and try making the 'm' shape again.
2. Practicing with a Mouthpiece Not Attached to a Trumpet
2-1. Keep your lips securely together.
Maintaining this form is the basis for proper trumpet playing. The position of your mouth and lips to the mouthpiece is called embouchure. Over time, you will be able to develop your own embouchure, tailored to your individual playing style and genre of music.
Bring the mouthpiece to your lips and place it in the center of your lips, not to either side. This will assure the best sound.
Everyone's mouth is different, so as long as you can make the correct buzzing with your lips and sustain your notes, find what position works best for you.
Wet lips will help change dynamics faster, but they will make the mouthpiece more slippery. Dry lips will stick to the mouthpiece and make holding the correct 'm' shape with your lips easier.
2-2. Relax your shoulders and breathe from your stomach.
Having your entire body relaxed will allow you to slow your breathing and produce longer, clearer, and continuous notes.
Tension will distort the notes.
Breathing from your stomach will enhance your lung capacity and help make longer notes easier.
Take a full breath each time you blow into the mouthpiece.
Keep your shoulders steady when you inhale so your breathing will be stronger.
2-3. Blow into the mouthpiece.
Your lips should buzz into the mouthpiece with good airflow. Your embouchure will develop over time with practice, allowing you to play at high and low pitches with minimal effort.
Avoid puffing out your cheeks or extending your lips too much.
The looser your lips, the lower the sound produced.
If buzzing correctly, the mouthpiece should produce a honking sound.
Keep the airflow constant to produce a steady note.
2-4. Separate your notes with the tip of your tongue.
The way a note is played is called articulation. The notes can be held out, slurred together, or rapidly cut off for staccato tempos.
You can separate your notes by touching the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
Tapping your tongue against your teeth will create a brief pause between your notes.
Keep your mouth relaxed and your teeth apart to allow steady airflow between tapping of your notes.
2-5. Attach the mouthpiece to the trumpet.
Once the mouthpiece is secured, blow into the instrument using the same skills of the 'm' lip shape, embouchure, relaxation, and breathing. By controlling your airflow and articulating long and short notes with your tongue, you will be able to move forward with learning the trumpet.
Tips
Good posture is essential. Keep your feet on the floor and your back against the chair. [12]

How to Blow the Bottom out of a Bottle
|
1. Using the Right Materials
1-1. Use a glass bottle.
Expect plastic bottles to be much more durable than glass ones. So, in other words, don’t expect this trick to work on them. Stick to glass bottles, since these are much more likely to break (which, in this case, is what you want to happen).
The size of the bottle shouldn't matter, as long as you can hold it up when it's filled with water.
1-2. Empty the bottle of its original contents.
The one exception to this rule would be if it held flat, plain water. Otherwise, pour out or drink up the original liquid. Definitely do so if it’s carbonated (such as soda or beer). Expect the bubbles in carbonated beverages to prevent this trick from succeeding.
1-3. Refill it with flat water.
Once it’s empty, fill it up again with plain water. Remember, though: carbonation is the enemy, so don’t use seltzer or sparkling waters. Also, don’t fill it all the way up to the brim. Leave an inch or two (2.5 to 5 cm) of air on top.
You could possibly try using other flat, non-carbonated beverages, but water is a sure-fire bet.
2. Acting Safely
2-1. Stay clear of electrical devices.
Keep in mind that, if successful, you’re going to soak the immediate area with a bottle’s worth of water. Make sure there aren’t any wires or plugged-in devices nearby. Eliminate the risk of electrical shock.
2-2. Wear protective clothing.
Also keep in mind that glass is about to break and fall free from the rest of the bottle. Reduce the risk of getting cut by covering any exposed skin below your waist. Wear pants instead of shorts and shoes instead of sandals.
2-3. Hold the bottle over a bucket or other container.
Remember: the glass that breaks free from the bottle may break again when it strikes the ground. Use a bucket to catch both the glass and the water. Make clean-up a cinch without the risk of cutting your bare feet later on if you step on a small piece of glass that you missed while sweeping up.
2-4. Aim the bottom of the bottle away from everyone.
Keep other people’s safety in mind, too. Do not aim the bottle’s bottom at anyone. If you’re not using a bucket, clear the area and spread your feet wide apart.
3. Pulling the Trick Off
3-1. Grip the bottleneck tightly.
Keep a firm grip on the bottle. At the same time, be sure to keep your hand close to the top. Expect each bottle to break differently when you do this trick, so keep your hand well away from the bottom to reduce the chance of cutting yourself.
3-2. Hold the bottle still.
Maximize all the force that you can muster when you strike the bottle’s top in just a moment. Do this by holding the bottle as still as you can. Expect to lose some force when you make contact if you’re moving the bottle this way and that.
3-3. Strike the bottle with your other hand.
Raise your free hand and then bring it down sharply. Strike the bottle’s mouth dead-center in your palm. Ideally, this will cause the bottom to burst. However, it may take a few tries, so just keep trying if at first you don’t succeed.
Alternatively, you can use a rubber mallet instead of your hand so it doesn’t become bruised or numb from too many tries.

How to Blow the Shell off a Hard Boiled Egg
|
1. Steps
1-1. Remove a little bit of shell from each end of the egg.
It helps to gently hit the ends against a hard surface to create small cracks. Do this to an area about the size of a dime on the smaller end (18 mm diameter) and about the size of a nickel on the larger end (21 mm diameter).
1-2. Roll the egg between your hands or on a hard surface to loosen the shell from the egg.
This should produce small cracks throughout the shell.
1-3. Hold the egg in your right hand.
Keep the smaller end toward you.
1-4. Form a circle with the thumb and index finger of your right hand that is about the same size as the opening on the smaller end of the egg.
Be sure your thumb is over your index finger. Place the thumb/index finger circle over the opening on the small end.
1-5. Place your left hand under and around your right hand, cupping the egg.
Be sure that your fingers fit together and make a seal. This seal is key in directing all the air into the shell and not letting it escape around it.
1-6. Bring your hands and the egg to your mouth, forming a seal between your lips and the circle formed with your right hand.
1-7. Take a deep breath and blow hard.
It takes more air pressure than you think to push the egg from its shell. If necessary, repeat until the egg is out.
1-8. Rinse your hard-boiled treasure to remove any small pieces of shell left behind.
Tips
Boil the eggs in salty water to loosen the bond between the egg and the shell.
Soft-boiled eggs can be blown also, but with limited success. See How to Peel a Soft Boiled Egg.
If the egg doesn't come out on the first try, try again. Some are stubborn, but with coaxing, will finally yield.
Warnings
Especially during flu season, you probably want to save this technique for eggs you're planning to eat yourself, not serve to others.
Don't let the egg fly out of your hands. All your efforts will be for naught if the egg takes flight and lands on the floor.
Don't do it near carpets, curtains or any hard-to clean objects.

How to Blow up a Balloon With Baking Soda and Vinegar
|
1. Inflating the Balloon
1-1. Pour a little vinegar into a plastic bottle.
Choose a plastic water bottle, or another bottle with a narrow neck. Pour 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of vinegar into the bottle, using a funnel if you have one. Use white vinegar, also called distilled vinegar, for the best result.
You can try this with any kind of vinegar, but the inflation might take longer or require more vinegar to work. Other types of vinegar tend to be more expensive as well.
Vinegar can damage metal containers, potentially adding an unpleasant taste to food and drink stored in that container. If you have no plastic bottles, use a high-quality stainless steel bottle to minimize the chance of this happening. Weakening the vinegar with an equal amount of water might also help, and won't prevent the balloon from inflating.
1-2. Use a funnel or straw to put a little baking soda into a limp balloon.
You can use any shape and color of balloon. Hold it loosely by the neck, with the open side of the balloon facing towards you. Fit a funnel into the neck if you have one, then pour about two tablespoons (30 mL) baking soda into the balloon, or just fill the balloon about halfway full.
If you don't have a funnel, you can place a plastic straw into a pile of baking soda, put your finger over the top hole of the straw, then poke the straw into the balloon and lift your finger. Tap the straw to get the baking soda to fall out, and repeat until the balloon is at least 1/3 of the way full.
1-3. Stretch the neck of the balloon over the top of the bottle.
Be careful not to spill the baking soda while you do this. Hold the balloon's neck with both hands and stretch it over the top of the plastic bottle containing vinegar. Have a friend keep the bottle steady if the table or bottle is wobbly.
1-4. Lift the balloon up over the bottle and watch the reaction.
The baking soda should fall out of the balloon, through the neck of the bottle, and into the vinegar at the bottom. Here, the two chemicals will fizz and react, turning into other chemicals. One of these is carbon dioxide, a gas, which will rise up and inflate the balloon.
Shake the bottle gently to mix the two ingredients if there's not much fizzing.
1-5. Try again with more vinegar or baking soda, if it doesn't work the first time.
If the fizzing has stopped and the balloon still hasn't inflated after you count to 100, empty out the bottle and try again with more vinegar and baking soda. The stuff left in the bottle has turned into other chemicals, mostly water, so it can't be used again.
Don't go overboard. The bottle should never be more than about 1/3 full of vinegar.
2. Grasping how the Process Works
2-1. Learn about chemical reactions.
Just about everything around you is made up of molecules, or different types of substances. Often, two kinds of molecules react with each other, breaking up and forming different molecules out of the pieces.
2-2. Learn about baking soda and vinegar.
The reactants, or substances that reacted with each other in the fizzy reaction you saw, are baking soda and vinegar. Unlike many ingredients in your kitchen, both of these are simple chemicals, not complicated mixtures of many chemicals:
Baking soda is another word for the molecule sodium bicarbonate.
White vinegar is a mixture of acetic acid and water. Only the acetic acid reacts with the baking soda.
2-3. Read about the reaction.
Baking soda is a type of substance called a . Vinegar, or acetic acid, is a type of substance called an . Bases and acids react with each other, partially breaking apart and forming different substances. This is described as "neutralization" because the end result is neither a base nor an acid. In this case, the new substances are water, a kind of salt, and carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide, a gas, leaves the liquid mixture and expands throughout the bottle and the balloon, inflating it.
Although the definition of acid and base can get complicated, you can compare the differences between the original substances and the "neutralized" result to see there are obvious changes. For instance, vinegar has a strong smell and can be used to dissolve grime and dirt. After being mixed with baking soda, it smells much less strongly and is no more effective at cleaning than water is.
2-4. Study the chemical formula.
If you're familiar with some chemistry, or curious about how scientists describe reactions, the formula below describes the reaction between sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 and acetic acid HC2H3O2(aq). Can you figure out how each molecule splits apart and reforms?
NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2(aq) → NaC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
The letters in parentheses show the state the chemicals are in during and after the reaction: (g)as, (l)iquid, or (aq)ueous. "Aqueous" means the chemical is dissolved in water.
Tips
This method can also be used in homemade cardboard or plastic rockets and you can make them go a long way if ingredients are out right. The reason it blows up is because the reaction creates gas, and the pressure builds up.
You can use lime juice instead of vinegar.
Warnings
If the balloon is fully inflated and the liquid is still fizzing, the balloon might be about to explode. Decide whether you have time to pull off the balloon, or whether you should just cover your face before it gets spattered!

Pour 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of vinegar into the bottle, using a funnel if you have one. Use white vinegar, also called distilled vinegar, for the best result.\\nYou can try this with any kind of vinegar, but the inflation might take longer or require more vinegar to work. Other types of vinegar tend to be more expensive as well.\\nVinegar can damage metal containers, potentially adding an unpleasant taste to food and drink stored in that container.

Stretch the neck of the balloon over the top of the bottle.\\nBe careful not to spill the baking soda while you do this. Hold the balloon's neck with both hands and stretch it over the top of the plastic bottle containing vinegar. Have a friend keep the bottle steady if the table or bottle is wobbly.\\n1-4. Lift the balloon up over the bottle and watch the reaction.\\nThe baking soda should fall out of the balloon, through the neck of the bottle, and into the vinegar at the bottom. Here, the two chemicals will fizz and react, turning into other chemicals.

How to Find Mew in Pokémon Red/Blue
|
1. Gambler and Youngster Glitch
1-1. Restart your saved game if you went too far in the game.
This glitch requires you to battle Gambler and Youngster.
1-2. Go in front of the Gambler below the underground path from Lavender Town to Celadon City and press the Start button immediately.
Instead of not letting you pause the game, your Pause Menu will appear.
1-3. Fly to Cerulean City.
The gambler will see you after you press fly and you'll hear his music, but you will then fly to Cerulean City anyway. Your start button won't yet work, but it will shortly after.
1-4. Go up to the Youngster in the bush area just after Nugget Bridge.
He's the second Youngster you come across and he's facing up. He's also standing above a "Lass". He's very easy to beat now, as he only has a Slowpoke.
1-5. Defeat the trainer and fly all the way back to Lavender Town.
Your start button should work.
1-6. Walk to the left exit of the town.
Your pause menu should pop-up automatically.
1-7. Exit out of the pause menu to begin battle.
Be careful because Mew will only be at level 7!
1-8. Catch the Mew with the Master Ball or weaken it using attacks.
Or, if it is weakened enough, try catching it with a Poké Ball.
2. Trainer and Youngster Glitch
2-1. Restart the game if you went too far.
This glitch requires you to battle the trainer hidden in the grass and Youngster (both in Cerulean).
2-2. Catch an Abra (if you don't have another Pokémon that knows Teleport).
You can find it on Routes 24 & 25 in Pokémon Blue/Red and on Route 5 (you may need a Pokémon who can put it to sleep).
2-3. Go to the north of Cerulean and stand in the same spot of the character in the photo/video.
2-4. Save.
2-5. Walk forward.
Press start at the same moment.
2-6. Select Abra and Teleport.
The trainer will see you but you'll find yourself at the Cerulean Pokémon Center anyway.
2-7. Go to the Youngster (route that takes you to Bill); he's the third one.
Make sure you don't get into any random battles before him and to leave a gap between him and you (so he'll be able to walk).
2-8. Beat the trainer (he has only a Slowpoke) and use Teleport again.
You'll be outside the Pokémon Center again.
2-9. Walk north again.
At some point the Menu will pop up. Exit it and you should find yourself in a battle with Mew!
3. Using a Glitch to Catch any Pokémon
3-1. Extend your catching prowess.
Now that you know how the trick works, use it to catch other Pokémon. Fighting the Youngster will always result in a Mew encounter because his Slowpoke has a Special of 21 (15 in hex). But if you fight something else before returning to Route 8, it will change which Pokémon you encounter. For example, say you chose a starting Pokémon other than Bulbasaur and regret your decision. Bulbasaur's hex number is 99, which converts to 153 in decimal. Now, you could fight a wild Pokémon with a Special of 153, but the only place to find that is on a Level 64 Chansey in the Unknown Dungeon, and those Chansey are quite rare. Worse, they only have a one-in-sixteen chance of having the right Special. Fortunately, there is a solution: Ditto's Transform, which copies the stats of the opponent. This means that you can catch any Pokémon in the game by following the steps set forth in this section.
3-2. Catch or raise a Pokémon with the proper Special stat (153 for Bulbasaur).
You can find a complete list of which decimal value is needed for each Pokémon at the bottom of the page.
3-3. There.
Fly away from the Gambler battle.
3-4. Fight any trainer that can see you from a distance and walk up to you (this is necessary to both unlock your Start button and trigger the Route 8 battle).
3-5. Find a wild Ditto and let it Transform into your Pokémon with the proper Special.
3-6. Beat the Ditto (or just run away) and immediately fly to Lavender Town without fighting anything else.
3-7. Enter Route 8, and Bulbasaur (or whatever) will appear.
3-8. Note that since only the least significant of the two Special bytes is used for this, you can also add 256 to the values listed above and use that Special to get the same Pokémon.
This is important because there are a few Pokémon, such as Kangaskhan, whose identifying value is lower than the minimum Special that any Pokémon can have. In Kangaskhan's case, you can find her by using a Special of 258 (2 + 256).
Also note that when you perform this trick, any trainers you fight after the Gambler will be "used up." Make sure you have enough unused trainers to catch all the Pokémon you want! Fortunately, the Gambler can be used to initiate the trick an unlimited number of times.
4. Gambler and Biker glitch
4-1. Restart your game if you went too far.
This method requires you to battle Gambler and Biker.
4-2. Go in front of the Gambler below the underground path form Lavender to Celadon and immediately press start.
4-3. Fly to Fuchsia City (after that, your start button will temporarily be disabled).
4-4. Walk to Bicycle Road and then go up.
4-5. Once the bike is moving up slowly, keep going up.
When you see water in front of you, turn right.
4-6. After that, go up until you see grass.
The Biker you'll need to battle will be facing the grass.
4-7. Go up to the Biker.
Battle him.
4-8. After you battle him, your start button will work again.
Fly to Lavender Town, and then go left towards route 8. You're start button will then pop up automatically. Press out of it.
4-9. After that, there's your Mew.
Catch Mew with a Master Ball, or weaken it, and then catch it with a Pokeball.
Tips
You can use both Teleport and Fly.
It is okay to save during the process. It won't ruin the glitch.
Mew's only attack is Pound.
Warnings
This takes a lot of work if you are not experienced.
On very rare occasions (most likely if you use the glitch to encounter a glitch Pokémon not listed below, rather than a normal Pokémon), the glitch can delete your save file (unless you transferred your saved data onto another game). Use it at your own risk.
The first method is actually a (very well working) glitch, and therefore, though it will usually be fine, sometimes the Mew might be messed up. If that is the case, you should forget about it.
Although you can save while in the process of performing the glitch, if you don't know the result of performing it (say you fought some random person), you could mess your file or cartridge up by saving it then.
Because you will only have Poké Balls, be prepared to battle Mew multiple times to catch it. Try catching a Caterpie and evolving it to Butterfree to confuse Mew. This will make it easier to catch it.

Understanding Blue Auras: Meanings, Personality, & More
|
1. What does a blue aura mean?
People with blue auras are strong communicators and deep thinkers.
They're unafraid to speak their mind, they're generally very intuitive, and they excel in creative and artistic pursuits. Blue aura people also have a passion for helping others—they’re great listeners and are empathetic to those in need. Blue auras come in many shades, but they all share these distinctive characteristics to some degree.
Those with blue auras are drawn to creative or helpful jobs like nursing, teaching, counseling, public speaking, or performing.
Blue is considered a soothing color, and blue aura people are typically calm, balanced, and level-headed.
It takes time and practice to see and read a person's aura, but its energy and disposition can always be felt.
2. Different Shades of Blue Auras
2-1. Royal or “true blue” auras are highly sensitive and intuitive.
People with true blue auras are well-tuned to the world and to others, and may even have clairvoyant abilities. Empathy, generosity, and openness are trademark traits of this color aura. Those with this aura face new adventures and challenges with positivity and don’t let fear or negativity cloud their thoughts.
2-2. Sky blue or light blue auras represent honesty, clarity, and calmness.
Individuals with this shade of blue are intelligent, creative leaders who use their communication skills to lift others and voice support for doing the right thing. They’re generally well-trusted and deeply value honesty and sincerity.
2-3. Dark blue or blue-indigo auras signify deep intuition and inner knowing.
The dark or indigo shade comes from a strong Third Eye chakra (located in the forehead), which governs your spiritual health and subconscious mind. Those with this aura are wise, authoritative, and considerate of others’ feelings. They remain cool and collected, even during chaotic moments.
2-4. Those with turquoise or blue-green auras are compassionate and helpful.
The green tint comes from a strong Heart Chakra, which is linked to healing, emotions, and love. People with a turquoise aura are resilient and view setbacks as valuable learning experiences. A turquoise aura person needs to be careful not to let their empathy for others spiral into negative emotions.
Other people recognize turquoise aura individuals as helpful, positive influences.
People with green or blue-green auras are compatible with healing professions, like nursing or therapy, because of their sensitivity and soothing nature.
3. Blue Auras and the Throat Chakra
Blue auras come from the Throat Chakra, a pool of energy in your throat.
The Throat Chakra governs your ability to communicate, listen, and express yourself openly and authentically. It acts as a bridge between the Heart Chakra (emotions) and the Third Eye Chakra (inner thoughts). When your Throat Chakra is open, active, and balanced, you’re surrounded with a vibrant blue aura.
If your blue aura is bright and clear, your Throat Chakra is balanced and you express yourself easily.
If your blue aura is murky or washed out, you need to unblock your Throat Chakra. You may struggle with listening, gossiping, and tuning into yourself.
The Heart and Third Eye Chakras can alter the shade of your blue aura to be more green or indigo if they’re particularly strong.
4. Blue Auras in Relationships
Blue aura people are honest and reliable partners in love and friendship.
Romantically, people with blue auras are creative with how they express affection and can be silly, playful, or cheesy (in the good way). They’re supportive, protective, and they communicate how much they love their partners whenever they can. They enjoy receiving love and affection as much as they love giving it.
In all relationships, blue aura people are loyal, stable, and dependable.
Blue aura friends are friends until the end. They’ll always be around to help whenever they’re needed.
Those with blue auras are usually family-oriented and will do anything to prioritize and take care of their loved ones.
5. Careers for Blue Auras
People with blue auras are drawn to creative and supportive careers.
They enjoy positions where they can be imaginative and expressive, and many blue aura people are drawn to vocal jobs like singing, public speaking, acting, and teaching. They also feel fulfilled by a career helping those in need like nonprofit work, counseling, nursing and medicine, volunteer work, or religious leadership.
A work environment where people are free to share their ideas honestly is a must for those with a blue aura.
Blue aura people are not usually motivated by money or wealth. However, they strive to earn enough to make themselves and their loved ones comfortable.
Tips
As your energies, emotions, and thoughts change, the color of your aura changes as well. Think of your aura as a reflection of what’s going on inside of you rather than a fixed trait.[15]
X
Research source
You can change the color of your aura through practices like meditation, a healthy diet and exercise, or surrounding yourself with the colors you want in your aura.[16]

Research source
Auras have many different layers, so it’s possible that an aura can shine with more than just one color.

Blue Spiritual Meaning: Psychology, Usage, & More
|
1. Meaning & Symbolism
1-1. Blue symbolizes tranquility, freedom, loyalty, and sadness.
Though blue comes in a seemingly infinite variety of hues, all shades of blue are generally regarded to represent feelings of peacefulness, trust, loyalty, and sadness. This incredibly complex color is especially fascinating because it evokes different and often contradictory responses from people depending on their relationship with it.
Sayings associated with the color include “True-blue friend,” “I’m feeling blue,” and “It came out of the blue!” With its meaning ranging anywhere from loyalty to sadness to freedom, and more, the color blue keeps you on your toes!
1-2. Light blue shades symbolize serenity and relaxation.
Just like all blue shades in general, light blue is representative of feelings of peace and tranquility. Think of gorgeous crystal blue waters on a tropical vacation and a brilliant, bright sky on a summer walk.
Unlike darker shades of blue often associated with sadness, light blue shades evoke more positive mood-boosting emotions like happiness.
1-3. Royal blue is associated with authority, trustworthiness, and allegiance.
Historically connected to the British royal family, its connotation to the crown has resulted in royal blue symbolizing power and strength. Not to mention, royal blue is often used in military and government official uniforms across the globe to convey these same sentiments of authority and trustworthiness.
Wear royal blue to interviews to appear confident and knowledgeable. Since this color exudes trustworthiness, you’ll be a shoo-in!
1-4. Indigo is symbolic of honor, devoutness, and spiritual wisdom.
Of all the shades of blue, indigo is the most closely associated with religion and spirituality. Used frequently in religious settings like churches and the color of the Third Eye Chakra indigo is meant to represent our deepest thoughts and spiritual wisdom from above.
During spiritual practices or meditation, try visualizing the color indigo to go deeper inwards for clarity and truth.
2. Spiritual Meaning
2-1. Blue is associated with mental health and connecting to the universe.
Blue and its diverse shade range symbolize inner peace and clarity, among many other meanings. Blue’s ability to calm the mind has led the color to be associated with spirituality and improving one’s mental health.
Loved worldwide, blue connects us to nature and evokes emotions of freedom and infinite possibility because of its connotation with the sky and sea.
2-2. People with blue auras are excellent communicators and thinkers.
An aura is a field of energy emitted from every living thing and is believed to provide insights into people’s personalities and inner struggles. People with blue auras are thought to be excellent romantic partners and are natural leaders because of their ability to be calm, honest, and communicate effectively, often using their voices to advocate for others.
Some challenges people with blue auras might face include being too assertive or aggressive in their outward expressions, like communicating with others. To combat this, people with blue auras should give others the time they need to express themselves before interrupting them with their own thoughts and opinions.
2-3. The blue throat chakra symbolizes self-expression and balance.
The throat chakra is one of 7 energy centers or chakras in the body and is responsible for your ability to communicate freely and authentically. Your throat chakra might be blocked if you struggle with self-expression, have anxious thoughts, or have difficulty saying what you really mean.
Unblock your throat chakra by reading or singing out loud to get that beautiful voice flowing, or repeat positive affirmations to remind yourself of your worth.
2-4. Blue is a therapeutic and healing color.
Blue light therapy is an incredible technology that harnesses the power of blue LED lights to speed up wound healing! Not only that, when used in place of regular colored lightbulbs, rooms lit with blue light have been shown to accelerate post-stress relaxation.
Though the benefits of using blue light far outweigh the negatives, blue light emitted from electronics like phones and computers has been shown to cause eye strain after extended periods.
3. Religious Meanings
3-1. In the bible, blue represents the Word of God and the heavens above.
In Exodus, the ground beneath God’s feet on Mount Sinai was described as being as brilliant as the sky. Blue’s association with purity and divine wisdom is further supported by the Virgin Mary, who is depicted in many paintings to be wearing blue as a sign of her connection with God.
The colors blue and white are used extensively in Northern Africa and the Middle East to protect from the evil eye, or negative energy from jealous people directed at you.
3-2. In Judaism, the color blue is described as a color of 'God’s Glory.'
Throughout numerous religious texts, the color blue is deeply intertwined with the Jewish faith. Both the Menorah and the Holy Vessels (ark, table & lamp) had to be covered with blue cloth to protect them during transportation.
Tying into the sky and sea, in Judaism, blue also represents the dichotomy between peace and turmoil.
3-3. In Hinduism, blue represents the infinite or divine.
Like other religious faiths, blue is used in Hinduism to symbolize the infinite power of the divine. One theory behind the blueness of Hindu Gods like Vishnu is that their skin tone is meant to mimic the color of the cosmos and reflect their infinite power.
4. Blue in Color Psychology
Blue has been found to increase productivity and calm the mind.
Blue has positive effects on the mind and body, such as increasing efficiency and reducing anxiety, which is why many office spaces across the globe are painted blue. Even more interesting, the color blue has also been shown to lower people’s body temperature and pulse rate just by looking at it! Who knew color had such a profound effect on the mind and body?
Funny enough, although blue is universally loved, people don’t find it too appetizing. Blue has been shown to suppress appetite. Some weight loss plans even recommend eating off of a blue plate to lower hunger rates and prevent overeating.
5. How to Use the Color Blue
5-1. Use blue LED lights to bring efficiency and mental clarity to your routine.
Blue has been proven to soothe the mind and helps you focus better on whatever you’re up to. A great way to bring the benefits of blue into your home is to install colored LED lights in your bedroom or office space. If you need a moment to ease your anxieties or get focused on a work assignment, simply switch on your lights, and you’re as good as gold– or blue, for that matter!
If you feel extra bold, paint your office space or bedroom blue for a more permanent solution.
5-2. Wear or use blue to project dependability and trustworthiness.
As we mentioned before, blue has become associated with authority and confidence and is often used in official uniforms for things like military and government positions. If you want to come across as a great candidate for a job, wearing blue might be just the thing to set you apart from the competition.
Dark blue suits, button-ups, blouses, and pencil skirts are all appropriate clothing options to wear when you go to ace your interview.

How to Blue Steel
|
1. Preparing the Metal
1-1. Remove any previous finish.
If there is any finish left on the metal, it will interfere with the bluing process. This will result in an uneven and ineffective bluing. Grind and sand the piece until you have removed any and all finishes. You should see only bare metal.
1-2. Sand out any pits.
If there are any pits in the metal, this is the time to deal with them. Use your sander or grinder to take the metal down around the pit. This will smooth the metal and give you a better finish.
1-3. Don gloves.
Gloves will not only protect your hands, but they will also protect the metal from your hands. Your hands will leave oils on the metal that interfere with the bluing process. Wear nitrile or latex gloves to keep this oil from reaching the metal.
1-4. Clean the metal.
Clean the metal with an alcohol wipe. You should then follow by cleaning it with a wax and grease remover (an organic solvent). Finally, use a soft cloth to dry the metal.
2. Cold Bluing
2-1. Apply bluing solution.
You can buy bluing solutions premixed. Dip a cotton ball into the solution and apply it to the part evenly. If you are bluing a larger piece, use a rag or brush to apply the solution.
2-2. Wipe the metal dry.
Once you have covered the piece with bluing solution, wipe it dry. Use a soft cloth, and make sure not to leave any solution in cracks or crevices. This will help ensure an even finish.
2-3. Polish the bluing.
Use a fine grit sandpaper (for example 800 grit) to sand the finish. Sand slowly and carefully so that you do not go through the finish. This will smooth out your finish and make it shine.
2-4. Apply additional coats.
Continue applying and polishing coats. When you have reached the desired color, you can polish one final time and then stop. Protect your finish by covering it in a protective oil (e.g. gun oil).
3. Hot Bluing
3-1. Scrub the piece in cold water.
Submerge the piece in cold water and scrub with steel wool or a scuff pad. This will create small scratches for the bluing solution to adhere to. This should be done after any finish has been removed and the metal has been cleaned.
3-2. Immerse the piece in salt solution.
A bluing solution is made of potassium nitrite and sodium hydroxide dissolved into water. The solution is heated to approximately 275 °F (135 °C). You should leave the part immersed for 15-30 minutes.
3-3. Rinse the piece in cold water.
When you remove the piece from the mixture, put it immediately into cold water. This will cause the metal to contract and lock in the finish. Do not scrub the metal again.
3-4. Rinse the piece in boiling water.
Boil plain water (with no salts). Dip the metal piece into the boiling water. This is the last step in the bluing process.
3-5. Apply water displacing oil.
Removing the water from the metal is important. Put some water displacing oil onto a soft cloth and rub it into the metal. It will also leave a protective layer over the metal.
4. Bluing Other Ways
4-1. Rust blue antique parts.
Rust bluing is the process of coating the metal in acid. Most commonly, nitric acid or hydrochloric acid is used. This allows the part to rust uniformly. Then, you scrub the rust off and repeat the process until the desired color is achieved. You can do this in a large container or vat that is tolerant to acid.
4-2. Fume blue for an even finish.
Fume bluing is similar to rust bluing, but it creates a more uniform rusting. The part is placed in an airtight chamber and either nitric acid or hydrochloric acid (gas) is pumped into the chamber. The gas causes a uniform bluing. Any airtight container will work, as long as it cannot be corroded by the acid.
4-3. Try niter bluing.
Niter bluing is the hottest form of bluing. In this case, you take a mixture of potassium nitrate salt and sodium hydroxide salt and melt them (700 °F (371 °C). The part will achieve a nice bluing when dipped into the solution for.
4-4. Contact a bluing expert.
There are many types of bluing professionals. If you are not up to trying it yourself, you can reach out to a bluer to learn their specialty. Ask what kinds of bluing they do and what pieces they are willing to treat (e.g. large or small).

How to Blue a Gun Barrel
|
1. Hot Bluing
1-1. Polish the gun barrel and other parts to be blued.
This is to remove any surface rust and other red oxides that would flake off during the process, as well as any pits or scratches that may exist. You can use either 000 steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper to polish the metal.
1-2. Ready the parts to be dipped in the cleaning and bluing solutions.
The chemicals that are used in the bluing process proper are caustic chemicals. Depending on which chemical you use to clean the gun metal prior to bluing it, it may be caustic as well. In addition to wearing rubber gloves when working with these chemicals, it's helpful to rig up the parts before dipping so they can be easily removed from the bluing bath.
Cut a length of soft wire longer than the gun barrel so that it is long enough to protrude from either end. After threading the wire through the barrel, bend both ends into hooks that can be grasped without touching the barrel and be suspended on hooks or a length of cord or wire outside of the chemical baths.
Smaller parts can be held in a stainless steel basket.
1-3. Dip the gun parts in a cleaning solution bath.
Parts should be immersed in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes and scrubbed while being immersed to remove any oil, dirt, or grease that could get in the way of the bluing process. You can use any of the following chemical cleaners, provided you read and follow all directions for its use, handling, and disposal:
One chemical cleaner that was reportedly discontinued contained sodium metasilicate, found in a number of commercial floor strippers. A cleaner that can be used in its place is sodium triphosphate, a component of a number of commercial detergents.
Some bluing product manufacturers recommend using naphtha, followed by washing the metal in a mild dishwashing detergent.
Some hobbyist 'bluers' use a special cleaning oil, followed by acetone (nail polish remover) to clean the metal, while others use denatured alcohol. (One such cleaning oil, a mixture of mineral and vegetable oils, alcohol, alkaline salts, and benzyl acetate, is sold commercially under the name “Ballistol.”)
1-4. Rinse off the cleaning solution in cold water.
Rinsing should take no more than 2 to 3 minutes.
If you've used dishwashing detergent to remove the cleaning chemical, you may instead need to use hot water to rinse.
1-5. Dip the gun parts in the bluing solution.
The bluing solution used in hot bluing is a caustic salt mixture of potassium nitrate and sodium hydroxide known as “Traditional Caustic Black.” This solution must be heated to a temperature of from 275 to 311 degrees F (135 to 155 degrees C), depending on the makeup of the bluing solution.
Before heating the bluing solution, stir it thoroughly to break up any clumps of bluing salt that may occur on the surface or at the bottom of the tank holding the solution.
When dipping gun barrels in bluing solution, dip them at an angle to allow any air bubbles that may form to escape. Be sure to immerse the barrel completely.
Swirl the metal basket containing smaller gun parts around in the solution to ensure the parts are completely coated with the bluing solution.
Leave the gun parts in the bluing solution from 15 to 30 minutes. Check to see when the metal has reached the desired shade of bluing and remove it from the solution at that time.
Stainless steel gun parts are immersed in a different chemical solution, this one made of a mixture of nitrates and chromates. It is heated to temperatures similar to the nitrate-hydroxide mixture.
1-6. Rinse off the bluing solution in cold water.
Swirl the parts through the cold water to help wash away the bluing salts.
1-7. Immerse the gun parts in boiling water.
This will boil off any remaining bluing solution residue. Simple parts need to be immersed for 5 to 10 minutes, while complex or ornate parts may need to be immersed for up to 30 minutes.
If the gun has any soldered parts, you can apply a chemical to these parts that will color the soldering to match the rest of the metal. Use a cotton swab for this.
1-8. Immerse the treated parts in a bath of water-displacing oil.
This will protect the finish from rust, sweat, and body oil. Leave the parts in the oil bath for 45 to 60 minutes, until they have cooled.
2. Rust Bluing
2-1. Polish the parts to be blued.
Again, steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper will work to remove any loose rust, scarring, or pitting from the gun metal.
If you plan to remove the gun's finish from the factory before bluing, some recommend using a phosphoric acid-based automotive rust remover to do so. Others use white vinegar, which contains acetic acid, for this purpose.
2-2. Clean away any dirt, oil, or grease that remains chemically.
The 19th-century gunsmiths who used this process likely did not have access to the chemicals used to clean gun metal for hot bluing, but the chemical cleaning improves the effectiveness of the bluing. You can use any of the chemicals described in the cleaning step for hot bluing and then rinse the cleaner off in the manner described in the rinsing step.
2-3. Coat the gun metal parts with a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid.
The acid solution actually encourages the metal to rust, but to do so uniformly.
Instead of coating the parts with the acid solution, you can instead place an opened container of the acid solution with the gun parts in a cabinet and seal it for a period of 12 hours. The acid evaporates from its container and condenses around the gun metal. This method is called fume bluing.
Another variation is to coat the gun metal parts with the rust bluing solution and then put them into a fume cabinet (or, in this case, a damp cabinet) for the same 12 hours. Often, a first layer is applied as a primer before coating the parts a second time and then placing them in the damp cabinet.
2-4. Immerse the gun metal parts in boiling distilled water.
This stops the rusting process by removing the acid solution.
2-5. Scrub away the red oxide rust that has formed, leaving the black oxide finish underneath.
The surface rust is normally removed with a carding brush or wheel, which features very soft and thin wire bristles.
2-6. Repeat the acid treatment, boiling, and scrubbing until you have achieved the desired level of bluing.
In some cases, the metal may develop as deep a coloring as it can, making further bluing treatments unnecessary and ineffective.
2-7. Coat the gun parts with oil.
The oil inhibits the formation of rust and protects the metal finish from dirt, sweat, body oil, and wear. Once you've applied the oil, let the parts stand overnight before assembling.
3. Cold Bluing
3-1. Polish and clean the gun metal.
You can polish the metal with steel wool or sandpaper as you would with either of the other bluing processes, but how you choose to clean the metal depends on whether you plan to blue the entire gun or touch up existing bluing.
If you plan to blue the entire gun, you may want to immerse the metal in a cleaning solution as described for the hot bluing process.
If you plan to just touch up existing bluing, you can apply cleaning oil to the places where you want to remove the old bluing and prepare the metal for cold bluing. (The cleaning oil will dissolve existing bluing if applied excessively.) Use acetone on cotton balls to remove the cleaning oil. You may have some scarring from this process that will require sanding or polishing out.
3-2. Heat the metal gently.
Although this process is called cold bluing, gently heating the gun metal before applying the bluing can help it absorb the bluing better and create a better finish. Heat the metal by leaving it out in the sun for several hours, with a heat gun or blow dryer, or in a conventional oven set to its lowest setting.
3-3. Apply the bluing solution.
Slowly apply the solution to the area to be blued as evenly as possible, using a clean applicator. Apply the solution in a single pass to cover small areas, or in sections no larger than 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) when covering large areas, then smooth it out using steel wool. This will prevent the bluing from appearing mottled.
For applying the bluing to large areas, old all-cotton T-shirts or new toothbrushes are recommended. For smaller areas, use a cotton ball, cotton swab, or flat toothpick no larger than the area to be covered.
You can soak small parts like screws or hard to cover areas in the bluing solution. If you don't have enough bluing solution to soak a recessed area, put it in a clean spray bottle and spray it liberally on the part over a glass pan or plastic tray. After the part is completely covered, you can pour the overspray back into the bottle and reuse it.
3-4. Apply the solution several more times until you have the level of bluing you want.
Apply each layer with a fresh applicator, and use a fresh piece of steel wool to smooth out each new layer.
The more layers you apply the darker the bluing will be; however, each new layer is progressively less effective than the layer before it. Seven layers should be enough, in most cases, to achieve a dark blue-black finish.
If you have spots that won't darken, start the process over by sanding the spots with 320 to 400-grit sandpaper before applying the solution again. Try to sand no more than the stubborn spots themselves.
3-5. Season the finish with gun oil once you have the level of bluing you want.
Apply a layer of gun oil every few hours, using a cotton ball to remove the previous layer before applying a new layer. (In essence, you're washing off the bluing solution with the gun oil instead of with water.)
Do not use the cleaning oil for this process, as it will take off the bluing you worked so hard to put on.
Tips
The scientific term for what bluing does is called “passivation.” Passivation occurs naturally or can be induced in other metals, such as aluminum and silicon. In the case of silicon, successful formation of an oxide layer is necessary for the proper performance of silicon in computer circuitry and in solar cells.[17]

Hot bluing is the longest-lasting of the metal coloring processes, while rust and fume bluing provide the most protection against rust formation.
Warnings
With all bluing processes, work in a well-ventilated area. The caustic salts used for hot bluing are especially noxious.
Before using any of the bluing processes described above, make sure the gun is unloaded! Also remove the gun handle or stock.[18]

Do not attempt the hot bluing process on aluminum. It will trigger a violent reaction with the caustic salts bath, which may lead to severe chemical burns. Hot bluing is also not advised for vintage shotguns or double-barreled shotguns that have been soldered or brazed with silver solder, as the bluing salts will dissolve the soldering.[19]

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Hot Bluing\\n1-1. Polish the gun barrel and other parts to be blued.\\nThis is to remove any surface rust and other red oxides that would flake off during the process, as well as any pits or scratches that may exist. You can use either 000 steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper to polish the metal.\\n1-2. Ready the parts to be dipped in the cleaning and bluing solutions.\\nThe chemicals that are used in the bluing process proper are caustic chemicals. Depending on which chemical you use to clean the gun metal prior to bluing it, it may be caustic as well. In addition to wearing rubber gloves when working with these chemicals, it's helpful to rig up the parts before dipping so they can be easily removed from the bluing bath.\\nCut a length of soft wire longer than the gun barrel so that it is long enough to protrude from either end. After threading the wire through the barrel, bend both ends into hooks that can be grasped without touching the barrel and be suspended on hooks or a length of cord or wire outside of the chemical baths.\\nSmaller parts can be held in a stainless steel basket.\\n1-3. Dip the gun parts in a cleaning solution bath.\\nParts should be immersed in the bath for 10 to 15 minutes and scrubbed while being immersed to remove any oil, dirt, or grease that could get in the way of the bluing process. You can use any of the following chemical cleaners, provided you read and follow all directions for its use, handling, and disposal:\\nOne chemical cleaner that was reportedly discontinued contained sodium metasilicate, found in a number of commercial floor strippers. A cleaner that can be used in its place is sodium triphosphate, a component of a number of commercial detergents.\\nSome bluing product manufacturers recommend using naphtha, followed by washing the metal in a mild dishwashing detergent.\\nSome hobbyist 'bluers' use a special cleaning oil, followed by acetone (nail polish remover) to clean the metal, while others use denatured alcohol. (One such cleaning oil, a mixture of mineral and vegetable oils, alcohol, alkaline salts, and benzyl acetate, is sold commercially under the name “Ballistol.”)\\n1-4. Rinse off the cleaning solution in cold water.\\nRinsing should take no more than 2 to 3 minutes.\\nIf you've used dishwashing detergent to remove the cleaning chemical, you may instead need to use hot water to rinse.\\n1-5. Dip the gun parts in the bluing solution.\\nThe bluing solution used in hot bluing is a caustic salt mixture of potassium nitrate and sodium hydroxide known as “Traditional Caustic Black.” This solution must be heated to a temperature of from 275 to 311 degrees F (135 to 155 degrees C), depending on the makeup of the bluing solution.\\nBefore heating the bluing solution, stir it thoroughly to break up any clumps of bluing salt that may occur on the surface or at the bottom of the tank holding the solution.\\nWhen dipping gun barrels in bluing solution, dip them at an angle to allow any air bubbles that may form to escape. Be sure to immerse the barrel completely.\\nSwirl the metal basket containing smaller gun parts around in the solution to ensure the parts are completely coated with the bluing solution.\\nLeave the gun parts in the bluing solution from 15 to 30 minutes. Check to see when the metal has reached the desired shade of bluing and remove it from the solution at that time.\\nStainless steel gun parts are immersed in a different chemical solution, this one made of a mixture of nitrates and chromates. It is heated to temperatures similar to the nitrate-hydroxide mixture.\\n1-6. Rinse off the bluing solution in cold water.\\nSwirl the parts through the cold water to help wash away the bluing salts.\\n1-7. Immerse the gun parts in boiling water.\\nThis will boil off any remaining bluing solution residue. Simple parts need to be immersed for 5 to 10 minutes, while complex or ornate parts may need to be immersed for up to 30 minutes.\\nIf the gun has any soldered parts, you can apply a chemical to these parts that will color the soldering to match the rest of the metal. Use a cotton swab for this.\\n1-8. Immerse the treated parts in a bath of water-displacing oil.\\nThis will protect the finish from rust, sweat, and body oil. Leave the parts in the oil bath for 45 to 60 minutes, until they have cooled.\\n2. Rust Bluing\\n2-1. Polish the parts to be blued.\\nAgain, steel wool or 600 to 1200-grit sandpaper will work to remove any loose rust, scarring, or pitting from the gun metal.\\nIf you plan to remove the gun's finish from the factory before bluing, some recommend using a phosphoric acid-based automotive rust remover to do so. Others use white vinegar, which contains acetic acid, for this purpose.\\n2-2. Clean away any dirt, oil, or grease that remains chemically.\\nThe 19th-century gunsmiths who used this process likely did not have access to the chemicals used to clean gun metal for hot bluing, but the chemical cleaning improves the effectiveness of the bluing. You can use any of the chemicals described in the cleaning step for hot bluing and then rinse the cleaner off in the manner described in the rinsing step.\\n2-3. Coat the gun metal parts with a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid.\\nThe acid solution actually encourages the metal to rust, but to do so uniformly.\\nInstead of coating the parts with the acid solution, you can instead place an opened container of the acid solution with the gun parts in a cabinet and seal it for a period of 12 hours. The acid evaporates from its container and condenses around the gun metal. This method is called fume bluing.\\nAnother variation is to coat the gun metal parts with the rust bluing solution and then put them into a fume cabinet (or, in this case, a damp cabinet) for the same 12 hours. Often, a first layer is applied as a primer before coating the parts a second time and then placing them in the damp cabinet.\\n2-4. Immerse the gun metal parts in boiling distilled water.\\nThis stops the rusting process by removing the acid solution.\\n2-5. Scrub away the red oxide rust that has formed, leaving the black oxide finish underneath.\\nThe surface rust is normally removed with a carding brush or wheel, which features very soft and thin wire bristles.\\n2-6. Repeat the acid treatment, boiling, and scrubbing until you have achieved the desired level of bluing.\\nIn some cases, the metal may develop as deep a coloring as it can, making further bluing treatments unnecessary and ineffective.\\n2-7. Coat the gun parts with oil.\\nThe oil inhibits the formation of rust and protects the metal finish from dirt, sweat, body oil, and wear. Once you've applied the oil, let the parts stand overnight before assembling.\\n3. Cold Bluing\\n3-1. Polish and clean the gun metal.\\nYou can polish the metal with steel wool or sandpaper as you would with either of the other bluing processes, but how you choose to clean the metal depends on whether you plan to blue the entire gun or touch up existing bluing.\\nIf you plan to blue the entire gun, you may want to immerse the metal in a cleaning solution as described for the hot bluing process.\\nIf you plan to just touch up existing bluing, you can apply cleaning oil to the places where you want to remove the old bluing and prepare the metal for cold bluing. (The cleaning oil will dissolve existing bluing if applied excessively.) Use acetone on cotton balls to remove the cleaning oil. You may have some scarring from this process that will require sanding or polishing out.\\n3-2. Heat the metal gently.\\nAlthough this process is called cold bluing, gently heating the gun metal before applying the bluing can help it absorb the bluing better and create a better finish. Heat the metal by leaving it out in the sun for several hours, with a heat gun or blow dryer, or in a conventional oven set to its lowest setting.\\n3-3. Apply the bluing solution.\\nSlowly apply the solution to the area to be blued as evenly as possible, using a clean applicator. Apply the solution in a single pass to cover small areas, or in sections no larger than 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) when covering large areas, then smooth it out using steel wool. This will prevent the bluing from appearing mottled. \\nFor applying the bluing to large areas, old all-cotton T-shirts or new toothbrushes are recommended. For smaller areas, use a cotton ball, cotton swab, or flat toothpick no larger than the area to be covered.\\nYou can soak small parts like screws or hard to cover areas in the bluing solution. If you don't have enough bluing solution to soak a recessed area, put it in a clean spray bottle and spray it liberally on the part over a glass pan or plastic tray. After the part is completely covered, you can pour the overspray back into the bottle and reuse it.\\n3-4. Apply the solution several more times until you have the level of bluing you want.\\nApply each layer with a fresh applicator, and use a fresh piece of steel wool to smooth out each new layer.\\nThe more layers you apply the darker the bluing will be; however, each new layer is progressively less effective than the layer before it. Seven layers should be enough, in most cases, to achieve a dark blue-black finish. \\nIf you have spots that won't darken, start the process over by sanding the spots with 320 to 400-grit sandpaper before applying the solution again. Try to sand no more than the stubborn spots themselves.\\n3-5. Season the finish with gun oil once you have the level of bluing you want.\\nApply a layer of gun oil every few hours, using a cotton ball to remove the previous layer before applying a new layer. (In essence, you're washing off the bluing solution with the gun oil instead of with water.)\\nDo not use the cleaning oil for this process, as it will take off the bluing you worked so hard to put on.\\nTips\\nThe scientific term for what bluing does is called “passivation.” Passivation occurs naturally or can be induced in other metals, such as aluminum and silicon. In the case of silicon, successful formation of an oxide layer is necessary for the proper performance of silicon in computer circuitry and in solar cells.[17]\\nX\\nResearch source\\nHot bluing is the longest-lasting of the metal coloring processes, while rust and fume bluing provide the most protection against rust formation.\\nWarnings\\nWith all bluing processes, work in a well-ventilated area.

4 Easy Ways to Transfer Photos from iPhone to Android
|
1. Using Send Anywhere
1-1. Connect the iPhone and Android to the same Wi-Fi network.
The Send Anywhere app makes sending photos over Wi-Fi so easy you'll forget you're not using Bluetooth or AirDrop. Start by making sure both devices are connected to the same wireless network.
1-2. Install Send Anywhere on both the iPhone and Android.
You can get the app from the App Store (for your iPhone) and the Play Store (on the Android).
1-3. Open the Send Anywhere app on your iPhone.
After installing the app, you'll find its white and pink arrow icon on your Home screen or in your Recently Added folder in the App Library.
The first time you launch Send Anywhere, give the app permission to access your photo library.
1-4. Tap Send.
It's at the bottom-left corner. This takes you to the Photos tab of the app, where you'll see all of the photos on your iPhone.
1-5. Tap one or more photos.
You can send just one photo if you want, or tap as many photos as you'd like to send.
As you tap photos, you'll see the total size of the transfer on the tile at the bottom of the screen.
1-6. Tap the Send button.
This displays a QR code and a 6-digit PIN.
1-7. Open the Send Anywhere app on the Android.
When the Android user opens the app, they'll need to give the app permission to access their files.
1-8. On the Android, enter the 6-digit code or scan the QR code.
The Android user can now enter the code on the iPhone's screen. Or, they can tap the tiny QR code icon, which opens their camera, and then align the QR code from the iPhone in the camera lens.
1-9. Tap Receive on the Android.
The selected photos will now transfer to the Android.
2. Using Snapdrop
2-1. Connect the iPhone and Android to the same Wi-Fi network.
Another Wi-Fi option for sending photos is Snapdrop, which also works like Bluetooth and AirDrop over Wi-Fi. Make sure both devices are signed in to the same wireless network before you begin.
2-2. Install the Snapdrop app on the Android.
You won't need to install an app on your iPhone, but the Android user should download Snapdrop from the Play Store. Then, they'll want to open the app and give it permission to access their photos and files.
2-3. On the iPhone, go to https://snapdrop.net in a web browser.
Snapdrop works on your iPhone through a web browser like Safari or Chrome. When you open the app, you'll see a random name that's assigned to your iPhone.
2-4. Open the Snapdrop app on the Android.
Once the app is open, Snapdrop will update on both devices to display the names assigned to the other person's device.
2-5. On your iPhone, tap the name or icon of the Android.
This displays a menu with several options.
2-6. Tap Photo Library.
Your iPhone's photo gallery will appear.
2-7. Tap the photo(s) you want to send.
As you tap photos, the number at the bottom of the screen will increase to show how many photos you've selected.
2-8. Tap Add at the top-right corner.
This instantly transfers the selected photos to the Android user, who should now see "File received
2-9. On the Android, tap Save.
Now the Android user will have the photos in their own photo gallery.
3. Sending via Text, Email, or Messaging App
3-1. Open your iPhone's Photos app.
Since your iPhone doesn't support sending files over Bluetooth and the Android can't accept AirDropped photos, one alternative is to send the photos over the internet. It's not quite like Bluetooth, but it's a great option if both you and the Android user can't connect to the same Wi-Fi network.
Sending photos via text, email, or other messaging app is a great option if you aren't in the same room with the Android user or don't have access to Wi-Fi.
If the photos are very high quality and you want to send a lot of them, they might be too large to attach to an email. You could also try creating a shared iCloud photo album.
If you're not connected to Wi-Fi at all, sending photos might count against your data plan.
3-2. Open the album from which you want to send photos.
You can tap the tab to browse your albums, or tap the tab and choose to view your entire camera roll.
3-3. Tap Select at the top-right corner.
This allows you to choose multiple photos instead of just one.
It's okay if you just want to send one photo, too.
3-4. Tap the photos you want to send.
As you tap photos, you'll see the number of selected photos updating at the bottom of the screen.
3-5. Tap the Sharing icon .
It's at the bottom-left corner of your screen. A list of sharing options will appear.
3-6. Choose an app to share with.
You can choose to attach the photos to a text, (or your preferred email app) to attach them to an email, or use a social media messaging app like or .
3-7. Send the message to the Android user.
You can choose their name, phone number, email address, or username from your contacts in the selected app, or enter it manually, depending on the app you're using. Once sent, the Android user will receive the photos via text, email, or messaging app.
4. Creating an iCloud Photo Album
4-1. Enable Shared Albums on your iPhone.
Another great way to share photos with an Android user is to create a shared iCloud photo album and invite the person to view the photos. The Android user doesn't need to have their own iCloud account to view your photos—you can create an iCloud photo album website that they can access in their browser without having to sign in. To enable Shared Photos:
Open the app.
Tap your Apple ID at the top.
Tap .
Tap .
Toggle the "Shared Albums" switch to On.
4-2. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
You'll find it on your Home screen or in your App Library.
4-3. Tap the Albums tab.
It's at the bottom of the screen.
4-4. Tap the + and select New Shared Album.
You'll see the plus sign at the top-left corner of the screen.
4-5. Name the album and tap Next.
You'll be prompted to invite someone to the album—but you'll ignore that for now.
4-6. Tap Create.
Instead of inviting the Android user to the album (which would fail if the Android user doesn't have iCloud), you'll skip adding an invite and turn the photos into a web-based photo album instead.
4-7. Add photos to the new album.
Tap the new album, tap the to select the photos you want to add, and then tap to add them to the album.
4-8. Tap the People tab.
It's the outline of a person at the top-right corner.
4-9. Toggle the "Public Website" switch to On .
This option makes it so anyone—even an Android user—can see the album if they have a link.
4-10. Tap Share Link.
Now you can share a direct link to the photos on the web with the Android user via message, email, or even a social media app.
Once the Android user receives the link, tapping it will open the photos in their web browser, where they can .

How to Send Files from iPhone to Android without Bluetooth
|
1. Using Send Anywhere
1-1. Install the Send Anywhere app on the Android and iPhone.
Send Anywhere lets you send photos, documents, and other files from an iPhone to an Android (and vice-versa) over Wi-Fi. It works just like using Bluetooth between Androids or AirDrop between iPhones, but relies on Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth technology.
You can get Send Anywhere for your iPhone from the App Store, and for your Android from the Play Store.
Both the iPhone and the Android will need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to transfer files.
1-2. Open Send Anywhere on the iPhone and tap Send.
You'll see this at the bottom-left corner.
The first time you open Send Anywhere, follow the on-screen instructions to give the app permission to access your files.
1-3. Send one or more files and tap Send.
Now you'll see a 6-digit code, as well as a scannable QR code.
1-4. Open Send Anywhere on the Android and tap Receive.
You'll see a field into which you can type a key, as well as a link to scan a QR code.
1-5. Enter the 6-digit code on the Android or scan the QR code.
If you want to scan the QR code, tap the tiny QR code icon to open the camera, and then position the Android over the code on the iPhone to scan.
1-6. Tap Receive on the Android.
Once verified, the selected file(s) will transfer from the iPhone to the Android.
2. Using Snapdrop
2-1. Install Snapdrop on the Android.
Snapdrop is another great Bluetooth and AirDrop alternative that makes sharing files between platforms a breeze. While you won't be installing Snapdrop on your iPhone, you'll want to make sure it's installed on the Android before you continue.
You can get Snapdrop for Android from the Play Store.
Both the iPhone and Android must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to use Snapdrop.
2-2. Go to https://snapdrop.net in your iPhone's web browser.
You can use Safari, Chrome, or any other browser to get there.
2-3. Open the Snapdrop app on the Android.
Once Snapdrop is open on both devices, you'll each see a random name assigned to the other person's device.
2-4. On the iPhone, tap the Android's icon on the Snapdrop page.
A menu will expand.
2-5. Select a type of file to share.
If you want to share photos, tap . To send other types of files from your iPhone's Files app, tap .
2-6. Select one or more files on the iPhone and tap Add.
This instantly sends the selected file(s) to the Android.
2-7. Tap Save on the Android to download the shared files.
The files are now saved to the Android.
3. Sharing Without Wi-Fi
If you're not able to connect the iPhone and Android to the same Wi-Fi network, there are other ways to share files without Bluetooth.
These alternatives won't feel as much like using Bluetooth or AirDrop as using Send Anywhere and Snapdrop, but they'll work in a pinch.
If the files you want to transfer aren't too large, you can easily attach them to an email.
Cloud services like Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud all let you upload files from your iPhone and then share them with other people by sending links to the files.
Smash is a great free option for sending larger and folders files to other platforms over the internet. Check it out at https://fromsmash.com.
If you're sending photos, open the Photos app, tap , tap the photos you want to share, and then tap the Share icon at the bottom-left. You can choose app to text the photos, to attach them to an email, or a social media app to add them to a post.
To share a video, you can upload it to YouTube, mark it as unlisted, and share a link to the Android user so they can stream it online.

How to Bluff in Poker
|
1. Choosing When to Bluff
1-1. Limit your bluffs as much as possible.
Beginners tend to think that bluffing is a bigger part of poker than it actually is. However, bluffing is actually a strategy that you should rarely use. You should be relatively sure that you can get your opponents to fold before going into a bluff.
Never bluff just because you haven’t bluffed in a while and think you should.
1-2. Bluff when the stakes aren’t too high if you are a beginner.
Although it can be tempting to bluff your way to big winnings, it’s a more effective strategy to bluff when the stakes are lower. Not only are you more likely to get your opponent to fold, you won’t lose as much if your bluff is called.
Smaller bets are more convincing to the other players.
1-3. Bluff strong players rather than weak ones.
Newbies and players who don’t have a strong understanding of poker will be more likely to continue betting on their own hand, no matter what. They tend to not take their opponents’ hands into account at all. A very weak player probably won’t fold.
A good player will try to assess the strength of your hand to determine if you are bluffing. A weak player will not notice.
1-4. Begin bluffing pre-flop.
If you are in last position and the players to your left have been fairly tight, begin to bluff. Put pressure on the other players by putting in a raise. Some will fold before the flop.
Starting to bluff pre-flop gives you the advantage of looking at immediate reactions of your opponents and leaving you plenty of time to reassess your strategy before the end of the hand.
1-5. Bluff post-flop if you are in a late or last position.
Watch your opponents’ reactions and bets in order to determine if they have a strong hand and pressure them into folding. Make sure your reaction to the flop matches the story you want your opponents to believe about the hand you have.
You have the advantage to bluff from a late position, especially if it seems like your opponents are looking for a way to get out of the hand.
1-6. Quit when it becomes clear your opponent isn’t convinced.
You should only follow through on a bluff if you are sure you can convince your opponent to fold. Otherwise, there is no use throwing more money into the pot. Get out of the hand if your opponent seems confident that they can beat you.
Remember that you can’t win a bluff if the game goes to a showdown. Don’t be embarrassed to be caught in a bluff. It’s better than losing more money by having your bluff called.
2. Convincing Your Opponents
2-1. Try to bluff one player at a time.
It is much more effective to bluff one other person. It is unlikely that you will be able to get more than 2 players to fold by bluffing, no matter how convincing you are.
The more players there are in the game, the more likely it is that one of them will call your bluff.
2-2. Build your table image throughout the game.
Create an image for yourself so that your opponents will know what kind of player you are. For example, if you build up a history of betting tightly and staying calm, simply keeping up the same actions while bluffing will help convince your opponent that you have a strong hand.
Tight bets are seen as stronger. If you are a loose player, your opponent won’t know what to expect from you and is more likely to call your bluff.
2-3. Stay calm, or give the appearance of being calm.
Signals like being defensive with your poker chips, betting too quickly, calling bets rather than raising them, and either avoiding eye contact or making intense eye contact can all show nervousness to your opponents. Try to keep quiet to avoid being overly defensive, use relaxed movements, and smile genuinely to convince the other players that you have a strong hand.
If you don't think you can act convincingly, try to be still and fly under the radar. Tells are very difficult to spot accurately, but overcorrecting nervousness will signal to other players right away that you are bluffing.
2-4. Raise the bet, but not too much.
Your bet should fit in with the betting history of the table. If you suddenly go all in on a hand that you haven’t been betting aggressively on, your opponent is more likely to think you are bluffing. Instead, raise your bets gradually over the course of the hand.
Raising the stakes earlier in the hand is more likely to scare other players away, making for a successful bluff.
2-5. Control your own tells.
Bluffing is lying, so if you know you react a certain way when you lie, try to control that reaction. One of the most common tells is freezing up and becoming quiet. Try to stay relaxed and your actions similar to how they have been the rest of the game.
Keep your movements loose and relaxed to convince your opponents.
Don’t talk too much, especially if you aren’t confident in your ability to lie convincingly.
3. Trying Different Kinds of Bluffs
3-1. Make a quick bluff for lower risk and lower payoff.
Most bluffs in poker are quick bluffs. These happen when the stakes are small- or medium-sized pots and the other players don't seem that interested in winning. In a successful quick bluff, raise the bet and everyone else will fold.
Try not to overuse quick bluffs, or your opponents will come to anticipate them from you.
3-2. Go all-in at the river.
To force a decision from the remaining players, go all in at the end of the game, at the river. This is a confident move at the end of the hand, and your opponent will be forced to either fold or go to a showdown.
Although this bold strategy has the potential to pay off, you also have to be prepared to lose everything.
3-3. Increase your odds by semi-bluffing.
Semi-bluffing refers to a situation in which you have an okay hand that could possibly improve after the flop or the turn. This is still considered bluffing because even if you are confident your hand will improve, you technically can’t win with the cards in your hand. However, the goal is still to use your confidence to cause the other players to fold.
A semi-bluff is a good strategy because there are two possible routes to winning the hand.
3-4. Use a pure bluff as a last resort.
A pure bluff would happen if you reach the end of the river with nothing in your hand and no other options besides bluffing or folding. You can place a bet and hope your opponent folds in order to win.
This should be used as a last resort because if your opponent calls your bluff, you will almost always lose.
These are also known as stone cold, total, or naked bluffs.
Tips
You don't have to show your cards if everyone else folds. You can take the pot and leave everyone to wonder what you had. This is almost always advisable, to maintain looking real if you bluffed with weak cards.
Avoid bluffing if your opponent seems to have a strong hand.
Warnings
Never play out of your bankroll. When you play higher limits with a great chance of losing all of your poker money quickly, you would be playing "out of your bankroll." If you don't have enough to bankroll "300" buy-ins for Limit Hold'em games/tournaments, then you are out of your bankroll.[17]

Research source
Notice that means you would risk less than 1/2% of you available money; so, playing remains a game not an act of desperation. Don't go for broke. Work up to where you can afford your ventures.
Never play too loose. Playing really tight might mean only playing when you have pairs, from 6s up to As, and playing ace-high hands AK down to AJ, betting only within those limits.[18]

How to Blunt a Sword or Knife
|
1. Blunting a Blade with a Sander
1-1. Consider the type of blade you're blunting.
Thinner blades are more delicate and will require gentler tools to effectively blunt them. Thicker blades, on the other hand, may be dulled with heavier tools without as much worry about damage.
Generally speaking, you should use manual techniques for long, flimsy, and thin blades. Sanding machines work best for the larger ones.
1-2. Select the sander for your blade.
An industrial belt grinder is the most effective, but a heavy belt sander can also work. You may want to consider using an orbit sander, as these are common tools and will be easier to control than a belt sander.
Regular sandpaper may tear or lose its grit easily when dulling a metal blade. Emery can be used, but silicon carbide or aluminum oxide paper is preferred in a relatively coarse grit, like 40 or 50.
1-3. Grind the blade edge at an angle for stationary sanders.
Wear gloves and a mask to prevent metal shaving from harming your hands and eyes. Be sure the belt of the sander is running away from you. This way, if you lose your grip on the blade, it isn't launched in your direction. Then:
Position the blade above the top of the running sander. Slowly turn the blade into the sanding belt, so tip of the edge of the knife descends to the belt.
Keep a firm hold of the knife, so the motion of the belt doesn't fling the knife from your hand. Allow the sander to run against the tip of the knife to blunt it.
Alternate sides of your knife, so that your blade is dulled regularly on each side. Be careful when switching sides that your clothing does not get caught in the sander.
The motion and the angle of pressure you use with your knife will feel like you are folding the tip of the edge of the blade over.
1-4. Use a vice for hand operated power sanders.
If using a handheld sander or sandpaper to dull your edge, you should clamp your knife extremely tightly in a vise. You may want to remove the knife from its casing so that you can clamp the entire blade in the vise. A loose clamp may result in the knife flying free and doing harm or damage. After the knife is secured:
If you have a directional sander, make sure the belt is running away from you. This way, if the blade comes free of the vise, there's less chance of personal injury.
Slowly lower your sander to the tip of the edge of the blade. Try to approach your blade on a slight angle.
Alternate sides of the blade. It may take some time before you notice your edge start to blunt.
Much like using a stationary sander, this motion will feel like you are folding over the tip of the edge of the blade.
1-5. File your blade to remove burrs and irregularities.
While blunting your blade, it's likely that small burrs in the metal have formed. In some cases, slight imperfections may have formed during the dulling process. Run your file back and forth over both sides of the blade to remove burrs, shavings, and smooth the finish of the blade.
If you notice visible irregularities in the metal, you may want to pay special attention to these spots with your file until the knife looks regular and smooth.
1-6. Test the sharpness of your blade and polish.
Run your finger perpendicular to the blade so it brushes against the metal left to right and right to left of the blade. Use caution when doing this. It's possible that you missed a spot while dulling the blade, and you could cut yourself if you're not careful. If the blade has dulled acceptably, use a dab of metal polish to restore the blades appearance.
If the blade still feels sharp, it may need another pass with the sander. You may need to replace your sandpaper several times during this process, especially if you have to perform this procedure several times.
2. Hand Blunting a Blade
2-1. Select your sandpaper.
Energy can work for dulling, but aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are best suited to hand blunting your blade. You'll want to choose one that has a coarse grit between 40 and 50. The coarse grade will remove the edge of your blade faster.
There may be some specially formulated sandpapers available at your local hardware store. You should inquire with staff about a coarse grit paper suited for taking the edge off metal.
2-2. Put your knife in a vise.
Holding onto your knife while trying to sand by hand could cause you to slip and cut yourself. Using a vise to hold your knife securely in place is the safest method to hand sand a blade. Be sure the knife is firmly secured, with the blade pointed upwards.
You should avoid leaving your knife in the vise unattended. Even if it only takes you a few days to blunt your blade to the point you desire, someone could trip and cut themselves on the work in progress.
2-3. Blunt the blade.
Take each end of your sandpaper in your hands and hold it over the edge of the blade. Lower the paper until you feel the blade pushing gently up against it. Using firm outward pressure and slight downward pressure, run the paper back and forth over your blade.
Be careful not to apply too much pressure to your paper. Doing do can cause the knife to cut the paper.
Depending on many factors, like the kind of metal your blade is made of, the kind of sandpaper you're using, the age of the blade and more, it may take some time before your blade becomes blunt.
2-4. Gauge the blade's dullness with your finger.
Use caution when doing this, your blade may still be sharp enough to cut. Throughout the dulling process, you should periodically check your blade by running your finger across it crosswise. Never run your finger along the edge of the blade. Once it reaches the your desired level of dullness, you hand dulling is complete.
Be sure to test the entire length of the blade. You may have applied uneven pressure to your sandpaper, which could have resulted in uneven dullness.
2-5. Polish the blade.
After you have dulled the blade sufficiently, apply a coat of metal polish to the blade. Dab the polish on a piece of cloth and apply it to the blade from top to bottom. This will restore the the appearance of your now dull blade.
Polishing your blade after dulling is especially important if you've dulled the blade for use as a household ornament.
3. Blunting a Blade Naturally
3-1. Wear the blade down with regular use.
Blades wear down naturally over time. The more you use your blade, the duller it will become. If dulling a blade is your goal but you feel uncomfortable using a sander to dull it, you should make an effort to use the tool as much as you can.
Harder and thicker objects will cause the blade to blunt most quickly. For example, you might cut kindling for fires with the sword you are trying to blunt.
3-2. Draw the blade against a harder object.
This is another blunting technique that is similar to using a whetstone. By dragging a blade against a whetstone, you sharpen it, but by dragging a blade against a hard surface, especially a coarse one, you'll cause the blade to lose its edge.
You might consider using a rock, cinderblock, or a piece of metal. This can be very effective with smaller blades, and you can even do this as you watch TV.
Be careful when performing this dulling technique. It's easy to lose your grip on the knife or to drop it and potentially hurt yourself.
3-3. Drag the blade against or cut cardboard.
Cardboard is a perfect household item you can use for blunting a blade's edge. Scrape the point of the blade's edge against cardboard repeatedly, checking the sharpness with your finger every so often to gauge your progress.
You can also use your blade to cut cardboard to receive the same dulling effect. This way, you can blunt your blade while disposing old boxes.
3-4. Polish your blade after blunting it.
Apply some polish to a cloth and coat your blade with it after you've blunted it sufficiently. This will rejuvenate the blade's appearance and make it look sharp again in spite of being dulled. Now you can display your blade without fear of it causing harm.
Tips
Although blunting a blade will take away its edge, it can still cause harm.Metal is heavy, and being hit could still cause injury, like a concussion.
Warnings
Especially when using a machine to blunt your blade, the pressure on it could cause the blade to shatter. This can cause injury.
False edging a blade can devalue it if it is a collectible item. Keep this in mind if you may want to resell it in the future.

Slowly turn the blade into the sanding belt, so tip of the edge of the knife descends to the belt.\\nKeep a firm hold of the knife, so the motion of the belt doesn't fling the knife from your hand. Allow the sander to run against the tip of the knife to blunt it.\\nAlternate sides of your knife, so that your blade is dulled regularly on each side. Be careful when switching sides that your clothing does not get caught in the sander.\\nThe motion and the angle of pressure you use with your knife will feel like you are folding the tip of the edge of the blade over.\\n1-4. Use a vice for hand operated power sanders.\\nIf using a handheld sander or sandpaper to dull your edge, you should clamp your knife extremely tightly in a vise. You may want to remove the knife from its casing so that you can clamp the entire blade in the vise. A loose clamp may result in the knife flying free and doing harm or damage. After the knife is secured:\\nIf you have a directional sander, make sure the belt is running away from you. This way, if the blade comes free of the vise, there's less chance of personal injury.\\nSlowly lower your sander to the tip of the edge of the blade. Try to approach your blade on a slight angle.\\nAlternate sides of the blade. It may take some time before you notice your edge start to blunt.\\nMuch like using a stationary sander, this motion will feel like you are folding over the tip of the edge of the blade.\\n1-5. File your blade to remove burrs and irregularities.\\nWhile blunting your blade, it's likely that small burrs in the metal have formed. In some cases, slight imperfections may have formed during the dulling process. Run your file back and forth over both sides of the blade to remove burrs, shavings, and smooth the finish of the blade.\\nIf you notice visible irregularities in the metal, you may want to pay special attention to these spots with your file until the knife looks regular and smooth.\\n1-6. Test the sharpness of your blade and polish.\\nRun your finger perpendicular to the blade so it brushes against the metal left to right and right to left of the blade. Use caution when doing this. It's possible that you missed a spot while dulling the blade, and you could cut yourself if you're not careful. If the blade has dulled acceptably, use a dab of metal polish to restore the blades appearance. \\nIf the blade still feels sharp, it may need another pass with the sander. You may need to replace your sandpaper several times during this process, especially if you have to perform this procedure several times.\\n2. Hand Blunting a Blade\\n2-1. Select your sandpaper.\\nEnergy can work for dulling, but aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are best suited to hand blunting your blade. You'll want to choose one that has a coarse grit between 40 and 50. The coarse grade will remove the edge of your blade faster.\\nThere may be some specially formulated sandpapers available at your local hardware store. You should inquire with staff about a coarse grit paper suited for taking the edge off metal.\\n2-2. Put your knife in a vise.\\nHolding onto your knife while trying to sand by hand could cause you to slip and cut yourself. Using a vise to hold your knife securely in place is the safest method to hand sand a blade. Be sure the knife is firmly secured, with the blade pointed upwards.\\nYou should avoid leaving your knife in the vise unattended. Even if it only takes you a few days to blunt your blade to the point you desire, someone could trip and cut themselves on the work in progress.\\n2-3. Blunt the blade.\\nTake each end of your sandpaper in your hands and hold it over the edge of the blade. Lower the paper until you feel the blade pushing gently up against it. Using firm outward pressure and slight downward pressure, run the paper back and forth over your blade.\\nBe careful not to apply too much pressure to your paper. Doing do can cause the knife to cut the paper.\\nDepending on many factors, like the kind of metal your blade is made of, the kind of sandpaper you're using, the age of the blade and more, it may take some time before your blade becomes blunt.\\n2-4. Gauge the blade's dullness with your finger.\\nUse caution when doing this, your blade may still be sharp enough to cut. Throughout the dulling process, you should periodically check your blade by running your finger across it crosswise. Never run your finger along the edge of the blade. Once it reaches the your desired level of dullness, you hand dulling is complete.\\nBe sure to test the entire length of the blade. You may have applied uneven pressure to your sandpaper, which could have resulted in uneven dullness.\\n2-5. Polish the blade.\\nAfter you have dulled the blade sufficiently, apply a coat of metal polish to the blade. Dab the polish on a piece of cloth and apply it to the blade from top to bottom. This will restore the the appearance of your now dull blade.\\nPolishing your blade after dulling is especially important if you've dulled the blade for use as a household ornament.\\n3. Blunting a Blade Naturally\\n3-1. Wear the blade down with regular use.\\nBlades wear down naturally over time. The more you use your blade, the duller it will become. If dulling a blade is your goal but you feel uncomfortable using a sander to dull it, you should make an effort to use the tool as much as you can.\\nHarder and thicker objects will cause the blade to blunt most quickly. For example, you might cut kindling for fires with the sword you are trying to blunt.\\n3-2. Draw the blade against a harder object.\\nThis is another blunting technique that is similar to using a whetstone. By dragging a blade against a whetstone, you sharpen it, but by dragging a blade against a hard surface, especially a coarse one, you'll cause the blade to lose its edge.\\nYou might consider using a rock, cinderblock, or a piece of metal. This can be very effective with smaller blades, and you can even do this as you watch TV.\\nBe careful when performing this dulling technique. It's easy to lose your grip on the knife or to drop it and potentially hurt yourself.\\n3-3. Drag the blade against or cut cardboard.\\nCardboard is a perfect household item you can use for blunting a blade's edge. Scrape the point of the blade's edge against cardboard repeatedly, checking the sharpness with your finger every so often to gauge your progress.\\nYou can also use your blade to cut cardboard to receive the same dulling effect. This way, you can blunt your blade while disposing old boxes.\\n3-4. Polish your blade after blunting it.\\nApply some polish to a cloth and coat your blade with it after you've blunted it sufficiently. This will rejuvenate the blade's appearance and make it look sharp again in spite of being dulled. Now you can display your blade without fear of it causing harm.\\nTips\\nAlthough blunting a blade will take away its edge, it can still cause harm.Metal is heavy, and being hit could still cause injury, like a concussion.\\nWarnings\\nEspecially when using a machine to blunt your blade, the pressure on it could cause the blade to shatter. This can cause injury.\\nFalse edging a blade can devalue it if it is a collectible item. Keep this in mind if you may want to resell it in the future.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Although most people want their knives and swords to be as sharp as possible, there are times when a blunted blade is better.

How to Blup a Horse on Howrse
|
1. Steps
1-1. Realize what BLUP (also spelled as "blup") is, and what it does.
The abbreviation "BLUP" stands for "Best Linear Unbiased Prediction". What it does is help the horse pass on GP (genetic potential) to its offspring, and the more GP the horse has, the higher skills it will have when it's fully trained. Please note that fully trained is not fully blupped. To get your horse fully blupped, you'll need your horse to gain 200 points of BLUP (from -100 to 100). In short, your horse will need to do or have the below:
Skill gains complete in top 3 skills (train, ride, and compete until there is no more gain in any of the top three skills).
To check your horses top 3 skills, look at the Training tab on your horse's page. The skills with an arrow by them are the top 3.
20 first-place wins in competitions
Age 10 years or older.
Up until age 10 years, your horse will gain a little BLUP each day. . It decreases the rate at which your horse gains BLUP, but allows you to enter more competitions and lessons in before your horse reaches 10.
1-2. Choose your horse to apply BLUP.
It's best to start with a foal, playing with it daily (to increase your foal's skills the full 60 points), and then starting the rides when the horse reaches 1 year 6 months. However, you can start the horse at any age, although the horse will be fully BLUP at an older age accordingly. It also helps to pick a high GP horse to make BLUPing it worth your time.
1-3. Register your foal in an equestrian center (EC), and make sure to choose the best one you can afford that has carrots, fertile, clean meadows, and large, clean boxes.
Without carrots, you'll have to find specific directions for foal games without carrots.
Note: Foal games no longer require carrots, and the EC's prestige no longer matters for them.
Your foal will do its last foal games at 1 year, 4 months.
1-4. Start going on rides at 1 year, 6 months.
Do the rides that will raise your horse's top three skills (if the top 3 skills are Gallop, Dressage, Jumping, do short Forest rides).
Forest rides increase the Dressage, Jumping, and Gallop skills. Mountain rides increase the Speed, Stamina, and Trot skills. You don't need to concern yourself with beach rides yet, as they appear at age 5 years.
After you're done with this, you can go on to the next step.
1-5. Try to find items on rides.
The items are Hoof Picks, Combs, and Tubs of Grease.
If your horse finds a Tub of Grease, drop everything and enter competitions until you lose the Tub of Grease.
There doesn't seem to be a way to control when you get these items. Just hope for the best.
1-6. Decide which competitions your horse will excel in.
Horses' top three skills may not coincide with the skills used in competitions. You'll want to check out which competitions work your horse's top three skills (for a pure Thoroughbred, they will excel in Gallop, Speed, and Dressage, thus being ideally suited for Gallop competitions in the Classical specialty. A Fjord pony, however, excels in Speed, Stamina, and Dressage, making them perfect for Cutting competitions in the Western specialty). Find the specialty that will allow your horse to use its skills to the best advantage, and train the two secondary skills your horse requires.
Using an Arabian as an example (Stamina, Dressage, Jumping), they are ideally suited for Classical Cross-Country competitions (which use those skills). Thus, you would train in dressage and jumping, but not stamina.
Using a Paint Horse as an example (Speed, Dressage, Gallop), they are suited to Classical Gallop races (which use those skills). You'd train in speed and dressage, but not Gallop.
You can tell which skills a competition uses by going to the competition's page.
1-7. Train your horse in its secondary skills.
These are the horse's top three skills, but you're training the secondary skills of the competition it will specialize in.
1-8. Equip your horse with the best removable (not the Poseidon's Pack) tack you have, and enter him in competitions.
You'll need your horse to be doing its most helpful competitions. These competitions will not only give you wins, but will also give your horse a skill gain up to a point. You need these skill gains to BLUP your horse.
1-9. Continue with whatever your horse hasn't finished in the steps above until they are completed.
Then you just have to wait until your horse is 10 (which it most likely is by now). Your horse should now be fully blupped!
Tips
It's a lot easier to BLUP horses if you have them from 6 months. Ideally, only buy foals at this age, or older horses who have better BLUP.
Feed your horse when it has about 80% energy, and stroke it when it has 10 or less energy.
Whenever you can, enter your horse in beginner competitions. Only horses with less than 20 victories can enter these, so you'll have more of a chance of winning.
Warnings
Make sure you send your horse to bed every night before 22:00, and with 20% or more energy, or the next day they'll have less morale and energy.
You can ignore this warning if you have Achilles' Heel.

Blurring Your Background in Zoom: Easy Steps for All Platforms
|
1. Using a PC or Mac
1-1. Open the Zoom desktop app.
You can use the Zoom desktop app for Windows, macOS, or Linux to blur your background.
Are you already on a call? If you're a panelist, you can quickly blur your background on an active call by clicking the up-arrow next to the "Stop Video" or "Start Video" button and select .
1-2. Update Zoom.
If you haven't updated the Zoom app in a while, you might not find the option to blur your background. Checking for updates only takes a few seconds, and running the update is just as fast:
Click your profile photo or initial at the top-right.
Click .
If an update is available, click . Zoom will install the update quickly and you won't have to restart the app.
1-3. Click your profile photo or initial.
You'll see it at the top-right corner of the Zoom app.
1-4. Click Settings on the menu.
This opens all of your Zoom preferences.
1-5. Click the Background & Effects tab.
You'll see it in the left panel. On some versions, this may be called instead.
1-6. Click the Virtual Backgrounds tab.
If you're not already on this tab in the right panel, click below your video preview to go there now.
If you don't see , you'll need to enable Virtual Backgrounds for your account. Once you've enabled Virtual Backgrounds and restarted the Zoom app, you'll be able to blur your background and use other cool background effects.
1-7. Click Blur.
As you'll see in your camera preview, your background will blur instantly, but your face remains clear and prominent.
Here are three simple tips for looking good on Zoom.
1-8. Join a Zoom meeting.
Now when you join your meeting, your background will be nice and fuzzy.
Your background will stay blurred for all future Zoom meetings until you return to your Virtual Backgrounds settings and select (or choose another background image).
2. Using the Zoom Mobile App
2-1. Open the Zoom app on your Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Tap the Zoom icon (the blue-and-white video camera) on your Home screen or in your app list to launch Zoom.
2-2. Join a meeting.
Unlike when using the Zoom desktop app, you'll need to wait until you're already participating in a meeting to blur your background.
If you're feeling shy about showing your surroundings, just join the meeting with your camera off. You can then blur your background before turning on your camera. To do this, toggle the "Turn Off My Video" switch to On before joining.
2-3. Tap the three-dot menu ••• .
You'll see it at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
If you don't see this option, tap the screen once first to bring up the controls.
2-4. Tap Virtual Background or Background and Filters.
You'll see one of these two options on the three-dot menu.
If you don't see an option that contains the word , you'll need to enable Virtual Backgrounds for your account through the web-based version of Zoom. Once you enable the feature and stop and restart Zoom, the option will appear.
2-5. Tap Blur.
This instantly blurs everything behind you, without affecting the clarity of your face. Now that you've blurred your background, your background will stay blurred for all future Zoom meetings.
If you joined the meeting with your camera off, tap at the bottom to join with your new blurred background.
3. Using a Chromebook
3-1. Open the Zoom web app on your Chromebook.
If you're using the new Zoom PWA (progressive web app) on your Chromebook, you can now blur your background just like when using a PC, Mac, or mobile device.
This feature is not available in the older Zoom app, which is set to be phased out in November 2022. To make sure you're using the right Zoom app:
Go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.zoom.pwa.twa on your Chromebook.
If you see an "Install" button, click it to install the PWA. You can now launch Zoom.
3-2. Join a meeting.
Similar to the Android and iPhone Zoom apps, you won't be able to blur your background until you're already connected to a meeting.
If you don't want other people to see what's behind you before you have the chance to blur your background, just join the meeting with your camera off. You can then blur your background before turning on your camera. To do this, toggle the "Turn Off My Video" switch to On before joining.
3-3. Click Settings.
It's the gear icon at the bottom of Zoom.
3-4. Click the Background tab.
This displays all of the backgrounds you can use in Zoom.
If there is no checkmark next to "Virtual Background" at the bottom of the window, click the box to turn it on now.
If you're not able to place a checkmark in the box, you'll need to enable Virtual Backgrounds by signing in to Zoom in your browser first.
3-5. Click Blur.
This instantly blurs your background, leaving your face clear and prominent in the foreground. Your background will stay blurred for all future calls until you return to the tab and select .
You can click the to close the Settings window and get back to your call.
If you joined the meeting with your camera off, click at the bottom to turn it on now.
4. Enabling Virtual Backgrounds
4-1. Sign in to Zoom on the web.
If you don't have the Virtual Backgrounds tab in Zoom, you'll need to enable Virtual Backgrounds for your account so you can use the blur feature. Just head over to https://zoom.us/signin to log in with your Zoom account.
4-2. Click Settings.
Once you're signed in, you'll see the option in the left panel. It'll be the last option in the "Personal" section.
Clicking should take you to the "Meeting" tab. But if you wind up on another tab, click at the top of the Settings page to go there now.
4-3. Scroll down to the "In Meeting (Advanced)" section.
You'll find this section near the bottom of the right panel.
4-4. Slide the "Virtual background" switch to On .
As long as this switch is blue, you'll see the Virtual Backgrounds tab in the Zoom desktop and mobile apps.
Your change won't take effect until you close and reopen the Zoom app on your computer, phone, or tablet.

How to Blur a Face in a Photo
|
1. Choosing a Blurring Service
1-1. Use an in-built image editor for a simple option.
Windows based computers often come with MS Paint, a simple image editing program. Apple computers have Paintbrush and other image manipulating programs as well.
These programs may be found in various locations on your computer, so it may be quickest to do a keyword search for “MS Paint” or “Paintbrush.”
To bring up the search function in Windows, press the ⊞ Win and S keys at the same time. Similarly, access the Apple Finder function by pressing ⌘ Cmd and F.
Other common image manipulating programs you might want to search for (some might suit you better than others) include: Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, and GIMP.
1-2. Prioritize free-to-use websites for simple blurring.
Free-to-use sites are often the quickest and easiest way of blurring a photo. Many of these don’t require registration or new software; all you need to do is visit the site, upload your picture, then use the site interface to blur the faces.
Some common free-to-use sites include PicMonkey, LunaPic, and PhotoHide. Of these three, LunaPic is unique in that it automatically detects and blurs faces the moment your picture is uploaded.
If privacy is a concern, be sure to read the site's terms of use and user agreement carefully. Some sites may record your photos after you upload them.
1-3. Expect more options and higher quality with pay-to-use services.
A feature common to pay-to-use sites is auto-pixelation, which automatically blurs faces. This can be a real time saver if you’ll have to blur faces frequently.
You might also find pay-to-use services offer a wider range of pixelation options, like light or moderate blurring, which can be used for stylistic effect.
Lighter blurring will be less obtrusive than heavy blurring, which can make a blurred image more prominent.
The face detection processes of most pay-to-use services are usually higher quality than free to use services.
1-4. Search for face blurring apps in the app store.
There are quite a few apps out there for blurring your face and protecting your identity in pics. Some may suit your needs better than others. For example, some apps offer fun filters along with the classic pixelated blurring effect.
Try finding apps by searching for things like, “face blurring apps,” “face pixelating apps,” “apps to blur faces,” and so on.
Check out user comments about the app. If it seems like the app team does a good job of responding to customer feedback, it’s usually a good sign.
Common Android blurring apps include ObscuraCam, Android Hide Face, and Pixlr. iOS blurring apps that are popular include Touch Blur, Photo Editor, and TADAA.
1-5. Read the privacy agreement before choosing a service.
If you’re trying to protect your privacy with blurring, it’s unlikely you’ll want sites saving unblurred copies. Read the privacy agreement and user information carefully before using a service. If you have any doubts, find another service.
If you’re uncertain whether a site is safe or not, do a general keyword search online for reviews about it. For example, you might search for “reviews for blurmyface.com.”
2. Obscuring Faces with an Image Editor
2-1. Open the photo with your photo editor.
In Windows, right click the photo you want to blur. Right clicking will open a drop-down menu. Hover your cursor over the “Open with” option in the drop-down menu, and select MS Paint, Photoshop, or “Choose another app.”
If you have to select “Choose another app,” a pop-up window will open a directory of programs. You’ll have to find your image editor in this directory. Try looking in the “Windows Accessories” folder.
Hold Ctrl and click the image you want to blur to open a drop-down menu where you’ll find “Open with.” Select Paintbrush, another program, or choose “Other…” to select an editor from your computer program directory.
2-2. Find the blur tool.
Even basic image editors usually have a blur tool. In some cases, this may be a warping wand that distorts color, effectively hiding identity similarly to blurring. Use the help feature of your image editor to search for “blur,” “blurring,” or “blur tool.”
Most programs have a visible “Help” tab somewhere at the top of the program window. “Help” is often the farthest right option in the standard status bar tabs (like “File,” “Edit,” “View,” “Options,” etc.).
2-3. Blur the faces in the photo.
If your program uses a blurring tool, in most cases you can apply the blurring effect by clicking and dragging your cursor over the faces you wish to hide. Some editors may create a blurred circle that overlays faces in the picture. These circles are often drawn by clicking and dragging.
2-4. Save the photo.
Once you’re satisfied that the identities in your picture are sufficiently blurred, save the picture. Now it’s ready to be posted wherever you like, without it compromising your privacy.

How to Blur the Background of a Photograph
|
1. Blurring the Background by Adjusting Aperture
1-1. Set your DSLR camera to the aperture setting.
You will find a circular dial, usually on the top of your camera, that has several shooting options such as “Auto”. Turn the dial so that the aperture priority setting is selected.
The aperture setting is identified by an “A” and sometimes an “Av” on certain Canon models.
Aperture is the size of the hole in the lens through which light travels, similar to the pupil of an eye.
Aperture is measured in f-numbers (Ex: f/1.4), known as “f-stops”. And while it may sound confusing, the larger the f-stop, the smaller the f-stop. So a f/1.4 will have a larger aperture (hole) than a f/2. A smaller f-stop will create a larger depth of field and be able to separate the foreground and background better, blurring the background.
Use the lowest F-stop number that your camera allows.
1-2. Create distance between the camera, subject, and background.
To better blur the background of your photograph you want to create enough distance between the camera and the subject so that you can zoom on your camera to better focus it on your foreground.
In addition, the further your subject is from the background, the easier it will be to get a nice blurred look. Depending on your lens, play with this distance having your subject stand 5, 10, or 15 feet away from the background.
1-3. Fill the frame with the subject in a medium shot.
This is a shot that has your subject in the frame from about the waist up. For a great portrait photo you may then want to get a bit closer, or zoom on your camera so you can really focus on the shoulders and head. But starting further out can help you adjust at the beginning.
Focus directly on the eyes.
Note: The nose, ears and hair will be in varying degrees of focus. At smaller apertures, the background of a shot will be in focus. At larger apertures, the background will be blurred.
1-4. Zoom in.
Narrow the depth of field further by zooming in. To make as shallow a depth of field as possible, use a long/telephoto lens set on maximum zoom. Stand as close to the subject as possible.
If you have a very long lens, this might still be quite far away from your subject.
If you only have the lens your camera came with, you may have to stand closer to the subject. You should still try and get a fair amount of zoom on your camera, and in general, you will be closer to your subject than your subject is from the background.
Play around with zoom and snap a couple of test photos to see if you’re getting close to the desired results.
1-5. Pan with a moving target.
If the subject is moving, move your camera to follow the subject and keep it sharp while blurring the background.
Try different shutter speeds to balance the background blur you want against the subject blur you don't want.
Try a 1/125 second shutter speed to begin.
Keep your body and the camera as steady as possible. Track the subject through the viewfinder and ensure your camera is focusing properly on the subject. Take the photo with confidence.
This technique uses the blurred background to highlight the motion of the subject, whereas background blurred solely through a shallow depth of field is used to make the subject stand out from its surroundings.
2. Using your Camera’s Other Settings
2-1. Set your camera to the auto setting and use portrait mode.
If you don’t have a particularly advanced camera you can still blur the background of a photograph by using your camera’s other settings like portrait mode which will adjust the camera automatically to help you with the desired effect.
The portrait mode is found on the dial usually under the “P” or the little image of a woman. Switch your dial to Portrait mode to have your camera automatically adjust your aperture and shutter speed.
2-2. Adjust your auto focus settings in the menu.
You can hit the “Menu” button on your camera and navigate to the focus selection. In a lot of cameras you will see several boxes with the center one filled in.
Move your cursor to fill in one of the other boxes that will be closest to where your subject’s eyes are.
This will allow the camera to automatically focus the most on your selected area, blurring the rest out the further away from the focus area an object is.
2-3. Place your subject as far away from the background as possible.
You can manually narrow your depth of field if you don’t have a lens that will easily do it for you by creating a large distance between the foreground and background.
If you are taking a photo of your subject in front of say, a wall, then try and move them 10 or so feet away from the wall. With your portrait mode set, your camera should be able to blur the background on its own.
2-4. Zoom in as far as you can.
If you are using a kit lens (the default lens that comes with your camera) then you want to zoom to get a longer focal length, or the distance between the lens and the subject.
You’ll have to play with distance here depending on how far your lens can zoom. You want to be able to zoom in as far as possible while still getting both your subject and some background in the shot.
This method will mean that there will be less background in your photo, but it will help you get the desired effect. Your subject will remain the same and only the background will shrink if you zoom correctly. But it will help to blur the background.
3. Blurring in Photoshop
3-1. Employ Photoshop’s Blur tool
Select the raindrop looking icon from the toolbar, this is the blur tool.
At the top of your screen will see options for brush size, and strength of your stroke. You can adjust these to your liking. For a portrait style photo with a fair amount of background you can select a larger brush size.
Hold down your mouse and move it over the background of your photo to blur it.
Keep in mind that this technique does not create true depth - it blurs everything in the background uniformly rather than independently based on distance from the lens. An image blurred "in camera" collects visual information from a scene that a Photoshop blurred image can never obtain because the data is not there in a Photoshop file. The "in camera" image is a much truer and organic image/record.
3-2. Blur using layers.
For this option you’ll want to create a duplicate layer going to Layers > Duplicate layers. With your duplicate layer, click Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur.
Now your entire image will be blurred out. But because you have the original image as a layer under this one, you can use the erase tool to erase the blur over the part of your photo you want in focus.
Once you have done that, go to Layer > Flatten Image. This will flatten the two layers into one, with your blurred background.
3-3. Blur the background of your photograph by making your image a “Smart Object”.
This will allow you to use an iris blur to keep your subject in focus while blurring the background.
In your Layers panel right-click on your background layer, the image, and select “Convert to Smart Object”.
From your top menu click Filter > Blur Gallery > Iris Blur. Now drag your iris over your subject. You can adjust the size and shape of the iris by clicking and dragging on the different boxes you see. You can also hold shift while you drag to convert the rectangular iris into a circle, adjusting it to the proper size.
3-4. Use the Quick Selection tool to blur a background.
Find the Quick Selection tool in your toolbar, it looks like a paintbrush with a dashed oval shape next to it.
Hold and drag it around your subject that you want to remain in focus. This tool uses distinctive edges to select your image, and is much easier to use if you were able to blur your background on your camera even slightly when taking your photo.
Use the Refine Edge button in the “Options” bar to further refine your selection to make sure everything you want is selected.
From your top bar menu go to Select > Inverse. Now everything that is not your subject will be selected. From here you want to go to Filter > Gaussian Blur. Simply adjust the Radius slider to your preferred blur setting and click “OK”.
3-5. If you are using an updated version of Photoshop, try using the "smart blur" option.
This filter evaluates the range of pixels in the background and foreground, and gives you more control over the image. The filter is also adjustable which enables the photographer to manipulate the photo even more.
Tips
Depending on the camera you are using, and the lenses available to you, you will have to play around with the physical space you have between your camera, the subject, and the background.
You can employ all of these methods together to get the best desired result.
This effect is caused by a shallow depth of field. Other than imaging size and wide aperture (f/1.8-2.8), there are other factors that affect the depth of field, including (a) focal length of the lens, and (b) the distance from your subject.

How to Board Up a Window with Screws or Clips
|
1. Securing Plywood with Screws (Wood/Vinyl Siding)
1-1. Measure the window’s height and width.
Use a tape measure to determine the height and width of the window, including the window’s framing (but not the surrounding trim or structural framing). If the window has an extended bottom sill that protrudes out further than the rest of the window, make your height measurement from the top of the sill.
Write down your measurements—they’re easy to forget, especially if you’re boarding up multiple windows!
1-2. Cut the plywood 8 in (20 cm) larger than your measurement.
Transfer your height and width measurements to a 4 by 8 ft (1.2 by 2.4 m) sheet of ⁄8 in (16 mm) thick exterior-grade plywood. Then add 8 in (20 cm) to both the height and width measurements and mark out your cutting lines. Cut the plywood with a circular saw.
For example, if your window measures 48 inches (120 cm) tall and 24 inches (61 cm) wide, then your piece of plywood should be 56 inches (140 cm) tall and 32 inches (81 cm) wide.
, add only 4 inches (10 cm) to the height before cutting the plywood. The bottom of the sheet of plywood will rest on the sill.
If you don’t have a circular saw, take your measurements to the home improvement store when you buy the plywood and ask an employee to cut it to size for you.
1-3. Attach 2 sheets of plywood together if you need a bigger piece.
If your window is too big for one sheet of plywood, cut 2 separate sheets that are each half the size you need. Lay them edge-to-edge on a flat surface so they equal the shape and size you need, then cut a board of 2 by 4 in (5.1 by 10.2 cm) lumber to the length of the connecting edge of the plywood sheets. Use a power drill to make pilot holes in the board and drive 2.25 in (5.7 cm) screws through the board and into the plywood.
Drive at least 6 screws (2 at the top of the bracing, 2 in the middle, and 2 at the bottom) through the board and into the plywood—8, 10, or even 12 screws is that much better.
1-4. Locate the framing studs surrounding the window.
A wood-framed house will always have framing studs against each side of a window opening, and should also have sturdy framing right above and below the opening. If you have wood siding, look for rows of nail holes to confirm the location of the studs to the sides. If you have vinyl siding, use a stud finder or estimate the location of the studs and make one or more small, discreet pilot holes with your drill to confirm there’s solid wood framing underneath.
Don’t rely just on the exterior window trim to hold your plywood in place—it’s important that your screws end up in sturdy structural framing.
1-5. Drill holes in the corners of the plywood that match the studs or framing.
Transfer the measurements of the stud locations to your plywood sheet, then drill pilot holes in each of the 4 corners based on the stud locations. The pilot holes should be equal or just slightly greater in diameter than the size of the screws you’ll be using.
Plan to use ⁄4 in (6.4 mm) diameter, 2.25 in (5.7 cm) long lag screws if the window is less than 4 by 3 ft (1.22 by 0.91 m) in size, and ⁄8 in (9.5 mm) diameter, 3 in (7.6 cm) long lag screws if it’s larger than that.
Ideally, these pilot holes should be at least 2 in (5.1 cm) in from all sides of the plywood sheet. But you can get by with slightly less than this if that’s what the stud locations dictate.
1-6. Drill pilot holes around the plywood with 12 in (30 cm) spacing.
Start at one of the corner pilot holes and mark out a series of perimeter pilot hole locations that are no more than 12 in (30 cm) apart. Drill out these pilot holes with the same diameter drill bit you used for the corner holes.
that the installed plywood sheet will rest on, you don’t need to drill pilot holes along the bottom of the sheet.
1-7. Have a friend hold the panel as you screw it into place over the window.
While your pal holds the plywood sheet firmly in place, drill through each of the pilot holes on the sheet and make corresponding pilot holes into the home’s framing—this time use a drill bit that’s slightly smaller in diameter than the screws you’ll be using. As your friend continues to hold the panel, drive a screw into each of the 4 corner pilot holes. At this point your buddy can let go and you can drive screws into the remaining pilot holes.
Unless the window has an extended lower sill that allows you to rest the plywood on it while you work, it’s virtually impossible to do this part of the job alone. So make sure you have that second set of hands to help!
While it’s not absolutely necessary, consider slipping metal washers onto each screw to ensure that the screw heads don’t sink too deeply into the plywood and weaken it.
2. Securing Plywood with Clips (Masonry/Stucco)
2-1. Record the height and width of the window you’re boarding up.
Use a tape measure to determine the height and width of the window from the edges of the window frame, right up against the surrounding exterior wood framing, masonry, or stucco. Write the measurements down so you don’t lose track of them.
Window clips only work with windows that are in-set by at least 2.5 in (6.4 cm) and surrounded by a sturdy material like masonry, stucco, or solid wood (though the clips may cause surface damage to the wood). The clips won’t work with windows that are flush (even) with the house exterior or if your home has vinyl or thin aluminum framing around the window.
Take accurate measurements so that the cut plywood board will fit snugly into the window opening.
2-2. Cut a plywood sheet so it’s ⁄4 in (0.64 cm) less than your measurements.
Mark out the dimensions of the window, minus ⁄4 in (0.64 cm) for both the height and width, on a 4 by 8 ft (1.2 by 2.4 m) sheet of ⁄8 in (16 mm) thick exterior-grade Plywood. Use a circular saw to cut the plywood to size, working carefully so that the measurements of the cut sheet are just slightly smaller than the dimensions of the window.
For example, if your window frame measures 48.25 inches (122.6 cm) tall and 24.5 inches (62 cm) wide, then your cut piece of plywood should be 48 inches (120 cm) tall and 24.25 inches (61.6 cm) wide.
Have your plywood cut to size for you at a home improvement store if you don’t have a circular saw.
2-3. Join 2 plywood sheets together if the window opening is too large.
For a window opening that’s bigger than a standard sheet of plywood, cut 2 separate sheets so they’re each half the size of the opening. Put them side-by-side and lay a 2 by 4 in (5.1 by 10.2 cm) board, cut to length, over the seam. Use your power drill to make at least 6 pilot holes through the board—at the top, middle, and bottom, if not more in between—and into the plywood. Drive 2.25 in (5.7 cm) screws through the bracing and into the plywood to join everything together.
2-4. Hammer clips onto the sides of the plywood with 24 in (61 cm) spacing.
Press on a clip near the top left corner of the plywood sheet, positioned so the tension legs are facing toward you. Put another clip near the bottom left corner, then space out a series of clips between them—keep the spacing at or below 24 in (61 cm). Tap the clips lightly with a hammer until they are securely in place. Repeat the process on the right side.
You may be able to simply push the clips into place. However, using a hammer will ensure that they are as securely attached to the plywood as possible.
Don’t worry about putting clips along the top or bottom. The clips on the side will be sufficient to hold the plywood in place.
2-5. Press the plywood sheet into the window frame to secure it in place.
Line up the sheet over the window opening, then slowly but firmly press it into the opening until the “teeth” on the tension legs of the window clips securely grip the surrounding material (brick, concrete, stone, etc.). Keep pressing until the sheet won’t budge any further.
Strong winds generate lift on the plywood that can cause it to be pulled out of the window frame. If the window clips are securely gripping the sides of the frame, they will keep the plywood in place.
When you’re ready to remove the plywood, simply push down on the board and pull up on the window clips on 1 side to remove it.
Tips
If you have a masonry home and don’t have (or don’t want to use) window clips, you can instead use barrel bolts. Attach the bolts to the perimeter of the cut-to-size plywood at 12–18 in (30–46 cm) intervals, then push the plywood into place inside the window frame. Mark where the barrel bolts meet the masonry, then drill holes into the masonry to accept the extended barrel bolts.[15]

If you have to board up your windows from the inside (e.g., if the storm is already raging outside), place security window film over the glass and tape it down. This isn’t the best way to protect your windows and home, but it will help prevent shattered glass (and water) from getting in.
Label your cut plywood sheets (e.g., “small kitchen window,” “dining room window,” etc.) with permanent marker or paint so you can easily reuse them.
Warnings
If you’re worried that you won’t be able to securely install the plywood over your windows before a big storm hits, hire a professional to do it for you. Although this is more expensive, you’ll want your house to be adequately protected for the storm.

How to Board a Plane
|
1. Navigating the Airport
1-1. Print your boarding pass and check your luggage.
Although many airlines allow you to check in and print your boarding pass online (if you’re not checking luggage), you can also choose to do so in person at the airport. Enter the airport in the section of your airline carrier, and locate their counter. When you get to the front desk, simply tell them your name and give them ID, and they should automatically print your boarding pass and ask about checked luggage.
If you have multiple flights due to layovers, ask the attendant to print your boarding passes for all flights. Some do this automatically, but it is good to ask if they don’t.
Checked luggage must typically weigh less than 50lbs and costs about $25 to start. This varies from airline to airline though, so check your specific airline's requirements online.
If you don’t want to worry about checking bags, you are allowed one carry on item and one personal item - one that goes under the seat in front of you, and one stored in the overhead bins above your seat. Ask the gate attendant if your bags are small enough to bring with you as carry-ons.
If you print your boarding pass online and are not checking luggage, you can bypass stopping by the airlines counter.
1-2. Head to security.
If you have your boarding pass in hand and your carry-on luggage prepared, you can head to security. Have both your boarding pass out and a form of ID - either your driver’s license or your passport (it must be your passport if you’re heading out of the country) - readily available. A TSA agent will check your boarding pass to your ID, and then you must successfully pass through the security check. All of your belongings will need to be placed in bins and sent through an x-ray machine while you are being checked over in a separate machine that is able to scan the body or being examined by a wand scanner (for those with known medical devices).
Airports are very picky about security, but they will also be very vocal about it. Check for signs about what to do in order to successfully pass through security, and if you’re still not sure ask someone for help.
Liquids and laptops must be in their own bins separate from other items.
Any items (including gum and unused gum) that are found in your pockets must be placed in the bins to be scanned by the x-ray. Also, all airports will want you to place any metal objects in the bins as well (and that includes metal earrings and jewelry).
Some security checkpoints require you to remove your belt, shoes and jackets; look for signs to see if your airport does as well. Some airports may ask you to remove your socks as well, but this varies.
A TSA agent will guide you through the process if there happens to be an issue with something in your luggage or on yourself.
If you have TSA Precheck printed on your boarding pass, visit the TSA PreCheck security line instead.
1-3. Find your gate/terminal.
Get your bags re-packed and put your shoes back on so that you can go wait for your plane in the correct terminal! Check your boarding pass for your terminal (typically a letter) and your gate (a number). There should be plenty of signs directing you to this area, but if you can’t seem to locate your gate and terminal, simply ask an airport or airline employee for help.
If your boarding pass does not have the terminal number (and very few don't these days), find a monitor with the flight schedules and check that instead.
1-4. Hang out and wait for your plane.
It’s always good to arrive at the airport early so that you have time before boarding the plane, just in case you need it. Run to the bathroom, grab something to eat, or use your last few minutes of freedom to connect to the airport Wi-Fi. Boarding the plane typically begins half an hour before takeoff, so you may have plenty of time to kill.
Be careful not to stray too far from your gate so that you don’t miss an important announcement about your flight or early boarding opportunities.
If you want, you can speak to a flight attendant at the counter of your gate about changing your seats. This is the only opportunity you have to grab a different seat or to upgrade to business or first class.
2. Boarding the Plane
2-1. Wait for the announcement to board.
About half an hour prior to takeoff, the gate attendant will announce the boarding time. Boarding is done in sections, either by group/sections (designated with a letter) or by rows/seats. Check your boarding pass to see if you belong to a group, and if not, wait for your row or a section of rows to be called.
First class always boards the plane first, followed by business class and people with disabilities or infants.
Although it is not always the case, it may be beneficial to try to snag a place in line early on so that there is still room in the overhead bins for your luggage. Otherwise, if storage space runs out your bags will have to be checked.
2-2. Get your boarding pass checked.
After waiting in line for boarding, there will be a gate attendant next to the entrance waiting to check your boarding pass. If you are flying nationally, hand your boarding pass to the gate attendant who will scan your boarding pass in (by placing it down on the terminal), but you will not need your ID out at this point. If you are flying internationally, you will need to show your passport again at this point. Keep your boarding pass out after having it checked, as you may need to show it to an additional flight attendant on the plane.
2-3. Walk down the hallway that leads up to your plane.
While most hallways are short, there are some gates who may have line hallways much longer and curvier than others.
2-4. Enter the aircraft.
There is typically a buildup of passengers after the boarding pass check, so you may have to wait in line again before boarding the plane. Check your seat to make sure you are headed in the right direction, and keep a lookout for your row number. If you need help finding your seat, ask others around which seats are for which row and later which seat letter is for which seat (there is no "one size fits all" for explanations here). Most flight attendants are busy getting their supplies ready for your flight. If you still require more help finding your seat, step into an open seat near the row and once the flight attendant comes around to check on your seat belt, you can ask them then.)
2-5. Stow your carry-on items.
When you have located your seat, place your smaller bag under your chair, and look for available space in the overhead bins for your larger carry-on. This isn’t always the easiest task, so turn to a flight attendant for assistance in searching or placing your bag if necessary. When you’re finally able to get in your seat, place your smaller carry-on under the seat in front of you.
2-6. Get settled in.
You’re all done! Now it’s time for you to sit back and relax while you are carried away to your destination in luxury. During the flight, you will sometimes be offered a free drink and food (depending on the carrier and length of the flight). If needed, there are restrooms in the front and back of the plane. Any other questions can be directed towards flight attendants.

How to Board the Plane Train at Hartsfield‐Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
|
1. Between Gates
1-1. Disembark from your plane (if you arrived from a previous flight into this airport).
Don't go too far.
1-2. Look at your gate's terminal letter and number assignment.
Dependent on where you flew into, you could be in gates T, A, B, C, D, E (from west to east) or a separate International Terminal (that there is a walkway to only). Your gate will also have a number.
Some airlines' mobile apps will even tell you which gate you arrived at; however, it's just as easy to look up to tell which terminal building you are in. Step to the side or sit down if needed to figure it out, or ask an airline attendant.
1-3. Figure out your next gate ahead of time if you are planning to take a connector flight.
Many times before the Plane Train walkway, you can find the current timetable and gates information on the Departure screens. These are updated frequently and may be more up-to-date than your ticket or boarding pass.
1-4. Walk quickly (but don't run) throughout the terminal.
Each terminal's Plane Train is at a point down a walkway midway between the one end of the terminal and the other, and you'll want to walk towards it.
1-5. Arrive at the walkway between the directions of trains.
Dependent on which terminal you're in, the nearby signs will tell you which gates are in the Plane Train direction you are near; on the other side of the Plane Train, the concourses will be going the opposite direction.
There is a place next to the escalators (where there will be either a small shop or a major-known restaurant) where some people check their flight data.
If you need to use an elevator, look for signs sending you to the elevator; you'll be able to cross over around the bend to send you on the right way to your terminal. The signs may be overhead or around the opposite escalator, so look accordingly.
1-6. Get down using the escalator.
Keep to one side if people are trying to walk down faster than you.
1-7. Walk down towards the double-doors that will take you to the Plane Train.
Plane Trains come every minute or two, so if it's not right there, there will be one on its way soon.
1-8. Board the Plane Train.
Walk quickly into the train, but don't run, for safety reasons.
1-9. Watch out for people inside the train.
Don't push or barge into people with or without your carry-on baggage. Move carefully around people as you make your way to a safe spot.
1-10. Don't worry about making your way to seats.
There are no physical seats on these trains. Hang onto the hanger bars as the train moves. Although the train moves forward, it will feel like you are moving sideways from terminal-to-terminal.
1-11. Get off at the destination terminal.
Don't try to exit the train with the mob of people if people try to barge through or around you. Walk to a place inside the train where there are few to no people making their way in.
When you get to the terminal, head down the hallways and up the escalators to find your gate.
2. From the Main Terminal
2-1. Get to know where your gate is when you arrive at the airport.
If you are in the T terminal, you need not worry about taking the Plane Train, as you'll have arrived in the center court of this Terminal building. For others, you'll need to look up at the boards in the Atrium portion as you enter to see for gate assignments. Although your ticket gives you some of the information, the most-up-to-date data is available on these screens or your airline's app.
2-2. Get through the Security Checkpoints.
You'll need to pass through both the main and north/south checkpoints to be able to go any further. If your flight takes off from the T terminal, you don't have to walk too far past the security checkpoint, as your terminal is on either side of the main checkpoint. It's best to walk through either the North or South security checkpoints to get to your gate, and you won't have to travel on the Plane Train at all.
2-3. Take the escalators or elevators down.
Stand aside if people are trying to rush by.
If you need to use an elevator, look for signs sending you to the elevator. The signs may be overhead or around the opposite escalator, so look accordingly.
2-4. Walk down towards the double-doors that will take you to the Plane Train.
Plane Trains come every minute or two, so if it's not right there, it will arrive soon.
2-5. Board the Plane Train.
Walk quickly into the train, but don't run - even if there aren't any people on the train.
2-6. Watch out for people inside the train.
Don't push or barge into people; slowly make your way to a safe spot.
2-7. Don't worry about making your way to seats.
There are no physical seats on these trains. Hang onto the hanger bars as the train moves. Although the train moves forward, it will feel like you are moving sideways from terminal-to-terminal.
2-8. Get off at the destination terminal.
Don't try to exit the train with the mob of people if people try to barge through or around you. Move carefully around people and out of the train.
When you arrive at your terminal, head down the hallways and up the escalators to find your gate.
Tips
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the corporate hub of Delta Airlines. It is also Atlanta's maintenance facility. If you didn't see either the "Fly Delta Jets," "Fly Delta Air" or maintenance bays coming into this airport, you will see them going out (if you sit on the same side of the aircraft coming and going from both ways.) Their corporate address is 1030 Delta Blvd, Atlanta, Georgia, which when mapped is just to the north side of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport[4]

At this airport, they call their terminals concourses though they really are on one level[5]

. Don't be discouraged because they use this term and think each terminal is on a different level.
Much like other airports, this airport serves more than just Delta airport. However, their main company they proudly serve is Delta, and it will seem like there are Delta terminals everywhere you look.
Warnings
When you walk the hallways here, the hallways may seem like they are endless. Hang in there!
Watch your luggage as you make your way through the maze of hallways to get to the Plane Train. It's awfully busy at this airport.

How to Boardslide on a Skateboard
|
1. Choosing the Ledge
1-1. Start practicing on a parking block to get the hang of the trick.
If you are a beginner skater, it is helpful to start on a concrete block found in parking lots. Find an empty public parking lot, and practice your boardslide here at first. Parking blocks are short, low rails that are easy to learn the basics with.
The parking blocks are smooth overall, which reduces your risk of injury.
Using these help build your courage. You won’t be scared of falling and can focus on how to balance your body with the skateboard.
Make sure you are not trespassing on private property! Look for any "Private property" signs or signs saying "No skateboarding" to ensure you are able to skate in your spot.
1-2. Practice on a rail under 6 in (15 cm) after you nail the basics.
After you are comfortable with the boardslide technique, you can try the move on just about any smooth straight surface low to the ground. Do this when you feel comfortable balancing the skateboard.
For example, move onto low railings or ledges in parks or parking lots.
Always skate in places where it is legal and permitted.
1-3. Move onto more advanced rails when you can easily boardslide.
When you feel like you can do a boardslide in your sleep, test your skills by sliding down staircase railings or high-up ledges. Do this when you feel like a pro!
Don’t rush yourself. If you try a high ledge before you are ready, you can get seriously hurt.
Consider purchasing your own rail so you can easily boardslide whenever you want.
2. Nailing the Trick
2-1. Apply wax to the ledge so you can slide easier.
Use specialty skateboard wax for best results. Rub a small amount over the entire surface of the ledge. Rub the block of wax directly onto the surface to cover the top, sides, and corners. If the board sticks to the surface, apply more wax as needed.
You can purchase wax at a skateboard shop or online.
Without wax, it may be hard to slide across the surface.
Do not apply wax to private property, or you may be charged with vandalism.
2-2. Roll toward the ledge at a comfortable speed.
For best results, position your skateboard at a 45-degree angle as you ride closer. The slight angle helps you easily get onto the ledge. Skate at a moderate speed that feels comfortable for you.
Avoid going too fast when you start. If you have too much speed, it may be hard to adjust your footing.
2-3. Do an ollie to get onto the ledge.
Performing the ollie trick helps you get onto the ledge. Put 1 foot (0.30 m) toward the tail of the skateboard, and place your other foot directly behind the front hardware. Bend your knees to crouch down, and jump upward with moderate force. The board should jump up with you. While you are in the air, move your board so it is over top of the ledge, and kick down on your back foot once you clear the ledge
Adjust your foot placement based on what is comfortable for you. It may feel better to move your front foot back a few inches.
With the ollie, you can easily get onto the ledge. This trick also is a great way to practice balancing on your board.
2-4. Position your board so the trucks are on either side of the ledge.
As you ollie, put force onto the board after the wheels are clear of the ledge. Aim to land onto the board about 10–16 in (25–41 cm) from the end. When you land, position your back foot on the tail of the board and your front partly on the nose. Distribute your body weight evenly on both sides of the board to balance on the middle of the rail.
Your board should be centered on the ledge after you ollie.
2-5. Slide across the ledge until you are close to the end.
Let the board glide across your ledge. As you do this, bend your knees to adjust your weight, and lean back slightly to keep your balance. Get ready to get off the ledge when you are about 12–16 in (30–41 cm) from the end.
The motion of sliding may feel strange and foreign at first, but as you practice it will become more natural.
2-6. Push the nose of your skateboard forward to dismount the rail.
When you are about 12–16 in (30–41 cm) from the end of the rail, adjust your skateboard so it faces forward. To do this, swing your hips to face forward, and push down on the front of the board. Land with both feet on the board for a smooth finish.
3. Preventing Injuries
3-1. Bend your knees as you get onto and off of the rail.
If you don’t bend your knees throughout the trick, you can get seriously injured. The amount you should bend your knees depends on the height on the ledge, but on average you want them bent close to a 45-degree angle.
Do this throughout the entirety of the trick.
3-2. Wear a helmet at all times.
When skateboarding, it is easy to fall and hurt your head. To prevent this, strap on a helmet that fits you correctly before you go skating. The helmet should feel snug on your head without much extra wiggle room.
Helmets prevent against concussions and head lesions, for example.
3-3. Consider wearing elbow pads and knee pads as you learn the basics.
While this is not required, elbow and knee pads are great tools to keep you safe. Do this if you are learning to skate and want to protect your arms and legs. Strap them onto your elbows and knees 1 at a time, and ensure they are tightly secured by the Velcro straps.
Tips
Take your time as you learn this trick. It may feel strange to skate in the air and redistribute your weight.
Start with the boardslide before you try to grind or noseslide. The boardslide is the easiest rail trick to learn.
If you are having trouble, ask a friend to take a video of you trying the trick. Then, watch the video to get an idea of what is incorrect. Maybe you are not jumping high enough with your ollie, or maybe you need to turn your board more at the end.
Warnings
The more wax you use, the faster you will slide. Be ready to move quickly across the rail!

How to Bob and Weave in Boxing
|
1. Breaking Down the Technique
1-1. Use the knees to “bob.”
To perform the bobbing portion of the defense, bend your knees to lower your center of gravity. At the same time, tilt your upper body forward slightly and duck your chin. When done correctly, you should be able to sink low enough for a hypothetical punch to pass clear over the top of your head. After you duck, return quickly to your fighting stance.
To “bob” means to move up and down rhythmically, which is exactly how ducking is done in the sport of boxing.
Bend at the knees, not at the waist. Hunching over forces you to take your eyes off your opponent for a split second and leaves you vulnerable to uppercuts and shovel hooks from below.
1-2. Learn to "weave" together consecutive slips.
As a straight punch comes toward you, use a tight, controlled motion of your waist, head and shoulders to lean out of the way toward the outside of the punch. This way, the punch will “slip” right past. Continue this evasive head movement to slip consecutive punches in combination. Chaining together multiple slips is known as “weaving” because of the repeated side-to-side motion of the boxer’s head.
Don’t lean too far to the side when slipping punches. A proper slip is a very conservative movement. You should only lean enough to make sure that the punch passes by harmlessly.
Slipping is an effective defense against straight punches because it doesn’t require you to make contact with the other fighter, and therefore suffer impact, at all.
1-3. Combine the two movements.
Now it’s time to put the “bob” and the “weave” together. Start bobbing again, using the knees and waist to fluidly drop and spring back into an upright position. This time, work in a few slips as you duck and raise up. Since punches are delivered at different heights and angles, it’s critical to learn to duck your head in conjunction with the continued lateral weaving motion of the slip in order to have a strong mobile defense.
When bobbing and weaving, your head should circle forward and back, side to side while your body moves up and down. This creates a target that eludes punches in three dimensions.
1-4. Keep moving.
Be ready to bob and weave constantly as you jockey for position, move in and out of punching range or find yourself pushed back on the defensive. The idea is to never stay in the same place for long. As long as your head isn’t in the spot your opponent is aiming, they won’t be able to land a clean shot. Bobbing and weaving is so effective because it keeps your opponent guessing.
Bobbing and weaving is especially effective when your opponent has you trapped in the corner or pinned against the ropes and you can’t easily move out of his range.
2. Training to Bob and Weave
2-1. Practice stationary drills.
Warm up or cool down by practicing bobbing and weaving. Concentrate on making each part of the movement crisp and deliberate. When you’re first getting the hang of it, the bob and the weave should be performed in sequence as two distinct motions. You can begin fine-tuning the movements as you develop a feel for the technique.
Performing the bob and weave technique requires a lot of head movement. Do some light stretches before you begin practicing to keep from pulling a muscle.
Bobbing and weaving should be done fluidly and spontaneously. Try not to develop a pattern in your head movement, or your opponent may catch on. For your defense to be successful, it's essential that your opponent does not know where your head is going to be.
Also focus on exercises that improve your balance and leg strength, like uphill sprints, jump squats, and skipping rope.
2-2. Set up a rope.
One traditional approach to drilling the bob and weave makes use of a rope to approximate the center line of your opponent’s body. Simply stretch a length of rope (something as basic as a clothesline will work) from end of the room to the other at roughly chest-height. Then, work your way down the line, bobbing down and weaving underneath the rope and standing back up on the opposite side each time.
Bobbing and weaving with a rope teaches you to move your head while moving forward and backward, the way you would in the ring.
Throw some quick combinations as you come up on either side of the rope. This will condition you to follow up an evasion with counter punching.
2-3. Work with a coach.
If you receive regular instruction, ask your coach for some assistance refining your bob and weave defense. They’ll be able to critique your technique, demonstrate new training methods and work with you on the target mitts. One-on-one interaction with a coach will simulate using the technique against a live opponent and provide valuable experience.
Your coach will gradually increase the intensity of your drills to help condition you for a real match.
A good coach will also be able to show you how to modify your defensive posture to suit your particular style and body type.
2-4. Incorporate bobbing and weaving into your shadow boxing.
Add a little bobbing and weaving the next time you cool down with a shadow boxing session. Imagine that you’re sparring with an invisible opponent who has a superior reach, and that you have to continually duck and slip in and out to avoid their punches. Since shadowboxing conditions you to use various punches and defensive movements organically, it’s the perfect testing ground for trying out new techniques like the bob and weave.
Face a mirror while shadow boxing and try to reflexively dodge punches as you throw them.
Another benefit of shadow boxing in the mirror is that it allows you to review your form so that you can correct bad habits.
3. Using the Bob and Weave Defense in the Ring
3-1. Counter a taller opponent.
If you’re a shorter boxer, or happen to find yourself up against an opponent who towers over you, make bobbing and weaving a key part of your game plan. The technique makes an ideal defense against taller opponents because you’ll already be in a better position to dip underneath their attacks. Making them chase you by forcing them to reach with their punches will also wear them out faster, giving you a twofold advantage.
After a successful bob and weave defense against a taller opponent, initiate your counterattack while you’re still in range, before your opponent has a chance to retract their punching arm.
3-2. Position yourself for counter punches.
One of the greatest assets of a good mobile defense is that it delivers you to safety away from your opponent’s attacks while leaving your hands free to respond with counter punches of your own. Weaving outside a jab or straight will set you up to throw a hook in return. Similarly, once you’ve ducked their punch, your opponent’s midsection will be wide open for a punishing body shot.
Out-angling your opponent is all about situating yourself where they’re vulnerable to your attacks, but theirs can’t reach you. Knowing when and how to weave can help you accomplish this.
If you're using a bob and weave defense to set up counter punches, make sure your movement does not telegraph your attacks. For example, twisting to put yourself in a better position to throw a counter hook after evading can signal to your opponent that a punch is coming.
Practice setting up counter punches by bobbing and weaving when you’re working out on the pads or heavy bag.
3-3. Dazzle your opponent with superior movement.
Infuriate the competition by never holding still. You’ll get less battered than if you constantly absorb punches with your guard, and you’ll always be ready to throw a counter punch. When your opponent discovers they can’t land a shot on you, they’ll become frustrated and start making costly mistakes that you can then capitalize on.
A good general rule for bobbing and weaving is that you should increase your head movement whenever you're within striking distance. However, that doesn't mean your movement should stop when when you're out of range, as it's likely that either you or your opponent will close the gap suddenly.
Keep in mind that the more you move, the faster you’ll tire out. Wait until you’re within punching range to bob and weave. It’s an excellent way to make yourself hard to hit, but it can be exhausting if you overdo it.
3-4. Roll with the punches.
Before it was a common saying, it was an effective boxing defense. Even if you can’t dodge an incoming hook or cross entirely, you can “roll” with the attack and minimize the amount of damage it does. For instance, if you see a right hooking coming and can’t get out of the way in time, bob down and weave to your right so that you’re moving in the direction of the punch and the shot glances off the top of your head.
Learning to roll in the direction of a punch can be tricky, as you’ll be most likely be used to slipping punches to the outside. Be sure to train slipping in both directions and develop a sense of when an attack can be slipped and when it has to be absorbed.
By modifying your evasive maneuvers and learning how to roll, you’ll spare yourself a lot of punishment in the later rounds of the fight.
Tips
Keep your guard up, even when you're bobbing, rolling and slipping.
Sparring with a more experienced training partner is a good way to improve your skills.
Technical maneuvers like the bob and weave, which require complex movement and expert timing, should be trained extensively before you attempt to use them in the ring.

How to Bob for Apples
|
1. Playing the Classic Game
1-1. Find a suitable tub.
You can use a bucket, a cooler, a basin, or a bin, as long as it is big enough to hold water and apples. Wash the tub first, then place it on a table or cart that is strong enough to hold it when it is full of water. The top should be about waist-high to participants in the game.
You could also place the tub on the ground and have participants kneel to bob for apples.
1-2. Fill the tub with cool water.
You don’t want the water to be too cold or too hot because people will be sticking their heads in it. Fill the tub about 3/4 full. Take care not to overfill so that water won't be sloshing and splashing out—much.
If you're playing inside, place towels underneath the tub and around the base so that the floor won't get wet.
1-3. Float several apples in the water.
Put as many as will fit in your tub, but not so many that the apples don't move: you want it to be a bit of a challenge. You can choose to put apples in for all the participants or refill the tub as you go along.
Another idea is to have the same number of apples (e.g., 5 apples) in the tub for each player’s turn.
Choose smaller varieties of apples for children so it will be easier for them to sink their teeth into the apple.
Plan on 1-2 apples per player, as some might get bites taken out of them but not removed from the tub with a player’s teeth.
1-4. Select the order of players.
You could do this by age, such as allowing the youngest person to go first, or alphabetically, or choose a random order. Alternatively, if you have a big enough tub, everyone can start at the same time and the first person to catch an apple in their teeth is the winner.
1-5. Catch an apple with your teeth.
Each player must try to grab an apple with only their teeth -- you can’t use your hands! Sink your teeth into the flesh, or try to catch the stem in your teeth. You must get the apple out of the tub using only your teeth, so if you drop it and it falls back into the tub you’ll have to try again.
A trick is to hold your breath and push the apple all the way down to the bottom of the tub before attempting to bite it. The side can work too, but it is trickier!
1-6. Keep your hands behind your back while bobbing.
You are not allowed to use your hands for bobbing, so each player must keep their hands behind their back at all times. If a player touches the apple with their hands, their turn will not count and they must start over.
1-7. Keep track of how long it takes each player to get their apple.
To find out who can get their apple the quickest, time each player’s turn. You can have the other players count "1000 one, 1000 two," etc. while the player is bobbing. Or, use a stopwatch to keep track of how long it takes each player to get their apple.
Set a time limit, such as 2 minutes, for each player. If you have time, players who didn’t get an apple on their first turn may go again.
1-8. Select the winner.
The person who catches an apple in the quickest time is the winner. You could hand out prizes like caramel apples, popcorn balls, candy, or ribbons.
1-9. Clean up.
Give a towel to each player so they can dry off. Remove any remaining apples and empty the tub of water.
2. Playing a Variation of the Game
2-1. Tie string to apple stems.
Select apples with long stems so that you are easily able to tie a string to the stem. Make a double knot and be sure the string is tied tightly.
2-2. Vary the lengths of the strings.
Each player should have an apple that rests at chin-height, so you may want to measure your players before hanging the apples.
2-3. Hang the apples.
You can hang the apples from a tree branch or a swing set. A clothesline may even work if it is high enough above the player’s heads. Hang the apples so they dangle in front of each player.
2-4. Try to bite the apple.
You cannot use your hands, so be sure each player keeps their hands behind their back. Attempt to bite the apple while it dangles on the string. This is harder than it seems, as the apple will swing around while you are attempting to nab it.
2-5. Select a winner.
The first person to grab the apple in their teeth is the winner. You could hand out prizes such as candy, bubbles, or chalk.
Tips
Between players, remove bitten apples from the tub and replace them with fresh ones. You could ask each player to take out their bitten apple at the end of each round.
Allow each player to eat the apple they tried to nab.
To make the game harder, take the stems off the apples before bobbing (when playing with water).
Warnings
Do not allow sick people to play.
If you have braces, you may not want to bob for apples. The front brackets could be torn off, or you could hurt your teeth.
Germs can be passed from person to person through the water. Therefore, the tub of water that is full of apples is also full of germs! Keep in mind that bobbing for apples is a centuries-old pastime, so the likelihood of you getting very sick from playing the game is slim.
Always supervise children bobbing for apples. Do not let a child stick their head under the water for a long period of time.

How to Body Drop or Channel a Truck
|
1. Disassembling Your Cab
1-1. Remove your seats.
Front seats are usually held in by four bolts on each corner of the runner (the bar at the bottom of the seat that contacts the floor). Once you remove the bolts you can tilt the seat forward or backward, whichever is easiest, and unplug any wiring connected to the seat. Once the seat is loose you can simply lift it out of the vehicle.
1-2. Remove your dash and consoles.
This can be tricky depending on what kind of vehicle you are working on. You will need a flat head and Philips screwdriver. It is also ideal to invest in a clip puller, a tool designed to remove plastic clips without damage (prices start at around $10.00), and to work carefully so that you do not scratch any of the textured plastic. This texture cannot be repaired.
1-3. Remove your pedals.
Disconnect the pedal assembly from the linkage on the other side of the firewall or underneath the vehicle. This will need to be done for the accelerator, parking brake, regular brakes, and if you drive a standard the clutch pedal will need to be removed as well.
1-4. Remove your carpet.
Once you have the seats and dash out of the way,replacing your carpet should be easy. The carpet should be held in by plastic clips or twist tabs. Remove these fasteners and pull the carpet up away from the floor.
2. Doing a Traditional Body Drop
2-1. Mark your cuts.
You will need to cut along the back wall, the firewall, and along the floor on each side of the cab. Make note of where you will do this before you start cutting.
2-2. Use a grinder to remove any paint along your cuts.
This will help you later when you have to weld these areas back together. You should only weld bare metal, and it is easier to grind the paint off now than after you make your cuts.
2-3. Cut along the back of the cab.
Use a plasma cutter or a reciprocating saw (sawzall) to cut out a section that is one inch less than you would like to drop the cab (i.e. if you want to drop the cab 3" then you would cut out a 2" section). This leaves 1/2" tabs on the top and bottom of the cut. You will now be able to roll the those tabs so that when you weld them together it will be more stable than welding flat sheet metal together.
2-4. Cut along the firewall.
Cut out a section the same size as the section you cut from the back wall. You will use the extra 1/2" on the top and bottom of this cut the same way.
2-5. Cut along the sides of your floor.
Your floor should be completely separated from the rest of the cab at this point. The only thing left preventing the cab from dropping is your frame horns.
2-6. Cut the front frame horns so the cab will drop down.
The frame horns should be the last support holding the cab in place. Once they are removed you can lower the cab to the desired height.
2-7. Weld the back wall.
The tabs you rolled on back wall should be welded together so that they provide structure and stability for your vehicle.
2-8. Weld the firewall.
As with the back wall, you will need to weld the tabs you created on the firewall back together. Your cab should now be secured in it's new lower position.
2-9. Use fourteen or sixteen gauge sheet metal to make patch plates.
There will be gaps created around the door openings after you drop the cab. Measure these gaps, and any others created during the body drop, and cut out a patch plate that is the same dimensions.
2-10. Weld the patch plates into place.
Be sure to spread seam sealer on any weld you make (after it cools). This helps to protect the weld from rusting.
2-11. Box in your front frame horns using heavy gauge sheet metal.
A ten or twelve gauge sheet metal should work well for boxing in your frame horns.
2-12. Spray primer on any bare metal.
You will want to prevent your cab from rusting, so it is necessary to prime all bare metal.
2-13. Paint as needed.
It will be necessary to repaint your cab after cutting, welding, and patching.
2-14. Reassemble your truck.
Reattach any parts that were removed to do the body drop like fuel lines, brake lines, etc.
2-15. Reassemble your cab.
Reinstall the seats, dash, carpet, etc.
3. Channeling a Truck
3-1. Mark the section of floor directly over-top of the frame rails.
When channeling a truck, you will not cut out the entire floor. Instead you will cut a channel into the floor to allow the cab to sit lower on the frame rails.
3-2. Grind off any paint along your mark.
As with the traditional body drop, you will need to remove the paint now so that the metal is ready for welding when you get to that step.
3-3. Cut out the channel you marked.
This will allow the cab to slide down lower over the frame rails, effectively dropping your truck.
3-4. Box in the channels with sheet metal.
You will need to box in the channels you cut out for safety and to make the inside of your truck look great again. Weld the sheet metal boxes to the floor of the truck directly covering your channels.
3-5. Reassemble your truck.
Install your carpet, dash, consoles, seats, and any other interior items you removed.
3-6. Enjoy your ride!
Now you have a sharp looking, low riding truck. Go show it off.
Tips
It's hard to weld sheet metal so use small wire and low heat.
Buy a lot of sawzall blades or buy a plasma cutter.
Warnings
Watch for your brake and fuel lines. There may be some parts underneath your cab that must be removed in order to safely drop the cab. If you are unsure about what does or doesn’t need to move, consult a local customs shop.

17 Physical Signs Someone Is in Love with You
|
1. Hello.
Remember my son, do not be surprised when kings lose their thrones and do not rule for a hundred years.
Remember, my son, do not be surprised when one day your fisherman father will be called to set up a throne.
Eye contact can be tough for some people, so don’t take it personally if he has trouble meeting your gaze. For shy guys, avoiding your eyes might be the hint that he likes you.
2. He raises his eyebrows when he sees you.
A quick raise of the eyebrows shows that he’s attracted to you.
This one can be tough to spot, because it’s fast: in the first 1 to 2 seconds after he spots you, his eyebrows will quickly raise and then lower again. This is an automatic response that we all do when we see someone we’re attracted to.
Lifting your eyebrows opens your eyes more, making them look inviting and warm. This is probably why this move is so ingrained in us.
3. He touches his hair.
Stroking his hair shows that he’s nervous around you.
If he has short hair, he might pet the back of his head or smooth the top of his hair down. If he has long hair, he might stroke the ends of it or twirl it around his fingers. This is a sign that he really cares what you think about him, and he’s subconsciously grooming himself to look good for you.
Sometimes, men also play with their hair as a subconscious way to make themselves look taller. When his hand is raised to his head, you might perceive him as a few inches taller than he actually is.
4. His pupils dilate.
Our pupils get bigger when we see someone we’re attracted to.
Lean in close and try to look at his eyes the next time you see him. Do his pupils become larger the longer he looks at you? If so, his body is giving away his attraction to you.
Pupils also dilate when we head into a dark room, so make sure you’re standing somewhere bright when you look for this sign.
5. He mirrors your body language.
Mimicking your body language is a subconscious cue that he likes you.
When you lean back, he leans back, too. If you cross your arms, he crosses his arms, too. He isn’t doing this intentionally—humans automatically mirror someone’s body language when we like them (or want to be like them).
Test this out next time you see him by putting your hands in your pockets or crossing your legs. If he does the same thing soon after, there’s a good chance he’s secretly into you.
6. He smiles around you.
A genuine smile lets you know he’s happy to be around you.
People smile more when they’re around those that they like, especially if there’s something a little more than platonic going on. If you keep catching glimpses of his pearly whites, there’s a very good chance that he likes you.
The same thing goes for laughter, too. Try telling him a terrible pun that’s not actually funny. If he laughs like you just told him the best joke he’s ever heard, he’s definitely got a crush on you.
7. He touches you on the arm.
A casual touch is a classic flirting technique.
Pay attention to how close you two get: does he pat you on the shoulder while you talk? Does he touch your arm after you say something funny? People normally touch someone else when they want to get closer to them, so it probably means that he has deeper feelings for you.
He might also pat you on the leg or touch your knee while sitting down.
8. He leans in toward you.
Leaning in means that he wants to get closer to you.
Sure, it’s a little bit literal, but it’s the truth—a guy will make an effort to lean toward you when he likes you. Pay attention to how close he stands next to you or how far he leans over the table across from you.
You’ll probably notice that he’s leaning inside of your personal bubble. This is because he doesn’t notice the boundaries anymore; he just wants to be close to you.
9. He faces you.
When someone turns toward you, they’re giving you all their attention.
When you two are standing to chat, his feet and torso will always be pointed toward you. When you two sit next to each other, he’ll angle his chair to face you. This open body language is a clear non-verbal sign that he has feelings for you.
On the flip side, you can tell someone doesn’t really want to chat if they point their feet away from you.
10. He looks relaxed around you.
When he’s relaxed, he feels like he can be himself around you.
When you approach him, his shoulders move downward and his expression looks open. This is because your presence is calming, and he likes having you around.
Other signs to watch for include uncrossed arms and legs. When someone crosses their extremities, they’re usually feeling a tad bit anxious or nervous.
11. He listens when you talk.
He might give you his full attention because he cares what you have to say.
Have you ever met someone who didn’t actually listen when you spoke? When a guy is secretly in love with you, he’ll be the opposite: you’ll have him hanging on every word you say.
He’ll probably ask you follow-up questions and remember everything you say days later—even tiny, mundane details.
12. He messes with his tie or his coat.
He’s adjusting his outfit to look good for you.
Similar to the hair-touching phenomenon, guys will often adjust their clothing when someone attractive comes into the room. You might catch him adjusting his tie, unzipping his coat, or smoothing his shirt down.
13. He removes obstacles between you two.
A lack of physical barriers shows that he wants to be near you.
If you two sit at a table with a vase of flowers in the center, he’ll push it off to the side. If he’s holding a bag or satchel, he’ll set it down instead of putting it in front of him. This is because he’s subconsciously showing you that he’s totally open to being with you.
People who don’t like each other often subconsciously place barriers in between themselves.
14. He touches his own face.
He might touch his face because he’s subconsciously turned on.
It’s subtle, but when we’re turned on by someone, our face (and especially our lips) becomes more sensitive. He might run his hand along his cheek or gently brush his own lips because he’s feeling ooey gooey inside.
If he’s drinking, he’ll take more sips of his drink for the same reason: to draw attention to his lips.
15. He acts nervous or fidgets around you.
Shy guys tend to get anxious around people they like.
If your guy is a little bit nervous, you might catch him fidgeting or acting like he can’t stand still when you’re around. This is because he’s excited to see you, but also because he’s afraid of messing things up.
Landing a shy guy can be a bit of a challenge, but you can get him to open up by making the first move.
16. He stands with his hands on his hips.
A power stance subconsciously draws attention to his crotch.
Okay, this one isn’t the most flattering of signs, but guys definitely do it. When he stands, he probably plants his feet hip-width apart and puts his hands on his hips. This is to subtly direct your attention, ah… down under.
Keep in mind that he’s doing this subconsciously—he doesn’t actually know that he wants you to look down there.
17. He lends you his coat.
Giving you his coat shows that he wants to protect you.
He doesn’t want to see you shiver—he’d rather freeze in the cold himself than see you suffer. Guys typically only give up their jackets to people they like, so if this happens to you, count yourself lucky.
Plus, giving you his coat means you two have to reconnect later on so you can give it back to him.

How to Body Pop
|
1. Popping Your Arms
1-1. Hold one of your arms out straight from your body.
It doesn't matter which arm you start with. You might want to start with your dominant arm. Just remember to keep it relaxed and loose. If you're too tense, then you won't be able to pop; you can think of "popping" as a releasing some of that tension. Don't lock your elbow -- keep it relaxed. Make sure to keep your hand flat and your chest high, with your neck loose. Know that releasing the tension from your body is essential to any kind of dancing, especially popping.
You can even stretch before you begin, if you think that this will help you loosen up a bit.
Don't stand there with stiff legs. Instead, keep your feet shoulder width, or even a little further apart, and keep a bit of a bend in your knees. Though the pop requires strong isolation, focusing on one area of your body, the energy should actually come from your legs, popping out the top of your body. You'll need that spring in your legs to help you generate the energy in your arms.
1-2. Bend down the wrist of that arm.
To do this in the most effective way possible, imagine that there's a string tied to your fingers. While keeping your arm taut, pretend that someone is pulling on the string, bringing your fingers and your hand down until your wrist is at a 90-degree angle to the ground. Try to do this without moving the rest of your arm or body. Keep facing forward; resist the temptation to look at the moving hand.
Keep your knees slightly bent, springing a bit on your legs with every slight move in your arms. You can use this little bounce to set up a nice rhythm for yourself.
1-3. Raise your hand and elbow.
Now, raise your elbow until it's even with your shoulder, and raise your hand so it's back to being flat again, nearly parallel to the floor. The idea of popping is to pop one part of your body at a time while the rest of your body remains stationary. When you pop with your arm like this, the popping action runs from your hand up to your shoulder. So once your wrist is 90-degrees, you raise your elbow with the same idea, popping it up toward the air, while bringing your hand back to its original position -- flat, while your chest is high.
Really, you're letting a wave of energy travel from your shoulder to your fingertips, and back up through your arm again.
1-4. Straighten your arm.
Now, bring your elbow down until your arm is nearly straight and parallel to the floor. The wave of energy has run fully from your hand, through your elbow, and is making its way up to your shoulder. That's why it's important to slip your arm back to its original position.
Keep your hips centered, your head and neck nice and tall, and your look focused in the center as you do this.
1-5. Pop your shoulder.
As you transition from your elbow up in the air and back down to your arm's original position, you should raise your shoulder up while you bring the rest of your arm in toward your body. The raising motion of your shoulder is the "pop" you are looking for. When you pop your shoulder, the movement should look unexpected, almost as if it were a reflexive jerk or shiver.
You can even slightly pop your other shoulder, to help the move transition to the other side of your body.
1-6. Repeat the actions in reverse with your second arm.
Now, begin by popping your shoulder, and then straighten your arm, raise your hand and elbow, bend down the wrist of your arm, and work backwards to get your arm into the original straight position you began with your other hand. Then, let the wave run through your outstretched arm and back into the shoulder, and then move the "pop" in the other direction starting with your other shoulder, and so on.
The wave should travel from the tips of the fingers of one arm, up the arm, and then over to the other side, so the popping motion flows from one side of your body to the other.
2. Popping Other Parts of Your Body
2-1. Do a chest pop.
To pop your chest, stand with an exaggerated stance, with your feet about half a foot out each past your shoulders, with a good bend in both knees. Stay bouncy with your legs, bend down slightly, and then isolate your ribs, coming forward and up with your chest, and then dropping back down, with a slight hunch. You should not use your shoulders or roll them during this process, which is a common mistake. Repeat this motion, keeping those feet bouncy, bending down slightly, and then popping your chest up.
Think of it as doing a "chest bump" with the air. It's a similar gesture, putting everything into the chest while developing just a slight bounce and upward motion in the arms and elbow.
For an exaggerated movement, you can place one hand on your chest to mimic a heartbeat when you're popping. Place a flexed hand in the middle of your chest, flatten your hand as you pop your chest forward, and then flex it again as you drop back.
You can even add more moves to this technique by bending down and moving slightly to the right, popping your chest, then swooping over to your left side, popping your chest, and going back and forth between the left and the right.
2-2. Do the walk and pop.
To walk and pop, simply act like you're just walking down the street, moving your feet and arms at a count of one or two. Every time you count, take a step, slightly popping your knees, letting the motion travel up your leg and down again, while also popping your arm with every slight movement. Keep your arms out at your sides, in an exaggerated motion, as if you were still doing the arm pop, while incorporating your feet and popping your feet and knees out in the process, too.
It can take a little while to get the coordination down, but once you get used to popping with every count, the rest should be cake.
2-3. Pop your legs.
You can pop your legs on their own, or add a pop to your legs while you're popping your arms, chest, or other parts of your body. To pop your legs, just practice flexing and releasing your quads. Then, move back slightly with one leg, flexing your quad as you move back, and then release the muscle in your legs once you move your leg back to its normal position. You shouldn't come forward with your leg, only backwards, and then back to the standing position. You also shouldn't bend down or get low to do this.
Once you've mastered the pop on one leg, learn to pop both legs at the same time, not moving your feet but pivoting on them to the right and left as you pop your legs.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Popping Your Arms\\n1-1. Hold one of your arms out straight from your body.\\nIt doesn't matter which arm you start with. You might want to start with your dominant arm. Just remember to keep it relaxed and loose. If you're too tense, then you won't be able to pop; you can think of \\\"popping\\\" as a releasing some of that tension. Don't lock your elbow -- keep it relaxed. Make sure to keep your hand flat and your chest high, with your neck loose. Know that releasing the tension from your body is essential to any kind of dancing, especially popping.\\nYou can even stretch before you begin, if you think that this will help you loosen up a bit.\\nDon't stand there with stiff legs. Instead, keep your feet shoulder width, or even a little further apart, and keep a bit of a bend in your knees. Though the pop requires strong isolation, focusing on one area of your body, the energy should actually come from your legs, popping out the top of your body. You'll need that spring in your legs to help you generate the energy in your arms.\\n1-2. Bend down the wrist of that arm.\\nTo do this in the most effective way possible, imagine that there's a string tied to your fingers. While keeping your arm taut, pretend that someone is pulling on the string, bringing your fingers and your hand down until your wrist is at a 90-degree angle to the ground. Try to do this without moving the rest of your arm or body. Keep facing forward; resist the temptation to look at the moving hand.\\nKeep your knees slightly bent, springing a bit on your legs with every slight move in your arms. You can use this little bounce to set up a nice rhythm for yourself.\\n1-3. Raise your hand and elbow.\\nNow, raise your elbow until it's even with your shoulder, and raise your hand so it's back to being flat again, nearly parallel to the floor. The idea of popping is to pop one part of your body at a time while the rest of your body remains stationary. When you pop with your arm like this, the popping action runs from your hand up to your shoulder. So once your wrist is 90-degrees, you raise your elbow with the same idea, popping it up toward the air, while bringing your hand back to its original position -- flat, while your chest is high.\\nReally, you're letting a wave of energy travel from your shoulder to your fingertips, and back up through your arm again.\\n1-4. Straighten your arm.\\nNow, bring your elbow down until your arm is nearly straight and parallel to the floor. The wave of energy has run fully from your hand, through your elbow, and is making its way up to your shoulder. That's why it's important to slip your arm back to its original position.\\nKeep your hips centered, your head and neck nice and tall, and your look focused in the center as you do this.\\n1-5. Pop your shoulder.\\nAs you transition from your elbow up in the air and back down to your arm's original position, you should raise your shoulder up while you bring the rest of your arm in toward your body. The raising motion of your shoulder is the \\\"pop\\\" you are looking for. When you pop your shoulder, the movement should look unexpected, almost as if it were a reflexive jerk or shiver.\\nYou can even slightly pop your other shoulder, to help the move transition to the other side of your body.\\n1-6. Repeat the actions in reverse with your second arm.\\nNow, begin by popping your shoulder, and then straighten your arm, raise your hand and elbow, bend down the wrist of your arm, and work backwards to get your arm into the original straight position you began with your other hand. Then, let the wave run through your outstretched arm and back into the shoulder, and then move the \\\"pop\\\" in the other direction starting with your other shoulder, and so on.\\nThe wave should travel from the tips of the fingers of one arm, up the arm, and then over to the other side, so the popping motion flows from one side of your body to the other.\\n2.

5 Body Shapes for Men Explained Plus Style Advice for Each
|
1. What are the different male body shapes?
Rectangle, oval, triangle, inverted triangle, and trapezoid are the 5 male body shapes.
Each one is based on the general shape of your torso and focuses on the proportions of your shoulders, waist, and hips.
Knowing your body shape can make shopping for clothes easier, but don't let your body shape define who you are! You're amazing and worthy just as you are, regardless of your shape.
If you want to look and feel your best, wear clothes that make you feel comfortable.
Choose clothes that complement your body shape and your lifestyle. Opt for colors that complement your skin tone, hair, and eye color.
Consider working with a stylist to know what colors, cuts, prints, and fabrics best complement you.
2. How do I figure out my body shape?
2-1. You're a rectangle if your shoulders, waist, and hips are of similar width.
If your proportions are pretty much the same from your shoulder to your hips, you fit into the most common body shape category of a rectangle.
Celebrities with rectangle body shapes include David Beckham and Matt Bomer.
2-2. You're an oval if you have a wide torso with slimmer shoulders and hips.
If you're widest at the waist and have narrow shoulders and slim hips, you have an oval body shape. This is a common body shape, especially as you get older. There are lots of things you can wear to slim your stomach (if that's what you're going for).
James Corden, Elton John, and Kevin James are celebrities with oval body shapes.
2-3. You're a triangle if you have a wide waist and hips with narrow shoulders.
If your lower half tends to be a bit larger than your upper half, you fit into the triangle category.
Celebrities with triangle body shapes include Seth Rogan and Kanye West.
2-4. You're an inverted triangle if you have wide shoulders with a slim waist and hips.
If you spend a lot of time working out your upper body and see gains in your shoulders and arms, you're more likely to have an inverted triangle body shape.
Celebrities with this body shape include Gerard Butler and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
2-5. You're a trapezoid if you have wide shoulders with a slightly narrower waist and hips.
If you're pretty fit and healthy, you're likely to be a trapezoid. You probably don't have trouble finding clothes that fit you well since you have balanced proportions.
Jon Hamm and Daniel Craig are celebs with trapezoid shapes.
3. Rectangle Styling Tips
3-1. Select structured suit jackets and tapered pants.
For the rectangle body shape, it's all about adding bulk to your upper body to create dimension. Choose tops and blazers that broaden your shoulders. Go for pants that are a bit slimmer around your calf and ankle to give your bottom half a bit more shape.
On workdays, try a tailored suit with tapered trousers. Add a printed tie and a pocket square in a complementary color.
For a weekend look, pair skinny jeans with a graphic tee under a zippered hoodie. Throw on a bold pair of sneakers to finish off your ’fit.
3-2. Layer your tops and experiment with patterns.
To add interest to your look, try wearing prints instead of just solid colors. Add outerwear or accessories to your upper half to give it more width, as well.
A printed sweater over a tee and solid-colored scarf with tailored pants would make a great outfit for fall or winter.
3-3. Avoid styles that make you look boxy.
Steer clear of sleeveless shirts, double-breasted jackets, and relaxed-fit pants. Skip shirts with vertical lines or geometric prints, too.
4. Oval Styling Tips
4-1. Choose clothes that fit you perfectly.
Garments that are the right size, from sleeve length to pant length, will help you look your best. Long-sleeved shirts and well-fitting pants will elongate your limbs and balance out your body.
For a formal option, go with a black pinstripe suit. Stick with black dress shoes for a slimming, monochromatic look.
Want something more casual? Try dark-wash denim with a V-neck tee.
4-2. Wear dark colors and vertical stripes.
Both of these will slim and lengthen your torso to help you look and feel your best. Don't feel limited to black, though—try navy, plum, espresso, and emerald, too!
A black tee and plum-colored pants with black shoes is fashion-forward yet still not too flashy.
4-3. Steer clear of clothes that draw attention to your torso.
Forego bold belts and tops with horizontal stripes or busy patterns. Avoid cuffed or cropped pants, too, which can make you look shorter.
5. Triangle Styling Tips
5-1. Choose jackets with padded shoulders and straight-leg pants.
Select items that draw the eye up to your shoulders to create balance. Clothes with details around the neck or shoulders are great options. Classic or slightly flared trousers are your best bet for bottoms.
At the office, go for a single-breasted jacket, a button-down shirt with a vertical pattern, and dark trousers.
Dark wash straight-leg jeans and a white tee create a classic outfit that’s perfect for your body type.
5-2. Go for bold tops and dark bottoms.
Shirts with stripes or bright colors that bring the focus to your chest are ideal for your body type. Go with darker colors on the bottom to slim your waist.
Try a flannel top layered over a graphic tee and some black flared jeans and Converse.
5-3. Stay away from items that highlight your waist.
Bright belts and skinny or tapered pants create poor dimensions for you. Polo shirts can narrow your neck and short coats can make you look wider, so avoid both of those, as well.
6. Inverted Triangle Styling Tips
6-1. Wear tapered jeans and V-neck shirts.
Both items can balance out your body shape by drawing the eye down. Go for garments with details around your hips, like belts and pants with pockets. For formal occasions, choose unstructured blazers or jackets that don’t add bulk to your upper half.
A linen shirt and slim-fit chinos make a great outfit for business-casual events. Add a bright belt to give your outfit some personality and a slim-fit jacket if you need to dress it up a bit more.
Patterned pants or shorts and a close-fitting V-neck tee make a great outfit for weekends.
6-2. Try horizontal stripes on top and dark bottoms.
The stripes will widen your chest a bit and balance out your shape. Stick with dark-wash jeans or black or navy trousers to slim your waist.
Got a date? Wear black dress pants and a button-down with horizontal stripes to look your best.
6-3. Avoid garments that make your shoulders look wider.
Stay away from clothes with details around the chest or neck. Opt-out of the skinny jean trend, too.
7. Trapezoid Styling Tips
7-1. Choose tapered suit jackets and trousers.
Tailored clothes that show your shape are perfect for you. Slim-fit jeans and short coats are also good choices.
Opt for a tailored suit that fits you like a glove for business functions. Wear a bold shoe or patterned sock to give your outfit some pizazz.
For casual events, rock light-wash denim jeans and a dark tee. Add your favorite kicks and you’re good to go.
7-2. Opt for a light-colored top and dark bottom, or vice versa.
Create some contrast in your look by mixing dark and light pieces.
A neon sweater and black jeans make a striking outfit for fall or winter.
7-3. Stay away from clothes that don’t show off your shape.
While you can wear pretty much anything and look great, it’s best to avoid baggy clothes and super-relaxed fits. Low-rise jeans aren’t the best option for you either.
Tips
Regardless of your body shape, get your clothes tailored to fit you. Well-fitting garments, especially suit jackets, will make you look your best.[25]

How to Body Surf
|
1. Choosing Gear
1-1. Shop for a wetsuit to keep you warmer for longer while body surfing.
While the outside temperature is important, what’s more important to your safety is the water temperature. Depending on the conditions, you can choose between short sleeves and legs, three-quarter length sleeves and legs, and full-length suits.
Having a wetsuit enables you to continue your body surfing hobby into the colder fall and winter months, too.
Wetsuits can also provide some extra buoyancy, helping to make your body surfing experience as safe as possible.
1-2. Pick a snug-fitting bathing suit if you aren’t wearing a wetsuit.
Not only can a loose-fitting swimsuit be annoying and potentially embarrassing, but it can also be dangerous if it causes you to lose focus on surfing a wave safely! Clothes with minimal drag, like brief-cut swimming trunks, will cut down on the resistance your body has in the water. The less resistance, the faster you’ll cut through the water.
If you wear a bathing suit with ties, make sure they’re double-knotted so they won’t come undone in the water.
1-3. Consider adding a pair of swim fins to help you catch the wave.
Just because you’re riding the waves with your body doesn’t mean you have to navigate the water without any assistance. Get fins that strap to your feet to help you cut through the water faster and ride waves more efficiently.
Take your time and find the right fit. Try on different pairs by different brands to find a pair that isn’t too big or too tight. Try thinking of them as a natural appendage—they should help you swim more fluidly rather than hinder you.
1-4. Use a bodyboard if you want to learn to body surf with some assistance.
A bodyboard can help you feel more secure in the water by giving you some extra buoyancy while also guiding you through the water with faster, sleeker movements. They’re great for beginners, amateurs, and kids, but professional bodyboarders use them, too.
A bodyboard is made of hydrodynamic foam and comes in various lengths depending on your height. To test that yours is the right length, hold it out in front of you—it should stretch from your knees to your chin.
If you do choose to use a board, you may also want to invest in a leash or cord to keep your board from floating too far away if you lose hold of it.
2. Catching a Wave
2-1. Walk out deep enough into the ocean that you’re past the breaking point.
To catch a good wave, you need to get on it when it starts to swell and ride it through until it breaks. The water should be between your waist and chest so that you can help launch yourself onto the wave by pushing off with your feet.
If you have fins, they can help you catch waves if you’re deeper out.
2-2. Face the beach and start swimming while the wave is still 10 to 15 feet (3.0 to 4.6 m) away.
Let waves pass by until you see one that you feel comfortable surfing. Once you see it, turn toward the beach, push off the ocean floor with your feet, and start front crawling and kicking to build up speed.
If you’re using a bodyboard, you’ll position it under your chest at this point while paddling forward.
2-3. Straighten your arms and your body as the wave crests.
When you feel the wave beneath you, stop kicking your feet. Point one or both of your arms forward and straighten your torso and legs so your entire body is in line. As the wave carries you, straighten your body in a horizontal line and keep your head and shoulders out of the water in front of the wave. Let your legs tilt up so your body is at a slant—this position will help your body propel forward.
Try to keep your head and shoulders lower than your legs to get a faster forward momentum.
2-4. Ride into shore with both of your arms stretched out in front of you.
If you’re a beginner, this is a really good way to get a feel for how to move your body, what the wave feels like, and how to point yourself toward the beach. Do your best to keep your arms straight out in front of you so you can ride the wave for as long as possible.
Remember, it’s totally okay if it takes a while for you to successfully body surf. It’s a hard sport that requires a lot of endurance and practice.
2-5. Aim your body more efficiently by putting one arm out behind you.
Once you know a little bit more about the technique behind body surfing, you can try steering your body and hopefully getting a little more speed in each ride. Keep one arm out in front of you to help guide your body, and put the other arm behind you in the water. Use it as a kind of rudder by moving it back and forth to change your direction so your body stays in line with the cresting of the wave.
Always keep one hand in front of you—it can help protect your head if you head toward rocky land or get pushed underwater toward the seabed.
2-6. Exit the wave by pushing a shoulder back through the wave.
Anytime you want to leave the wave, whether you’re feeling uncomfortable or see something you want to avoid, try pushing one of your shoulders backward to cut through the wave. This should bring you out the other side without forcing water up your nose.
Remember, you will only get better with practice! It may be hard at the beginning, but everyone, even the experts, had to start somewhere.
3. Staying Safe
3-1. Make sure you’re in good shape and know how to swim well.
Body surfing requires a lot of physical endurance. Exercise your arms, shoulders, and legs to build up those important muscles, and do regular cardio activities to get your body used to longer bouts of movement.
If you don’t know how to swim, you need to learn before trying to body surf.
Swim as much as you can and add squats, push-ups, and planks to your workout regimen.
Not only will being in good shape help you enjoy body surfing more, but it will also help keep you safe while you’re in the water.
3-2. Learn how to breathe while you swim to reserve your energy.
If you’re getting out of breath or worried about breathing while coasting on a wave, you’ll have less energy for the task at hand. Go swimming a few times before body surfing and practice exhaling while your head is underwater and inhaling through your mouth when your head is above water.
Breathing well while surfing will give your body extra energy.
3-3. Choose a sandy, well-populated beach with gentler waves.
If you’re a beginner, choose a beach with waves that are less than 4 feet (1.2 m) high, and look for a location with a gentle slope. If a beach is deserted, take that as a warning that there is something dangerous about the conditions or landscape.
Ask other surfers or look on surfing forums to get a feel for the normal wave break at various beaches in your area.
3-4. Read surf reports and pick a safe time to head out in the water.
These reports, which are easily found online, can tell you vital information, such as wave heights and weather forecasts. You may also want to learn about rip tides and how to escape if you get caught in one.
Picking the right time to body surf can make a huge difference in how enjoyable your experience will be. Don’t rush if the weather forecast is bad; always put your safety first.
3-5. Avoid big waves while you’re just learning how to body surf.
Keep in mind that whatever you see from a standing position will look twice as tall once you’re swimming forward. Stick to waves that are between 1 to 4 feet (0.30 to 1.22 m). Also, steer clear of waves that crash close to the shore—these could throw you against the seabed and potentially hurt you.
Before you get in the water, study the waves for a little while before walking in. Even once you’ve entered the ocean, stand still for a few minutes until the right wave comes along. There’s no rush!
3-6. Study the conditions of the ocean before heading out into the water.
If there is increased shark activity at a certain beach, you’ll want to know about it in advance. Likewise, if a storm has brought in new hazardous wood or rocks, that could make for a dangerous situation.
If you’re unsure whether it’s safe to surf and the surf reports aren’t up to date, call the lifeguard association in your area. They’ll know which beaches are currently hazardous and may be able to recommend a safer alternative.
Tips
Body surfing burns nearly 200 calories an hour, making it a great way to exercise and get some endorphins pumping through your body.[17]

Ask for advice from other body surfing enthusiasts. There’s a huge community of people you can connect with to gets tips and pointers.
Warnings
Always put safety first. If a wave is too big, don’t try to ride it. If you aren’t dressed for the water temperature, don’t risk surfing without a wetsuit.
Don’t body surf if sharks have been spotted in that area.[18]

How to Bodyboard
|
1. Getting Started
1-1. Put safety first.
If you want to be able to body board, then you should already be a good swimmer. You'll need to use a lot of the techniques you use for swimming to propel your board, and furthermore, you'll need to be a good swimmer to swim without your board if you wipe out. Additionally, you should only try bodyboarding if you know that the sea conditions are safe and that there's a lifeguard on duty. You should try bodyboarding with a friend or an instructor instead of by yourself. Once you get more comfortable with it, you can go at it alone.
1-2. Get a leash.
You'll need to attach the leash to your upper arm. This will prevent you from losing the board when you wipe out. Attach the strap to your upper arm tightly, but loosely enough so that your arm is still comfortable. The leash will keep your arm and the board secured together.
1-3. Get a wetsuit or a rash guard.
If you're swimming in colder water, you'll need a wet suit to keep your body warm. A rash guard will also do, keeping your body from getting irritated while you're bodyboarding, and protecting you from the sun. They are made of Lycra and can also be worn under your wetsuit to keep chafing or rubbing to a minimum.
1-4. Get fins and fin socks.
Get some fins with tethers and attach the tethers firmly to your ankles. You'll need fins to help you kick with higher speed, making it easier for you to catch a wave. You should also consider getting a pair of fin socks to wear under your fins, to add an extra layer of warmth and comfort for your feet.
1-5. Practice the correct position.
Before you try to catch a wave, you should have a strong sense of how you should be positioned on the board. Get in the sand and lie on the board with your hands at the top (nose) of the board, and the back (tail) of the board under your lower belly. Keep your weight centered on the board. Once you're in this position, you can practice paddling. Paddle your hands at the side of the board, like you're scooping water towards you, or as if you're doing the free stroke in swimming. Kick your feet under the water for the best propulsion and faster movement while bodyboarding.
1-6. Walk into the water.
Walk into the water with your board until it's about knee deep. Lift your feet high with every step to avoid getting stuck. You should start looking for white water waves that go straight into the beach.
2. Catching a Wave
2-1. Paddle out.
Once you've gotten past knee-deep into the water, get on the board in the correct position and start paddling out, toward the waves. Use the paddling motion with your hands and kick with both your feet just below the water's surface for the strongest propulsion. The nose of the board should be about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) above water.
2-2. Find your wave.
If you're just starting out, you should avoid any waves that are too high and fast, or generally out of your comfort zone. Pick waves that are headed straight toward the beach and that won't make you travel too high or too fast. Once you've found your wave, you should turn toward the beach and start kicking toward it, waiting to be brought forward by the current of the wave. The wave should be steep enough to move you forward, but it has to not have broken yet.
To improve your chances of finding a good wave, look out for the place where most of the waves are breaking. You should wait for the waves about 5-10 feet beyond that location.
2-3. Get close to the wave.
Once the wave is just five or so feet behind you, you should start kicking as hard as you can while paddling hard. You can also lean forward to gain some extra speed and to make sure you've really got a hold of the wave. Some people prefer not to paddle with both hands, but to keep one hand on the board and to paddle with the other to maintain more control.
If you want to move to the right, you can hold the board's nose with your right hand and paddle with your left hand; if you want to move to the left, then you can hold the board's nose with your left hand and paddle with your right hand.
2-4. Travel down the face of the wave.
You should feel yourself traveling faster as the wave approaches you. If you want some extra speed, you can push down the nose of your board slightly to move even faster. If the wave is moving too fast for your comfort, then you can do the opposite, pushing the nose up an inch or two to get some friction and slow yourself down. Continue to kick your feet as you travel down the face of the wave. You can also lean slightly into the wave to improve your speed.
You can also choose to go right or left here. To go left, lean your hips toward the left side of the board and place your left elbow on the upper left side deck of the board, while holding onto the upper right edge of your board with your free hand. To go right, do the opposite.
2-5. Ride the wave until you reach the shallow part of the ocean.
This is considered anywhere that is below knee-deep. You can step out of the ocean and take a break, or go right in and catch another wave. You're free to keep on riding waves as long as you don't feel cold or tired. Once you've caught your first wave, the fun has just begun!
As you ride the wave, remember that your goal should be to achieve "trim," which means the point where your board is riding flat on the surface with as much speed as possible. You'll need to work on leaning forward enough to gather momentum, but not so much that your board doesn't go under. This will reduce your drag and will give you more breathing room.
3. Going the Extra Mile
3-1. Learn the wave terminology.
Understanding the different parts of a wave will help you develop skills and learn tricks, because you'll know what to look out for. Here are the parts of a wave that you should know:
The lip. The breaking part of a wave that moves from top to bottom. The steepness of the wave determines the shape of the lip.
Whitewater. This is the part of the wave that has already broken.
The face. The unbroken, walling part of the wave.
The shoulder. The part of the wave that is just outside the breaking section of the wave's face.
Flats. The flat water you see in front of the breaking wave.
Tube. The hollow hole between the throwing lip and the wall of the wave.
3-2. Learn the parts of the board.
You'll need to know what the different parts of the board are so you can follow along and learn a number of skills and tricks. Here's what you'll need to know:
The deck. The part of the board where you lie down.
Slick bottom. The bottom of the board that has a smooth or slick surface.
The nose. The front of the board that you hold.
The nose bulbs. These are the small bumps on each corner of the board that you will hold with your hands.
The bumpers. The extra foam layer that runs through the nose and tail, helping to keep the slick bottom from peeling.
The rail. The side of the bodyboard.
The tail. The back end of the board.
The channels. The areas on the bottom of the board that reduce drag and speed you up.
The stringer. The rod that keeps the board stiff.
The template. The shape of the board.
The rocker. The level of flatness of the bodyboard.
3-3. Do the Forward Spin 360°.
This is one of the first tricks you will learn once you've mastered the basics of catching a wave. To do the Forward Spin 360° correctly, you'll have to make a full circle on the wave in one smooth motion. Here's how you do it:
Focus on the direction you want to turn.
Turn back up the wave face in that direction.
As you turn, release your inside rail by sliding your weight forward toward the nose of your board.
Keep your board flat on the surface of the wave to reduce the drag.
Keep your legs raised and crossed as you turn.
Once you've turned a full circle, slide back on your board and center your weight again, continuing to ride.
3-4. Do the Cut-Back.
This is another one of the first trick tricks you'll learn. The Cut Back is the easiest way to set up your board closer to the power zone of the wave, which is close to where the lip of the wave is breaking. Here's what you do:
Move faster toward the shoulder section (the part just outside the breaking section of the face) of the wave, picking a point where you'll get enough time to start a rounded slow turn.
Begin the rounded slow turn while leaning your board and shifting your weight to the inside rail of the board, starting to cut a path with the edge of the board.
Keep both hands near the nose of the board, on either rail.
Use your arms to pull, creating a smooth arc.
Push down with your hips while extending your legs, to help maintain your balance.
Once the wave catches up to you, center your weight again and continue riding the wave.
3-5. Do the "El Rollo."
This is another trick for relative newcomers to bodyboarding. You can do this trick in any size wave. To do the "El Rollo," you have to travel down the wave and do a full flip with your board, using the strength of the wave to carry you in an arc. Here's how you do it:
Drive off the bottom of the wave, focusing on the breaking lip ahead.
Move up towards the lip of the wave.
Use the wave's power to throw you out with the lip into a perfect arc.
Let the wave move you in a roll while you steer the board and work on finding a place to land it.
As you drop down, you need to center your weight above your board, bracing your hands, arms, and elbows to absorb the downward fall. This takes some of the pressure off your back.
Try to land horizontally in the whitewater, not in the flats.
3-6. Learn to duck dive.
This is more of a skill than a trick, which allows you to get your board under a breaking wave that you don't want to catch. It helps you get through all the whitewash towards the waves you do want to catch. Once you get it right, you'll be able to get to the line-up, or the waves, much more quickly. Here's what you have to do:
Paddle toward the wave to pick up more speed.
When the wave is about 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) away from you, slide forward and grab the rails of the board, about 10 inches (30 cm) down from the nose.
Push the nose of the board under the surface by arching your back and pushing down on the nose with your hands. Get as deep under the water as you can.
Use your knees on the deck, near the tail, to keep it moving down and forward.
Dive underneath the wave, pulling your body closer to your board.
As the wave passes over you, move your weight back toward your knees, lifting the nose of your board up and out the back of the wave, until you move toward the surface of the water.
3-7. Learn to stall.
Stalling is an important skill for any bodyboarder to have. You can use stalling to brake in a number situations, such as when you need to slow down the tubing section of a wave. Here are the two ways to do it:
Drag your legs in the water to slow you down, or move your hips more to the inside rail of the board.
Pull up on the nose of the board while applying downward pressure on the tail with your hips. Hold the board at a downward angle of about 30-45° until you reach the speed you want.
When you finish stalling, slide up on the board to pick up speed and then set your rail and continue moving forward.
Tips
Learn basic surfing etiquette before you head out.
Don't get frustrated; it takes a while.
If you are going left, put your left hand on the front of the board and your right on the side rail, and vice versa if you are going right.
Warnings
Don't hit the reef/sand bank.

How to Bodysurf
|
1. Scouting the Surf
1-1. Find a good spot for bodysurfing.
Look for local beaches that don't get very crowded: you'll need a bit of space to properly bodysurf, and you don't want to worry about knocking over any unsuspecting beachgoers. Choose a soft, sandy beach with a gradual slope. Avoid jagged rocks, tide pools, and shallow swaths of seaweed. Begin bodysurfing on a day when the waves are substantial enough to propel you along (1-3 feet) but not so large that they drag you under.
As you improve, you might learn to bodysurf confidently in more dangerous conditions. Start with small waves and sandy bottoms until you get the motions down. If a swell drags you along a rocky bottom, you might be seriously injured.
Check waves online. Run a web search for "swells at [local beach]" or "surf conditions [your area]". Visit Surfline.com, Surf-forecast.com, or another site.
1-2. Watch the waves.
Get out into the water and watch where the waves break. The best time to catch a wave is right before it begins to crest (crash.) Wade out into the water and get into position so that you are prepared to catch the waves right where they crest. Gauge the height and the power of the surf, and make sure that you're confident surfing here.
You should be facing away from shore while you're watching the swells. When the time comes to catch a wave, you'll spin to face the shore so that you can ride the surge in.
Make sure that there are no rocks or other obstacles in the way of your ride – above or below the water.
1-3. Wait for the perfect wave.
Most of the waves that come your way will not be ideal for bodysurfing. Get used to diving under or floating over the waves that come. The most graceful way is usually to dive deep into the space beneath the crest of the oncoming wave. This way, you will pass through the wave without taking any of its force.
If the waves are small enough, you can just jump over the crests or let them knock you around a bit. Try to take the opportunity to practice "diving deep" into the waves.
If you don't dodge the bad ones correctly, you'll get rolled by waves faster than you'd think. If you take a pounding from the waves: get into the "safe zone," which is the area further out to sea beyond where the waves are breaking. Alternately, simply swim to shore and get out of the water to take a break.
2. Catching a Wave
2-1. Spin and paddle hard.
When you see a wave that you like, spin around to face the shore so that the wave is coming at your back. Start swimming as hard as you can. Time it so that you start paddling just before the wave reaches you. You want to be moving about as fast as the wave in order to stay above the water and ensure a good ride.
Use a freestyle or crawl stroke for maximum speed here. Use your arms to generate some forward motion and establish a bit of control in the water.
2-2. Ride the wave.
Keep paddling hard as you feel the water swell around you, pick you up, and carry your forward. Steer with your arms and kick with your feet. Pump your feet as quickly and powerfully as you can to keep up your momentum. If you are swimming fast enough, then you should wind up on top of the wave. Let it carry you to shore.
Consider the "Superman" pose. Keep your body rigid with your arms held straight out in front of you. This can be a good way to pick up speed, although you won't be able to steer. Many beginning bodysurfers get dragged under and tumbled while trying this move.
Keep kicking and paddling to ride the wave for as long as possible. After the crest, the wave will gradually peter out until it cannot maintain the force to carry you any further. If you are swimming hard, you can prolong your ride.
2-3. Get up when you can.
The wave will carry you until there is insufficient force to sweep you along. If you're bodysurfing on a beach with a gradual, sandy slope, then you may find yourself laying belly-down in the shallows of the shore. As the wave slows down, you should be able to exercise a bit more control over your direction. Stand up and get out of the way of the next wave!
3. Bodysurfing with Others
3-1. Don't bodysurf alone.
Ride waves with certified lifeguards around, especially when you are first learning. Bodysurf with a friend or family member, whenever possible, so that you have someone looking out for you if anything goes wrong.
3-2. Always follow surf etiquette.
Scan your surroundings before you try to catch a wave. Make sure that there's no one in your way, and that you aren't in anyone else's way. If someone else is already riding a wave, then it's up to you to get out of the way. Don't try to "drop in" on anybody. This applies to board surfing as well as bodysurfing.
To get out of the way of someone who's already surfing: paddle hard in a direction perpendicular to the person's path. Dive deep under the water if you can't get out of the way in time.
3-3. Watch and ask for help.
Go bodysurfing with a friend or family member who already knows how. Don't be too proud to ask for help! If you don't want to ask, then you can at least watch other people catch waves. Keep an eye on their form and their timing. Try to copy their motions until you get it right.
Watch videos of people bodysurfing. Search the Internet for bodysurfing videos to get a feel for the process of catching a wave.
Tips
For a fast ride, or in crowded areas, swim straight toward the beach with the wave. For longer rides, if there aren't a lot of people around, try body surfing across the wave at about a 45-degree angle to the beach. It'll make your ride much longer.
Many experienced body surfers use special flipper fins to gain extra speed and control while bodysurfing.
It is rumored that is it is good luck to wave your hands in the water while waiting-almost like shooing a fly.
Warnings
Be wary of shore breaks. When the wave breaks right at the shoreline, and you catch it for a ride, it will be a short one! You may get stuffed right into the sand.
If a wave crashes before it reaches you, dive underneath it and away from the beach. If you try to ride it, be warned that you could get tossed around pretty bad. Even small waves have a lot of power to knock you around.

How to Boil Artichokes
|
1. Preparing the Artichokes
1-1. Rinse the artichokes in cold water.
Washing an artichoke should be done right before cooking, not before storing. Washing an artichoke before storing can make it spoil faster.
Store fresh, unwashed artichokes in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep an eye on them, and if leaves start to spread, cook them immediately.
1-2. Slice the stems off of the artichokes.
Use a very sharp knife to either slice the whole stem off at the base, or keep most of the stem but just cut the end off.
If you don’t have a really sharp knife, use a serrated knife.
The artichoke’s stem is edible, so you can simply cut the very end off of it and then cook and eat it with the rest of artichoke.
1-3. Cut the tops off of the artichokes.
Only remove the top inch of each artichoke, slicing evenly across. Be careful not to cut too far down, or you’ll risk losing some of the best edible parts of the artichoke.
Rub the cut parts of each artichoke with a lemon. Be sure to use lemon on all the cut tops and bottoms to prevent browning.
1-4. Snip the tops off of the outer leaves.
Use sharp kitchen scissors to remove the top 1/2 inch of each leaf. Only remove the spiny, pointed tops from the leaves.
Once you've snipped the leaves, rub each one with more lemon.
2. Cooking the Artichokes
2-1. Fill a pot half full with water and bring it to a boil.
Set the stove on high heat and salt the water liberally.
Setting the stove on high heat encourages the water to boil faster.
Salting the cooking water helps to flavor the artichokes while they boil.
2-2. Add the artichokes to the boiling water.
Place them in the pot and then let the water come back up to a boil.
Adding the artichokes will cool the water temporarily and slow the boiling, so let water come back up to a boil for just a moment.
2-3. Lower the heat to a simmer.
Cover the artichokes and leave them to cook for 20-30 minutes. If you cut the whole stem off of each artichoke, you'll need to weigh the artichokes down in the pot.
To weight the artichokes down, use a small lid or an inverted plate that fits inside of the pot. This will keep the artichokes from bobbing up out of the water and cooking improperly.
2-4. Test the tenderness of the artichokes.
They are ready when you can easily remove a leaf from the middle.Use a fork or the point of your knife to remove the center leaf.
Be careful when testing the artichokes, as they have been sitting in hot water and can burn you.
You can also check for tenderness by poking the base of an artichoke with your knife.
2-5. Remove the artichokes from the water.
Once they’ve been removed, drain them in a colander and plate them for serving.
Season the artichokes however you wish. Peel the leaves off to eat one by one, or cut the artichoke heart out.
Serve the artichoke leaves and hearts with a delicious drawn butter or a flavorful sauce.
3. Choosing the Right Artichoke
3-1. Select an artichoke at right time of year.
Artichokes are at their best in Spring. The peak season for artichokes is from March to May, so you’ll find the freshest ones in those three months.
Look for the right coloring. A fresh artichoke will be a nice, deep green shade.
A few brown spots are okay, but the artichoke should generally look very fresh and green.
3-2. Check the leaves.
A good artichoke should have tight, vibrant green leaves. Loose or dry leaves mean that the artichoke isn’t in the best shape.
Squeeze the leaves against each other, and they should make a squeaking sound if the artichoke is good.
3-3. Feel the weight and shape of the artichoke.
It should feel plump and a bit heavier than it looks.
A smaller artichoke will be more tender than a larger one, while a rounder artichoke will have a bigger heart than a more narrow one.

How to Boil Baby Bottles
|
1. Using a Pot of Water on a Stove
1-1. Wash the bottles
Before you boil the bottles, wash them using warm water, dish soap, and a bottle brush. Clean all the bottles, nipples, and lids. Then, rinse the bottles and their parts in cool or warm water to get all of the soap off.
You can also place the bottles into your dishwasher to clean them before you boil them.
1-2. Fill a large pot about 2/3 full with water and place the bottles in it.
A large stockpot works best for boiling bottles. Make sure that the pot is clean, and then fill it about 2/3 of the way full with tap water. Submerge the bottles in the water completely and angle them so they are upside down.
Make sure that there are no pockets of air trapped inside of the bottles causing them to float above the surface. All of the bottles should be fully submerged. However, it’s okay if the other parts of the bottles are floating in the water since they are smaller and will move around more easily.
You may need to add a little more or less water to your pot depending on how deep it is. Just make sure that you can fully submerge the bottles in the water.
1-3. Turn on the burner on medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Bringing the water to a boil may take around 15 to 20 minutes or longer depending on the size of your pot.
Check the water every 5 minutes or so to see when it starts boiling.
1-4. Keep the water boiling for 10 minutes.
Once the water starts to boil, set a timer for 10 minutes. Keep the heat on medium-high and let the water boil for a full 10 minutes.
If any of the bottles or parts start to float on the surface of the water, use a clean metal or wooden spoon to gently push them back under.
1-5. Turn off the heat and place the bottles on a clean, dry dishcloth.
Use a pair of tongs to carefully remove each of the bottles from the water. Pour the water in the bottles back into the pot as you pull them out. Place each of the bottles and their parts on a clean, dry dishcloth to dry.
Invert the bottles on the dishcloth or mat to help them dry faster.
You can also place the bottles and parts onto a bottle drying mat or rack if you have one.
The bottles will take around 1 hour to dry completely.
2. Boiling Bottles in the Microwave
2-1. Check to ensure that it is safe to boil your bottles in the microwave.
Not all bottles are microwave-safe, so check the manufacturer’s instructions for sterilizing before you microwave your bottles and any bottle parts, such as nipples and lids. There may be special guidelines you need to follow, or a special kit that is recommended for sterilizing in the microwave.
For example, your bottles may be microwave-safe, but the nipples might not be. Or, you might need to use a special steam bag to sterilize bottles in the microwave.
2-2. Wash the bottles and parts with warm soapy water.
Clean the bottles and bottle parts with a bottle brush, warm water, and dish soap. Then, rinse the bottles and parts with warm or cool water to remove all of the soap.
Note that you can also clean the bottles in a dishwasher before you boil them in the microwave.
2-3. Fill the bottles halfway with tap water and place them in the microwave.
Arrange the bottles so that they are upright and evenly spaced. Also, make sure that the turntable you set them on is level.
To ensure that all of the bottles get the same amount of heat, you may want to arrange them in a circle on the turntable.
2-4. Run the microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
Watch the water through the door to see when it begins to boil. If it is not boiling by the time the minute is up, then add another 30 seconds. Once the water boils, let the microwave run for another 5 seconds and then shut it off.
For example, if the water boils at 1 minute and 20 seconds, then you could let it go for another 5 seconds and then shut the microwave off at 1 minute and 25 seconds.
2-5. Leave the bottles in the microwave to cool for 10 minutes.
After you shut off the microwave, leave the bottles in there for another 10 minutes. This will allow the hot water and steam to penetrate the bottles and also make it safer for you to you remove them.
Be cautious even after letting the water cool for 10 minutes! It may still be quite hot when you handle the bottles.
2-6. Put on oven mitts and carefully dump out the remaining water.
After you have allowed the bottles to cool in the microwave for 10 minutes, take them out 1 at a time. Grasp 1 bottle with the oven mitt and carefully dump the remaining water into the sink.
Repeat this for all of the bottles.
2-7. Let the bottles air dry on a clean, dry dishcloth.
Place the bottles upside down on a clean, dry dishcloth. Let them dry in this position for about 1 hour or until no water is visible on them. Once the bottles are dry, they are sterilized and ready to use!
3. Knowing When to Boil Bottles
3-1. Boil bottles once before the first use if the bottles are new or secondhand.
If you have clean drinking water and your baby does not have any health concerns, then you only need to boil your baby’s bottles before the first use. After that, you can wash them by hand or in your dishwasher after each use. This is true whether the bottles are brand new or you got them secondhand.
Remember to wash the bottles first, and then boil them in a pot of water or in the microwave to sanitize them.
3-2. Sanitize your baby’s bottles in boiling water daily for health reasons.
If you only want to sanitize your baby’s bottles before the first use, then you will only have to boil them 1 time. However, you may need to boil your baby’s bottles before each use in certain situations. These include:
If your baby has been sick.
If your baby has health issues or was born prematurely.
If you don’t have clean drinking water on tap.
3-3. Stop boiling bottles if you notice any damage to the bottles or parts.
If the bottles or parts start to warp, crack, or show other signs of damage after boiling them, then do not continue to boil them and discard the damaged bottles and parts. Not all bottles will hold up well against repeated boiling, so pay close attention to any changes to the bottles or their parts.
Tips
Always wash and dry your hands before handling your baby’s bottles! This will help to ensure that they stay clean and sterilized until your baby needs them.[20]

How to Boil Beets
|
1. Cleaning and Trimming Your Beets
1-1. Choose beets that are roughly the same size to ensure that they cook evenly.
Pick out a few beets that are a suitable size for the dish you'll be using them in. Bigger beets typically take longer to cook than smaller ones. Using different-sized specimens will therefore make it harder to achieve a consistent texture.
You can boil beets of any size. However, medium-sized beets tend to work best, as they offer the best balance between heartiness and cook time.
Pass up beets with noticeable bruises or blemishes or dry, wrinkly-looking skin. These are usually indications that they’re past their prime.
1-2. Cut the leafy stalks off of the top of your beets.
Lay your beets out on a cutting board one at a time and use a sharp knife to slice off the lush greens growing out of the upper end. Leave about ⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of the stalk intact to avoid cutting into the beetroot itself.
Raw beets can be tough, which means you may need to apply quite a bit of pressure to get your knife all the way through. Be sure to watch your fingers!
If you like, you can save your beet greens and use them in other dishes. Beet greens can be prepared much like spinach, kale, collards, and other greens.
1-3. Slice off the roots protruding from the bottom of the beets.
Once you've removed the stalks, turn your beets around and do the same for the long, tendril-like feeler root on the lower portion of the vegetable. Make your cut right around the point where the bulbs taper so as not to waste any of the juicy, nutritious meat.
You can skip this step if your beets came pre-trimmed.
This part of the beet is technically edible, though it isn't very good on its own due to its tough, stringy texture. However, it could make a flavorful addition to a homemade vegetable stock.
1-4. Scrub your beets with a vegetable brush to remove excess dirt and debris.
Run the head of the brush lightly over the outer surface of each beet using short, sweeping motions. Focus on spots that are heavily caked with dirt or sediment. Place the clean beets in a bowl, or set them on a layer of folded paper towels or another sanitary surface.
Try not to scrub your beets too hard. Damaging the skin could cause some of their color, flavor, and nutrient contents to leach out into the boiling water.
Beets grow in the ground, so it’s important to make sure that they’re nice and clean before cooking with them.
1-5. Rinse your beets thoroughly with cool, clean water.
Turn on the faucet and run each beet under the stream, using the pads of your fingers to loosen any lingering dirt. When working with large batches, place your beets in a colander or wire strainer so that you can rinse them all at once.
If you're a stickler for cleanliness, you can also soak your beets in a bowl full of water for around 5 minutes. Add ⁄4 cup (59 mL) of vinegar or lemon juice to help kill bacteria.
2. Cooking Your Beets
2-1. Place your beets at the bottom of a pot or saucepan.
A standard 1.5–2 qt (1.4–1.9 L) saucepan should be big enough to cook 1-4 individual servings at one time. For larger batches, you’ll need to upsize to a medium-sized pot, stockpot, or Dutch oven to make sure there's enough room for all of the beets you're preparing.
Whatever piece of cookware you use should be big enough to hold all of the beets you plan on boiling, plus an equal volume of water.
Spreading out your beets a bit will allow the heat of your boiling water to better circulate between them.
2-2. Fill the pot with enough water to completely cover the beets.
There’s no need to measure out a precise amount of liquid. Just turn on the faucet and let it run into your pot until the water sits 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) above the top of your beets.
Don’t overfill your pot. Doing so will cause all that water to take much longer to heat up. You’ll also burn a lot of unnecessary energy trying to maintain the optimal cooking temperature.
2-3. Add 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of vinegar or lemon juice to prevent bleeding.
Use a measuring cup or spoon to portion out your acid of choice, then dump it into the pot with your boiling water. It will help lock in the beets’ natural juices as they cook. As a result, they’ll come out perfectly soft, tender, and flavorful.
Double the amount of acid you add for every additional ⁄2 gallon (1.9 L) of water in your pot.
2-4. Bring the water in your pot to a boil.
Set the pot on one of the eyes of your stove and switch on the cooktop to medium-high or high heat. Allow the water to heat up until it reaches a full, rolling boil. This should take around 8-10 minutes, depending on the total volume of your pot.
Putting a lid on the pot will prevent excess heat from escaping, which in turn will help the water boil faster.
2-5. Reduce the heat and simmer the beets for 30-45 minutes.
As soon as your water begins boiling, turn the temperature down to low-medium heat. Let the beets simmer at this decreased heat setting for around half an hour, or until they reach the desired doneness. Come back and give your beets a stir periodically to keep the heat evenly distributed throughout your pot.
Be sure to leave the lid on the pot the whole time it’s on the stove. Otherwise, the temperature of the water will drop and your cook time will increase.
Especially large beets or those that have been in cold storage may need closer to an hour to cook all the way through.
2-6. Use a knife to check whether your beets are done.
Remove the lid from the pot, reach in carefully, and jab one of the boiled beets with the tip of your knife. If it pierces easily, it’s time for them to come off of the stove. If it still feels tough, leave them on the stove for another 10-15 minutes to soften them up.
Choose a knife with a long blade to avoid burning your hand. It may also be a good idea to slip on an oven mitt if there’s a lot of steam escaping from the pot.
3. Peeling Boiled Beets
3-1. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
Run cold water into the bowl, then add a couple handfuls of ice cubes. Place the bowl on the countertop next to your stove. You’ll be using it as an ice bath to quickly cool the boiled beets.
A spacious serving or mixing bowl will work well for this purpose, but you could also fill up the sink itself if you're working with a large quantity of beets or don't have a suitable container handy.
3-2. Transfer the beets to the ice bath using a slotted spoon or pair of tongs.
Once your beets are fully cooked, switch off the cooktop and remove the pot from the hot eye. Scoop the beets out of the hot cooking liquid with your spoon or tongs one-by-one and deposit them in the bowl of ice water.
Alternatively, you can dump the entire contents of the pot into a colander or wire strainer before transferring the drained beets to the ice bath.
You also have the option of simply emptying the boiling pot and rising your beets with cold water if you’d rather not go to the trouble of chilling them.
3-3. Let the beets cool in the ice bath for 2-3 minutes.
Plunging your freshly-boiled beets into ice water will instantly kill their residual heat and stop them from cooking them any further. The drastic change in temperature will also loosen up the connection between the skin and the meat, making them a breeze to peel.
You may need to chill your beets in batches, depending on the quantity you’ve cooked. Be sure to refill your bowl with fresh water and ice after each batch.
3-4. Peel the loose skin off of your beets by hand.
At this point, the tough skin will have softened enough to allow you to simply pull it away in large sections. Use the pad of your thumb or thumbnail to scrape away any stubborn clinging spots you happen to encounter.
It might be a good idea to pull on a pair of latex gloves before you begin peeling your beets to make sure that the flowing juice doesn’t stain your fingers.
Discard the skins immediately to avoid discoloring your clothes, countertops, floors, or other surrounding surfaces.
Tips
Serve your boiled beets as-is with a sprinkle of salt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a few sprigs of fresh parsley. You can also pickle them, use them to top a salad, add them to a gratin or casserole, or mash them with butter, milk, and salt the way you would potatoes.
Warnings
Beet juice stains fabrics and other materials very easily. Consider wearing an apron anytime you’re working with fresh beets.

How to Boil Blue Crab
|
1. Putting the Crabs to “Sleep”
1-1. Fill an empty sink or bucket with ice water.
Make sure whatever container you use is large enough to accommodate the crabs as well as the ice water. You want to have enough water and ice to ensure the crabs will be fully submerged.
1-2. Place the crabs into the ice bath using long metal tongs.
Crabs’ claws are sharp and, before you submerge them, the crabs are likely to be active. Be careful not to get pinched.
Submerging live crabs in ice water puts them into a dormant state. This makes the boiling process more humane and also makes it easier to place them into the pot to boil.
1-3. Leave the crabs to sit in the ice bath for 5-10 minutes.
This is enough time to put the crabs into their dormant state. Before you remove them, however, you’ll want to make sure that they are inactive.
Use long metal tongs to pull one crab out of the ice bath. If it is still moving around, put it back in and add more ice if necessary.
1-4. Remove the crabs from the ice bath only when you're ready to boil them.
You’ll want to make sure the crabs are still in a dormant state when you submerge them in boiling water, so it’s important to have your pot of water ready to go when you take them out of the ice bath.
2. Preparing and Seasoning the Water
2-1. Fill a large stockpot with water until it’s about ¾ full.
You don’t want to overcrowd the crabs, so it’s important to use enough water to submerge them with a little room to spare while they cook. A 5 or 6 gallon stockpot is ideal.
2-2. Add ½ cup of sea salt, 2 sliced lemons, and 3 tbsp of Old Bay seasoning.
Stir these ingredients in with the water. This will provide added flavor to the crab and the salt will also increase the boiling point of the water, helping to cook the crab more thoroughly.
You may also choose to add garlic, dill, paprika, cumin, and/or other spices.
2-3. Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
A rolling boil means you’ll see large, active bubbles on the surface of the water. You should also be able to stir the water without disturbing the boil.
You’ll want to keep this rolling boil going while you add the crabs and throughout the entire cooking process.
3. Cooking the Crabs
3-1. Lower the crabs headfirst into the water carefully to avoid splashing.
The best way to do this is to take the crabs out of the ice bath one by one using long metal tongs, and gently drop each one into the pot of boiling water. This process is much easier because the crabs are already in a dormant state.
Put the crabs in a boiling basket and lower it into the water. That way, it's easier to pull them all out when they're finished cooking.
3-2. Cover the pot and boil the crabs continuously for 15-20 minutes.
Keep the pot over high heat and avoid lifting the lid too often. This will help keep the water at a consistent rolling boil and help the crabs cook through.
3-3. Check the crabs to see if the shells are red and the meat is tender.
If you’re not sure if they’re done, pull one crab out and inspect it more closely. To check the meat, simply tear off a claw and crack it open.
3-4. Take the crabs out of the pot and put them in ice water for 5-10 minutes.
You’ll want to cool the crabs off as quickly as possible to make sure they don’t continue to cook in their shells after you’ve pulled them out.
You can use the same bucket or sink you used when you put the crabs to sleep. Simply add more ice, and then use tongs to transfer the crabs from the boiling water to the ice bath.
3-5. Remove the crabs from the ice water and drain them in a colander.
This will help remove any excess water. Gently shake the crabs to speed up this process.
3-6. Protect the table with a cloth and set out mallets and crushing tools.
You’ll also want to have meat-picking forks, bibs, plenty of napkins, and a bucket for discarding shell pieces. Crab is delicious, but can be a bit messy to eat.
If you’re in a casual setting, laying down newspaper can be a great way to protect your table and make cleaning up easier. If you’re in a more formal setting, you can always lay newspaper down under a fancier table cloth.
3-7. Serve the crab on a platter with melted butter or other dipping sauce.
Now that you’ve cooked and cleaned your crabs, it’s time to enjoy them!
If you want to serve your crab with a side or two, blue crab pairs well with french fries, coleslaw, roasted vegetables, salad, corn on the cob, and mashed or baked potatoes.
Warnings
You’ll want to be very careful anytime you’re handling live crabs. It’s a good idea to use long metal tongs to avoid getting pinched.
It’s important to cook crabs alive. Crab meat can spoil very quickly and you don’t want to get sick.[18]

How to Boil Broccoli
|
1. Cleaning and Cutting
1-1. Purchase fresh broccoli.
Look for broccoli that is uniformly green, without a lot of brown or yellow areas. Feel the stem and crown to make sure they are firm and not limp. Check that the florets are in a nice, tight bunch.
You can store raw broccoli in your refrigerator drawer for at least a week. However, its nutritional properties will begin to decline after three days.
1-2. Clean the broccoli with vinegar and water.
Fill a spray bottle with three parts water to one part white vinegar. Spray the broccoli well. Alternately, soak the broccoli in vinegar water before cooking it, which will also drive out any insects that may be in it. Rinse the vegetables under cold tap water.
You can wash produce with water alone, but using the diluted vinegar method first removes about 98% of surface bacteria.
To make rinsing easier, place the broccoli in a colander inside of a clean sink basin. Use the spray setting on your faucet to rinse the vegetables.
1-3. Cut the stalks away from the florets.
Use a sharp knife to cut through the vegetable stem about two inches below the crown. Break the crown apart into big florets. Slice each floret’s trunk to get bite-sized chunks.
Remove any damaged or wilted leaves.
If desired, save the stalks to add to stew, salad, or stir-fry.
You can leave the stalks on if your recipe calls for it. Just peel back and remove the outermost layer, which is tough to eat, with a knife or vegetable peeler.
2. Boiling
2-1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Pour enough water in a pot that it will completely submerge your broccoli. Add a sprinkle of salt to the water. Set the heat to high.
You can use regular table salt or sea salt.
If you’re unsure whether you’ll have enough water in the pot to cover the broccoli, you can put the broccoli in the pot and cover it with water. Then take it back out and set it aside.
2-2. Cook the stalks first.
Wait until the water has reached a rolling boil. If you want to cook the stalks, add them to the pot. Cook them for two minutes.
Broccoli stalks take longer to cook then florets.
2-3. Add the florets.
Lower the florets gently into the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Cook them in the pot with the stalks, if applicable, for four to five minutes. Don’t overcook them, or they will lose texture and taste.
The broccoli is done when it is tender enough to easily insert the tip of a knife.
2-4. Cool the vegetables.
Remove them with tongs or drain them with a heat-safe colander. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet. Allow it to cool down at room temperature.
If you believe you may have cooked the broccoli too long, you can place the baking sheet into your fridge to speed up the cooling process.
3. Blanching
3-1. Boil water.
Put a large pot of water over high heat. Add between a sprinkle and a tablespoon of salt to the water, if desired. Allow the pot of water to come to a boil.
Adding salt is optional. The advantage is that it will enhance the broccoli’s flavor. The disadvantage is that, over time, the sodium will cause the broccoli to be mushier.
3-2. Prepare an ice bath.
Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Use a container that is at least five quarts. Alternately, you can use a clean sink basin with a drain stopper.
Skipping this step will affect the color and texture of your broccoli.
3-3. Cook the broccoli in boiling water.
Lower the broccoli into the water with a slotted spoon. Let it cook for about three minutes.
3-4. Test the doneness with the tip of a sharp knife.
If the vegetable clings onto the knife, it’s not yet done. If the knife goes in and out with ease, the broccoli is done.
3-5. Plunge the broccoli into the ice bath immediately.
Take the broccoli out of the water with tongs or a slotted spoon. “Shock” it by putting it into the ice bath.
Shocking vegetables cooks them moderately, then cools them rapidly so they stay crunchy.
3-6. Leave the broccoli in the ice bath to cool.
Allow the broccoli to sit in the ice bath for about five minutes. Don’t remove the broccoli from the ice bath until it is entirely cool, or it will keep cooking from the inside out.
Tips
Blanching vegetables maintains more flavor and nutrients than fully boiling them. Blanch broccoli if you plant to freeze it.[20]

How to Boil Butternut Squash
|
1. Peeling and Cutting the Squash
1-1. Wash the squash thoroughly under cool or warm running water.
Rinse your butternut squash under the kitchen faucet. Rub it with your hands or a vegetable brush get any dirt or stickiness off.
You’ll be peeling the squash, but you should still wash it to remove any dirt or gunk on the skin that could get on your hands and get transferred to the pieces of squash flesh that you’re preparing.
1-2. Use a sharp chef’s knife to cut off both ends of your butternut squash.
Lay the squash on its side on a large cutting board and hold it steady. Cut the top stem end and the bottom base end off.
The top end of the squash is the narrower end and the flatter, wider end is the base.
You don’t have to cut off a lot from the ends. About ⁄4 in (0.64 cm) or so is fine.
1-3. Strip off the peel of the squash using a vegetable peeler.
Hold the squash steady on its side with one hand. Grab a vegetable peeler in your other hand and start peeling off the hard skin from top to bottom, all the way around the squash.
Make sure you peel off all the white-ish peel and are left with just the orange flesh underneath. You might have to go over some parts more than once to get all the skin off.
As an alternative to a vegetable peeler, you can use a sharp paring knife. Just be very careful not to cut towards your fingers or any other body parts.
1-4. Slice the neck off the base of the squash to expose the seeds.
Use your chef’s knife to cut horizontally across the squash where the skinny top meets the fat base. Cut off a bit more from the top of the base if you still don’t see the seeds.
Alternatively, stand the squash up on its bottom end and cut it in half straight down the middle to expose the seeds. Whatever works best for you is fine!
1-5. Scoop out the seeds from both halves using a metal spoon.
Plunge a soup spoon or other metal spoon into the stringy seed cavity. Scrape out all the seeds and stringy bits until you get down to the smooth flesh.
Discard the seeds or rinse them off and roast them for something to snack on.
1-6. Slice the squash up into approximately 2 in (5.1 cm) cubes.
Cut the neck and base in half vertically, then cut them into 2 in (5.1 cm) wide strips. Turn the strips and cut them crosswise into 2 in (5.1 cm) wide cubes.
You don’t have to make the cubes perfect. Just try to make the pieces about the same size so they cook evenly.
2. Cooking the Squash in Boiling Water
2-1. Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil.
Pick a pot that can easily hold all the cubed butternut squash without getting filled up more than halfway. Pour cold water into the pot until it is about half full, then put it on a burner over high heat and wait for it to boil.
You can use a soup pot or a Dutch oven for this. Anything that can hold enough boiling water to cover all the butternut squash will work just fine.
2-2. Put the squash in the boiling water and lower the temperature to medium.
Carefully transfer your cubes of butternut squash into the pot of boiling water. Reduce the temperature to medium until the water is simmering instead of fully boiling.
Be very careful not to splash boiling water on yourself. Stand back from the stove and slide the pieces in slowly or lower them into the boiling water with a slotted spoon.
2-3. Boil the squash for 10-20 minutes until it’s fork-tender.
Check the squash by poking a piece or two with a fork after 10 minutes. Keep checking the tenderness every 5 minutes or so and turn off the burner when the fork slides easily into the squash.
Don’t worry about overcooking the squash. It’s better to cook it for longer until all the pieces are very tender than to stop boiling it too soon and end up with undercooked pieces.
2-4. Strain the squash through a colander or mesh strainer.
Pour the contents of the pot out carefully through a strainer or colander over your kitchen sink. Shake the squash around a couple of times, then let it sit and drain for about 5 minutes to get rid of all the excess moisture.
Squash absorbs a lot of water when it's boiling. Draining it gets rid of the excess and prevents the it from getting too mushy or watery.
2-5. Combine the squash with other ingredients to prepare it.
Mash the tender pieces of squash together with butter, salt, and pepper using a fork to make a simple mashed butternut squash side dish. Or, use a blender to combine the squash with chicken or vegetable broth and aromatics like garlic, onions, olive oil, and herbs to make a soup.
You can use a food processor or hand mixer to puree boiled butternut squash instead of mashing it.
You can eat boiled butternut squash on its own, but it will taste pretty bland. If you want to eat it plain, try tossing squash with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Tips
Dishes made using boiled butternut squash go really well as a side with roasted birds, such as a roast chicken or turkey.[12]

Research source
Spices that pair nicely when you blend or mash them together with butternut squash are things like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. You can also try herbs like rosemary and thyme.[13]

Warnings
Butternut squash has a notoriously thick skin that sometimes requires more effort to peel than the average vegetable. Be extra careful when you’re peeling it not to slip and nick or cut yourself with the peeler or knife.

How to Boil Cabbage
|
1. Preparing the Cabbage
1-1. Peel off the outer leaves from the cabbage head.
Discard any leaves that look wilted, worn or discoloured. It's common practice to discard the outer leaves since it is the most exposed to dirt and damage.
1-2. Rinse the entire head of cabbage.
Rise it under a stream of cool water. It's extremely important that you rinse the cabbage thoroughly as most farms use pesticides and other insecticides to keep pests and diseases away from their crops.
Organic cabbages should not have been grown with any pesticides or insecticides added but it's still important to rinse and clean your cabbage to rid it of any dirt, insects, eggs, or sand that may still be on your cabbage.
You can also consider soaking your cabbage in saline water or plain water for 30 minutes to better clean it.
1-3. Cut your cabbage.
It is common to slice cabbage into wedges or into long, slim shreds but you can boil your cabbage in any form or shape you prefer.
Be sure to cut out the stem or centre of the cabbage.
Chop off any coarse stems that are at the bottom of the wedges you have cut.
1-4. Shred or chop your cabbage into the desired shape.
It is common to slice the cabbage wedges into long, slim shreds but you can boil your cabbage in any form or shape you prefer. You can also boil your cabbage in wedges.
Shred the cabbage on a cutting board by placing it flat side down. Slice as thick or as thin as you want the shreds to be.
Use a mandolin if you have one. This kitchen utensil will allow you to shred the cabbage by sliding it across a sharp blade
2. Boiling the Cabbage
2-1. Bring water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
The water should be about 3/4 of an inch (1.9 cm) deep or enough to place your cabbage in without overflowing.
Don't worry about having the exact volume of water as you'll be draining any excess water out.
Instead of water, you can use vegetable or meat stock to infuse flavour to your cabbage. Use liquid stock or mix powdered stock into your boiling water.
A small amount of vinegar, about 10 ml, added to the water can prevent the strong odor that many people find objectionable.
2-2. Add the cabbage to the boiling water.
Don't worry about overcrowding your pot. The cabbage will absorb the water and decrease dramatically in volume.
2-3. Cook uncovered at a simmer or gentle boil.
Shredded cabbage can cook for about 5 minutes and wedges will take 10 to 15 minutes to cook.
Keep an eye on the cabbage to ensure it does not overcook. Finished cabbage should become tender. Overcooked cabbage can release unpleasant flavours and aromas.
2-4. Remove the cabbage from the pot.
Use a slotted spoon, or pour it into a colander to get rid of the excess water.
If you've used stock to boil your cabbage, the water may be used again for soups or even to drink at its present stage.
2-5. Season the cabbage.
Since cabbage can be quite bitter, use salt to balance out its taste but don't add so much that the cabbage tastes salty.
3. Selecting Cabbage
3-1. Choose the type of cabbage that you'd like to eat.
Green cabbage is the most popular type of cabbage, but you can also boil red cabbage, savoy cabbage, Napa cabbage or the Chinese cabbage, bok choy.
The classic green cabbage has wide fan-like leaves that have a waxy rubber feel when raw. It has a sweet taste when cooked but can taste quite peppery when eaten raw. White cabbage is a type of green cabbage which is a bit mushier when cooked, so extra care needs to be taken of this variety during cooking, to keep it firm and flavorful.
It's known for its dark reddish-purple leaves and have a deeper flavour than green cabbage. It's often used for pickling and adding colour to dishes.
This cabbage has a softer and crinkly feel to it with deep greens and white veins. It's high in vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber and has a mild earthy taste to it.
This cabbage comes in an oblong shape and looks closely like romaine lettuce with its yellow greenish leaves and prominent white stems. It tastes much sweeter when raw than green cabbages.
A traditional Chinese cabbage, bok choy is light and peppery or bitter to taste. When cooked, the white stems remain crisp while its leaves become soft. It is also quite watery compared to most cabbages.
3-2. Buy a head of cabbage that is firm and compact.
You want leaves that are fresh and crisp, not wilted, brown or marked. The weight of the cabbage should also feel heavy for its size.
Wilted or damaged outer leaves usually indicate the cabbage is old or has been handled rather roughly.
The best time to harvest the freshest cabbage is during the summer. Cabbage tastes sweeter and better after frost as cabbage is usually grown in wet and cool conditions.
3-3. Try not to buy shredded or pre-cut cabbage.
While this may seem convenient, cabbage begins to lose its vitamin C and other nutrients as soon as it is cut.
Shredded or pre-cut cabbage may also be stored for long periods of time, depleting its taste.
Tips
Buy fresh cabbage up to 2 weeks before you intend to boil it. If you store it uncut in your refrigerator in a plastic bag with perforated holes, it will stay fresh.
Remember that boiled cabbage tends to have a strong odor. If you find the odor unpleasant, try adding a couple chunks of bread wrapped in cheesecloth to the water when you boil the cabbage. This might cut down on the strength of the smell.

How to Boil Carrots
|
1. Preparing the Carrots
1-1. Choose your carrots.
Stores usually sell carrots either in bunches with their green tops still on, loose with no greens, or in bags with no greens. Carrots with greens intact tend to be more expensive than carrots without their tops. Try to choose the freshest vegetables that you can.
Look for carrots that have a deep orange color. Carrot pigment fades with time, so paler vegetables tend to be older.
Avoid carrots with withered green tops, since they are no longer fresh.
Carrots with lots of cracks and little hairy rootlets growing out of them are old.
1-2. Wash your carrots.
Scrub them with a vegetable brush under running water. Make sure you remove all the dirt.
1-3. Peel the carrots, depending on your tastes.
Removing the tough outer layer of the carrot with a vegetable peeler makes it more tender, but it also takes away some of the carrot's nutrients and flavor. If you choose not to peel, make sure that your carrots are very thoroughly cleaned.
1-4. Cut the carrots.
If your carrots still have their green tops, chop them off. You can then either boil the carrots whole, or cut them into pieces of any size or shape.
Carrots cut into smaller pieces will cook faster. If you are pressed for time, cut your carrots into very small, evenly-sized pieces so that they all boil at the same rate.
On the other hand, the boiling process leeches some of the nutrients and flavor out of the carrots through their exposed surface area. Chopped up carrots have a larger exposed surface area, and lose more flavor and nutrients in the boiling process than uncut carrots. Cooking carrots whole helps to retain both the taste and the nutrient levels.
2. Cooking the Carrots
2-1. Bring water to boil.
Fill a pot with just enough water to cover the carrots. Avoid using too much water in order to minimize nutrient loss.
You can put some salt in the water if you want, which raises the water's boiling point and helps the carrots to cook faster while also adding more flavor.
2-2. Put the carrots in the water.
Once your water has begun boiling, add the carrots and cover them with the pot lid.
2-3. Cook the carrots until they are done to your satisfaction.
The cooking time depends on how big the pieces of carrot are, and how soft you want them to be. Check after five to ten minutes and continue boiling for longer, even up to half an hour, if the carrots are still too firm for your liking.
You can test doneness by spearing a piece of carrot with a fork. The tines should slide easily into the carrot.
2-4. Drain the carrots.
You can either pour the carrots out of the pot into a colander, or hold the lid firmly over the pot, leaving just a small opening at the edge, and drain the water out into the sink while keeping the carrots inside.
You might want to wear oven mitts to protect your hands from the hot steam.
3. Serving the Carrots
3-1. Serve them hot.
Your carrots will taste better if you eat them as soon as they are done cooking.
If you are not planning on eating your carrots immediately, try blanching them - just boiling them quickly for two to three minutes - and then quickly cooling them in ice. After you dry them off, you can store them in the freezer in freezer bags. This quick boiling will improve the texture when you thaw them.
3-2. Cut the carrots into smaller pieces.
If you have boiled your carrots whole or in large chunks, you might want to chop them, dice them, or julienne them for serving.
You can cut your carrots baton-style into sticks of any length you want.
Dice your carrots by cutting your batons into small cubes. Make sure all the pieces are equal sizes.
To do a julienne cut, take a whole carrot and cut a thin slice off one side to make a flat surface. This will keep the carrot steady. Put the carrot flat-side down and then cut it length-wise into very thin slices, no more than 1/8th of an inch thick. Pile all of your slices on top of each other and slice through them again to create thin pieces roughly the size of matchsticks.
3-3. Season your carrots with herbs or spices.
These add extra flavor to your dish. Salt, pepper, and garlic are all reliable seasonings for carrots and good standby options.
Thyme and parsley both pair very well with carrots.
Seasoning options are almost endless. Experiment with different flavors, such as tarragon.
3-4. Flavor your carrots with some liquid fats or acids.
This gives them another pop of flavor and prevents them from getting too dry. Drizzle the carrots with extra virgin olive oil or melt butter on them after they are cooked.
Try drizzling your carrots with a bit of balsamic vinegar. The tartness of the vinegar brings out the sweetness of the carrots.
3-5. Add a glaze.
This is a flavorful, usually sweet, coating on food. It is a great way to give carrots more flavor, and can tempt even picky eaters into trying your dish.
For a simple glaze, melt butter in a sauce pan and stir in sugar and a pinch of salt until they have dissolved. Put the cooked carrots into the mixture and cook them in it for about five minutes until they are covered in the glaze.
Experiment with different ingredients in your glaze. Try replacing sugar with maple syrup, for instance. Add some herbs, ginger, or citrus zest to give the glaze an extra pop of flavor.
Tips
Store your carrots until you are ready to cook them. If you buy your carrots but don't want to boil them right away, put them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, since they lose their crisp texture and sweet taste at room temperature.[13]

Research source
Cut the green tops off your carrots when you store them, because the greens draw moisture out of the root and spoil the texture.[14]

Warnings
Make sure that the carrots are very soft and cut into very small pieces if you are preparing them for an infant or toddler. Harder carrots and bigger chunks are difficult for small children to chew and present a choking hazard. Pieces should be no bigger than 1/2 an inch in any direction. If you have any doubts, cut them even smaller.[15]

How to Boil Chicken
|
1. Seasoning the Chicken
1-1. Place your choice of chicken into a large pot.
If you'd like to boil a whole chicken, put it into a large stockpot that's at least 8 US quarts (7.6 L) in size. To boil pieces of chicken, put as many as you'd like to cook into a big pot so the pot is about 3/4 full.
If you're making chicken for several people, plan on serving a couple of pieces for each person. For example, plan on boiling 1 thigh and 1 drumstick for each person you want to serve.
1 whole chicken will generally serve 4 to 6 people.
You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs to save time or boil bone-in chicken with the skin on for more flavor.
1-2. Pour in enough cold water or stock to cover the chicken.
The amount of liquid you need will depend on how much chicken you're boiling and the size of your pot. Although you can use water to boil the chicken, using vegetable or chicken stock will give your chicken a lot of flavor.
Boiling in apple juice or apple cider is another great way to add subtle flavor to the chicken.
1-3. Put a handful of fresh herbs into the pot.
Think about how you're going to be serving and seasoning your final dish. Then, rinse a few sprigs of fresh herbs that will complement the meal and add them directly to the pot without chopping them. You can add a handful of parsley, oregano, thyme, or bay, for every 3 or 4 pounds (1.4 or 1.8 kg) of chicken.
For example, if you're using the boiled chicken to make a cold chicken salad, add fresh tarragon to the pot.
Use a combination of herbs to give the chicken a greater depth of flavor.
1-4. Add a variety of vegetables to create a rich flavor.
You can put in 2 or 3 vegetables for every 3 or 4 pounds (1.4 or 1.8 kg) of chicken. If you're using aromatic vegetables with a peel, chop them into wedges and add them to the pot along with other aromatic vegetables. Try using:
Garlic
Onions
Celery
1-5. Customize the flavor of the chicken by adding spices.
You should season the liquid with plenty of salt to help the chicken become tender. If you're only boiling a few pieces of chicken, try using about 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt. For a large stockpot full of liquid, use around 1 tablespoon (15 g) of salt. Play around with adding any of these unique spices for 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kg) of chicken:
1 to 2 dried chilies
1 teaspoon (3 g) of whole peppercorns
A 1 inch (2.5 cm) piece of fresh ginger
1 teaspoon (2 g) of cumin
1 teaspoon (2 g) of paprika
2. Boiling Tender Chicken
2-1. Boil a whole chicken for 80 to 90 minutes.
Put the lid on the pot and turn the burner to high. When the liquid starts to boil and steam escapes from under the lid, remove the lid and turn the burner down to medium-high so the liquid boils gently. Cook the whole chicken until it reaches 165 °F (74 °C) with an instant-read meat thermometer.
Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of a thigh in order to get an accurate reading. Ensure that you don't touch the thermometer to a bone or the reading might be off.
2-2. Cook the chicken breasts for 15 to 30 minutes.
Turn the burner to high and place the lid on the pot. When steam escapes from under the lid, carefully remove it and turn the burner down to medium-high. Then, boil boneless skinless chicken breasts for 15 to 20 minutes. If you're using bone-in breasts with the skin on, boil them for around 30 minutes.
The breasts are finished once they reach 165 °F (74 °C) with an instant-read meat thermometer.
2-3. Boil chicken legs for 30 to 40 minutes.
Put the lid on the pot and heat the liquid over high heat until it begins to boil. Then, remove the lid and reduce the burner to medium-high so the liquid bubbles gently. Since drumsticks contain bones and lots of muscle, you'll need to boil them for 30 to 40 minutes.
You can insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken leg to see if the temperature has reached 165 °F (74 °C). Don't accidentally touch the thermometer to the bone or the reading will be inaccurate.
2-4. Cook chicken thighs in the boiling liquid for 30 to 45 minutes.
Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat with the lid on the pot. Then, take off the lid and turn the burner down to medium-high. If you're using thighs with bones, boil them for up to 45 minutes or boil boneless thighs for about 30 minutes.
The meat should either begin to fall away from the bone or it should reach 165 °F (74 °C) with an instant-read meat thermometer.
3. Serving and Storing the Chicken
3-1. Remove the boiled chicken and serve it while it's hot.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully lift the chicken out of the hot liquid. If you're trying to remove a whole boiled chicken, try lifting the bottom with a flat spatula and inserting a meat fork into the center of the chicken. Transfer the whole chicken or pieces to a serving platter or cutting board and enjoy the hot boiled chicken.
If you boiled the chicken with herbs or vegetables, discard them since they're probably too mushy to serve.
3-2. Use forks if you'd like to shred the chicken.
Shredded chicken is great for tacos, casseroles, or pasta. Take 2 forks and pull against the boiled chicken in opposite directions to shred the meat.
If you'd like to shred a lot of boneless chicken, put the meat into the bowl of a stand mixer. Use the beater attachment and turn on the machine to low. The beaters will gently pull the meat apart.
3-3. Chop or slice the chicken to make even pieces.
If you're serving chicken fajitas or want to cover the chicken in a rich sauce, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the pieces. You can make thin slices of chicken or chunk the meat into cubes.
If you're working with bone-in chicken, start but cutting the meat off of the bone.
3-4. Store the boiled chicken in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Place the whole boiled chicken or chicken pieces into an airtight container. Refrigerate the chicken until you're ready to reheat it or use it cold. For example, you could make chicken salad with leftover shredded chicken.
You can reheat the chicken in the microwave or add it to a casserole that you're going to bake.
Tips
You can boil frozen chicken, but keep in mind that it will take 50% more time to cook.[12]

How to Boil Chicken Breasts
|
1. Putting the Chicken in a Pot
1-1. Skip rinsing the chicken breasts before you cook them.
You may have been taught to rinse chicken before you cook it, but doing so can spread harmful germs and bacteria around your kitchen. As you rinse the chicken, water droplets splash off of it, causing bacteria to splatter all over your sink, countertops, arms, and clothes. It’s best to avoid washing chicken so that you don’t risk food poisoning.
Chicken carries harmful bacteria, like salmonella. It only takes a tiny amount of germs to make you sick, so don’t risk it.
If you'd like to debone your chicken breasts, run a boning knife as close to the bone as you can without removing too much of the chicken breast flesh. The bone only usually covers about half of the chicken breast.
1-2. Cut the chicken into halves, quarters, or cubes to help it cook faster.
This step is optional, but it can dramatically reduce your cook time. Use a sharp knife to slice through the chicken breasts, cutting them into smaller pieces. Chop them as small as you like, depending on the dish you’re making.
If you’re shredding the chicken, you might not want to chop them too small, as this could make shredding take longer. However, it might be helpful to make your pieces very small if you’re adding them to a salad or wrap.
Use a cutting board that’s dedicated to chopping meat to limit the risk of contaminating other foods. Bacteria like salmonella can get stuck onto your chopping board, even if you wash it. If you then chop veggies on the board, they might get contaminated with salmonella.
Whole pieces of chicken take up to 30 minutes to cook, while small pieces may cook as quickly as 10 minutes.
1-3. Place the chicken into a medium or large pot.
Put the chicken into the pot first, then add the water or broth afterwards. Arrange the chicken in the bottom of the pan in a single layer.
If you have to layer the chicken to make it all fit, then it’s best to switch to a bigger pot. Otherwise, your chicken may not cook as well.
1-4. Cover the chicken with water or broth.
Slowly pour water or broth over your chicken, being careful not to splash. Add just enough water to completely cover the chicken.
If the water boils off, you can add more water, as necessary.
Keep in mind that splashing can distribute bacteria like salmonella.
You can use either chicken or vegetable broth.
1-5. Season the pot using spices, herbs, or chopped veggies, if you like.
Adding seasonings is optional, but it can make your chicken much more flavorful. At a minimum, add salt and pepper to your water for a little seasoning. However, it’s best to also add dried herbs like italian seasoning, jerk seasoning, or rosemary. For really flavorful chicken, chop up onions, carrots, and celery, then add them to your water.
After you cook the chicken, you can save the water or broth for use in another recipe, if you like. For instance, it might make a good soup stock.
If any veggies are sticking out of the water, add more water so that the veggies and chicken are totally covered.
Sprinkle in some spices like chili powder, cumin, and garlic. Dried herbs are also great, along with spice blends from different manufacturers.
1-6. Cover the pot with a lid.
Use a lid that fits tightly onto the pot you’re using. This will seal in the water vapor that evaporates from the pot to help the chicken cook.
When you lift the lid, use a towel or pot holder so you don’t burn your hand. Additionally, don’t hold your face over the pot, as the steam could burn you.
2. Cooking the Chicken
2-1. Bring the water or broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Place the pot on a stove burner and turn the heat to medium-high. Watch the pot until it starts burning, which will take a few minutes. Watch for bubbles on the surface of the water and condensation forming on the lid, which mean the water is boiling.
Don’t let your water or broth boil too long, as this can evaporate too much of your liquid. Stay with the pot so you can turn it down as soon as it starts boiling.
2-2. Turn the heat down to a simmer.
The chicken will continue cooking at a simmer. Turn the heat down to low, then monitor it for a few minutes to make sure the water or broth is lightly simmering.
Don't leave the pot unattended, even while it's at a simmer. You don't want it to accidentally start boiling again or for the water to evaporate.
2-3. Check the chicken breasts with a meat thermometer after 10 minutes.
Remove the lid from the pot. Next, pull out a single piece of chicken from the side of the pot. Push your meat thermometer into the center of the chicken, then read the temperature. If it’s not at least 165 °F (74 °C), put the chicken back in the pot, replace the lid, and keep cooking it.
If you don’t have a meat thermometer, cut the chicken in half to see if it’s pink inside. While this is not as accurate as a meat thermometer, it will help you determine if your chicken is likely done.
Large pieces of chicken will likely not be ready at this point. However, smaller chunks or chicken quarters may be cooked.
Overcooking your chicken will make it rubbery and unpleasant to chew, so it’s best to check if it’s ready, even if you suspect it isn’t.
2-4. Continue cooking the chicken until it reaches 165 °F (74 °C) inside it.
If the chicken isn’t ready after 10 minutes, keep cooking it. Check it every 5-10 minutes to see if it’s done. How long it will take for your chicken to cook depends on the size of the pieces:
Chicken breasts with skin and bones should cook for about 30 minutes.
Skinless, boneless chicken breasts should cook for 20-25 minutes. If they are cut in half, then they’ll likely take 15-20 minutes.
Skinless, boneless chicken breasts that have been cut into 2-inch pieces should cook for about 10 minutes.
When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, the inside will no longer be pink.
2-5. Remove the pot from the heat.
Turn off the burner, then use a towel or pot holder to grasp the handle on the pot so that you don’t burn yourself. Move the pot to a cool burner or a pot cooling rack.
Be careful when handling the hot pot, as you might burn yourself.
3. Serving or Shredding Your Chicken
3-1. Drain the liquid from the pot.
Slowly pour the water or broth over a colander, being careful not to splash. The chicken and any veggies you used to flavor the water will collect in the colander for easy retrieval. Set the colander on a clean countertop, then either discard or save the liquid.
If you’re planning to save the liquid for a future recipe, drain it into a clean bowl. From there, you can refrigerate or freeze it.
If you used veggies to season your water, discard them into your compost or trash.
As an alternative, you can use a fork, slotted spoon, or tongs to remove the chicken.
3-2. Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
Use a fork to move the chicken from the colander to a plate. Be careful not to touch the chicken, as it will be very hot.
If you prefer, you can transfer the chicken back into the empty pot. For instance, you might prefer to shred the chicken in the pot if you plan to add a sauce to it. That way, you can warm the sauce in the same pan you used to cook the chicken.
3-3. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before you use it.
This gives the chicken a chance to cool down before you handle it. Set a timer and leave the chicken alone during this time. Afterwards, you can serve or shred your chicken.
If you’re planning to add a sauce to the chicken, it’s okay to do so now as long as you don’t touch the chicken. However, don’t heat up the sauce until the chicken has cooled for 10 minutes. This will help you prevent the chicken from becoming rubbery from overcooking.
3-4. Serve the chicken whole or cut it into chunks.
After your chicken cools, you can serve it however you like. It’s okay to eat the breasts whole, or you might want to slice them up.
If you like, you can season your chicken with more spices or a sauce. For instance, you might coat it in barbeque sauce or mix it into a mango salsa.
You can add boiled chicken to salads, stir-fries, or fajitas.
3-5. Shred the chicken with 2 forks if you’re making tacos or sandwiches.
Hold a fork in each hand, then use the forks to pull the chicken apart. Continue to pierce and pull apart the chicken until it’s shredded to your preferences. Then, you can use it to complete your recipe.
You can also use a knife to help break up the chicken, if you prefer.
Tips
If your chicken is frozen, it’s best to defrost it in your refrigerator for 9 hours before cooking it. As an alternative, use the defrost setting on your microwave.[18]
X
Research source
Chicken that is boiled in only water can be bland tasting. Consider adding vegetables or broth to the pot, and season your chicken with various cooking sauces and spices.
Warnings
Be sure to wash your hands both before and after handling chicken to prevent the spread of salmonella. Wash or disinfect any knives, forks, plates, and counter-tops that touch raw chicken.
Chicken can safely be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If you don't plan on eating it within that time, then store it in the freezer.[19]

How to Boil Chicken for Dogs
|
1. Cooking the Chicken Breasts
1-1. Place 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a medium-size pot.
Spread the chicken breasts out along the bottom of the pot so the meat is not layered. If you do not have a pot large enough to support the chicken breasts, use a deep, covered skillet instead.
Make sure that your chicken is completely defrosted if it was frozen. The frozen meat will affect the cooking time of the chicken and could potentially cause the meat to cook unevenly. If it is still frozen, finish defrosting the chicken in the refrigerator before cooking it.
1-2. Fill the pot with water until all of the chicken breasts are submerged.
Add approximately 3 in (7.6 cm) of water to the pot, or more if needed to cover the chicken breasts. Just be careful not to fill your pot with so much water that it bubbles over while cooking. Keep about 2 in (5.1 cm) of head space to avoid this.
Do not add any additional seasonings to the chicken, as those may cause your dog to have an upset stomach. Keep the chicken bland, and then pair it with other foods later if you want.
1-3. Cover the pot and boil the chicken for 12 minutes over high heat.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Then, continue to cook the chicken for approximately 12 minutes.
Remove one of the chicken breasts from the pot and cut into it to make sure it is thoroughly cooked after 12 minutes. If the inside is still pink or gummy, return the chicken to the pot and continue to cook the 3 breasts for approximately 1-2 minutes.
1-4. Place the cooked chicken breasts onto a plate and shred it into small pieces.
Use a knife and fork, or 2 forks, to break the meat apart easily. Make the pieces of meat small enough for your dog to chew and swallow safely.
Keep your dog’s size in mind when shredding the meat. Smaller dogs may require the meat to be broken into much smaller pieces than larger dogs would.
1-5. Let the chicken cool off for 10-15 minutes.
Allow the chicken to rest on the counter until it is cool to touch. Once cool, you can either give some of the chicken to your dog as a quick snack or pair the chicken with other foods to make it a meal.
Speed up the cooling process by placing the chicken in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
1-6. Store leftover chicken in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Place leftover chicken into a glass or plastic container that has a tight seal. Then, store it in the refrigerator, and feed it to your dog over the next 3-4 days.
Alternatively, freeze the boiled chicken in a sealed container for 2-6 months and save it for the next time your dog has an upset stomach. Then, simply defrost the chicken in the refrigerator before feeding it to your dog.
2. Feeding Your Dog Boiled Chicken
2-1. Give your dog plain boiled chicken as a small treat.
Use the chicken as a training supplement or simply give your dog the chicken as a stand-alone treat. Just be careful not to overfeed your dog with the boiled chicken.
If using the boiled chicken as a training tool, feed your dog single pieces of shredded chicken when it succeeds at a task.
When using the boiled chicken as a stand-alone treat, portion appropriately to the size of your dog. Think about how much dog food you usually give your dog for a meal, and scale the chicken into smaller portions based on that.
2-2. Mix chunks of the boiled chicken with dog food to make the plain meal enticing.
Your dog will enjoy the added flavor to the dog food and will become fuller on the extra protein. Just be careful not to overfeed your dog in the process. Reduce the amount of dog food you normally give your dog when adding the chicken.
The amount you give your dog depends entirely on the weight of your dog and the amount of exercise it normally receives.
Try to break up the normal meal into a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. If you normally give your dog 1 cup (224 g) of dog food for dinner, then only give your dog 2/3 cup (149.3 g) of dog food and 1/3 cup (41.7 g) of chicken, or 3/4 cup (168 g) of dog food and 1/4 cup (31.25 g) of chicken.
2-3. Add the shredded chicken to white rice to settle an upset stomach.
Prepare 1 cup (180 g) uncooked, white rice as you normally would—usually in a pot on the stove or in a rice cooker. Then, mix some of the shredded chicken in with the rice, and allow it to fully cool before feeding it to your dog.
Proportion the rice to chicken in a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio. Pair 2 cups (400 g) of cooked rice with 1 cup (125 g) of cooked chicken, or 3 cups (600 g) of cooked rice with 1 cup (125 g) of cooked chicken.
To subtly flavor the rice, use the chicken broth produced by the boiled chicken to cook the rice. Do not use the store-bought chicken broth to cook the rice, as it may contain ingredients, like onions, that could be harmful to your dog.
Instead of white rice, you can prepare brown rice to increase the nutritional value of the meal. Be aware that brown rice is harder for your dog to digest. If your dog has a sensitive or upset stomach, only feed it white rice.
2-4. Supplement the classic chicken and rice meal with canned pumpkin or yogurt.
Use canned pumpkin or non-fat, plain yogurt to regulate your dog’s digestive system. The pumpkin is high in fiber and the yogurt is a natural probiotic that will be gentle on your dog’s stomach. Both will add a moist texture to the meal.
To a 1/2 cup (100 g) of cooked white rice and 1/4 cup (31.25 g) of chicken, add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) of yogurt or 1/4 cup (56.25 g) of canned pumpkin. Mix the ingredients together, and portion as needed to feed it to your dog.
2-5. Feed your dog boiled chicken 1-2 times a week.
Unless your dog has a digestive issue like an upset stomach, refrain from feeding it boiled chicken more than twice a week. This will keep your dog from developing picky eating habits or becoming reliant on the chicken.
If your dog does have a digestive issue, feed it boiled chicken up to 3 days in a row to help regulate its stomach issue. If the digestive issue persists, contact your local veterinarian.
Tips
If your pet suddenly stops eating its normal food, take them to the vet to get them checked out since a lack of appetite could be a sign of something wrong.[13]

How to Boil Clams
|
1. Removing Sand and Dirt
1-1. Tap clams with an open shell and toss them if they don't close.
When clams rest, they sometimes open their shells slightly. Go through your batch of clams and pick out each one with an open shell. Give it a slight tap with a spoon. If the shell closes, the clam is alive. If it stays open, then the clam is dead. Discard any dead clams.
Every clam batch has 1 or 2 bad clams, so don’t worry if you find a few dead ones.
Never eat clams that were dead before cooking. They could be contaminated with bacteria and make you sick.
1-2. Soak the clams in cool saltwater for 1 hour to remove any sand.
Fill a bowl with cool water and dissolve 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (17 g) of sea salt for each quart (0.9 L) of water. Place all the clams in the bowl and let them soak for an hour. The clams will open up and start expelling any sand they had inside them.
The water may start getting cloudy. This is normal, and means the clams are being cleaned.
The clams may also extend their tongues slightly out of their shells. This is also normal.
1-3. Transfer the clams to another bowl of clean saltwater and soak for 20 minutes.
After an hour, the original water will probably be full of sand. Fill a clean bowl with water and the same salt mixture you used before. Then take each clam out and place it in the new bowl for another 20 minutes.
Remove the clams by hand when you take them out. If you use a spoon, you could pick up some settled sand and re-contaminate the clams.
1-4. Scrub the clams under running water to remove remaining dirt.
Take each clam out of the bowl and hold it under a running faucet. Use a brush and scrub each clam’s shell to remove any remaining dirt.
2. Boiling the Clams
2-1. Fill a large pot halfway with water.
The size of the pot depends on the amount of clams and other ingredients you use. For a small gathering, an 8-12-quart (7.5-11.3 L) pot holds plenty. For larger gatherings, you may need a 16-quart (15.1 L) pot. Whichever you use, only fill it up halfway so the ingredients don’t overflow the pot when you add them.
2-2. Add any seasonings to the water that you want to use.
Cooking clams in plain water leaves them tasting bland. Seasoning the water adds flavor and a pleasant aroma while the clams boil. There is no rule on which seasonings to add, so it's up to your preference. Common flavorings are salt, thyme, onions, rosemary, and garlic. Sprinkle some in and taste the water, then adjust the mixture as you want to.
For flavor, you can add 1 cup (240 ml) of white wine or a bottle of lager beer to the water.
Slicing up a lemon and throwing it into the water also adds flavor and helps with the fishy smell from the clams.
2-3. Bring the water to a boil over a high heat.
Place the pot on a stovetop and turn on a high flame. Keep the flame on high until the water starts boiling.
A large pot like this will be heavy. Make sure you’re strong enough to lift and carry it, or have someone nearby who is.
Depending on the size of the pot, the water may take 10-15 minutes to boil or longer. Make sure you start boiling early enough so the meal will be ready in time. Cover the pot to speed up the boiling process.
2-4. Add other ingredients like vegetables or sausage if you’re using them.
If you’re doing a full seafood dinner, then add the other ingredients before adding the clams. Common ingredients are corn, potatoes, carrots, and sausage. These ingredients are more durable than the clams and need more cooking, so add them and let them cook for 10-20 minutes before pouring in the clams.
The time for each ingredient varies. In general, potatoes need 20 minutes more than the other ingredients, and sausage, corn, and carrots need 5 minutes more. If you’re adding all of them, add the potatoes first, then 20 minutes later add the other ingredients, then 5 minutes later add the clams.
If you’re not using any other ingredients, then skip this step and just add the clams when the water boils.
2-5. Pour the clams into the boiling water.
After the other ingredients have cooked, or if you aren’t using any other ingredients, add the clams to the boiling water. Be careful when pouring them in to avoid splashing hot water. To avoid splashing, you can use tongs to place each clam in individually, rather than pouring them all in at once.
Keep an eye on the water level while adding these ingredients. If you added too much water, the pot could overflow. Try scooping some water out with a smaller pot if the level is close to the top.
2-6. Boil the clams for 8-10 minutes, until they open.
Let the clams and the other ingredients cook together. Leave the pot uncovered. Keep the water boiling, but adjust the temperature if the pot looks like it’s close to boiling over. After 8-10 minutes, the clams will start opening, indicating that they’re finished. Turn off the heat after 10 minutes.
Overcooked clams are very tough, so don’t boil them too long. 10 minutes is enough time.
Don’t try to wait until all the clams open, because some may have been dead before you put them in the pot. If you wait too long, all the other clams will be overcooked.
If you’re using little neck clams, they cook faster. Boil them for 5 minutes instead.
2-7. Scoop the ingredients into a colander to drain.
Place a colander in the sink. Then use tongs, a strainer, or scooping spoon and remove all the ingredients. Place them into a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to drain.
Don’t try to pour all the water and ingredients into a colander. This is a heavy pot, and you might splash hot water around if you try to drain it all at once.
2-8. Discard any clams that didn’t open.
Every clam batch has a few bad clams. If a clam was dead when you placed it in the pot, then it won’t open. Don’t eat clams that didn’t open, because they could be contaminated with bacteria. Pick out the ones that are still closed and throw them away.
2-9. Serve the clams plain or as part of a larger meal.
Once the clams are boiled, you have plenty of options for how to serve them. If you cooked the clams with other ingredients, then spread them all out on a large plate and let your guests dig in. Boiled clams are also a great topping for pasta. If you prefer, you can just eat them plain right out of the shell.
Squeeze a little lemon juice over the dish to add flavor and also help reduce the fishy smell.
Cooked clams can last 3-4 days in the refrigerator if you have leftovers. Freezing isn't a good storage option because they'll become very tough and leathery.
Tips
You can use the same recipe for boiled mussels, but remember that mussels cook faster. Boil them for just 4-5 minutes to avoid overcooking them. Remember to get rid of any mussels that don’t open.

Pour the clams into the boiling water.\\nAfter the other ingredients have cooked, or if you aren’t using any other ingredients, add the clams to the boiling water. Be careful when pouring them in to avoid splashing hot water. To avoid splashing, you can use tongs to place each clam in individually, rather than pouring them all in at once.\\nKeep an eye on the water level while adding these ingredients.

Place them into a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to drain.\\nDon’t try to pour all the water and ingredients into a colander. This is a heavy pot, and you might splash hot water around if you try to drain it all at once.\\n2-8. Discard any clams that didn’t open.\\nEvery clam batch has a few bad clams. If a clam was dead when you placed it in the pot, then it won’t open. Don’t eat clams that didn’t open, because they could be contaminated with bacteria. Pick out the ones that are still closed and throw them away.\\n2-9. Serve the clams plain or as part of a larger meal.\\nOnce the clams are boiled, you have plenty of options for how to serve them. If you cooked the clams with other ingredients, then spread them all out on a large plate and let your guests dig in. Boiled clams are also a great topping for pasta. If you prefer, you can just eat them plain right out of the shell.\\nSqueeze a little lemon juice over the dish to add flavor and also help reduce the fishy smell.\\nCooked clams can last 3-4 days in the refrigerator if you have leftovers. Freezing isn't a good storage option because they'll become very tough and leathery.\\nTips\\nYou can use the same recipe for boiled mussels, but remember that mussels cook faster. Boil them for just 4-5 minutes to avoid overcooking them.

How to Boil Corned Beef
|
1. Boiling the Beef
1-1. Submerge the corned beef brisket in a large pot of boiling water boil five hours before you plan to eat; add any included flavoring pack or pickling spice.
If your brisket came without a flavoring packet, then you can make your own. Tie four bay leaves, one tablespoon of coriander seeds, one tablespoon whole mustard seeds, and one tablespoon of whole black peppercorns up in a cheesecloth and add it to the boiling water.
You can also add a pint of Guinness to give your corned beef a creamy kick.
1-2. Add water to the pot to keep beef covered:
boiling water evaporates.
1-3. While boiling the beef, peel and cut the vegetables into large chunks, which you will add to the boiling water after the beef has cooked.
1-4. After 3 1/2 hours of cooking the beef, add the carrots and turnips.
At 3 3/4 hours, add the onions and potatoes. At 4 hours, add the cabbage.
2. Cutting the Beef
2-1. Ladle out the cabbage when it is tender and separate the vegetables in a pan.
Carefully move the meat from the water to a cutting board. Keep the juice-the water the beef has been boiling in-hot for serving.
2-2. Let the corned beef cool for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Scrape the fat from the meat with a knife or spoon.
2-3. Cutting across the grain, slice the meat into 1-inch thick pieces.
2-4. Spoon some of each vegetable into a large soup bowl.
Lay a slice of corned beef on top of the vegetables and pour in about 1/4 cup of the juice.
3. Ideas for Using the Boiled Corned Beef
3-1. Make your corned beef into hash and get ready for some serious flavor.
Corned Beef hash is a traditional Irish dish that can be both breakfast and dinner.
3-2. Spice up your corned beef hash by making baked eggs in hash nests
Breakfast guests will admire your ingenuity.
3-3. Get traditional by making a New England boiled dinner
Nothing is quite as warming on a freezing day as salty boiled veggies and corned beef.
3-4. Make your corned beef into a pie
Making a pie is a great way to transform left over corned beef into something entirely new.
3-5. Try something totally different by making Scotch eggs covered in corned beef
Scotch eggs are a traditional yet intriguing and delicious British dish.
Tips
Be sure to keep enough water in the pot while cooking.

How to Boil Crab Legs
|
1. Boiling the Crab in Plain, Salted Water
1-1. Pour water into a pot until it is 2/3 of the way full.
Add tap water to the pot to fill it up. Make sure to choose a pot that's big enough to hold the legs. You can bend the legs but only at the joints.
A single, large pot will likely hold about 2 pounds (0.91 kg) of crab legs.
1-2. Bring the pot of water to a boil.
Set the pot on a burner and turn it up to high heat. Add a tablespoon (17 g) or so of salt to the water, and let it come to a rolling boil.
A rolling boil is when the top of the water is moving violently and isn't disturbed when you run a spoon through it.
Beyond salt, you could also add seasonings of choice to the pot.
1-3. Add the crab legs to the pot.
Gently drop the crab legs into the water, as you don't want to splash boiling water on yourself. If you need to, use tongs to lower the crab legs into the water.
Use the tongs to move the legs around in the water so as much of the leg is submerged as possible. Bend legs at the joints if you need to.
1-4. Let the crab legs boil for 4-5 minutes.
Once the water comes back to a boil, start a timer. Typically, you're just reheating the legs, not cooking them. Therefore, you only need to make sure they're heated through.
As they boil, move them around every once and a while to make sure you get the whole leg heated through.
Fresh, uncooked crab legs will change color from dark grey/blue/brown to a bright red/orange. If your crab legs are cooked, they'll look orange-pink in the package.
1-5. Pull the legs out of the water with the tongs.
Grasp the legs with the tongs, and let the water drain off a bit before moving them to a platter. Let them cool before serving them with clarified butter.
If you need to keep the legs warm, set them on a baking tray in the oven. Set the oven to the lowest setting.
Don't cook the legs too long, as you'll end up with overcooked meat.
2. Adding Other Flavors
2-1. Replace the water with beer, lemon, and garlic.
Instead of water, add 3 bottles of ale or beer to the pot. Drop in 6 lemon halves, as well as a head of garlic split in half. Let it come to a boil, and boil the crab for 5 minutes before removing it with tongs.
Discard the beer, lemon, and garlic when you're done.
2-2. Add citrus to the water.
You can add sliced lemons or even a few sliced oranges or limes to the pot before you start boiling it. Just cut the citrus in half or quarters, and throw it in the pot as-is. Aim for 1-2 citrus fruits per 1 pound (0.45 kg) of crab.
Make sure to wash the citrus thoroughly before throwing it in the pot.
2-3. Use crab boil or cajun seasoning.
You can purchase crab or shrimp boil seasoning in the store. Then, just toss it in before you get the water boiling. This seasoning works especially well if you want to boil potatoes, corn, and sausage before throwing in the crab.
Make your own crab boil seasoning with 8 bay leaves, 3 tablespoons (16 g) of coriander seeds, 4 tablespoons (22 g) of mustard seeds, 2 tablespoons (11 g), of whole allspice, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of whole cloves, 2 tablespoons (13 g) of dill seeds, and 1 tablespoon (5 g) of crushed red pepper flakes. Use the whole amount for 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of crabs or a combination of crabs and other food.
2-4. Throw in a couple of bay leaves and a handful of black peppercorns.
Bay leaves are a fairly common spice for crab. Add 2-3 leaves before the water starts to boil. You can also throw in 10-20 whole peppercorns for a bit of added kick.
You can add these in addition to other seasonings.
3. Purchasing and Thawing Crab Legs
3-1. Choose thick, meaty legs for easier access.
You'll have a much easier time pulling the meat out with thicker legs. Plus, you'll get more meat per leg. Look for the thickest legs you can find.
King crab has the thickest legs, but snow crab can be just as tasty.
Aim for 0.5 to 1 pound (0.23 to 0.45 kg) per person.
3-2. Avoid legs that have a lot of ice crystals.
If the legs are covered in ice crystals, that could mean they've been thawed and refrozen, which doesn't bode well for the flavor. Look for legs with few crystals that have a bright color.
They also shouldn't smell freezer burned or fishy.
3-3. Place the legs in the freezer until you want to use them.
If you're going to wait a couple of days or even a few weeks to use your crab legs, make sure to store them in the freezer. They'll go bad quickly in the fridge, usually within 2-3 days.
Crab will last in the freezer up to 3 months. It will still be edible after that time, but the quality will begin to diminish.
3-4. Thaw legs overnight in the refrigerator.
Crab legs generally come into the store frozen, and you're best bet for fresh legs is to purchase them that way. The easiest way to thaw them is to simply place them in the refrigerator overnight. Place them in a wide bowl to catch any thawed ice water.
If you're pressed for time, place them in a colander with cold, running tap water. They should thaw in 5-10 minutes.
Tips
Use nutcrackers, hammers, pliers, knives, and/or forks to crack open the crab leg shells.
You can eat crab legs by baking, microwaving or grilling also.
Warnings
Although thawed crab legs can stay in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, it is best to boil them as soon as possible. Crab legs can go bad quickly, and you will want to enjoy them at their freshest.
Most crab legs purchased from the supermarket have already been precooked, and you are basically thawing and reheating them. However, if you have purchased crab legs that have not been cooked, boil them for 10 to 15 minutes instead of the suggested 4 to 5 minutes for precooked crab legs.

How to Boil Drinking Water
|
1. Heating and Cooling the Water
1-1. Filter the water before boiling it if it is cloudy.
Cloudy water is caused by dirt and other debris you don’t want to drink. Let the water rest until the sediment settles at the bottom. Then, secure a clean cloth over a jar or another container with a rubber band. Pour the water onto the cloth, letting it drip through and into the container. When you've poured all the water through, remove the cloth carefully to avoid reintroducing sediment to the water.
You can also use a paper towel or coffee filter if you don’t have a clean cloth available.
1-2. Bring the water to a boil over high heat on a stove.
Pour the water into a pot safe for use on a stovetop if it isn’t already in one. Then, turn up the heat and wait until the water begins to bubble ferociously. Bubbles should rapidly rise from the bottom of the pot without pause.
If you’re familiar with cooking techniques, this is called a rolling boil. The water should bubble consistently before you set your timer.
The water can take a while to bubble, especially if you’re heating large quantities. Expect it to take at least 5 or 10 minutes and reach a temperature of at least 212 °F (100 °C).
If your stove isn’t operational, you will need another heat source, such as a campfire or portable stove.
1-3. Boil the water for 1-3 minutes, depending on your altitude.
If you are in an area 5,000 ft (1.5 km) or more above sea level, boil the water for a full 3 minutes. At altitudes lower than this, boil the water for at least 1 full minute. Boil it for longer if you are unsure about the altitude in your area.
You can find elevation information on a topographical map. Maps are available online or at your local government’s land survey office.
1-4. Cool the water for 30 minutes before using it.
Hot water takes a while to cool, so plan on boiling it before you need it. Test the water with a kitchen thermometer to make sure it won’t scald you. You can also hold your fingers close to the water to see if you feel any residual heat.
1-5. Improve the water’s taste by adding salt to it.
Boiled water often tastes flat, similar to old soda, due to the loss of air. You can improve it by mixing in about 1 teaspoon (7 g) of salt per ⁄4 US gal (0.95 L) of water. Stir the salt thoroughly in the water and add more if the taste still isn’t desirable.
Another way to improve the water is to aerate it again. Get another clean container and pour the water back and forth between the containers a few times.
1-6. Store excess water in a clean, covered container.
Any water you boil can be stored in case of emergencies. You don’t need plastic water bottles to do this. Mason jars, plastic jugs, and other resealable containers work well. Keep the container sealed to avoid contamination.
Boil and store water in advance! Then you will have a water supply no matter what circumstances you face.
2. Using Chemical Alternatives
2-1. Disinfect water with chlorine bleach if you can’t boil it.
You will need a regular, unscented liquid bleach and a sterilized eye dropper. Read the label to find out how much sodium hypochlorite is in the mixture. For bleach consisting of 6% sodium hypochlorite, add 8 drops per 1 US gal (3.8 L). For bleach consisting of 8.25% sodium hypochlorite, reduce the amount of drops to 6 per 1 US gal (3.8 L).
The water should have a slight chlorine smell before you drink it. If it doesn’t, repeat the treatment.
If the chlorine taste is too strong, pour the water into another container to aerate it, then let it rest for a few hours.
2-2. Mix granular calcium hypochlorite into the water for a stronger purifier.
Granular calcium hypochlorite is very strong, so wear eye goggles and work in a well-ventilated area! Mix about 1 teaspoon (7 g) of calcium hypochlorite into 2 US gal (7.6 L) of water until it dissolves. Then, stir about ⁄2 US gal (1.9 L) of the mixture into 12.5 US gal (47 L) of water.
If the water tastes too strongly of chlorine, pour it into another container and let it stand for a few hours.
Granular calcium hypochlorite is used in pools, so you can find it wherever pool supplies are sold.
2-3. Use household iodine if you don’t have chlorine available.
Use a sterilized eye dropper to add about 5 drops of iodine to each ⁄2 US gal (1.9 L) of water you want to purify. Add 5 extra drops if the water is cloudy. Stir the water thoroughly, then leave it alone for at least 30 minutes before drinking it.
You can find iodine in the pharmacy section at most general stores. Look for household iodine or tincture of iodine.
Iodine may be included in commercial first-aid kits. Consider keeping a bottle on hand if your kit doesn’t have one already.
2-4. Purchase water disinfection tablets for an easier way to clean water.
Water disinfection tablets are by far the easiest purifier to use, but you may not already have them on hand. The tablets also come in a variety of strengths, so read the manufacturer’s instructions for handling information. Then, simply drop a tablet into the specified amount of water and let it dissolve.
Tablets are available at many pharmacies and sporting good stores, but they can also be bought online.
You can get chlorine, iodine, and various other types of tablets. Using them means you don’t have to measure out any liquid chemicals.
If you want to enjoy drinking water when you do not like the taste, try adding other flavors to your water.
You can add fresh fruit or herbs to it.
Or add fresh citrus juice (lemon, lime, orange) to it.
Tips
Boiling water is useful if you get caught in a natural disaster or have to deal with a broken pipe in your area.
Listen to your local government when they issue boil advisories. These warnings are for your own safety. Avoid drinking tap water if you aren’t sure it is safe.
If you collect water from outside of your home, avoid water that is stagnant or has debris floating in it. Also, avoid water that looks dark or smells bad.

How to Boil Dumplings
|
1. Making Boiled Chinese Dumplings in a Pot
1-1. Make the dough for the dumplings if you haven't already.
A basic dough can be made by mixing flour, water, and salt together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Knead the dough and let it rest for about 2 hours. When it is ready, cut it up into small chunks. You can drop the dough balls directly into the water or roll them out to turn them into wrappers for Chinese dumplings.
You may also be able to buy fresh, uncooked dumplings. Ask around at local restaurants that serve fresh dumplings.
1-2. Fill
Chinese dumplings are often filled with mixtures of meat and vegetables. For example, cook up a pork and cabbage filling using ground pork, napa cabbage, soy sauce, and herbs and spices. Place a small amount of filling in the center of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper over on itself.
Add different ingredients to customize the filling. For instance, you can make a filling out of pork and cabbage or out of vegetables.
1-3. Freeze dumplings if you aren't cooking them right away.
Avoid leaving the dumplings out at room temperature for more than 30 minutes. To preserve them, place a piece of parchment paper over a baking sheet. Dust the paper with flour or cornstarch, arrange the dumplings in a single layer on the paper, then put the tray in the oven for 30 minutes. Once the dumplings freeze, move them to airtight containers or freezer bags.
Freezing is especially important for filled dumplings. The dough will absorb moisture from the filling and fall apart when you cook it.
1-4. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Fill a large pot about ⅔ full with cold water and place it on your stove. To speed up the boiling time, cover the pot first. Wait for the water to rapidly bubble.
1-5. Stir a small batch of dumplings into the water.
Cook a small number of dumplings at any given time. You can add about 8 dumplings to an average-sized pot. The dumplings should form a single layer at the bottom of the pan. Stir them in so they don't stick together.
Frozen homemade dumplings do not need to be thawed. If you buy preserved dumplings, like the kind from your supermarket freezer aisle, you can usually let them thaw for about 15 minutes as you boil to the water or prepare a dipping sauce.
If you have a particularly big pot or small dumplings, you may be able to cook the dumplings in larger batches.
1-6. Wait 3 to 4 minutes for the dumplings to float.
The dumplings will bob up to the surface after a few minutes. Stay near the pot to avoid overcooking them. Check to see if the dumplings look cooked through and remove any that have fallen apart.
1-7. Boil the dumplings for 6 minutes until they look transparent.
After the dumplings rise to the surface, leave them in the pot for a little bit longer. The inner part of the dumpling, including the filling for Chinese dumplings, tends to cook slower than the outer portion. When the dumplings have cooked evenly, they should appear puffed up and transparent.
You can also try adding ⁄2 cup (120 mL) of cold water to the pot after the dumplings rise. Wait for the water to boil and the dumplings to float again. Repeat this until they are cooked through.
1-8. Move the dumplings immediately to a serving plate.
Too much water is bad for the dumplings, so fish them out with a slotted spoon right away. Place them in a single layer on a plate or tray. Avoid stacking them or else they may absorb water and fall apart.
You can pour the pot's contents into a strainer as well to drain the water.
1-9. Store leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Put the dumplings in a sealed plastic container. Cooked dumplings will last about 4 days this way. In the freezer, they last up to 3 months and may become soggy and tasteless when stored for longer than that.
Raw homemade dumplings should be put in a resealable freezer bag. Squeeze as much air out of the bag as you can. The dumplings will last at least 2 weeks in the freezer, possibly a few months, and can quickly be cooked when you need them.
2. Cooking Drop Dumplings in Broth
2-1. Mix the dough if you are making fresh dumplings.
Mix together flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Gradually mix in butter to bring the dough together. Mix in some milk afterwards to soften it.
Another way is to buy prepared dough or frozen drop dumplings. Defrost frozen dumplings first.
2-2. Boil water or stock over high heat on the stove.
Water works fine, but consider using any kind of stock to give the dumplings more flavor. You can also boil a soup or stew, such as one with carrots, peas, and chicken. Get the liquid nice and bubbly.
2-3. Drop the dough into the boiling liquid.
Make sure all of the dumplings are a similar size so they cook at the same rate. You can scoop the dough up with a spoon, then push it off into the pot. Continue doing this until all of the dough chunks are in the pot.
Keep the dumplings relatively small, about the size of a spoon. Large dumplings have a tendency to cook unevenly, which means you get a mouthful of raw dough when you bite into them.
2-4. Cover and simmer the dumplings over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Turn the heat down on the stove so the liquid doesn't overflow the pot. Cover the pot to trap the remaining heat in, then set your timer. The dumplings will be soft and flavorful when they're done.
2-5. Serve the dumplings in the liquid they were cooked in.
Drop dumplings are often served as is. All you need is a serving spoon or ladle. Scoop out the dumplings and broth, then pour them into a bowl to enjoy them.
You can use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings if you boiled them in water or don't want the broth.
2-6. Store the dumplings for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Pour the dumplings and broth into a resealable plastic container. If possible, separate the dumplings from the liquid so they don't get soggy so quickly. For better results, make as many dumplings as you need for the dish and don't try to store them.
The broth can last about 1 week in the refrigerator and 3 months in the freezer, so you may be better off making fresh dumplings and adding them to the broth when you want to use it again.
You can try storing the dumplings in the freezer, but chances are they will get mushy and not taste very good even when separated from the liquid.
3. Steam Potstickers in a Pan
3-1. Heat cooking oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet.
Pour about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of olive or vegetable oil into a pan. Heat the oil until it shimmers and appears about to smoke.
Make sure the pan is non-stick or cast iron so the dumplings don't stick and tear apart when you move them later.
3-2. Place the potstickers in the pan.
When cooking the dumplings, keep the folded side facing up. The thicker side with the filling should be against the pan. If you can't get them to stand up, you can also lay them flat in the pan. Cook only about 8 to 12 dumplings at a time, keeping them in a single layer so all the dumplings are in the oil.
Potstickers are basically the same as Chinese dumplings except they are seared and boiled in a pan. They may be smaller and thinner than dumplings boiled in a pot.
The amount of potstickers you can cook at a time depends on the size of your pan and dumplings.
3-3. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of water into the pan.
Add the water, making sure the stove's heat is set to medium. Using a mixing spoon or another utensil, swirl the oil and water around to coat the dumplings in it.
Swirling the liquids around in the pot a little leads to a better sear, so make sure all the dumplings get covered.
3-4. Cover the pan and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes.
The water will evaporate as the potstickers boil. When this happens, uncover the pans and check to see if the potstickers are cooked through. They should look transparent and feel soft and warm in the center.
The potstickers should also have a golden brown crust on the bottom. You can lift them with tongs to check. If they don't, leave the cover off the pan and cook them until they brown.
3-5. Cook the potstickers in water for 4 minutes if they aren't done.
Add about ⁄3 cup (79 mL) of water to the pan. Cover the pan again and let the dumplings continue to boil. Most of the water should evaporate by the time the potstickers are finished. If there is a little water left, you can uncover the pan and let the water evaporate.
Frozen dumplings may need the extra cooking time. For fresh potstickers, you may need to use a little more water to get them to finish without burning.
3-6. Serve the potstickers with a dipping sauce.
Take the dumplings out of the pan right away so they cannot continue to boil or brown. Use a slotted spoon to scoop them out and place them on a plate. Potstickers are often eaten with a dipping sauce, such as a mixture of dark vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
The best time to make the dipping sauce is while you wait for the water to boil. If you make fresh dumplings, you can also do it while waiting for the dough to rise.
Customize the dipping sauce with different ingredients like rice wine vinegar and scallions.
3-7. Store leftover potstickers in a resealable container in the refrigerator.
The potstickers will last about 3 days in the refrigerator. Keep them covered so they don't absorb moisture and fall apart. Since they can be cooked fast and in small batches, you may not even get a chance to store them before they're all gone, but consider storing the raw dumplings and cooking only what you plan on eating.
They also store well in the freezer. Lay them out on parchment paper to freeze for 30 minutes, then move them into a resealable bag. They should last about 3 months.
Tips
Dumplings can also be steamed in a steamer basket or in a microwave.
Dumpling wrappers can be bought premade. Look online or in Asian markets.
Customize your dumplings with different fillings or by cooking them with alternative ingredients.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Making Boiled Chinese Dumplings in a Pot\\n1-1. Make the dough for the dumplings if you haven't already.\\nA basic dough can be made by mixing flour, water, and salt together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Knead the dough and let it rest for about 2 hours. When it is ready, cut it up into small chunks. You can drop the dough balls directly into the water or roll them out to turn them into wrappers for Chinese dumplings.\\nYou may also be able to buy fresh, uncooked dumplings. Ask around at local restaurants that serve fresh dumplings.\\n1-2. Fill\\nChinese dumplings are often filled with mixtures of meat and vegetables. For example, cook up a pork and cabbage filling using ground pork, napa cabbage, soy sauce, and herbs and spices. Place a small amount of filling in the center of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper over on itself.\\nAdd different ingredients to customize the filling. For instance, you can make a filling out of pork and cabbage or out of vegetables.\\n1-3. Freeze dumplings if you aren't cooking them right away.\\nAvoid leaving the dumplings out at room temperature for more than 30 minutes. To preserve them, place a piece of parchment paper over a baking sheet. Dust the paper with flour or cornstarch, arrange the dumplings in a single layer on the paper, then put the tray in the oven for 30 minutes. Once the dumplings freeze, move them to airtight containers or freezer bags.\\nFreezing is especially important for filled dumplings. The dough will absorb moisture from the filling and fall apart when you cook it.\\n1-4. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat.\\nFill a large pot about ⅔ full with cold water and place it on your stove. To speed up the boiling time, cover the pot first. Wait for the water to rapidly bubble.\\n1-5. Stir a small batch of dumplings into the water.\\nCook a small number of dumplings at any given time. You can add about 8 dumplings to an average-sized pot. The dumplings should form a single layer at the bottom of the pan. Stir them in so they don't stick together.\\nFrozen homemade dumplings do not need to be thawed. If you buy preserved dumplings, like the kind from your supermarket freezer aisle, you can usually let them thaw for about 15 minutes as you boil to the water or prepare a dipping sauce.\\nIf you have a particularly big pot or small dumplings, you may be able to cook the dumplings in larger batches.\\n1-6.

Wait for the water to boil and the dumplings to float again. Repeat this until they are cooked through.\\n1-8. Move the dumplings immediately to a serving plate.\\nToo much water is bad for the dumplings, so fish them out with a slotted spoon right away. Place them in a single layer on a plate or tray. Avoid stacking them or else they may absorb water and fall apart.\\nYou can pour the pot's contents into a strainer as well to drain the water.\\n1-9.

How to Boil Eggs
|
1. Hard-Boiled Eggs
1-1. Place up to 6 eggs in a large saucepan.
Make sure to use a saucepan large and deep enough to hold all your eggs in a single layer (not stacking any on top of the others) with some room for them to move around.
1-2. Cover the eggs with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water.
Place the pan in the sink and fill it with cool temperature water until the eggs are covered by about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water.
The more eggs you boil, the more water you’ll need. If you’re using more than 6 eggs, cover them with 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water to ensure a good boil.
1-3. Add vinegar or salt to prevent the eggs from cracking.
Add 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of vinegar or ⁄2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) salt to keep the eggs from cracking in the pan. Adding salt also makes it easier to peel the eggs when you’re ready to eat!
1-4. Bring the pan to a rolling boil on the stove for 10 minutes.
Place the pan on the stove and heat it on high until the water gets to a rolling boil. You can leave the pan uncovered while you boil.
If you see an egg crack while you’re boiling, continue cooking it. Some of the white might slip out of the shell a bit, but it will be safe to eat as long as you cook it fully.
1-5. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for 6-16 minutes.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, shut off the heat, cover the pan, and let it sit on the burner for 6-16 minutes, depending on how hard you like your eggs.
If you want your yolks a little translucent and runny in the middle, let them sit in the water for 6 minutes.
If you want a classic hard-boiled egg with a firm yolk, let your eggs steep for 10-12 minutes.
For hard, slightly crumbly yolks, keep your eggs in the water for 16 minutes.
1-6. Strain the water and run the eggs under cold water.
Pour the water out of the pan and run the eggs under cold water for a minute or so to stop them from cooking. Touch them gently to tell when they’re cool enough to handle.
To test if your eggs are done, remove one with a slotted spoon, run it under cold water, and cut it open with a knife. If the yolk isn’t done to your taste, let the other eggs sit for 1-2 more minutes.
If you’re worried about your eggs rolling out when you strain, tilt the pan over the sink while holding the lid over the opening so that the water runs out through a crack.
You can also cool your eggs by letting them sit in a bowl of ice water for 1-2 minutes.
1-7. Store hard-boiled eggs in their shells in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you want to store your eggs, remove them from the water as soon as they’re cool. Set them back in their original carton to prevent them from absorbing other food odors and eat within 1 week.
Only store hard-boiled eggs that are still in their shell. Once you peel the shell off, you should make sure to eat the egg that day.
If a hard-boiled egg feels slimy after you peel it, throw the egg away. This is a sign that bacteria have started to grow and the egg isn’t good.
1-8. Tap the egg on the counter and peel the shell under cold water.
When you’re ready to eat, tap your egg gently on the counter to crack the shell, then roll it with the palm of your hand until the cracks have spread all over the egg. Then, hold the egg under running, room temperature water and peel the shell off.
If you’re still having trouble peeling your eggs, crack the shells and soak them in a pot of water for 10-15 minutes. Water will work under the shell, making it easier to peel off.
1-9. Eat hard-boiled eggs plain, as an appetizer, or on a salad.
Hard-boiled eggs with a dash of salt and pepper are great for a quick, healthy snack. You can also cut them in half to make deviled eggs, or slice them up for a tasty salad topper.
2. Soft-Boiled Eggs with Runny Yolks
2-1. Pour water into a large saucepan and heat to a boil, then simmer.
Fill your pan with enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Set it on the stove over high heat. Once the water gets to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer.
Choose a saucepan that’s big enough to hold your eggs in a single layer. For a good measurement, set your eggs in the saucepan and fill it with water, then remove them before you start boiling.
2-2. Add up to 4 eggs and let sit for 5-7 minutes.
Use tongs or a spoon to set your eggs in the simmering water. Set a timer for 5-7 minutes, depending on how runny you want your yolk. If you’re boiling 3-4 eggs, add 15-30 seconds onto your time.
For a runny yolk, let your eggs boil for 5 minutes.
For slightly firmer yolk, boil your eggs for 6-7 minutes.
Soft-boil in batches if you want more than 4 eggs.
2-3. Remove the eggs and run them under cold water for 1 minute.
Use a slotted spoon to pull out your eggs one by one. Run them under cold tap water for 30 seconds to a minute so they stop cooking and are cool enough to handle.
2-4. Set the egg in a cup or small bowl and tap around the top to remove it.
Place your egg upright in an egg cup or a small bowl filled with an uncooked grain, like rice, to keep it standing up. Tap the egg around the pointy top with a butter knife to loosen it, then pull it off with your fingers.
You won’t be able to store soft-boiled eggs, so eat them right away, while they’re still warm and gooey.
2-5. Eat the egg right from the shell or with toast.
To eat, simply spoon the egg right from the shell into your mouth. You can also slice toast into thin strips and dip them into the yolk.
If your egg is more firmly cooked, you can carefully crack it, peel the shell, and enjoy it on toast for a warm, savory breakfast treat.
Tips
If you’re making hard-boiled eggs at a high altitude, let the eggs sit in the hot water for longer. You can also lower the heat and let them simmer for 10-12 minutes.[18]

Research source
If you’re using fresh eggs, try steaming them to make them easier to peel. Pour 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Place the eggs in the basket and steam for 15 minutes, then peel and eat.[19]

Research source
You can also try boiling eggs in an instant pot, which makes them easy to peel.
Warnings
Don’t pierce the shell before cooking. Though some recipes recommend this, using a non-sterile piercer can introduce bacteria into the egg. It also creates tiny cracks in the shell, which allow bacteria to enter after cooking.
Don’t microwave an egg in its shell. The steam will build up inside the shell and make the egg explode.

How to Boil Eggs in a Rice Cooker
|
1. Boiling by Themselves
1-1. Add the water.
Add about a cup of water into the rice cooker.
1-2. Insert the steam rack or basket in the cooker.
Some rice cooker models have an attachment basket available to use, as this works as well.
1-3. Add the eggs onto the basket.
Make sure that they stand upright, so the bottom of them is down. This will balance out the yolks and be the ideal finish if you are making deviled eggs.
1-4. Cover the cooker with a lid.
It's important not to lift the lid on during the cooking process, or else all of the steam will escape.
1-5. Cook the eggs.
Push down the rice cooker button and set the time for 20 minutes.
2. Boiling Them with Rice
2-1. Prepare your rice.
Many Japanese rice brands suggest rinsing the rice out, but it is completely optional.
2-2. Fill the rice cooker with water.
Depending how many cups of rice you are making, add a half cup more of water.
2-3. Add the eggs onto the rice grains.
Make sure that they stand upright, so the bottom of them is down. This will balance out the yolks and be the ideal finish if you are making deviled eggs.
2-4. Cover the cooker with a lid.
It's important not to lift the lid on during the cooking process, or else all of the steam will escape.
2-5. Cook the eggs and rice.
Push down the rice cooker button and allow the rice to completely cook.
3. Finishing the Eggs
3-1. Make an ice bath.
In a large bowl, add cold water and ice cubes so that it fills up to the rim.

How to Boil Fish
|
1. Gathering Your Supplies
1-1. Choose the right type of fish.
Traditional fish boil recipes use fish local to Wisconsin and Lake Michigan, such as lake trout and whitefish. However, you can use scrod, cod, haddock, or salmon if you don’t have access to local whitefish. For this recipe, you’ll need (4) ½ pound whitefish steaks.
If you want to adjust the recipe for a larger group, have approximately a ½ pound to ¾ pound (227 g to 340 g) of fish per person.
1-2. Find a large cast-iron pot and fire logs for an outdoor boil.
If you are planning a traditional outdoor fish boil, you’ll boil the fish in a large pot on an open fire. A cast-iron pot typically works best, and you’ll need logs or slab wood, as well as matches or a lighter, for the fire.
If you can’t find a cast-iron pot or kettle for the fish boil, you can use a stainless steel or aluminum pot.
It also helps to have a wire basket that you can place the fish in and lower into the pot that you’re using. That makes it easier to remove the fish while it’s finished boiling.
Make sure that you have extra logs or slab wood on hand for the fire in case you to feed it during the fish boil.
Instead of a log fire, you can use a propane torch to heat the pot for the boil.
1-3. Select a large stockpot for an indoor boil.
You can recreate a fish boil at home without starting an outdoor fire. Instead, use a large stainless steel or aluminum stock pot with on your stovetop. If your pot has a basket or a strainer insert, you’ll have an easier time removing the fish when they’re done cooking.
If you don’t have a strainer or basket for the pot, use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the water when they’ve finished boiling.
2. Boiling the Fish
2-1. Salt the water and bring it to a boil.
Fill your pot with approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water. Stir in ¾ cup (177 g) of kosher salt until it’s thoroughly combined. Next, allow the pot to come to a full, rolling boil.
If you’re cooking the fish on an outdoor fire, throw additional logs on the wood to feed the flames if the pot isn’t boiling.
If you’re cooking on the stove, the heat should be set at high.
2-2. Add the seasonings to the water and boil for several minutes.
Take a piece of cheesecloth, and create a seasoning packet with equal parts bay leaves, whole allspice, and peppercorns in equal proportions that is approximately half the size of golf ball. Add it to the water and allow it to boil for 2 to 3 minutes.
You can add any spices or seasonings that you like, such as fresh rosemary or thyme, to the packet.
2-3. Place the fish in the water and boil for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
Arrange the fish in a wire basket, and submerge it in the pot. Wait for the water to return to a boil, which may take 2 to 3 minutes, and then allow the fish to boil until you can flake it easily with a fork, which should take approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
2-4. Skim the froth and remove the fish.
Once the fish flakes easily and is ready to be removed from the pot, take a moment to skim the froth from the surface of the water with a spoon so the fish won’t pass through it when you remove it. Lift the basket from the pot and drain carefully.
If you don’t use a wire basket for the fish, remove the individual pieces from the pot with a slotted spoon, shaking carefully to ensure that they’re fully drained.
3. Adding Vegetables to the Boil
3-1. Clean the potatoes and peel the onions.
While you can boil fish without any vegetables, a traditional fish boil typically includes potatoes and onions, which are partially boiled before you add the fish. Take 1 ½ pounds (680 g) of medium red potatoes, and scrub them with a nylon brush to ensure that they’re clean. Gather 8 small onions, and peel the skins from them, but leave the stem ends in tact.
Scrub the potatoes under cold, running water. If you don’t have a brush, you can scrub them with your hands.
The easiest way to peel the onions is to slice a half inch (1.3 cm) off the top and peel back the papery skin from the top.
3-2. Combine the potatoes and onions in the stockpot and cover with water.
In your pot, combine the scrubbed potatoes and peeled onions. Cover the vegetables with approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water, or enough that the water level is 2 inches (5 cm) above the potatoes and onions.
3-3. Add the salt and bring to a boil.
Stir ¾ cup (177 g) of kosher salt into the water with the potatoes and onions. Allow the pot to come to a full, rolling boil.
If you’re cooking on a stove, make sure the burner is set to high.
3-4. Cook the potatoes and onions until the potatoes are nearly tender.
Once the pot comes to boil, allow the mixture to cook for approximately 15 minutes. You want the potatoes to be almost tender when you stick a fork in them.
It’s important to keep the heat steady while you’re cooking the potatoes and onions, so be sure to maintain your fire or refrain from adjusting the burner.
3-5. Add the fish on top of the vegetables.
When the potatoes are tender, place the fish directly on top of the vegetables. Complete the boiling process exactly as you would without any vegetables.
4. Completing the Dish
4-1. Remove the fish from the pot and put on a platter.
When the whitefish steaks are well drained, transfer them to a serving platter or plate. Handle the fish carefully when moving them to the plate to ensure that they don’t break.
To keep the boiled fish warm, it helps to warm the platter before you place the steaks on it. You can warm an oven- or microwave-safe plate in the respective appliance to warm it, or simply run the platter under hot water to warm it up.
4-2. Place the vegetables around the fish and garnish with herbs.
Once you’ve set the fish on the platter, transfer the potatoes and onions from the pot to the platter with the slotted spoon. Arrange them so they’re surrounding the fish, and then garnish with 2 tablespoons (30 g) of fresh flat-leaf parsley that’s been finely chopped.
You should also season the entire platter with plenty of freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4-3. Serve the fish with melted butter and lemons.
When you bring the boiled fish to the table, have ¼ pound (113) melted, unsalted butter on hand to pour over it. Make sure to have at least 4 lemon wedges as well for guests to squeeze over the fish.
Tips
You can add other vegetables to the boil if you want. For example, carrots are sometimes included with the potatoes and onions at fish boils.
Fish boils are traditionally cooked over an open fire on the beach or near the water, so it’s an ideal option for an outdoor summer gathering.
Coleslaw and some type of rolls or bread are usually served as sides to the boiled fish and vegetables.

If your pot has a basket or a strainer insert, you’ll have an easier time removing the fish when they’re done cooking.\\nIf you don’t have a strainer or basket for the pot, use a slotted spoon to remove the fish from the water when they’ve finished boiling.\\n2. Boiling the Fish\\n2-1. Salt the water and bring it to a boil.\\nFill your pot with approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water. Stir in ¾ cup (177 g) of kosher salt until it’s thoroughly combined. Next, allow the pot to come to a full, rolling boil. \\nIf you’re cooking the fish on an outdoor fire, throw additional logs on the wood to feed the flames if the pot isn’t boiling.\\nIf you’re cooking on the stove, the heat should be set at high.\\n2-2. Add the seasonings to the water and boil for several minutes.\\nTake a piece of cheesecloth, and create a seasoning packet with equal parts bay leaves, whole allspice, and peppercorns in equal proportions that is approximately half the size of golf ball. Add it to the water and allow it to boil for 2 to 3 minutes. \\nYou can add any spices or seasonings that you like, such as fresh rosemary or thyme, to the packet.\\n2-3. Place the fish in the water and boil for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily.\\nArrange the fish in a wire basket, and submerge it in the pot. Wait for the water to return to a boil, which may take 2 to 3 minutes, and then allow the fish to boil until you can flake it easily with a fork, which should take approximately 10 to 12 minutes.\\n2-4. Skim the froth and remove the fish.\\nOnce the fish flakes easily and is ready to be removed from the pot, take a moment to skim the froth from the surface of the water with a spoon so the fish won’t pass through it when you remove it. Lift the basket from the pot and drain carefully. \\nIf you don’t use a wire basket for the fish, remove the individual pieces from the pot with a slotted spoon, shaking carefully to ensure that they’re fully drained.\\n3. Adding Vegetables to the Boil\\n3-1. Clean the potatoes and peel the onions.\\nWhile you can boil fish without any vegetables, a traditional fish boil typically includes potatoes and onions, which are partially boiled before you add the fish. Take 1 ½ pounds (680 g) of medium red potatoes, and scrub them with a nylon brush to ensure that they’re clean. Gather 8 small onions, and peel the skins from them, but leave the stem ends in tact.\\nScrub the potatoes under cold, running water. If you don’t have a brush, you can scrub them with your hands.\\nThe easiest way to peel the onions is to slice a half inch (1.3 cm) off the top and peel back the papery skin from the top.\\n3-2. Combine the potatoes and onions in the stockpot and cover with water.\\nIn your pot, combine the scrubbed potatoes and peeled onions. Cover the vegetables with approximately 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water, or enough that the water level is 2 inches (5 cm) above the potatoes and onions.\\n3-3. Add the salt and bring to a boil.\\nStir ¾ cup (177 g) of kosher salt into the water with the potatoes and onions. Allow the pot to come to a full, rolling boil.\\nIf you’re cooking on a stove, make sure the burner is set to high.\\n3-4. Cook the potatoes and onions until the potatoes are nearly tender.\\nOnce the pot comes to boil, allow the mixture to cook for approximately 15 minutes. You want the potatoes to be almost tender when you stick a fork in them.\\nIt’s important to keep the heat steady while you’re cooking the potatoes and onions, so be sure to maintain your fire or refrain from adjusting the burner.\\n3-5. Add the fish on top of the vegetables.\\nWhen the potatoes are tender, place the fish directly on top of the vegetables. Complete the boiling process exactly as you would without any vegetables.\\n4. Completing the Dish\\n4-1. Remove the fish from the pot and put on a platter.\\nWhen the whitefish steaks are well drained, transfer them to a serving platter or plate. Handle the fish carefully when moving them to the plate to ensure that they don’t break.\\nTo keep the boiled fish warm, it helps to warm the platter before you place the steaks on it. You can warm an oven- or microwave-safe plate in the respective appliance to warm it, or simply run the platter under hot water to warm it up.\\n4-2. Place the vegetables around the fish and garnish with herbs.\\nOnce you’ve set the fish on the platter, transfer the potatoes and onions from the pot to the platter with the slotted spoon. Arrange them so they’re surrounding the fish, and then garnish with 2 tablespoons (30 g) of fresh flat-leaf parsley that’s been finely chopped.\\nYou should also season the entire platter with plenty of freshly ground black pepper to taste.\\n4-3. Serve the fish with melted butter and lemons.\\nWhen you bring the boiled fish to the table, have ¼ pound (113) melted, unsalted butter on hand to pour over it. Make sure to have at least 4 lemon wedges as well for guests to squeeze over the fish.\\nTips\\nYou can add other vegetables to the boil if you want. For example, carrots are sometimes included with the potatoes and onions at fish boils.\\nFish boils are traditionally cooked over an open fire on the beach or near the water, so it’s an ideal option for an outdoor summer gathering.\\nColeslaw and some type of rolls or bread are usually served as sides to the boiled fish and vegetables.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"If you've spent any time in Wisconsin's Door County, chances are you've enjoyed a tasty fish boil.

How to Boil Gammon
|
1. Boiling Gammon with Tonic Water
1-1. Boil your gammon for 10 minutes.
Put your gammon in a large saucepan. Add tap water to the pan until the gammon is completely covered. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 10 minutes.
Place a cover over the pan to trap the heat. Tilt the cover so that some steam or air can escape the pan. The cover will keep the heat in the pan and ensure that the gammon is properly boiled throughout.
1-2. Take the pan off the stove after 10 minutes and get rid of the water.
After 10 minutes in boiling water, your gammon will be well cooked. Take the cover off the pan and place it to the side. Use oven gloves to hold the sides of the pan. Slowly pour the water down the drain or sink.
You can also use the cover to keep the gammon in the pan and drain the water. Tilt it so the gammon can't fall out and leave the water drain out of the pan.
1-3. Cover the gammon with tonic water in the pan.
Open the bottle and pour the tonic water straight into the pan on top of your gammon. Add enough tonic water to the pan so you completely cover the gammon.
1-4. Boil the water and then simmer it for between 1 and 3 hours.
Once the water in your pan starts to bubble again, turn the heat on the stove down. Let the gammon simmer in the pan for 1 hour if it's small in size. If you have a very large amount of gammon, let it simmer for around 3 hours. The larger the gammon, the longer you can leave it simmer.
Small gammon is gammon between 200–400 grams (7.1–14.1 oz) in weight. Large gammon is anything above 700 grams (25 oz) in weight.
1-5. Serve your gammon.
After your gammon has finished simmering, it's ready for serving. Serve the gammon hot with potato, cauliflower, or other sides. You can also let the gammon go cold and make sandwiches with it for the next few days.
To store the gammon for another day, place it in the fridge in a container as soon as possible after your meal. Consume the gammon within 3 days of placing it in the fridge.
2. Making Boiled Gammon
2-1. Weigh your gammon on a scale.
Place your gammon on the weighing scales in your kitchen. Write down the weight of the gammon on a piece of paper. If you bought the gammon from a butcher and you asked for a certain amount, there's no need to weigh it.
2-2. Place the gammon in a large bowl of cold water overnight.
This will get rid of the excess salt in the gammon. Soak the gammon in water for a few hours if you don't have the time to do it overnight.
If you don't have a few hours, boil the gammon for 30 minutes to get rid of the salt.
2-3. Put the gammon in a saucepan with cold water and add ingredients.
After you've removed the excess salt from the gammon, put in a large saucepan. Cover the gammon with cold water, either from the tap or a bottle.
Add an onion, a lemon, and 1 tsp (10 g) of black pepper to enhance the taste of the gammon.
Slowly bring the water to the boil after you've added the ingredients.
2-4. Simmer the gammon for between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
Smaller gammon, less than 500 grams (18 oz) in weight, should be simmered for 30 minutes. Larger gammon, heavier than 500 grams (18 oz), should be simmered for 1 hour.
2-5. Use a spoon or a ladle to remove any scum from the water.
As the gammon simmers, some materials such as pieces of meat and fat will float to the top of the water. Remove these materials from the water. Try to take as little water as possible when using your spoon or ladle to remove these products.
2-6. Let the water and gammon cool for 10 minutes before taking it out.
Drain the water into your sink first. The pan shouldn't be too hot to the touch, but wear oven gloves just in case. Once you've drained the water, take your gammon out of the pan.
If the skin is still on your gammon, peel it off before placing it on a plate to be served.
2-7. Serve your gammon.
If you want, you can drizzle sauces over your gammon for extra taste before you serve it. Gammon goes with a variety of flavors. When it's hot, add it to a dish with potatoes, peas, and cauliflower. Use it as a part of sandwiches when it's cold.
If you want to keep your gammon for leftovers, place it in a fridge as soon as possible. Consume it within 3 days of placing it in the fridge.

How to Boil Ground Beef
|
1. Cooking the Meat
1-1. Put 1-3 pounds (454-1360 g) of ground beef into a large pot.
You can use any pot with walls that are at least 4–6 in (10–15 cm) tall. Remove the packaging from your ground beef, and place all of the meat in the middle of the pot.
If your meat is frozen, place it in your fridge for a few hours to thaw before you cook it.
1-2. Add seasoning as desired if you want to flavor your ground beef.
While this is optional, it can help make your beef taste better, as boiled beef can often taste rather bland. Use 1–2 tablespoons (14.8–29.6 ml) (15-30 g) of any seasoning you’d like! Sprinkle the seasoning onto the meat before you add the water. If you are making food for your dog, it is best not to use seasoning.
You can use 1–2 tablespoon (14.8–29.6 ml) (15-30 g) of taco seasoning if you're making tacos, for instance.
You can also use 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) (15 g) of garlic, rosemary, and/or thyme for yummy seasoning options.
1-3. Submerge the beef in 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) of water.
After your beef and/or seasoning is in the pot, pour water over top of the meat so it is completely covered. Depending on the size of your pot, you can pour about 2–3 in (5.1–7.6 cm) of water inside.
The amount of water does not have to be exact, as long as the beef is submerged entirely.
1-4. Use your spoon or spatula to break up the meat.
Once the meat is submerged, you can easily break it apart using a kitchen tool. Insert a kitchen spoon into the middle of the meat, and wiggle it around to separate the ground beef. You can lift up the spoon and insert it into other large chunks of meat until it is all broken up.
Separating the meat helps it all cook evenly.
1-5. Bring the water to a boil.
Once the meat is broken apart, you are ready to cook it. Adjust the burner to a high heat setting to boil the water. Your water should boil in about 3-5 minutes or so.
Boiling times vary based on your particular oven and pot.
1-6. Cook the beef on medium heat until the meat is completely brown.
Once your water boils, turn your heat setting to medium, and continue stirring the beef until it is brown. The amount of time it takes to brown your ground beef will depend on your stovetop and pot. In general, this should take about 3-5 minutes.
Stirring the beef continuously ensures it cooks thoroughly.
2. Straining the Liquid
2-1. Set a strainer inside of a large bowl.
When you strain your beef, you don’t want to pour the grease down the drain, as this can clog your pipes. Instead, place a large plastic or metal bowl on your countertop or inside of your sink.
This way, you can catch the liquid inside the bowl, rather than pouring it down your drain.
2-2. Pour the meat and liquid into a strainer.
Place a strainer on top of your bowl, and pour the contents of your pot carefully to avoid spilling the meat or harming yourself. As you do this, ensure the liquid goes into the bowl and your meat stays in the strainer.
Wear an oven mitt to prevent any burns.
2-3. Rinse the meat under hot water to remove any remaining fat if needed.
If your ground beef is extra fatty, gently wash off any remaining fat or grease. Put the bowl in the sink and hold your strainer over top. Then, pour some water over the meat from your faucet. Avoid overflowing the bowl, if you can. A quick rinse will help rinse off any remaining fat or residue.
Keep in mind that this is optional. You can use your meat right after it is strained.
If there's not much liquid in your bowl, you can go with the same one used to strain the meat. If the bowl is full, get another one.
2-4. Cool the liquid slightly before you discard it.
Let the grease liquid come to room temperature, and pour it from the bowl into a glass jar or tin can. Then, wait for the liquid to solidify in the container before you throw it away.
This is a safe way to dispose of the grease without clogging your drains.
3. Using and Storing Boiled Ground Beef
3-1. Use the cooked ground beef right away to make healthy meals.
After you strain the meat, you can use it to cook things like tacos or stews. Boiled ground beef has significantly less fat and grease than if you browned it in a pan with oil, so you can use this as a lean substitute in nearly any dish.
For instance, throw your cooked ground beef back into the pot and add your favorite chili ingredients, like black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans.
3-2. Feed your dog with the boiled beef depending on its size and weight.
On average, an adult dog eats 2.5% of their body weight in raw dog food. To determine how much lean ground beef to feed your dog, multiply your dog’s weight by 2.5. Then, give your dog the appropriate amount of food each day.
For example, if your dog weighs 22 lbs (10 kg), feed it 8.5 oz (250 g) of food per day.
3-3. Store your meat in the fridge for 1-2 days if you plan on using it soon.
If you want to make your ground beef in advance, place it into an airtight container after you strain it and let it cool. Then, use your meat whenever you're ready for a quick and tasty meal option.
You can use a Tupperware container, for example.
If you keep your boiled ground beef in the fridge for more than a day or two, it may get very squishy.
3-4. Package the meat into Ziploc bags if you want to freeze it.
If you want to save your boiled ground beef to use at a later time, let the meat cool to room temperature. Use a spoon to scoop up the meat and place it inside of the bag. Fill the bag about 3/4 of the way full, and place it inside your freezer. You can use the frozen meat to cook with at a later time or to feed your dog in the future.
When you want to use your frozen meat, let it thaw in the fridge for 2-4 hours.
For best results, use your frozen meat within 1-3 months.
Tips
If you overcook your ground beef, it may taste even more mushy. Ensure you remove it from the heat as soon as it turns brown.

How to Boil Lasagna Noodles
|
1. Boiling the Noodles
1-1. Bring water to a boil.
Fill a large pot with a good amount of water. Be careful not to overfill it though, as the water could end up boiling over. Make sure the water is boiling before moving on to the next step.
Don't forget to add a dash of salt.
1-2. Add lasagna noodles to the water.
Firstly, check your recipe to see how much lasagna noodles are needed. You might find yourself with leftovers. Have your wooden spoon ready as you need to start the next step instantly.
Take care when dropping your noodles into the pot. Otherwise, you could get splashed by boiling water.
1-3. Stir continuously for the first two minutes.
Lasagna noodles are large and flat, lending themselves towards sticking together. The first two minutes is crucial, if you want to avoid being left with clumps of noodles.
Not stirring could result in the noodles sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Separate the lasagna noodles effectively by using a chopstick.
1-4. Don't let the water boil over.
After you’ve added the lasagna noodles, you will notice the water simmering. When it returns to a boil, adjust the element to keep the water boiling consistently. This should help to prevent the water spilling out. Stay attentive as this could occur later in the process too.
Using a lid is more likely to cause a boil over. Covering the pot will trap steam, causing starch molecules to overheat.
1-5. Stir the pot two or three more times.
Now that the water is boiling, the lasagna noodles should stay spaced apart. Don't risk them sticking together or sinking to the bottom, so return to the element and stir a few more times.
If noodles are heating too close together, they won't release starch properly. The starch can turn to glue, leaving you with unusable lasagna noodles.
2. Draining and Cooling Lasagna Noodles
2-1. Check that 8-10 minutes have passed.
Be precise with your timing. After 8-10 minutes you can begin the final stages of the process.
Read the packaging as the suggested cooking time could vary.
2-2. Take a piece out and test if it's ready.
Ideally, a properly cooked lasagna noodle has a hint of firmness and offers some resistance to your bite. Does it taste good? Now you can switch the element off.
Lasagna noodles should be cooked to the 'al dente' stage, an Italian term which means 'to the tooth'. This is when the middle isn’t too hard, soft or mushy.
2-3. Pour the lasagna noodles into a colander.
Make sure they have been drained of all water. Release them slowly into the colander because the noodles could potentially still stick together.
Be cautious when draining the lasagna noodles to avoid getting hit by steam.
2-4. Leave the lasagna noodles to cool before adding them to your dish.
You can do this by laying them out on paper towels. Now your noodles will be easier to use when you go to make lasagna.
For better results, instead of paper towels you can place lasagna noodles on oiled baking paper. You can also drizzle olive oil along the bottom of your baking pan.

How to Boil Lobster Tails
|
1. Thawing the Lobster Tails
1-1. Find fresh or frozen lobster tails at a grocery or seafood store.
Unless you live in a place where freshly caught lobster can be purchased at supermarkets, your local specialty market or a quality grocery store will have the best lobster for you to use. The fresher the better, but frozen lobster tails work too.
Avoid lobster tails that are packaged with sodium triphosphate. The chemical weighs down the lobster tails, making them more expensive by weight.
1-2. Thaw frozen tails in the refrigerator 8-10 hours before cooking.
You can keep the tails in the packaging they came in. They need time to fully defrost to prevent any sticking between the meat and the shell, as well as to improve the evenness of the cooking when you boil them.
If you don't have time to thaw the tails in the fridge overnight, thaw them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
1-3. Rinse the tails in cool water.
Hold them under the tap with your hands or tongs, trying to rinse every surface of the tail. When you have cleaned the tail, you can dry it with a paper towel or let it air dry before you trim it.
This prevents any unclean substances that may have been on the lobster tails from contaminating your food. Lobsters live at the bottom of the sea, and can have quite a bit of debris on them.
1-4. Use shears or a knife to cut the lobster tail lengthwise along the middle.
You should cut the lobster all the way back to the very tip of the fin. Try to avoid cutting into the meat, so that it does not break apart during the boiling. Instead, keep the shears well above the meat by pulling up on the shell as you cut.
Kitchen shears are a safer choice than a knife, since the knife has to face upwards to cut the shell.
1-5. Use your thumps to pull apart the tail along the incision.
The incision you made allows you to easily break apart the shell all the way along the middle. Keep the meat inside the shell for boiling and serving.
2. Cooking the Lobster
2-1. Place a large pot filled with water on the stove.
Fill the pot 2/3 full with water to help prevent boiling over. The size of the pot you need depends upon the number of tails you plan to boil. For 8 ounces (230 g) tails, a good rule of thumb is to use 1.5 cups (350 mL) of water per tail.
You can also boil lobster tails in batches, instead of all at once.
You may salt the water with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) to 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of salt to raise the boiling point of the water and help it reach a gentler boil.
2-2. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
Set the heat to high in order to reach a fast-paced boil. While you will later turn down the heat, as you begin to place the lobsters in the pot, the bubbles should be rapidly reaching the surface.
2-3. Place the lobster tails in the water.
Use kitchen tongs to gently submerge the tails, being sure that each of them is fully submerged below the surface. Check that the tails have room between one another.
Be careful not to splash the boiling water on yourself or anyone near you. Adding the tails one at a time can help keep the water in the pot.
2-4. Turn the burner down to medium or medium high.
While the tails are cooking, maintain a boil just above simmer, rather than a rolling boil. This helps the tails cook all the way through before separating from the shell.
2-5. Boil the lobster for 1 minute per 1 ounce (28 g).
Most lobster tails require between 5 and 12 minutes to cook all the way through. Depending on the heat level and how full the pot is, it may begin to boil over. Turn down the heat if this happens.
2-6. Poke the lobster meat with a fork.
The lobster tails are ready when the meat is white and has a tender texture. The shells should have a bright red hue to them, and appear nearly separate from the meat.
If the lobster is not ready, do not remove from the water. It is important to cook the lobster all the way through.
2-7. Set the lobster tails in a colander or strainer.
You can use a number of kitchen tools to pull the tails out of the water, including a slotted spoon or tongs. Anything that can gently remove the tails without separating the meat from the shell works.
You can drain the tails in a colander if you wish.
3. Serving the Lobster Tails
3-1. Slice the meat lengthwise all the way through for ease, if desired.
Lobster meat is easier to eat if it has been pre-sliced down the middle. If you made an incision earlier, it will most likely be enough for the average diner, but cutting all the way through makes using a fork much easier.
3-2. Butter the lobster tails.
One classic choice for enhancing the flavor of lobster is to serve it with melted butter, either on the side or already melted on the tail. Use a basting brush or a fork to spread around enough butter to lightly coat the top of each tail.
One option is to make clarified butter, which is melted butter strained through cheesecloth or scraped for excess fats. It is a very common dipping sauce for seafood like lobster.
3-3. Squeeze lemon over the tail.
Lemon juice adds a pleasant acidic taste to the creamy lobster meat. If you plant to serve your tails with lemon, you can choose to squeeze the juice over them yourself, or cut up lemon slices for your guests to use themselves.
3-4. Choose herbs for the dish.
Parsley and basil are classic choices for serving with lobster. Garnish the meat and the plate with herbs if you plan to use them. Combining butter, lemon, and herbs creates a tried-and-true, delicious flavor combination
3-5. Cut up the meat for use in another recipe.
Now that the lobster has been cooked in a simple fashion, the meat can be used in nearly any recipe calling for lobster meat. If you plan to use the meat in another recipe, do so immediately, as the cooked lobster tails won't keep as well as frozen ones.
Tips
You can also "piggyback" lobster tails for serving. Use a pair of kitchen shears to cut through the middle top of the shell. Slice the lobster meat halfway through along the center line. Lift the tail through the slit in the shell and rest it on the top of the shell.[8]

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Thawing the Lobster Tails\\n1-1. Find fresh or frozen lobster tails at a grocery or seafood store.\\nUnless you live in a place where freshly caught lobster can be purchased at supermarkets, your local specialty market or a quality grocery store will have the best lobster for you to use. The fresher the better, but frozen lobster tails work too.\\nAvoid lobster tails that are packaged with sodium triphosphate. The chemical weighs down the lobster tails, making them more expensive by weight.\\n1-2. Thaw frozen tails in the refrigerator 8-10 hours before cooking.\\nYou can keep the tails in the packaging they came in. They need time to fully defrost to prevent any sticking between the meat and the shell, as well as to improve the evenness of the cooking when you boil them.\\nIf you don't have time to thaw the tails in the fridge overnight, thaw them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.\\n1-3. Rinse the tails in cool water.\\nHold them under the tap with your hands or tongs, trying to rinse every surface of the tail. When you have cleaned the tail, you can dry it with a paper towel or let it air dry before you trim it.\\nThis prevents any unclean substances that may have been on the lobster tails from contaminating your food. Lobsters live at the bottom of the sea, and can have quite a bit of debris on them.\\n1-4. Use shears or a knife to cut the lobster tail lengthwise along the middle.\\nYou should cut the lobster all the way back to the very tip of the fin. Try to avoid cutting into the meat, so that it does not break apart during the boiling. Instead, keep the shears well above the meat by pulling up on the shell as you cut.\\nKitchen shears are a safer choice than a knife, since the knife has to face upwards to cut the shell.\\n1-5. Use your thumps to pull apart the tail along the incision.\\nThe incision you made allows you to easily break apart the shell all the way along the middle. Keep the meat inside the shell for boiling and serving.\\n2. Cooking the Lobster\\n2-1. Place a large pot filled with water on the stove.\\nFill the pot 2/3 full with water to help prevent boiling over. The size of the pot you need depends upon the number of tails you plan to boil. For 8 ounces (230 g) tails, a good rule of thumb is to use 1.5 cups (350 mL) of water per tail.\\nYou can also boil lobster tails in batches, instead of all at once.\\nYou may salt the water with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) to 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of salt to raise the boiling point of the water and help it reach a gentler boil.\\n2-2. Bring the water to a rolling boil.\\nSet the heat to high in order to reach a fast-paced boil. While you will later turn down the heat, as you begin to place the lobsters in the pot, the bubbles should be rapidly reaching the surface.\\n2-3. Place the lobster tails in the water.\\nUse kitchen tongs to gently submerge the tails, being sure that each of them is fully submerged below the surface. Check that the tails have room between one another.\\nBe careful not to splash the boiling water on yourself or anyone near you. Adding the tails one at a time can help keep the water in the pot.\\n2-4. Turn the burner down to medium or medium high.\\nWhile the tails are cooking, maintain a boil just above simmer, rather than a rolling boil. This helps the tails cook all the way through before separating from the shell.\\n2-5. Boil the lobster for 1 minute per 1 ounce (28 g).\\nMost lobster tails require between 5 and 12 minutes to cook all the way through. Depending on the heat level and how full the pot is, it may begin to boil over. Turn down the heat if this happens.\\n2-6. Poke the lobster meat with a fork.\\nThe lobster tails are ready when the meat is white and has a tender texture. The shells should have a bright red hue to them, and appear nearly separate from the meat.\\nIf the lobster is not ready, do not remove from the water. It is important to cook the lobster all the way through.\\n2-7. Set the lobster tails in a colander or strainer.\\nYou can use a number of kitchen tools to pull the tails out of the water, including a slotted spoon or tongs. Anything that can gently remove the tails without separating the meat from the shell works.\\nYou can drain the tails in a colander if you wish.\\n3. Serving the Lobster Tails\\n3-1.

How to Boil Lobsters
|
1. Cooking Your Lobster
1-1. Purchase 4 live lobsters from your local grocery store.
Ask employees where the lobster is sourced from—if the store is extremely close to the source, the lobster likely be a bit fresher. Otherwise, location isn't a huge deal. Wrap them in a damp (but not wet) newspaper. Store them in a container or bag with 1 frozen gel pack. Place them on the bottom shelf of your fridge to avoid cross contamination for a maximum of 36 to 48 hours.
Claws should be clean and free from scratches.
Leave the rubber bands on their claws until you submerge them in water—their claws are strong and can cause injury.
Remember: the farther the sources from their market, the less effect distance has on quality.
1-2. Fill a 6 gallons (23 L) stockpot with 4 to 5 gallons (15 to 19 L) of water.
This should hold about 6 to 8 pounds (2.7 to 3.6 kg) of lobster. As a rule of thumb, it's better to have too much water than to overcrowd the pot with too much lobster.
1-3. Add 12 tablespoons of salt per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.
Salt increases the boiling point of water. This means your water will come to a more steady boil than it would without salt, which is ideal for rolling boils.
For best results, use sea salt.
1-4. Add 1 sprig of thyme, 2 bay leaves, and the juice of 1 lemon into the water.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. You can also purchase lemon juice from the store—a medium-sized lemon is about ⁄4 cup (59 ml) of lemon juice. Afterward, pour the juice into the stockpot along with the other ingredients.
This step is ideal if you prefer a broth (meat cooked with vegetable chunks and water) to a brine (meat cooked in high-concentration salt water).
If you plan to eat your lobster with melted butter, you can skip this step.
1-5. Bring the water to a full rolling boil.
A rolling boil is when the water does not stop boiling when you stir the water. Place the pot on an element and set it to the highest heat possible. Once you notice consistent bubbling, you can begin adding your lobsters.
Always keep a rolling boil—it will ensure the water will boil even after the lobster is put into the pot, reducing the temperature of the water momentarily.
1-6. Hold the lobsters by the tail with your tongs and put them in the water.
Gently dip them into the water one at a time, always placing them headfirst. Submerge them as fast as possible, but take care not to splash any water. Afterward, clamp the lid onto the pot and turn on your timer.
Remove the rubber bands prior to submerging your lobster in the boiling water. Grab the lobster by the back of the carapace (the upper hard shell) while doing this.
Submerge the lobsters in quick succession to ensure they all receive equal cooking time.
1-7. Boil 8 minutes for each 1 pound (0.45 kg) of lobster.
For example, for 4 live 1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) lobsters, leave the lobsters in the pot for 43 to 48 minutes. Follow the boiling guide above for different weights.
Keep the lid clamped tightly to the pot with no openings in the seal.
Gently stir the lobsters with your tongs halfway through the allotted cooking time.
1-8. Check whether the lobsters are cooked after the allotted cooking time.
You should notice the shells turning bright red (uncooked lobster is charcoal in color). To check if they're properly cooked inside, crack open the region where the carapace reaches the tail using scissors. If it's properly cooked, the meat will be opaque and firm.
Tug on an antenna—if the lobster is fully cooked, it will come off easily
If you notice loose and translucent meat, the lobster isn't cooked. Boil it for another 3 to 5 minutes and then check again. Continue this process until the lobster is completely cooked through.
2. Draining and Serving the Lobster
2-1. Drain your lobsters in a colander.
Remove your lobsters from the water using tongs and place them in a colander sitting underside up on a clean work surface. Gently shake it to the left and right to get rid of initial water.
Place paper towel underneath your colander to catch drainage.
2-2. Remove the tips of each lobster claw.
Use scissors or a kitchen knife and take care not to cut yourself by aiming the pointed edge of your tool away from you. Cutting the tips prevents your lobsters from becoming waterlogged and improves the draining process.
Grasp the lobster firmly and split the tail along the length using a knife. This also improves drainage.
2-3. Melt ⁄3 cup (160 ml) melted butter in a heavy saucepan on your stovetop.
Keep an eye on the butter and wait for it to begin melting. Once it is approximately ¾ melted, stir it with a wooden spoon until it finishes melted.
Most sticks of butter are around ⁄2 cup (120 ml).
You can also cut your butter into small 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces and melt them in a microwave on medium-low power or defrost. Check on it every 10 to 15 second until it's nearly melted. Now, remove it and stir it to complete the melting process.
2-4. Serve your lobster with your choice of sides.
Pour your melted butter over the lobster and enjoy it with your choice of sides. Common choices include lemon wedges, corn on the cob, fresh green beans, and asparagus.
Use a lobster cracker to get through your lobster shells and reach the meat. You can also use your hands in combination with a lobster fork to dig into the smaller crevices.
Store your lobster in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days at most. In the freezer, lobster lasts for 2 to 3 months. After de-thawing frozen lobster, you can store it in the refrigerator for another 3 to 4 days prior to cooking.
Lobster should be thrown away if it's left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Signs of bad lobster include a slimy texture and a sour smell. Don't taste lobster before looking for these signs.
Tips
Cooked lobster pairs nicely with melted butter and lemon.
Place your lobsters in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to cooking to numb them.
Do not overcrowd the pot—it is better to cook in batches if you plan to cook more than 4 lobsters.
Warnings
Always keep lobsters alive until they are cooked. Their flesh quickly deteriorates following death. [13]

How to Boil Milk
|
1. Scalding Milk
1-1. Pour the milk into a clean pot.
A thick-bottomed pot will heat the milk more evenly, reducing the chance of burning.
Scalded milk, or milk heated to a temperature just below boiling, is good to use in recipes.
If the milk is unpasteurized or if it's been stored at room temperature, boil it instead.
Some people like to scald pasteurized milk as an extra precaution against microbes, but this is not necessary if it's been stored in a refrigerator.
Impurities can spoil the milk, so clean the pot thoroughly.
1-2. Heat over medium heat.
Never heat over high heat, which is much more likely to burn the milk or cause overflow.
1-3. Stir occasionally.
Keep an eye on the milk, stirring every minute or so. A wide spatula works best, since you can scrape the base of the pot if the milk starts to stick.
1-4. Watch for light bubbling and steaming.
The milk is "scalded" once it has a tiny layer of foam at the top of the milk. Small bubbles will appear around the edge of the pot, and the surface will just barely steam.
If you have an infrared thermometer, confirm that the milk has reached 82ºC (180ºF).
1-5. Continue heating for about fifteen seconds.
Stir constantly to prevent overflow.
1-6. Store the leftover milk.
If you have milk left over after drinking or cooking, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If this is not possible, store the container in a cool room. At warm temperatures, where bacteria thrive, milk will only stay good for four hours at most.
2. Boiling Milk on the Stove
2-1. Check whether the milk needs to be boiled.
Some milk is safe to drink without boiling. Follow this guide when deciding whether to boil milk:
Raw milk should be boiled whenever possible.
Pasteurized milk should be boiled if it has been stored at room temperature. It does not need to be boiled if it's been in the refrigerator or a very cold room.
A sealed tetra pack with "UHT" on the label is safe to drink, even if it's been stored at room temperature. UHT stand for "ultra high temperature," a type of processing which kills all harmful microbes.
2-2. Pour the milk into a large, clean pot.
Choose a taller pot than you need, so there's plenty of space. Milk foams up when it boils, and will often overflow from a small pot.
Clean the pot thoroughly, or residue might curdle your milk. If this becomes a problem, choose a pot to use only for milk.
Copper, aluminum, and stainless steel heat up much faster than cast iron and other heavy material. This saves time, but you'll need to pay extra close attention to prevent burning and overflow.
2-3. Heat the milk until it starts to bubble.
Heat the milk over medium heat and give it your full attention. A shiny layer of cream will rise to the top as it heats. Eventually, small bubbles will rise up from underneath the cream, starting around the outside edge. Once this happens, reduce heat to low.
You may heat the milk over high heat to save time, but watch it constantly and be ready to reduce heat. Over high heat, the milk will rapidly move from the first bubbles to a rising layer of foam.
2-4. Stir occasionally.
If your pot heats unevenly, the milk may burn in places. Stir once every couple minutes with a wooden spoon or a heat-safe spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan.
2-5. Break up the foam as it forms.
The cream at the top of the milk traps steam as the milk boils. This steam will break up the cream into foam, which will rise rapidly and overflow out the pot. Respond quickly to prevent this:
Reduce heat until the milk bubbles at a steady rate.
Stir constantly to break up the foam.
Leave the utensil in the pot (optional). This breaks up the cream surface, creating a gap for steam to escape through. Just make sure the utensil can handle prolonged heat without burning.
2-6. Boil for two or three minutes, stirring constantly.
This is long enough to make your milk safe to drink. Further boiling will just destroy nutrients in the milk.
2-7. Store immediately.
Pour the milk into a closed container right away. Store in the refrigerator, or in the coldest place in your home. If you keep the milk in the refrigerator, it does not need to be boiled a second time. If storing the milk at room temperature, you may need to boil it before each use.
Boiling too many times will destroy nutrients. If you do not have a refrigerator, try to buy only as much milk as you can use in one sitting.
3. Boiling Milk in the Microwave
3-1. Do not rely on this method to make raw milk safe.
Microwaves can only boil the milk for a brief time before the milk overflows. This will still kill some microbes, but not enough to treat raw milk or milk stored at room temperature. Heat these over the stove instead.
3-2. Pour milk into a clean mug.
Avoid mugs with metallic paint, which are not microwave safe.
3-3. Place a wooden utensil in the mug.
Place a wooden spoon or chopstick in the mug. Use a utensil long enough that it can't fall under the milk. This lets steam escape up the handle instead of causing a foamy explosion.
3-4. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time.
Between each "zap," take out the milk and stir it for 5–10 seconds. This cautious method minimizes the risk of overflow.
Tips
You can buy a metal diffuser plate to place between the stovetop and the pot. This will heat the pot more evenly, preventing burning. However, these can take much longer to heat up than a regular pot.
If you want to add spices or sugar, do so after the milk has been boiled and removed from heat.
You can skim off the cream from the surface when the milk is simmering. Add it to pasta sauces or curries.
Warnings
Acidic foods can curdle the milk. This includes ginger and some other spices.
Always make sure that the milk isn't rotten before cooking. Rotten milk smells really bad and should be poured out instead of being used. It can cause Food poisoning.
Be sure to watch your milk while you are heating it up. Milk begins to boil a lot earlier than water does.
Handle the hot pot with a cloth, oven mitt, or pair of kitchen tongs. Do not leave the pot unattended, especially if there are children or animals around.

How to Boil Moringa Leaves
|
1. Making Moringa Tea
1-1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of water or milk into a saucepan.
Set a small pan on the stove and pour in the water or milk. Keep the lid off of the pan as you make the tea or you won't be able to see if it starts to boil over.
If you like a slightly milky tea, use half water and half milk.
For vegan moringa tea, use non-dairy milk, such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk.
1-2. Add optional flavorings, such as cinnamon or cumin seeds.
Although you might like the earthy taste of moringa on its own, it's easy to flavor the tea with spicy cinnamon or bittersweet cumin seeds. Try adding a 1 inch (2.5 cm) piece of cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon (2 g) of cumin seeds.
1-3. Put 1/4 cup (50 g) of rinsed moringa leaves into the pan and turn the burner to medium.
Pluck the leaves off of fresh moringa stems and put the leaves into the saucepan with the liquid. Then, turn the burner to medium.
Discard the stems or put them in your compost.
1-4. Simmer the tea for 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat.
Once the liquid begins to bubble, set a timer for at least 5 minutes. If you like stronger tea, simmer the moringa leaves for a total of 10 minutes.
If you used all milk, stir the tea occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom of the saucepan.
1-5. Turn off the burner and strain the tea into a serving mug.
Once the tea is as strong as you'd like, set a tea-strainer over a large mug. Turn off the burner and carefully pour the hot tea into the mug. Then, discard the solids that are left in the strainer.
If you don't have a tea strainer that you can set over a mug, place a small fine-mesh strainer over the mug instead.
1-6. Flavor the moringa tea with honey or lemon juice, if you like.
To offset the tea's slightly bitter flavor, stir in about 1 teaspoon (7 g) of honey. If you'd like to give the tea a fresher taste, squirt in a little lemon juice. Stir the tea the well and sip it while it's hot.
Use your favorite sweetener instead of honey. Try agave syrup, stevia, sugar, or maple syrup, for instance.
2. Adding Moringa Leaves to Your Meals
2-1. Boil moringa leaves for 2 to 3 minutes for a filling side dish.
Instead of making collard greens or spinach, heat a pot of water with 1 teaspoon (5 g) of salt over high heat. Add about 2 cups (400 g) of fresh moringa leaves and boil them until they're tender. Then, drain the moringa leaves in a strainer and serve them hot.
For a simple seasoning, drizzle the boiled moringa leaves with a little olive oil or melted butter.
2-2. Add moringa leaves to soups or stews during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
If you're making a flavorful soup, stir in about 1 cup (200 g) of moringa leaves toward the end of the cooking time. Stir frequently so the leaves cook in the soup and turn off the burner once the leaves are soft.
2-3. Simmer moringa leaves in oil and spices to make a quick curry.
Most curry recipes require you to heat oil and spices before adding the main ingredients. Once you've cooked the spiced oil for your curry, add a few handfuls of fresh moringa leaves and stir well. Then, add coconut milk so the leaves soften and become flavorful.
If you're unsure whether you'll like the taste of moringa leaves in a main dish, start by adding just a few leaves. Then, work your way up to cooking with more.
Tips
Remember to rinse the moringa leaves in cold water to get rid of dust or dirt.

How to Boil Mushrooms
|
1. Cleaning and Chopping the Mushrooms
1-1. Rinse the mushrooms and pat them dry with a paper towel.
You can rinse the mushrooms by hand or put them all into a colander and rinse them with the kitchen sprayer. If there are large chunks of dirt, use your fingers to lightly rub the mushrooms clean.
Alternately, you could wipe the mushrooms down with a damp paper towel, though if they are caked in dirt, you should fully rinse them.
1-2. Remove the gills or stems from the mushrooms.
The gills on portobello mushrooms are edible, but they excrete a dark liquid when they cook. Use a spoon to gently scrape and remove the gills. For mushrooms that have stumps, use a knife to slice off the hard ends.
You can discard the sliced off mushroom stumps, or set them aside to add to your compost pile later.
1-3. Cut the mushrooms into quarters or slices, depending on your recipe.
Use a clean cutting board and a kitchen knife, and gently cut your mushrooms. If you’re in a pinch and don’t have a clean knife, you can also rip the mushrooms using your hands.
Whole mushrooms will boil just the same as sliced mushrooms, so if you prefer larger bites, don’t worry about chopping them up.
1-4. Store excess mushrooms
Uncooked, sliced mushrooms can last for 7 days, while whole mushrooms can last for 10 days when stored in the fridge. Make sure the mushrooms are fully dry before you put them into the fridge to prevent them from getting slimy.
Put a piece of masking tape with the “use by” date on the container so you don’t forget how long they’ll be good for.
2. Bringing the Mushrooms to a Boil
2-1. Put your prepared mushrooms in a medium or large sauté pan.
Use 8 to 12 ounces (230 to 340 g) of mushrooms. Make sure the pan is clean before you use it and that it will be large enough to hold all of your mushrooms and the liquid it takes to cover them.
One of the benefits of boiling mushrooms is that you can batch-cook as many as will fit into the pan at one time.
2-2. Add enough water to the pan to just cover the mushrooms.
It’s okay if the mushrooms are poking through the top of the water a little bit. You can either bring the pan directly to the sink to fill it up, or if the pan is really heavy, use a large cup to bring water to the pan directly.
You can always add more water or scoop some away if you find that the cooking time is too short or long, depending on your other cooking tasks.
2-3. Put 1 US tbsp (15 mL) of butter and 1 tsp (4.9 mL) of salt into the pan.
Most sticks of butter have measurements on the wrapper to show you where to cut, but if yours doesn’t, use a measuring spoon. Always measure out the salt to avoid over- or under-salting the dish.
If you don’t have butter, you can substitute 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of a cooking oil, like olive oil, avocado oil, or even coconut oil.
2-4. Turn the burner to high and let the water come to a boil.
If you want the water to come to heat up faster, you can put a lid on the pan. Just keep an eye on it so you notice when it starts to boil.
3. Simmering and Browning the Mushrooms
3-1. Reduce the heat to medium-low once the mushrooms are boiling.
You want to keep the heat high enough so that the water is simmering but not so high that it is at a roiling boil. You may need to adjust the burner to get a simmer depending on your stovetop.
You may notice that there seems to be more water in the pan now than when you first started, and that is because mushrooms lose water as they cook. But don’t worry! The boiling and simmering process will evaporate away all that excess water.
3-2. Simmer the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, or until the water evaporates.
You’ll hear a sizzle once the water is gone and the mushrooms are touching the bottom of the pan. If you won’t be in the kitchen while your mushrooms are boiling, set a timer for 5 minutes so you can check them.
Don’t use a lid on the pan, as that will hinder the steam from escaping and will make the evaporation process take longer.
3-3. Brown the mushrooms in the remaining butter for 1-2 minutes.
Once the water evaporates away, the butter or oil that you added into the pan with the mushrooms will be left on the bottom. Use a spatula to stir the mushrooms occasionally during the 1-2 minutes.
Because the mushrooms are already cooked, this last step simply serves to finish them off with a light searing.
3-4. Add your seasonings to the mushrooms and serve.
You could add a little more salt and a dash of pepper, or you could stir in some soy sauce, toss in some minced garlic or fresh herbs, or any other combination of seasonings you prefer. You could also serve the mushrooms along with another dish, like scrambled eggs, or simply eat them on their own.
If you are only going to eat half of the mushrooms that you prepared right away, remove and store the other half before adding your seasonings. That way you can season that second half differently if you so desire.
3-5. Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge.
Let them cool completely before putting them into the container, and then keep them in the fridge for 7 to 10 days. To reheat, you could put them into the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, or toss them in a heated skillet for 2 to 3 minutes.
After 7 to 10 days, discard any unused, prepared mushrooms. Use a piece of masking tape to label their container with the use-by date.
Tips
If you are adding mushrooms to a soup, you just need to make sure to clean them properly and cut them according to the recipe, and then follow that recipe for the cooking time.
Mushrooms have gone bad if they are slimy or darker in color from when you first purchased them. The may also have a strong, rotten smell.
If you have mushrooms that are on the verge of going bad, boil them in one big batch. That way they will be prepared and will last for 5 to 7 more days.

How to Boil Noodles
|
1. Heating Your Water
1-1. Fill a large pot with 4–5 US quarts (3.8–4.7 L) of water.
Add the water to your pot with the aid of a measuring cup to ensure that you end up with just the right amount. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 US quart (0.95 L) for every ⁄2 pound (230 g) of noodles.
If you don’t have a measuring cup, run enough water into your pot to cover your noodles completely. It’s important that they submerged in order for them to cook properly.
1-2. Bring your water to a low boil on the stove.
Set the pot on a preheated eye set to medium-high heat and allow the water inside to begin warming up. Once it reaches a constant yet gentle bubble, you’ll be ready to add your noodles.
Medium-high is preferable to a higher heat setting when preparing noodles, as intense temperatures are more likely to quickly overcook the starches and cause them to become gluey.
1-3. Stir ½ a teaspoon of oil and 1-2 tablespoons of salt into the water.
Together, the oil and salt will prevent your noodles from fusing together as they move around in the pot. This will be especially useful if you’re working with fresh, doughy handmade noodles. As an added bonus, oil and salt will both impart a little extra flavor to your boiling water.
Any type of oil will do the trick, but a mild variety like olive, vegetable, or canola will provide the best results.
Avoid adding more than ½ a teaspoon of oil to 6 ounces (170 g) of noodles. Doing so could leave your noodles overly greasy and make it harder for sauce to stick later on.
1-4. Add 6–16 ounces (170–450 g) of raw or dried noodles to the water.
Lower the noodles into the pot carefully to prevent splashing. After you’ve put in all the noodles you plan on cooking, give them a quick stir. This will help separate and distribute them throughout the boiling water.
Break long noodles like vermicelli, hakka, and angel hair into smaller segments to make sure they heat evenly and reduce their overall cook time.
2. Cooking Your Noodles
2-1. Allow dried noodles to boil for 8-12 minutes.
For most types of dried noodles, this will be just long enough to soften them up and heat them all the way through. If you’re making a large batch of noodles, be ready to increase your cook time by an additional 2-3 minutes.
For best results, be sure to follow the recommended cooking time specified on the package.
If necessary, set a timer so you don’t accidentally forget about your noodles while they’re on the stove.
2-2. Boil fresh noodles for 1-4 minutes, or just long enough to cook them.
Freshly-made noodles don’t take anywhere near as long to cook as dried ones, since they’re already quite soft. In most cases, they’ll only need somewhere from 90 seconds to 4 minutes to take on a perfectly tender texture.
To determine whether you fresh noodles are done to your liking, fish one out after about a minute and give it a quick taste test. You can then decide how much more time it needs, if any.
2-3. Stir your noodles frequently during their first minute or two on the stove.
This is when they’ll begin releasing most of their glue-like starch. As you’re stirring, lift the lowest noodles up from the bottom so you’re not just swirling them around. After the first couple minutes, you can cut back your stirring to once every few minutes.
Do your stirring with a wooden spoon. Boiling water can melt plastic utensils and make metal ones too hot to hold comfortably.
2-4. Stop cooking your noodles after 2-3 minutes if you like them al dente.
In this case, you’ll be taste-testing your cooked noodles to determine whether they have the right texture. As soon as they take on a uniform, opaque color, take them off of the stove and give one a nibble. It should be firm yet slightly chewy, without a hint of crunchiness.
Give your sample noodle plenty of time to cool before eating it to avoid burning your mouth.
If your noodles are still a little undercooked, continue boiling them for 30 seconds to a minute at a time until they achieve the desired consistency.
2-5. Drain your noodles thoroughly using a colander.
Shut off your cooktop and take the pot off of the hot burner. Using a pair of potholders or oven mitts, pick up the pot and gently pour its contents out into your waiting colander. Shake the colander a few times to coax out any excess liquid.
If you don’t have a colander, you can also remove your noodles using a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon, or by cracking the lid of the pot (if you used one) and draining the water a little at a time.
Most chefs recommend leaving a little water in with your noodles to improve the texture of traditional Italian pasta dishes. If you plan on stir-frying or otherwise cooking your noodles afterwards, however, you’ll want to make sure they’re as well-drained as possible.
2-6. Rinse your cooked noodles with cold water to keep them from clumping.
Run your colander under a stream of water or plunge it into a separate bowl just long enough to immerse your noodles. A final rinse will do away with any leftover traces of starch that might otherwise become a problem as you noodles begin to cool.
You can even rub especially thick types of noodles like soba by hand in a bowl of cold water to make sure they don’t turn out sticky or slimy.
Tips
When it comes to preparing noodles, it’s generally better to err on the side of caution and undercook them slightly rather than overcooking them.

How to Boil Okra
|
1. Preparing the Okra
1-1. Rinse and trim the okra.
Turn on the cold water at the sink, and gently run the okra under it to wash away any dirt or debris on the surface. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel, and use a sharp knife to cut the stems down to ½-inch (13-mm).
1-2. Place the okra in a large pot and cover it with water.
Use a pot that's large enough to fit the okra so it doesn't occupy more than three-quarters of the capacity. Add enough cold water to the pot to just cover the okra.
A 3-quart (2.8 l) pot is a good size for boiling the okra.
1-3. Season the water with salt.
Before you boil the water, it's important to season it to ensure that the boiled okra is as flavorful as possible. Adding the salt to the water allows the okra to absorb some of it as it boils. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (6 g) of salt to the pot, and stir gently to ensure that it's evenly distributed.
2. Cooking the Okra
2-1. Bring the pot to a boil.
Place the pot with the okra on the stove, and turn the heat to high. Allow the water to come to a boil, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
2-2. Pour the vinegar into the pot.
Once the water is boiling, add ¼ cup (59 ml) of cider vinegar to the pot. Don't stir it in, though -- stirring can disturb the cooking process for the okra.
You can substitute any type of vinegar or even lemon juice for the cider vinegar.
2-3. Boil the okra until it's fork tender.
After you've mixed in the vinegar, allow the okra to boil for 3 to 5 minutes. At the 3 minute mark, start testing the okra with a fork. When it's tender enough to pierce, it's finished boiling.
Be careful not to overcook the okra or it may become slimy and mushy.
3. Finishing the Okra
3-1. Drain the okra and return it to the pan.
When the okra is finished cooking, remove the pot from the stove. Pour the contents through a colander to drain the water from the okra, and then put it back in the pot.
3-2. Mix in the butter and pepper.
Add ¼ cup (55 g) of butter and black pepper to taste to the okra. If necessary, you can also season the mixture with more salt.
If you prefer, you can substitute bacon drippings or olive oil for the butter.
You can substitute or incorporate other seasonings along with the pepper. Turmeric, cumin, chili powder, and coriander all work well with okra.
3-3. Cook the okra over low heat until the butter melts.
Place the pot back on the stove, and turn the heat to low. Allow it to cook until the butter melts, which should take about 3 minutes. Stir the okra frequently to ensure that it's well coated with the butter.
3-4. Remove the okra from the pan and serve.
Once the butter is melted and the okra is coated, turn the heat off. Use a pair of tongs to transfer the okra from the pot to a platter, and serve while it's still warm.
Store any leftover okra in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days.
Tips
For the best boiled okra, choose okra that is a bright green and doesn't have any brown spots or blemishes.
Fresh okra is usually available May through September. In the southern U.S., though, you can find it year-round.

How to Boil Peanuts
|
1. Cleaning and Soaking
1-1. Purchase green peanuts from a farmer's market, farm stand, or grocery store.
Look for green peanuts anytime between June and September at your local farmer's market or grocery store. If you live in the Southeast where peanuts are grown, you may notice signs during the summer that advertise fresh peanuts being sold at roadside farm stands.
Purchase roughly two pounds of fresh peanuts to boil. Fresh, green peanuts do not last for longer than a few weeks, so make sure not to buy more than you can boil within that time period.
Look for fresh peanuts with a firm, brown shell and a strong nutty smell. Green peanuts do not actually look green. Their name refers to the fact that they have been recently harvested and not dried.
1-2. Rinse and remove any debris or broken shells.
Place the peanuts in a large bucket and fill it with warm water. Green peanuts from a farmer’s market or road-side stand may still contain debris such as grass, branches, or leaves from the farm. Remove and discard any debris that may float to the surface. You won't need to wash pre-packaged peanuts purchased from a store. Instead, you can open the bag and go straight to soaking them.
You can also remove any broken or damaged peanut shells that you spot.
Depending on how dirty they are, you may consider doing this outside. If you can work outside, consider using a water hose to spray the peanuts inside of the bucket to remove any debris.
1-3. Scrub the peanuts with a brush and add them to a colander.
Use a vegetable brush to gently scrub away any dirt that remains on the peanut shells. Scoop up a handful of peanuts at a time from the bucket of water and gently scrub the shells as they rest in the palm of your hand. Place the scrubbed peanuts into a colander for rinsing. Repeat this process until all the peanuts have been scrubbed.
You can use a dish-washing brush if you don’t have a vegetable brush handy.
Your hands could be submerged in the water for a long period of time, so consider wearing rubber gloves to protect your skin.
1-4. Rinse them with water.
Place the large colander full of peanuts into a sink and thoroughly rinse with running water. You’ll need to remove any excess dirt or debris that you loosened from the peanut shells while you were scrubbing them. Continue rinsing the peanuts while gently stirring them around the colander until the water runs clear.
If you are working outside or with a large batch of peanuts that won’t fit in your sink, you can also rinse the peanuts outside with a water hose. Keep in mind that it will be more effective to rinse your peanuts while they are in a container with holes that allow the dirty water to easily pass through.
1-5. Fill a large pot with 2 pounds (0.91 kg) of peanuts and 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water.
Transfer them from your colander to a large stockpot. Fill the pot with water, making sure all the peanuts are fully submerged.
If the peanuts float, gently press them down with your hand to make sure every shell is soaked by the water.
1-6. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of salt to the water.
Measure and add the salt to your pot, stirring to make sure that it completely dissolves in the water. The salt will give the peanuts flavor as they soak.
Keep in mind that you will be adding additional salt and seasonings later when you boil the peanuts. Be careful not to over-salt them now during the soaking stage.
Use table salt instead of rock salt as it will dissolve in the water more easily.
Adjust your ingredient measurements as necessary.
1-7. Cover the pot and allow them to soak for 30 minutes.
Cover your pot with a lid or plastic wrap to ensure that the peanuts remain submerged in the water. Allow them to soak for around 30 minutes before cooking. Raw, dried peanuts are available year-round and are a great alternative if you do not have access to fresh, green peanuts. Dried peanuts will require a longer soaking time before cooking, so leave them to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Soaking the peanuts ensures that they will soften more easily when they are cooked, giving them their delicious texture.
Do not attempt to soak roasted peanuts. Roasted peanuts will not soften regardless of how long they are soaked or boiled.
1-8. Drain the soaking water.
Place your colander in a sink and pour in the water and peanuts from your soaking pot. After the desired soaking time has been reached, you’ll need to remove the soaking water before cooking them.
If you are working with a large batch of peanuts and your soaking pot is too heavy to lift easily, consider transferring the peanuts from your soaking pot to a cooking vessel with a slotted spoon.
The peanuts are now ready to be boiled.
2. Cooking, Draining, and Storing
2-1. Add the peanuts and your preferred seasonings to a large pot.
Place the pre-soaked peanuts and some water into a large stockpot. Make sure there is at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water above the peanuts, and stir the peanuts as necessary to ensure that they are fully submerged in the water. Place the pot on your stove and add any desired seasonings.
Adding salt is a great, basic seasoning that will add flavor. You can add around 1 cup (240 ml) of table salt for every 1 gallon (3.8 l) of water.
If you’d like the peanuts to taste spicy, consider adding red pepper flakes or jalapenos.
2-2. Bring the pot to a boil, then allow the peanuts to simmer for around 4 hours.
Adjust your stove temperature to high until the water reaches a rolling boil. Cover your pot and reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the peanuts to simmer. Allow the green peanuts to simmer for around 4 hours.
If you are using dried, raw peanuts, allow them to simmer for at least 10 hours.
Consider cooking the peanuts in a large crockpot if you have one. This is an especially useful cooking method if you are boiling raw peanuts, which need to be cooked for a long time. Simply add the peanuts, water, and desired flavor seasoning and cook while covered on the lowest heat setting from around 20-24 hours. Periodically stir and add more water to the crockpot as necessary while they cook.
2-3. Stir and taste occasionally.
Use a slotted spoon to occasionally stir the peanuts as they simmer. Periodically remove a peanut from the pot with a spoon, remove it from its shell, and taste it to determine whether it needs more seasoning or cooking time.
How long you cook the peanuts depends on your own personal peanut preference. Some people like their peanuts to be very soft, while others prefer that they retain some of their firmness. Testing throughout the cooking process will help you achieve the perfect doneness.
You may need to add extra water to your pot if the water level drops below the peanuts while they cook.
2-4. Dump the peanuts and water into a colander.
Turn off the heat, then lift your stock pot to carefully dump the contents into a large colander that has been placed in the sink. Once the peanuts have finished cooking, you’ll want to completely remove all of the cooking water before eating them.
Use extreme caution when lifting your pot and pouring it into the colander as the boiling water could cause a painful burn.
Consider wearing long oven mitts to protect your wrists and arms while handling the pot.
2-5. Remove the peanuts with a slotted spoon if the pot is too heavy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the peanuts from the cooking pot if it is too difficult to lift. Place the peanuts directly into a serving bowl.
If you’ve chosen to cook your peanuts in a crockpot, the slotted spoon might be the easiest method by which to remove your peanuts from the water.
2-6. Enjoy immediately or properly store them for later.
Allow the peanuts to cool until they are comfortable to touch by hand, then shell them as you eat! Package the peanuts in a Ziploc bag to store them for up to seven days or to freeze them for later.
Boiled peanuts do not have a long shelf-life and can’t be kept longer than about a week in a refrigerated, covered container without spoiling.

How to Boil Peanuts Using Roasted Peanuts
|
1. Steps
1-1. Assemble all of the ingredients.
1-2. Boil together for a minimum of 3 hours.
1-3. Check every 45 minutes to ensure that there is enough water.
The water will start to boil down and need replacing.
1-4. Start to let the water boil away in the third hour.
Not so much that the peanuts burn, but enough that the seasoning will stick to the shells to add more flavor and spice.
Tips
To increase the recipe, just duplicate the ingredients, however much is needed. You can easily boil up to 4 lbs or more using this same recipe, just simply double, triple or quad up on the ingredients.
Although using fresh green peanuts is more desired, this is still very tasty and less hassle depending on the area you live that may or may not supply fresh green peanuts.
Warnings
Peanuts are a registered common allergen.[3]

How to Boil Plantains
|
1. Cutting and Peeling the Plantains
1-1. Pick out a few firm, ripe plantains.
Since the hot water will soften the fruit up quite a bit, it’s best to start with plantains that are ripe but still firm to the touch. Yellow plantains should have just a little give, with few (if any) brown spots. Green plantains should be harder, with a uniform color and no spotting.
If you use overly ripe plantains, they may become mushy by the time they’re done.
1-2. Slice the ends off the plantains.
Lay out your plantains on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to remove the stems roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the top and bottom of the fruit. Getting these parts out of the way will make it easier to peel the plantains.
Removing the stems also lets in more heat, helping the plantains cook through faster.
1-3. Cut the plantains in half.
Lay out the plantains on a cutting board and slice them through the middle width-wise. This will reduce them to a more manageable size, allowing them to fit more easily inside a pot.
Plantains can be pretty tough, so make sure the knife you’re using is nice and sharp.
1-4. Peel the plantains to reduce their cook time slightly.
Once you’ve cut the plantains in half, use the tip of your knife to score the skin from one end to the other. Take hold of the skin on either side of the cut and pull it apart to expose the fruit underneath. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fruit.
Your plantains won’t take as long to boil if you remove their skin first.
If you prefer, you can also simply score the skins from end to end and finish peeling them once they’re fully cooked.
2. Heating the Water
2-1. Fill a large pot with water.
Make sure the pot you’re using is big enough to hold all the plantains you want to boil. A full-sized stockpot is recommended for boiling several plantains at once, but you may also be able to get by with a deep saucepan if you’re only preparing 1 or 2.
Be careful not to overfill the pot, or the water could slosh out once it comes to a boil.
2-2. Bring the water to a boil.
Turn on the cooktop to high heat and allow the water to begin warming up. Depending on the size and volume of your pot, the water should reach a boil within about 6-10 minutes.
If you’re in a rush, you can save a few minutes by putting your water on while you slice and peel the plantains.
2-3. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
If you like, you can throw some salt in with your boiling water. A little bit of salt will impart a subtle savory note, balancing out the starchy sweetness of the plantains.
If you’re not sure how much salt to use, start with about 1 teaspoon (4.2 g). You can always add more once the plantains have finished cooking in order to get the desired flavor.
Avoiding adding too much salt, as this could overpower the mild flavor of the plantains and make them unappetizing.
3. Cooking the Plantains
3-1. Boil the plantains for 15-30 minutes.
As the plantains cook, the heat from the water will begin breaking down their rich sugars, unlocking more of their natural sweetness. By the 15-20 minute mark, the fruit should have taken on a deep yellow color and become nice and tender.
Set a timer to help you keep track of how long the plantains have been boiling.
If there are still white spots in the fruit at the end of your cook time, it means it’s not quite ready. Leave the plantains on the stove for another 5-6 minutes until they’re a uniform yellow color.
Green plantains may need as long as 30 minutes to cook all the way through.
3-2. Remove the plantains from the hot water using a pair of tongs.
The plantains will be extremely hot, so be sure to fish them out with a separate utensil. If you don’t have any tongs handy, you could also spear them with a knife or scoop them out using a metal spatula or serving fork.
Place the plantains on a layer of paper towels to absorb some of the excess water, or simply transfer them straight to their intended serving dish.
Never attempt to remove cooked items from a pot of boiling water by hand. Doing so could result in a serious burn!
3-3. Allow the plantains to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Once most of the steam has dissipated, the plantains will be ready to eat. They're best when they're warm, but not scalding hot.
If you dig in before your plantains have had time to cool down sufficiently, you could burn your mouth.
3-4. Peel the plantains if you boiled them with the skin on.
To avoid burning your hands, use a fork and knife to safely open up the peel and uncover the delicious fruit underneath. Once that’s done, discard the skins and enjoy!
Plantains should always be peeled prior to eating.
3-5. Mash boiled plantains to savor their soft texture.
As an optional final step, you can use the flat side of a fork to mash your plantains to a smooth, creamy consistency. Keep mashing and stirring until the purée is mostly free of lumps. This is just another way to enjoy the versatile fruit.
Mashed boiled plantains are an incredibly popular breakfast dish in the Dominican Republic, where they’re known as mangú.
Traditional versions of mangú also incorporate olive oil and onion powder for more of a savory take on a sweet treat. For every 2 plantains you use, add roughly 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of oil and ½ tablespoon (7.4 g) onion powder.
Tips
Serve your boiled plantains Nigerian-style by pairing them with a simple chili sauce made from diced red chilis, onions, and oil.[15]

Research source
Plantains are delicious, nutritious, and filling enough to serve as a meal on their own when you don’t have time to whip up something more elaborate.
If you’re unable to find fresh plantains at the grocery store, try your local farmer’s market or health food store.

How to Boil Potatoes
|
1. Washing and Prepping Your Potatoes
1-1. Rinse your potatoes under warm water rub them clean.
Turn the water on your sink to warm and leave it on. Place each potato under the water and rub it with your clean hands for 15-20 seconds, turning it in the water as you do so. Place each potato in a clean pot or pan after you’ve rinsed it.
You can use a clean produce brush to scrub the potatoes if they’ve been sitting around for a while. A quick rinse and light rub should be more than enough though.
You can boil any kind of potato. The only difference between individual varieties is the cooking time.
1-2. Peel your potatoes if you want the skin off.
If you want the potatoes to cook without the skin on, peel them with a potato peeler. Hold the potato in your nondominant hand and tilt it up so that you hand is underneath. Hold the peeler in your free hand and place the 2 blades at the top of the potato. Slowly pull down towards the bottom while maintaining a firm grip to remove a strip of skin. Repeat this process for the other sides of your potato.
You can boil the potatoes with the skin still on. It adds another layer of flavor, although you may not want the skin in a potato salad or mashed potatoes.
You can also peel the potatoes after they’ve cooked, if you prefer. When the potato is done cooking, it’s usually quite easy to pull the skin off.
1-3. Cut the potatoes into cubes or slices to speed up the cook time.
If you’re in a hurry or plan on using the potatoes as an ingredient where their shape doesn’t matter, set them out on a clean cutting board. Hold the potato still using your nondominant hand and carefully cut them into smaller cubes or slices using your chef’s knife. The smaller you make your individual pieces, the faster the potatoes will cook.
Cutting the potatoes into cubes will make them a lot easier to mash if you’re making mashed potatoes.
2. Heating Your Potatoes
2-1. Place your potatoes in a pan or pot and fill it with cold water.
If you’re cooking smaller potatoes, like new potatoes, feel free to put them in a saucepan with a taller rim. Otherwise, place your potatoes in a pot. Fill the pot or saucepan with cold water until the potatoes are completely submerged.
Don’t drop the potatoes from more than 3–4 inches (7.6–10.2 cm) above the pot. You’ll end up splashing water everywhere.
There needs to be 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of space left at the top to keep the water from spilling out once it starts to boil. If your pot or pan is too small, move your potatoes to a bigger container.
2-2. Add a pinch of salt and turn your stove on high.
Before you start boiling the potatoes, add ⁄2–1 teaspoon (2.5–4.9 mL) of salt to the water to keep your potatoes cooking evenly and to add a little flavor as they soften. Turn your burner on high and cover your pan or pot with a lid. Heat the water until it reaches a rolling boil.
You can boil the water without covering it, but a lid will trap the steam in and make the water boil faster.
You can add garlic, bay leaves, or peppercorns to the water if you want to give the potatoes a little flavor while they cook.
2-3. Reduce the heat to low once the water reaches a rolling boil.
As soon as the water starts visibly boiling, reduce the heat to low or medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and let the potatoes cook. The length of time required to boil your potatoes is dependent upon the species of potato that you’re cooking and whether you diced them into smaller pieces or not.
Smaller potatoes and diced potatoes will cook faster than larger, uncut potatoes.
2-4. Boil red potatoes, new potatoes, or cubed potatoes for 15-20 minutes.
Red potatoes and new potatoes require at least 15 minutes of boiling before they’re ready. If you cut a larger potato into smaller cubes or sections, boil them for at least 15 minutes. If the potatoes are cut into pieces smaller than 2 in (5.1 cm), cook them for 10 minutes before checking them.
There’s no real harm in testing your potatoes before they’re done. You can always continue to boil them if they aren’t ready yet after you’ve taken one out for testing.
Waxy potatoes, like red skin or fingerling potatoes, are particularly good for boiling. They won’t get mushy if they’re over-boiled and they tend to hold their shape really well.
2-5. Let bigger potatoes boil for 20-25 minutes.
If you’re working with larger potatoes, like russet or Ratte potatoes, let them boil for at least 20 minutes before testing them. Keep the potatoes covered while they cook. Yukon gold potatoes take a little longer than other types of potato. They’ll take roughly 25-30 minutes to finish boiling.
2-6. Test a potato to see if it’s done by poking it with a fork.
To see if a potato is finished boiling, take one out of the pot using a pair of tongs. Set it down on a clean surface and poke the middle of the potato with a fork. If the prongs on the fork slide in and out of the potato with little resistance, they’re done. If the potatoes aren’t done, put the test potato back in the pot and cook them for an additional 2-3 minutes before checking them again.
If your potatoes aren’t done but the fork does slide into them, try testing them again after 1 additional minute of cooking.
2-7. Drain the potatoes in your sink by pouring the pot into a colander.
Set a colander up in your sink. Put on a pair of oven mitts and carry your pan or pot over to the sink. Carefully and slowly pour the pot or pan into the colander to drain the water. Then, either put the potatoes back in the pot or pan to season them or let them cool before continuing with your recipe.
Many cooks like to put the potatoes back immediately before the potatoes have totally dried in the colander. The moisture on the surface of your potatoes can keep them moist while you keep working with them.
3. Boiling Potatoes in the Microwave
3-1. Clean your potatoes and peel them if you want the skin off.
Take your potatoes to the sink and rinse them under cold water, rubbing them as they rinse to clean them. If you want the potatoes to cook with the skin on, leave it. If you want skin off, hold the potato with your nondominant hand underneath. Stick the 2 blades on your potato peeler at the top of the potato and drag it down at a 45-degree angle to peel a length of skin. Repeat this process for each section of each potato.
You can use a clean produce brush to scrub your potatoes if you’d like. This will leave them really clean, although this is usually unnecessary.
Boiling potatoes in the microwave is not the preferred method, since the microwave tends to heat items unevenly. The major benefit of this method is that you free up a burner if you’re making a particularly big meal.
3-2. Place your potatoes in a large, microwave-safe bowl and fill it with water.
Glass is always going to be a safe bet, and unpainted ceramic will usually work as well. Check the bottom of a bowl or dish to see if it says “microwave safe.” Any microwavable container will work with your potatoes. Stick your potatoes in the bowl or container and fill it with room-temperature water until the potatoes are fully submerged.
If a dish doesn’t say “microwave safe,” look for 3 squiggly lines, usually accompanied by 2-3 circles on the right. This is the symbol indicating that a dish is microwavable.
You can add a pinch of salt if you’d like, but the results won’t be very noticeable when compared to stove-top boiling.
3-3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the cover.
Pull out a length of plastic wrap and lay it over the top of your bowl. Press the wrap around the rim of the bowl to seal it and cut the excess off using the teeth on the plastic wrap’s container. Poke 4-5 holes in the plastic to create vents for the steam to escape. Place your holes evenly around the top so that the steam doesn’t build up under any section of the cover.
If you don’t have the container that the plastic wrap came in, you can tear off the excess plastic or cut it with a pair of scissors.
3-4. Microwave your bowl of potatoes on high for 5 minutes.
Place your bowl in the middle of the microwave and close the door. Turn the microwave on high and let them cook for 5 minutes. If you have an 800-watt microwave, heat them on high for 6 minutes instead.
Different microwaves have different heating patterns and temperature settings. You may need to microwave your potatoes for a little longer depending on your microwave’s make and model.
3-5. Remove the bowl and stir the potatoes before putting the plastic wrap back.
The bowl or container will be hot, so put on a pair of oven mitts and carefully remove it from the microwave. Set the bowl down and carefully fold the plastic wrap back. Stir the contents with a wooden spoon for 30-45 seconds. This will circulate the water and give the potatoes a better chance of cooking evenly.
The potatoes should feel a little soft as you’re stirring. This is normal, but it doesn’t mean that they’ve cooked all the way through. They still need a little more time in the microwave.
3-6. Return your potatoes to the microwave for an additional 5 minutes.
Refold the plastic wrap over the bowl and put your oven mitts back on if you took them off to stir. Carefully lift the bowl back into the center of your microwave and close the door. Heat the bowl on high for an additional 5 minutes.
If you’re cooking smaller potatoes and they feel relatively soft when you were stirring them, try heating them on low for 4 minutes and then test them with your fork.
3-7. Test a potato to see if it’s done by poking it with a fork.
Once your potatoes have been microwaved for an additional 5 minutes, put on a pair of oven mitts and take the bowl out. Use a pair of tongs to lift a potato out of the bowl and put it on a clean surface. Poke it with the prongs on a fork to test it. If the prongs slide in and out with little resistance, they’re done.
If your potatoes are still firm, heat them for an additional 1-2 minutes before testing again.
The bowl will be extremely hot at this point. Do not touch it with your bare skin or you’ll risk severely damaging your skin.
3-8. Drain your potatoes in a colander and let them cool.
Place a colander in your sink and lift the bowl while wearing a pair of oven mitts. Slowly pour the bowl into the colander to drain your potatoes. Let the potatoes cool or use tongs to put them into the pot or pan that you’re going to use to continue cooking them.
Tips
You can poke your potatoes with a fork before boiling them if you want. Some people think that potatoes will explode if you don’t poke them to let steam escape, but there’s no evidence that this happens when you boil potatoes in water.
Cut the potatoes into cubes before boiling them if you plan to can potatoes.

How to Boil Potatoes in the Microwave
|
1. Preparing Your Potatoes
1-1. Peel your potatoes if you don’t want the skin on.
Leaving the skin on will keep more of the nutrients inside of the potato, and add texture to the potato’s flavor. But if you’re planning on mashing the potato or using it as an ingredient, you’ll probably want to skin them first.
1-2. Find a microwave-safe bowl that will fit all of your potatoes.
Most ceramic bowls will work well in the microwave. Try to avoid any kind of plastic that might melt. You can usually tell if a bowl is microwave-safe by inspecting the bottom. If it says “microwave safe” or has a symbol with three wavy lines, then it’s safe to use.
Never put metal in the microwave.
1-3. Wash your potatoes thoroughly with water.
Wash your potatoes by hand, making sure to cover each part of the potato with water. Do not pat them dry. The layer of moisture left on the potatoes will help them cook evenly.
1-4. Poke each of the potatoes with a fork on all sides.
Use a fork to poke several sets of holes around each of the potatoes. If you don’t poke any holes in your potatoes, the pressure and heat may cause them to explode in the microwave.
The holes should go deep into the middle of the potato. Depending on the size of your potato, you may want to use a skewer to create deeper holes.
1-5. Put the potatoes in your bowl.
They should still be a little wet from the wash that you gave them, but if they’re drying off at this point, give your potatoes a quick rinse. You can also add a teaspoon of water to the bottom of your bowl before turning the microwave on.
The water keeps your potatoes from drying out as they cook, but if they’re totally soaked the water won’t evaporate and you’ll be left with moist potatoes.
2. Heating Your Potatoes
2-1. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap.
Cover your potatoes with plastic wrap to ensure that the steam doesn’t escape the bowl. This will also help the potatoes boil evenly.
Most plastic wraps are microwavable, but check the packaging before using it to cover your potatoes.
2-2. Set your power to the highest setting.
Turn your microwave’s power level to the highest setting available. Some microwaves come with a designated button for potatoes. If you have a specialized button for potatoes, press that instead.
2-3. Select your time based on the size of your potatoes.
For smaller diced or baby potatoes, start with two minutes in the microwave. For bigger potatoes, like sweet or russet potatoes, start with four minutes in the microwave.
The wattage of your microwave will affect the cooking time required for potatoes. It’s always better to start lower though when it comes to cooking in the microwave. You can always add time, but you can’t undo shriveled and dry food!
2-4. Keep an eye on your potatoes while they cook.
Potatoes can explode in the microwave if the pressure inside them builds up to high levels. Stay in the kitchen while they microwave to keep an eye on them.
Microwaves heat up the inside of the potato first. This means that the pressure will build up inside of the potato as it cooks.
An explosion is more likely to occur if the skin is still on or you haven’t poked enough holes in your potato.
Watch out for any movement or popping noises in your microwave. That may be the pressure trying to fight its way out of the potato.
3. Checking Your Potatoes
3-1. Use an oven mitt to take your potatoes out and check them.
The potatoes will be extremely hot at this point, as will the bowl that they’ve been cooking in. Put on an oven mitt and carefully remove them from the microwave. Put them on the countertop and peel back the plastic wrap away from you.
Open the plastic wrap away from your body and face. There will be a lot of hot steam coming out of the bowl and you don’t want to get burned.
3-2. Poke your potato with a paring knife to see if it’s done.
Take a small paring knife and insert it into one of the potatoes. If there’s barely any resistance when you slide the knife in and out, then your potato is fully boiled. If there’s a little resistance and it’s hard to pull your knife out, microwave them for an additional minute and check again.
If you can’t insert your knife at all, the potatoes haven’t cooked at all. Check your microwave’s power level and try cooking them again.
3-3. Allow your potatoes to stand for a few minutes to cool off.
Because potatoes have a skin that seals in the heat, they’ll be extremely hot when you take them out of the microwave. Let them stand for 1-2 minutes before touching them or taking any additional steps.
Consider garnishing your potatoes with some herbs and spices while they rest. Parsley and a pinch of salt can go a long way to add flavor to this simple dish.

How to Boil Red Potatoes
|
1. Washing and Cutting Your Potatoes
1-1. Select smooth, ripe potatoes.
Make sure the potatoes you choose to boil are good for cooking. When at the store, examine the potatoes you pick. Go for potatoes with skin that is smooth and free of any bumps or discoloration. Potatoes, when ripe, are also firm.
Dark spots, sprouts, and shades of green all indicate a potato may not be ripe.
1-2. Wash your potatoes.
Before boiling your potatoes, wash them under running water. Use either a brush or your hands to scrub the surface, removing any visible dirt or grime.
Do not use soap to wash your potatoes.
1-3. Leave the skin in place.
Red potatoes can actually be boiled with the skin still on. This better preserves the flavor during the boiling process and adds a nice texture. A potato's skin is also rich in nutrients.
1-4. Chop the potatoes.
Potatoes boil faster when chopped into small chunks. Cut your potato into small cubes of roughly even size.
If you're going to be mashing the potatoes, you do not have to worry too much about precise size. However, if you're making something like potato salad, consult your recipe. It should advise you on the correct sized chunks.
When not following a recipe, chunk about an inch or half an inch thick (2.5 or 1.2 centimeters) should be sufficient.
2. Boiling Potatoes on the Stove
2-1. Submerge your potatoes in water.
Place your potatoes in a pot. Cover the potatoes with enough water so they are fully submerged. As salt helps flavor potatoes as they cook, add about one and a half to tablespoons of salt to the water (22.5 to 30 mL).
2-2. Bring the pot to a boil.
Place the pot over the stove on high heat. Leave the pot on the stove until the water comes to a boil.
2-3. Simmer the potatoes until they're tender.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high. Simmer your potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes. When they're done, the potatoes should be tender. You should be able to easily cut through the potatoes with a fork.
When you're done, you can drain the potatoes over the sink using a colander.
If you're using a specific recipe, consult that recipe. If your recipe requires firmer potatoes, you may need to simmer your potatoes for a shorter timeframe.
3. Serving the Potatoes
3-1. Use the boiled red potatoes for mashed potatoes.
While russet (brown) potatoes are more commonly used for mashed potatoes, red potatoes can make excellent mashed potatoes, too. If you want mashed potatoes, you can easily mash your potatoes with a fork after boiling them.
It may help to boil the potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes longer if mashing them, as they'll be more tender.
In addition to butter, add some milk to your potatoes before mashing them.
3-2. Make potato salad.
If you want to use your red potatoes for cold potato salad, boil them, drain them, and place them in the refrigerator for an hour or so until they cool. Then, you can mix them with other ingredients to make potato salad.
Chop the potatoes once cool. The pieces should be less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
Toss the potatoes with 6 hard boiled and chopped eggs, 1 lb (450 g) fried and crumbled bacon, 1 stalk chopped celery, 1 chopped onion, and 2 cups (500 ml) mayonnaise until evenly mixed.
Keep the potato salad cool until you serve it.
3-3. Top with cheese.
A simple way to dress up your boiled red potatoes is simply to cover them with melted or toasted cheese. Parmesan cheese works for a quick, no fuss dressing, but cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese works well if you are willing to put in a few extra minutes of effort.
Grated Parmesan cheese can just be sprinkled on without any additional work.
For shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or other similar cheeses, sprinkle the boiled and drained potatoes. Microwave the cheese-covered potatoes for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
If you want to toast the cheese lightly and give the edges of the potatoes a mildly crispy edge, transfer the boiled and cheese-covered potatoes to a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) on the top rack of the oven.
3-4. Sprinkle with additional spices or dressings.
Red potatoes are versatile, so they can work well with many dressings made from savory herbs or savory spices. Experiment with different spices to add flavor to your potatoes.
For instance, a quick way to add color and flavor to your boiled and drained red potatoes would be to sprinkle them with 1 tsp (5 ml) of paprika.
Similarly, you can combine 1 tsp (5 ml) of paprika with 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of olive oil, whisking well until combined. Toss the cooked and drained potatoes in this mixture so that they benefit from the flavors of both the paprika and the oil.
3-5. Make “loaded” potatoes.
While loaded potatoes tend to be baked russet potatoes, you can create a similar dish with boiled and drained red potatoes. This can be a great appetizer for a party.
If the potatoes are not already quartered, cut them into quarters.
Place a serving size on a dish.
Coat with butter and toss until covered. Cover with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a dash of chopped fresh chives or green onions. Consider sprinkling with bacon bits, as well.

How to Boil Sweet Potatoes
|
1. Peeling and then Boiling Sweet Potatos
1-1. Wash your sweet potatoes.
You should always wash produce before cooking it. Sweet potatoes are no different. To wash sweet potatoes, run them under cold tap water. Remove any excess dirt or debris from the potato. Make sure the skin is completely clean before you proceed.
1-2. Peel the potato.
You can either use a vegetable peeler or a pairing knife to remove a sweet potato's skin. You should also cut off either end of the potato with a knife.
If you're having trouble peeling your sweet potato, scrub it with a produce brush first. This should loosen the skin, and make the peeling process easier.
1-3. Prepare a pot.
Find a pot that's big enough that you can fully submerge your sweet potato, or sweet potatoes, in water. You want to make sure all the potatoes fit comfortably without being crowded. You also want to make sure you have a cover for the pot you choose.
Once you find a suitable pot, fill it about halfway full with tap water.
Add your sweet potato, or sweet potatoes, to the pot. Make sure they're all covered with water. If necessary, add a bit more water.
Bring the water to a boil.
1-4. Cook the potatoes for 10 minutes and then check them.
Add your sweet potato, or sweet potatoes, to the pot. Cover the pot and allow the potatoes to cook for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes have passed, remove the cover from the pot.
The potatoes should be tender enough that you can pierce the outside of the potatoes easily. However, you should not be able to pass the knife through the sweet potatoes.
1-5. Cook longer, if necessary.
If your sweet potatoes are not tender enough after 10 minutes, cook them for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. You may also want to cook your sweet potatoes longer if you want very soft sweet potatoes, such as the kind you would use in mashed potatoes. These need to be cooked for 25 to 30 minutes.
When the sweet potatoes are cooked to your desired tenderness, drain them with a colander and set them aside to cool.
2. Boiling and then Peeling Your Potato
2-1. Wash your sweet potato.
Run the sweet potato under cool tap water. Wash the surface of the sweet potato. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris stuck to the sweet potato's skin.
2-2. Place your sweet potato in a pot.
Choose a pot big enough to cover all your sweet potatoes with water. You also need a pot with a lid. Fill the pot with water until the sweet potatoes are covered in water. Place the pot over on the stove and cover it with a lid.
2-3. Puncture the sweet potato with a knife after boiling for 10 minutes.
Keep the pot over high heat for 10 minutes. Then, remove the lid and take a knife. Use the knife to make a small puncture mark on the sweet potato.
2-4. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.
Once you've punctured your sweet potato, cover the pot again. Allow the sweet potato to cook for an additional 20 minutes over high heat.
When it's tender, you should be able to place a knife through the sweet potato without meeting any resistance. You may have to cook a sweet potato slightly longer if it's not done after 20 minutes.
2-5. Drain the water.
Use a colander to pour the hot water out of the pot. Allow the sweet potato to sit in the colander until it's cool to the touch. If you need to cool a sweet potato faster, you can place it under cool running water.
2-6. Remove the skin.
After the boiling process is over, a sweet potato's skin should slip off easily. Use a pairing knife to make an initial slice into a sweet potato's skin. From there, you can simply peel off the skin as if you were peeling the skin of a banana.
3. Using Your Sweet Potatoes
3-1. Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and use them as a side dish.
Boiled sweet potatoes can be used on their own as a side dish. You simply need to cut them into cubes. Then, toss them in some butter, salt, and pepper until you get your desired taste.
3-2. Add boiled sweet potatoes to other dishes.
You can also cut your sweet potatoes into cubes and add them to other dishes. Boiled sweet potatoes can be used in salads, tacos, soups, stews, pastas, and casseroles. If you're looking to add nutrients to a meal, throw in some boiled sweet potatoes.
3-3. Make mashed sweet potatoes.
It's best to peel sweet potatoes first if you're going to mash them. Boil about six sweet potatoes and then use an electronic mixer to add in other ingredients.
While mixing the sweet potatoes, add in 3/4 a cup of milk, adding it about half a cup at a time.
You should also add half a cup of butter and 3/4 of a cup of maple syrup.
Tips
Make sure there is enough water in the pot to cover all the sweet potatoes you are putting in it. If there is not, then you may want to stop adding sweet potatoes to the first batch and boil more in a second batch.

How to Boil Vegetables
|
1. Boiling Green Vegetables on the Stove-top
1-1. Trim your vegetables and clean them.
Vegetables like broccoli or green beans must be trimmed to remove tough and inedible portions of the veggie. For broccoli, this would entail removing the thick bases at the bottom of their stems. For green beans this would include snapping off the inedible ends. Rinse your vegetables under cold water after trimming them.
For vegetables with tough stems like broccoli, cauliflower, or asparagus, you can use a knife to cut off the bottom parts of the vegetable.
For corn, you want to remove the thick stem and husk it, or remove the green outer leaves.
Most frozen vegetables can be boiled before they are thawed.
Leafy greens also posses thick, fibrous stems that should be removed before boiling.
If you are cooking leafy greens like lettuce or cabbage, you will need also need to remove the core.
1-2. Cut your vegetables into similar sized pieces.
All pieces of your green vegetables should be a similar size to ensure even cooking among different greens. If you are cooking leafy greens like cabbage, cutting the leaves into smaller pieces will help you fit more of the cabbage into the pot.
For some vegetables like green beans or broccoli, you may have to cut down larger pieces, to accommodate the varying sizes of each piece.
1-3. Bring a pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil.
Boiling softer green vegetables is more effective if you are starting off with boiling water. Because they are not as thick as root vegetables, and don’t posses a hard exterior, green vegetables usually cook faster.
Salt raises the boiling point of water and can also help season your boiled vegetables.
1-4. Carefully place vegetables into the boiling water.
Once your water is a at a rolling boil, gently place the vegetables into the boiling pot of water. You can use a slotted spoon for this.
Cabbage typically takes 5-10 minutes to fully cook through.
Green beans will take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes depending on how they are cut.
Broccoli only takes 3-4 minutes to boil in water.
Corn on the cob takes 5 minutes to fully cook through on the stovetop.
It’s advised you don’t boil frozen vegetables because they may become mushy. However, if you must it should only take 3-5 minutes, depending on the vegetable. Make sure to read the back of the package for boiling times.
Be careful not to plop your vegetables into the water or it may splash you.
1-5. Let the water start boiling again and then reduce heat.
When you put your vegetables into the pot, it will likely stop boiling. Wait for the water to fully boil again, and reduce the heat.
You can prevent this by placing smaller portions of vegetables in at a time, instead of dumping them all in.
1-6. Put the lid on the pot and check the vegetables every 3-5 minutes for firmness.
You can test your vegetables by poking them with a fork or knife.
Putting the lid on the pot and reducing the heat will prevent your pot from overboiling.
1-7. Drain vegetables of water once cooked to preference.
Once your vegetables reach the desired firmness, drain the excess water out of the pot.
Leaving your vegetables in water can make them mushy.
2. Boiling Root Vegetables on the Stove-top
2-1. Peel and clean your vegetables.
Run your vegetables under cold running water to prevent you from getting sick from pesticides or bacteria. Although boiling water will remove most of the bacteria that can be found on vegetables, you can still be exposed to it by handling them.
If you don’t plan on peeling a vegetable, make sure you scrub it with a produce brush to remove dirt.
Dry off any vegetables you’ve peeled or washed with a paper towel or clean cloth.
2-2. Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces.
Cutting your vegetables into comparable sizes will ensure that they all cook at the same speed. While you don’t need to get the size of your vegetable pieces exact, try to get as close as you can.
If you cut different sizes, smaller pieces will overcook, while larger pieces will remain raw.
Root vegetables typically take longer to cook. If you want to cut down on cooking time, cut smaller pieces.
2-3. Put your pieces of vegetable into a pot.
Take your pieces of vegetable and place them into a deep pot that has an accompanying lid.
If you don’t have a big enough pot to boil all your vegetables, you can cook 2 batches of vegetables individually, in a smaller pot.
2-4. Fill your pot with cold water, completely submerging your vegetables.
Root vegetables such as beets, turnips, carrots, radishes, and potatoes cook better when they start in cold water. The gradual heat-up makes the vegetables resistant to overcooking, and ensures the outside and inside of your vegetable cooks uniformly.
Fill your pot so the water rises a half-inch above your vegetables.
Seasoning with salt at this stage will add more flavor to your vegetables.
2-5. Set your stovetop on high and bring the water to a boil.
Bring the water to a rolling boil. You’ll know you’ve achieved this when numerous bubbles begin to break on the water’s surface.
You can cover your vegetables while the water comes to a boil to quicken the rate of boiling.
A full rolling boil can not be dissipated by stirring.
2-6. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover your pot with the lid.
Different vegetables require different cooking times. Root vegetables take longer than all other types of vegetable because of the starch that can be found in them. Often root vegetables are also larger than regular vegetables, which can also increase boiling times.
Check on your vegetables often to ensure that you don’t overcook them.
Beets need to be boiled for 45 minutes to an hour.
Turnips will take around 25 minutes if cut into smaller pieces.
Typically potatoes will take 10-15 minutes to boil.
Carrots will usually take 8-10 minutes, with smaller pieces taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
Look online for specific boiling times for the root veggie that you want to cook.
If you continue to boil at the highest temperature, you’ll have water loss and run the risk of your water overboiling, or spilling out of the sides of your pot. This is why reducing the heat is so important after the water begins to boil.
2-7. Test if your vegetables are done by poking them with a fork.
You can check on your vegetables every 5 minutes if you’re unsure how long you should cook them. If you’re having a hard time getting through the vegetable with your fork, or the fork gets stuck in the vegetable, you need to cook it longer. If your fork goes in and out, then your vegetables are adequately cooked.
Frequently check back so you don’t overcook your vegetables. Over boiled vegetables get mushy.
2-8. Drain the pot of water.
You can either use a strainer or a colander to drain your pot of water. Make sure that you begin draining as soon as you turn off your stove, because the vegetables will still be cooking while sitting in the water, and you don’t want to overcook them.
3. Blanching and Shocking Vegetables
3-1. Put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
You begin blanching and shocking vegetables in the same manner that you would normally use to boil them. Make sure that before you boil your vegetables, you peel, trim, and cut them.
You should have enough water boiling to fully submerge your vegetables.
You can blanch and shock nearly every vegetable, whether it be a root or green veggie.
3-2. Place vegetables into the pot of boiling water and reduce the heat.
Lower your vegetables into the pot of boiling water carefully once your water has reached a rolling boil.
Use a heat resistant spoon to lower your vegetables into the water.
3-3. Stir vegetables with a wooden spoon until they become softer or greener.
A great sign of your veggies being boiled is if they get softer or greener. Make sure that your vegetables are still a little firm so they retain their crunch. Soft vegetables such as asparagus or peas would require a lower cooking time than a hard vegetables like carrots.
Asparagus takes 2-4 minutes to blanch.
Green beans, rutabaga and turnips take 3 minutes to blanch.
Watch your pot while your vegetables are cooking so that you don’t overcook them. A general rule of thumb is that vegetables should only be cooked long enough so that they are tender and crunchy.
3-4. Fill up a large bowl with water and ice and set it aside.
This bowl of water will be used later to shock your vegetables so that they immediately stop cooking and retain their crunchy texture.
Don’t place your ice water too close to the stove or your ice may melt.
3-5. Plunge your boiled vegetables into the bowl of ice water.
Putting the boiled vegetables into ice cold water will stop the vegetable from cooking internally, and is a way to prevent them from getting mushy even after you take them out of boiling water. This step is also known as “shocking” the vegetables.
You can use tongs or a slotted spoon to get your vegetables from your pot to the bowl of ice water.
3-6. Drain the vegetables well, and allow them to dry.
Once your green vegetables have been cooled, you can drain them using a strainer or colander. They should retain their firmness, but taste cooked through.
You can buy a strainer or colander at most home goods or department stores.
4. Boiling Vegetables in the Microwave
4-1. Put your vegetables into a microwaveable-safe bowl.
After cutting and peeling your vegetables, place them in a microwaveable-safe bowl. Make sure to avoid any bowls that have metals or that can crack under extreme heat.
This is one of the best methods to use when boiling frozen vegetables.
Certain plastics may leach into food when heated and could be detrimental to your health.
You can use glass or ceramic bowls in the microwave.
4-2. Add water to the bowl.
Add enough water so it is 1/8th up the side of your bowl. This will help boil and steam your vegetables.
You can use either cold or hot water for this.
4-3. Apply plastic wrap over the bowl and create ventilation holes.
Make sure that there is proper ventilation on the surface of your plastic wrap. You can poke holes through the top with a fork or a knife.
You can also use a ceramic plate and place it over the cover of your bowl.
4-4. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes.
Make sure that you have a rotating plate inside of your microwave. This will ensure that all your vegetables are cooked evenly. Set the power on your microwave to high before you input the time.
Certain microwaves have higher or lower power levels. This may have an effect on the consistency of your vegetables.
Broccoli will only take 3-5 minutes.
You can put less time on your microwave and stir to ensure that your vegetables aren’t getting mushy.
4-5. Take the film off the bowl and stir the vegetables.
Your vegetables may need extra time in the microwave if they are too tough or hard. If that is the case, then you can repeat the steps, but set the timer to 1-1.5 minutes.
Be careful of the steam that will escape your bowl once you remove your plastic wrap.
Warnings
Don't burn yourself. Handle hot pots carefully.

How to Boil Wash Doll Hair
|
1. What kinds of doll's hair can be boil washed?
Boil washing is most effective on Saran and Kanekalon hair.
Almost all doll's hair is made with synthetic material. Saran, Kanekalon, and various forms of nylon are the most common doll's hair materials. Barbie dolls and other dolls made by Mattel usually have Saran or Kanekalon hair.
Boil washing might not be completely effective for dolls with nylon hair. At the same time, it won't usually hurt the hair and might make it a little more manageable and easier to comb through.
American Girls dolls have acrylic hair that isn't suitable for boil washing. The hair can easily melt when exposed to high temperatures.
2. How can I find out what my doll's hair is made of?
Rely on the feel of the hair to figure out what type of hair it is.
Hair made with Kanekalon fiber is not as shiny as Saran hair. It's soft and flowy, breaks fairly easily, and will burn if you use a straightening iron on it while it's dry. Saran hair feels gummy and plastic and is usually very shiny. If you press dry Saran hair with a straightening iron, it will instantly melt. Unlike either Kanekalon or Saran hair, nylon hair does not break easily. It's typically shiny and holds bright color well.
If you can't tell from the feel of the hair, check the manufacturer's website. But keep in mind that larger manufacturers, such as Mattel, often use several different types of doll hair on different dolls, or even in different factories that produce the same doll.
Vintage and porcelain dolls might have hair made from wool or other animal or human hair.
Online doll collectors groups may also have information about this. But be careful before relying on any one person's assessment, even if they're a reputable collector. They might be wrong, or their experience might not apply to all dolls, even if it's the same doll produced in the same year.
3. What tools do I need to boil wash doll hair?
Generally, all you need is a fine-toothed comb, a pot, and a heat source.
It's a good idea to clear off a spot on the counter or in the sink in the kitchen so you have room to work, especially if you're boil washing several dolls. Lay out towels on the counter so you have space to comb the doll's hair and let them dry afterward.
Get another small comb and wire brush to style your doll's hair after washing it. Don't use a brush or comb that's been used on a human head—you'll transfer oils that could damage your doll's hair.
4. How should I boil my water?
You can boil your water on the stovetop or in the microwave.
There are many different heat sources available and it doesn't really matter how you heat your water. Just use the method you're most comfortable with! Make sure the bowl or pot you use is large enough to fit the hair of all the dolls you want to boil wash.
If you're boil washing the same doll more than once, or if you're boil washing a lot of dolls, replace the water each time you need to reheat it to keep it clean.
5. How long should I keep the hair in the water?
Leave the hair in the water for a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the type of hair.
If your doll has Kanekalon hair, don't stick it in the boil wash and just leave it. Instead, dip the hair gently in and out of the water several times, then let it sit for a few seconds before taking it out. For dolls with Saran hair, you can leave them in the water for a couple of minutes to let the water thoroughly soak the fiber.
Prop your doll up on the side of the bowl so the hair is resting in the water if you're going to let it soak for a couple of minutes and don't want to hold the doll. It's not a good idea to submerge the entire head in water because you might get water inside.
If your doll has high-temperature or heat-resistant hair, you might need to keep it in the water for several minutes for boil washing to work. That's okay, though, because you don't have to worry about it melting.
6. How can I get the best result from boil washing?
Comb your doll's wet hair with a fine-tooth comb.
Take the doll's hair out of the water and lay it out on a towel on the counter. Then, comb the doll's hair thoroughly from root to tip. Pay special attention to the hair near the doll's scalp, which is likely to have a lot of small tangles.
Make sure you flip the doll over and comb the hair from the underside as well.
While combing your hair, find your doll's natural hair parting and part it out the way it should be. This will make it easier for you to style later.
After you're done with the boil-wash, dip the hair in warm water mixed with a few drops of liquid fabric softener. Comb the hair while it's in the fabric softener to make the hair softer and more manageable.
7. Can I blow-dry the doll's hair after washing it?
Yes, if you alternate between warm and cool settings.
When you blow-dry your doll's hair, you want to be careful not to get the hair too hot, which could damage or melt it. Continue to comb through the hair as you blow-dry it to distribute air through the hair.
Combing the hair will also help remove curl. If you want to keep the curl in the hair, use a wider-tooth comb that won't pull out the curl as much.
8. Can you boil wash nylon hair?
Yes, but boil washing alone won't always do the trick.
There are different grades of nylon used to make doll hair, and some respond better to boil washing than others. It's always worth a try—if nothing else, the hair will be a little easier to comb out than it was before, although boil washing won't give nylon hair the clean shininess you'll see from Kanekalon or Saran hair.
Nylon hair is used on some Bratz dolls, Disney Store dolls, Moxie Girlz, and dolls made by companies such as Play Along, Galoob, and Hasbro.
9. How many dolls can I boil wash at once?
Start with 1 doll at a time until you get comfortable with the process.
If you concentrate on 1 doll at a time, you can pay more attention to how the hair is doing in the water. Once you've got it down, you can usually do 2 or 3 dolls at the same time, unless they have a lot of hair or it's in really bad condition.
This also depends on the size of the bowl or pot you're heating your water in. If you've got a larger bowl with more water, you might have room for more heads of hair—but be careful! You don't want to have so many that some are being left in too long or others are cooling down too much as you rotate between dolls.
10. Can you fix frizzy doll hair with boiling water?
Yes, just dip the hair in the water and gently comb it.
Heat your water on the stove just to boiling, then immediately remove it from the heat. Dip just your doll's hair into the water and run a comb through the tangles to straighten it out while it's in the water.
Keep combing the hair until all (or at least most) of the frizz is gone. You'll likely lose a few strands of hair in the water—this is normal.
If the boiling water doesn't fix frizz at the ends, trim the doll's hair with hair-cutting scissors to get rid of the rest of it.
11. Can I use boiling water to curl doll hair?
Yes, use perm rods for human hair to roll it.
Buy perm rods online or at your local beauty supply store—they're relatively inexpensive and will work best to curl your doll's hair. To give your doll a boiling water perm, simply roll the doll's hair in the configuration of curls you want, then dip the hair in boiling water for about 20 seconds. Leave the rods on your doll's hair until it's dried, then pop them off to uncoil the curls.
If you don't like the curls, boil wash the doll's hair and comb it straight, then try again. Since you're not adding any product to the doll's hair, you can do this several times without damaging it.
Different types of hair have different processing times and some generally hold curl better than others. Saran needs a longer processing time and won't hold curl as well. Kanekalon and nylon take curl faster and easier and also hold it longer.
If you don't want to buy perm rods, any cylindrical object, such as a drinking straw, will potentially work. You might find it's more difficult to keep the hair secured around it, though.
Warnings
Avoid using heat on the hair of American Girls dolls. The acrylic of the hair is more easily damaged and might melt.[20]

That's okay, though, because you don't have to worry about it melting.\\n6. How can I get the best result from boil washing?\\nComb your doll's wet hair with a fine-tooth comb.\\nTake the doll's hair out of the water and lay it out on a towel on the counter. Then, comb the doll's hair thoroughly from root to tip. Pay special attention to the hair near the doll's scalp, which is likely to have a lot of small tangles.\\nMake sure you flip the doll over and comb the hair from the underside as well.\\nWhile combing your hair, find your doll's natural hair parting and part it out the way it should be. This will make it easier for you to style later.\\nAfter you're done with the boil-wash, dip the hair in warm water mixed with a few drops of liquid fabric softener. Comb the hair while it's in the fabric softener to make the hair softer and more manageable.\\n7. Can I blow-dry the doll's hair after washing it?\\nYes, if you alternate between warm and cool settings.\\nWhen you blow-dry your doll's hair, you want to be careful not to get the hair too hot, which could damage or melt it. Continue to comb through the hair as you blow-dry it to distribute air through the hair.\\nCombing the hair will also help remove curl. If you want to keep the curl in the hair, use a wider-tooth comb that won't pull out the curl as much.\\n8. Can you boil wash nylon hair?\\nYes, but boil washing alone won't always do the trick.\\nThere are different grades of nylon used to make doll hair, and some respond better to boil washing than others. It's always worth a try—if nothing else, the hair will be a little easier to comb out than it was before, although boil washing won't give nylon hair the clean shininess you'll see from Kanekalon or Saran hair.\\nNylon hair is used on some Bratz dolls, Disney Store dolls, Moxie Girlz, and dolls made by companies such as Play Along, Galoob, and Hasbro.\\n9. How many dolls can I boil wash at once?\\nStart with 1 doll at a time until you get comfortable with the process.\\nIf you concentrate on 1 doll at a time, you can pay more attention to how the hair is doing in the water. Once you've got it down, you can usually do 2 or 3 dolls at the same time, unless they have a lot of hair or it's in really bad condition.\\nThis also depends on the size of the bowl or pot you're heating your water in. If you've got a larger bowl with more water, you might have room for more heads of hair—but be careful! You don't want to have so many that some are being left in too long or others are cooling down too much as you rotate between dolls.\\n10. Can you fix frizzy doll hair with boiling water?\\nYes, just dip the hair in the water and gently comb it.\\nHeat your water on the stove just to boiling, then immediately remove it from the heat. Dip just your doll's hair into the water and run a comb through the tangles to straighten it out while it's in the water.\\nKeep combing the hair until all (or at least most) of the frizz is gone. You'll likely lose a few strands of hair in the water—this is normal.\\nIf the boiling water doesn't fix frizz at the ends, trim the doll's hair with hair-cutting scissors to get rid of the rest of it.\\n11. Can I use boiling water to curl doll hair?\\nYes, use perm rods for human hair to roll it.\\nBuy perm rods online or at your local beauty supply store—they're relatively inexpensive and will work best to curl your doll's hair. To give your doll a boiling water perm, simply roll the doll's hair in the configuration of curls you want, then dip the hair in boiling water for about 20 seconds. Leave the rods on your doll's hair until it's dried, then pop them off to uncoil the curls.\\nIf you don't like the curls, boil wash the doll's hair and comb it straight, then try again. Since you're not adding any product to the doll's hair, you can do this several times without damaging it.\\nDifferent types of hair have different processing times and some generally hold curl better than others. Saran needs a longer processing time and won't hold curl as well. Kanekalon and nylon take curl faster and easier and also hold it longer.\\nIf you don't want to buy perm rods, any cylindrical object, such as a drinking straw, will potentially work. You might find it's more difficult to keep the hair secured around it, though.\\nWarnings\\nAvoid using heat on the hair of American Girls dolls. The acrylic of the hair is more easily damaged and might melt.[20]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Your doll's hair looks great right out of the box, but after repeated brushing and styling, it can start to get dirty and frizzy.

How to Boil Water
|
1. Boiling Water for Cooking
1-1. Choose a pot with a lid.
A lid will trap heat inside the pot, making the water boil faster. A large pot will take longer to boil, but the shape does not make a noticeable difference.
1-2. Add cold tap water.
Hot tap water can pick up lead from your water pipes, and is not recommended for drinking or cooking. Start with cold tap water instead. Don't fill it all the way — a full pot can splash you as it boils, and you'll need space to add the food if you're cooking.
Don't believe the myth: cold water does not boil faster than hot water. It's the safe option, but it will take a bit longer.
1-3. Add salt for flavor (optional).
Salt has almost no effect on the boiling temperature, even if you add enough to make it seawater! Add it only to flavor the food — especially pasta, which will absorb the salt along with the water.
You might notice a bunch of bubbles rise up as soon as you put the salt in. It's a fun effect, but it doesn't change the temperature.
Add salt when boiling eggs. If the shell cracks, the salt will help the egg white solidify, plugging the hole.
1-4. Place the pot over high heat.
Place the pot on the stove and turn the burner underneath it to high. Cover the pot with a lid to help the water boil a little faster.
1-5. Learn the stages of boiling.
Most recipes will either call for a simmer or a rolling boil. Learn how to recognize these stages, plus a couple less common options that will help you find the perfect temperature:
Quiver: Tiny bubbles appear at the base of the pot, but do not rise. The surface quivers slightly. This happens at about 140–170ºF (60–75ºC), a temperature good for poaching eggs, fruit, or fish.
Sub-simmer: A couple little streams of bubbles are rising, but most of the water is still. The water is around 170–195ºF (75–90ºC), and can be used for stew or braising meat.
Simmer: Small to medium bubbles break the surface often, all across the pot. At 195–212ºF (90–100ºC), this is a good time to steaming veggies or melting chocolate, depending how healthy you're feeling.
Full, rolling boil: Steam and constant movement that doesn't stop when you stir the water. This is the hottest your water is going to get: 212ºF (100ºC). Cook pasta at this temperature.
1-6. Add the food.
If you are boiling something in the water, add it now. The cold food will lower the water temperature, and might reduce it to an earlier stage. That's fine; just leave the heat on high or medium until the water returns to the correct level.
Unless a recipe specifically tells you to, don't add the food before the water is hot. That makes it hard to estimate the cooking time, and can have unexpected effects. For example, meat ends up tougher and less flavorful if exposed to cold water at any time during cooking.
1-7. Turn down the heat.
High heat is useful when you want to get the water to reach boiling temperature quickly. Once you've got where you want, reduce the heat to medium (for boiling) or medium-low (for simmering). Once the water is at a rolling boil, more heat will only make it boil away faster.
Check on the pot occasionally for the first few minutes, to make sure the water is stable at the stage you want it.
When you're making soup or another long-simmering dish, leave the lid slightly ajar. Closing the lid completely will raise the temperature too high for these recipes.
2. Purifying Drinking Water
2-1. Boil water to kill bacteria and other pathogens.
Just about every harmful microorganism found in water will die when the water is heated. Boiling will not remove most chemical contamination.
If the water is cloudy, filter the water first to remove dirt.
2-2. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
It's the heat that kills microorganisms, not the boiling action itself. However, without a thermometer, a rolling boil is the only accurate way to tell how hot the water is. Wait until the water is steaming and churning for at least one to three minutes. By this point, all the dangerous organisms should be dead.
2-3. Keep boiling for 1–3 minutes.
To be extra cautious, leave the water at a rolling boil for 1 minute. (Count to 60 slowly.) If you are higher than 6,500 ft (2,000 m) above sea level, let it boil for 3 minutes instead. (Count to 180 slowly.)
Water boils at a lower temperature at high elevations. This slightly cooler water takes longer to kill organisms.
2-4. Let cool and store in closed containers.
Even after cooling, the boiled water will be safe to drink. Keep it in clean, closed containers.
The water will taste "flat" compared to normal water, because some of the air inside it escaped. To improve the taste, pour the water back and forth between two clean containers. The water will trap more air as it falls.
2-5. Carry a portable boiling device when traveling.
If you will have access to electricity, bring along an electric heating coil. If not, carry a camping stove or kettle, plus a fuel source or batteries.
2-6. Leave plastic containers in the sun as a last resort.
If you have no way to boil water, put the water in a clear, plastic container. Leave it for at least six hours in direct sunlight. This will kill some dangerous bacteria, but it is not as safe as boiling.
3. Boiling Water in the Microwave
3-1. Put the water in a microwave-safe cup or bowl.
If you can't find a dish labeled "microwave safe," choose glass or ceramic cookware that does not have any metallic paint. To test whether it is microwave safe, place it in the microwave, empty, next to a cup of water. Microwave for one minute. If the dish is hot after the minute is up, it is not microwave safe.
For increased safety, use a container that has a scratch or chip (in scientific terms, a nucleation site) on the interior surface. This will help the water bubble, reducing the risk of an (already unlikely) "superheated" explosion.
3-2. Add a microwave-safe object to the water.
This also helps the water bubble. Try a wooden spoon, chopstick, or popsicle stick. If you don't mind flavoring the water, even a spoonful of salt or sugar should be enough.
Avoid using a plastic object, which may be too smooth to allow bubbles to form on it.
3-3. Put the water in the microwave.
In most microwaves, the edge of the rotating carousel will heat up faster than the center.
3-4. Heat in short intervals, stirring regularly.
For maximum safety, look up recommended water heating times in your microwave's manual. If you don't have the manual, try heating in 1-minute intervals. After each interval, cautiously stir the water, then remove it from the microwave to test its temperature. The water is ready when it's steaming and too hot to touch.
If the water is still cool after the first couple minutes, increase the length of each session to 1.5 or 2 minutes. The total amount of time depends on your microwave's power and the amount of water you're boiling.
Don't expect a "rolling boil" in a microwave. The water will still reach boiling temperatures, but it will be less obvious.
4. Boiling Water at High Altitudes
4-1. Understand the effect.
Moving up from sea level, the air gets thinner and thinner. With fewer air molecules to push the water down, each water molecule has an easier time breaking away from the others and entering the air. In other words, it takes less heat to get the water boiling. The water will boil sooner, but the low temperature will make it harder to cook food.
You don't need to worry about this effect unless you're at 2,000 ft (610m) or higher.
4-2. Start with more water.
Since liquids evaporate faster at higher altitudes you should also add a little extra water to compensate. If you're planning to cook food in the water, you should add even more water. The food will require a longer cooking time, so more water than you're used to will boil away.
4-3. Boil food for longer times.
To make up for the lower temperature, you can cook the food for a longer amount of time. Here's a simple rule for how much time to add:
If the recipe would take less than 20 minutes to boil at sea level, add 1 minute of cooking time for each 1,000 ft (305m) above sea level.
If the recipe would take more than 20 minutes to boil at sea level, add 2 minutes for each 1,000 ft (305m) above sea level.
4-4. Consider using a pressure cooker
At especially high altitudes, cooking in boiling water can take an unreasonably long time. Boil water a pressure cooker instead. This traps the water under an airtight lid, and raises the pressure so the water can reach higher temperatures. In a pressure cooker, you can follow the recipe as though you were cooking at sea level.
Tips
Traditionally, pasta is added to a giant pot of boiling water, about 4 to 6 quarts water per pound of pasta (8.4–12.5 liters per kilogram). More recently, some chefs have begun to use a small pot of water and even start the pasta in cold water.[22]

The second method is much faster.
When boiling water, try balancing a wooden spoon over the top of the pot to stop the bubbles from foaming over.
If you are boiling something other than water, such as sauce, turn it down as it reaches boiling to avoid scorching the bottom to the pot.
Warnings
Steam will scald more than boiling water due to the extra heat energy it contains.
Distilled water is more likely to superheat in the microwave, since it contains no impurities that help the water bubble. This is still not a common occurrence, but it's best to stick to tap water.
Boiling water and the steam coming off of it are hot enough to burn you. Use a potholder if you need to, and handle with care.

With fewer air molecules to push the water down, each water molecule has an easier time breaking away from the others and entering the air. In other words, it takes less heat to get the water boiling. The water will boil sooner, but the low temperature will make it harder to cook food.\\nYou don't need to worry about this effect unless you're at 2,000 ft (610m) or higher.\\n4-2. Start with more water.\\nSince liquids evaporate faster at higher altitudes you should also add a little extra water to compensate. If you're planning to cook food in the water, you should add even more water. The food will require a longer cooking time, so more water than you're used to will boil away.\\n4-3. Boil food for longer times.\\nTo make up for the lower temperature, you can cook the food for a longer amount of time. Here's a simple rule for how much time to add:\\nIf the recipe would take less than 20 minutes to boil at sea level, add 1 minute of cooking time for each 1,000 ft (305m) above sea level.\\nIf the recipe would take more than 20 minutes to boil at sea level, add 2 minutes for each 1,000 ft (305m) above sea level.\\n4-4. Consider using a pressure cooker\\nAt especially high altitudes, cooking in boiling water can take an unreasonably long time. Boil water a pressure cooker instead. This traps the water under an airtight lid, and raises the pressure so the water can reach higher temperatures. In a pressure cooker, you can follow the recipe as though you were cooking at sea level.\\nTips\\nTraditionally, pasta is added to a giant pot of boiling water, about 4 to 6 quarts water per pound of pasta (8.4–12.5 liters per kilogram). More recently, some chefs have begun to use a small pot of water and even start the pasta in cold water.[22]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\\n\\n\\n[23]\\nX\\nResearch source\\n\\n\\n\\n The second method is much faster.\\nWhen boiling water, try balancing a wooden spoon over the top of the pot to stop the bubbles from foaming over.\\nIf you are boiling something other than water, such as sauce, turn it down as it reaches boiling to avoid scorching the bottom to the pot.\\nWarnings\\nSteam will scald more than boiling water due to the extra heat energy it contains.\\nDistilled water is more likely to superheat in the microwave, since it contains no impurities that help the water bubble. This is still not a common occurrence, but it's best to stick to tap water.\\nBoiling water and the steam coming off of it are hot enough to burn you. Use a potholder if you need to, and handle with care.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Boiling water is a task so common that learning about it can help you anywhere. Cooking dinner?

How to Boil Water Fast
|
1. Use an electric kettle.
1-1. Electric kettles have their heating elements inside the vessel.
When water is added the heating element will be completely submerged. Electric kettles use up to 3000 W of power, depending on whether the kettle uses 110V or 220V, and depending on whether the kettle is rated for 15A or 20A, boiling water in a matter of minutes.
Some electric kettles have a digital thermostat on them that can allow for precise setting of the temperature of the water anywhere up to 100 °C (212 °F).
1-2. Take care not to overfill or underfill the kettle.
If the kettle is overfilled, it may not give sufficient space for the steam to escape. If the kettle is underfilled, then it can cause the heating element and the area around it to get really hot, potentially starting a fire.
1-3. Discard the first boil and any boils after cleaning with soap and water.
This boil will contain a lot of soap residue and thus not taste nice. It may also contain contaminants that make the water unsafe. After heating the water up to boiling point discard the first boil before using it.
1-4. Keep the kettle clean.
Only put purified or filtered water in. Do not add tea bags, coffee, milk, or anything that can potentially stain the inside of the kettle and thus make it dirty. These things can be added to the mugs later, which are much easier to clean.
If, for some reason, your electric kettle gets dirty, rinse with water and light soap, fill and boil, then discard the water. Do not put your electric kettle in the dishwasher as you will risk damaging it.
The electrical contacts of the kettle should never be submerged in water. Doing so can potentially create a short circuit and/or permanently damage the kettle.
Be wary of mineral buildups that can reduce the quality of the water over time. If the inside looks dirty, give it a good rinse, boil, and discard.
2. Use a hot water dispenser or coffee maker.
2-1. A hot water dispenser plugs into an electrical outlet and is filled with normal water.
The dispenser then heats the water to boiling point as it is flowing through and is poured out. Some models allow you to set a temperature as well, like an electric kettle.
You can also use your coffee maker as a hot water dispenser by not putting a coffee pod inside the brewing chamber.
2-2. Clean the dispenser before first use.
You probably do not want to use the hot water dispenser if you just got it. Before plugging it in, let the water run through both the hot and the cold taps. Discard the water that comes out.
2-3. Run the water if someone has just brewed coffee or tea from your coffee maker.
This will remove almost all of the coffee or tea particles from the chamber. After you should have pure and clean hot water.
3. Use a microwave.
3-1. Microwave ovens can heat small quantities of water to boiling in a couple of minutes.
The way it works is by sending out high-amplitude, low-frequency microwaves (2.45 GHz) into the oven. Some of the waves are absorbed by the water, which heats them up as thermal energy.
3-2. Make sure to use a microwave-safe dish.
Metals will get way too hot in the microwave or burn. Certain plastics will melt into the water which may be carcinogenic. Other dishes do a great job of absorbing heat just as well as water and thus are not safe for the microwave.
3-3. Be careful not to superheat the water.
Superheated water is water that is way above boiling point but that is not boiling. Superheating occurs when there are very few minerals in the water, when the dishware is too smooth for bubbles to form, and when the water is heated for too long. Each of these things causes the water to be held together by surface tension. If superheated water is jostled even slightly it can violently erupt out of the container, causing serious burns.
4. Use an induction cooktop.
4-1. Induction has minimal energy losses because the energy is transferred electromagnetically to the cookware.
An induction cooktop can in some cases be faster than an electric kettle. Set the cooktop to high for the fastest boiling.
4-2. Make sure to use a kettle or pot that can work with induction.
If your kettle is made of stainless steel or cast iron, it probably will work. If it is made of copper or aluminum, it probably will not.
4-3. Keep the induction cooktop scratch-free by making sure not to rub any cookware on its ceramic surface.
After you are done cooking, make sure to use the dedicated handles to lift the cookware. This will minimize scratching on both the cookware and the cooktop.
5. Use a ceramic or electric-resistive cooktop.
5-1. A ceramic cooktop radiates infrared heat in a circle right at the bottom of the cookware.
This maximizes the energy captured by the cookware and minimizes the energy lost to the environment.
5-2. An electric-resistive cooktop radiates heat using a heating element to heat up the cookware.
The energy is then transferred directly from the heating element to the cookware and into the water through conduction.
6. Don't be fooled by the 'HIGH' setting on a stove.
This setting just means that the flame or cooktop gets maximum power delivered to it.
It does not mean that the cookware actually captures the energy needed for heating. The reason the air around a gas stove gets hot is because of all that wasted energy. Many electric stoves also have wasted energy when set on "HIGH".
Tips
Boiling times depend on altitude, power, and pressure. Higher altitudes have lower boiling points for water.
Warnings
The cookware and water will be extremely hot. Please take care not to accidentally burn yourself.
Always turn off and/or unplug kitchen appliances you are not using to reduce the fire risk.

1-1. Fill your kettle at least halfway up with water.
Remove the lid from the top of your kettle and hold it under a flowing faucet for a few seconds. If you want to speed things along, use hot water and let the tap run for a few moments before filling the kettle so that you’re starting with water that’s already warm.
Boiling water in a kettle that’s less than half full can be bad for it. If it overheats, it could burn, warp, or even melt.
1-2. Turn on one burner of your stove to medium-high heat.
Using a setting that’s hot (but not too hot) will help bring your water to a boil in less time without placing undue stress on your kettle. If your stove has burners of different sizes, select one of the larger ones. That way, the heat will be spread out evenly over a greater area.
If you’re timing your water with other food or beverage items, it’s okay to use a slightly lower heat setting (around medium). Keep in mind, however, that it may not ever boil if the temperature is too low.
1-3. Place the kettle on the cooktop.
Set the kettle directly in the center of the preheated burner. From here, all you have to do is sit back and let the stove take care of the rest!
Be sure to put the lid back on the kettle. Otherwise, it will take longer to heat up.
If you’re using a gas cooktop, adjust the flames until they’re concentrated under the bottom of the kettle rather than letting them overlap the sides. If they climb too high, they could damage or discolor to the handle or lid.
1-4. Heat the water for 5-10 minutes, or until it starts to bubble constantly.
Water boils at 195–220 °F (91–104 °C). The amount of time it takes your kettle to reach this temperature may vary slightly, depending on how full it is. Afterwards, it will be extremely hot. Avoid touching any part except the handle.
It’s hard to predict exactly how long a certain amount of water will take to boil, so keep a close eye on the kettle the entire time it’s on the stove.
1-5. Listen for your water to boil if you’re using a whistling kettle.
Whistling kettles are fitted with a small device that emits a high-pitched sound when steam escapes from the spout. These types of kettles can be useful if you’re a multi-tasker or tend to be forgetful, as they’ll alert you when your water is ready.
Even if you’re using a whistling kettle, it’s a good idea to stick close so you can turn off the heat as soon as your water begins to boil.
1-6. Turn off the stove and set the kettle on a heat-resistant surface to cool.
Once your water has come to a boil, shut off the cooktop completely. Then, remove the kettle from the hot burner and place it on one of the unused cooking surfaces. Wait until the bubbling has died down to pour up your water.
To prevent burns, use a potholder to grip the handle of the kettle.
Keep your hands and face away from the spout when you begin pouring. Steam can also cause burns, if you’re not careful.
2. Using an Electric Kettle
2-1. Fill your electric kettle with water.
Open the hinged lid and run water into the kettle until it’s at least halfway full—under- or overfilling it could damage it or present a possible safety hazard. If there’s a fill line indicated somewhere on your kettle, make sure the water doesn’t sit higher than this point.
Most electric kettles are made to hold up to about 1.7 litres (57 fl oz) of water.
You can buy an electric kettle from any home goods store. Like all appliances, they range in price, but it’s not uncommon to find basic models for less than $30.
2-2. Set the kettle on its base.
Lower the kettle down into position so that the bottom rests securely over the center prong. You may hear a faint clicking sound once it’s seated properly.
Make sure the kettle is plugged into the nearest wall outlet.
Before turning on your kettle, it’s a good idea to remove any objects in the immediate vicinity that could be damaged by heat.
2-3. Flip the power switch on the backside of the kettle to the “On” position.
On most models, the power switch will be located on or near the handle. Once you hit this switch, a small light will appear on the base to indicate that the kettle is plugged in and active.
If you want to turn the kettle off at any point, you can do so by flipping the power switch to the “Off” position.
2-4. Allow 2-4 minutes for the water to begin boiling.
Due to their highly-efficient design, electric kettles heat up in about half the time that it takes ordinary stovetop kettles. They’re also programmed to switch off automatically once they reach their targeted temperature, which means you’re free to do other things while your water heats up.
For your own safety, avoid touching any part of the kettle while it’s in use.
2-5. Handle the kettle with caution while it’s hot.
Lift the kettle by its handle and use your other hand to steady it as you pour. Once you have as much water as you need, return the kettle to its base and take a moment to confirm that the light is off.
Don’t forget to refill your kettle before using it again.
Tips
Cut down on the amount of time it takes to heat up water for pasta and other dishes by adding boiling water from your kettle to larger pieces of cookware.
Unplug your electric kettle anytime you plan on being out of the house for an extended period.
Warnings
If you have small children at home, make sure you keep hot kettles situated out of grabbing distance.

How to Boil Water Without Electricity or Gas
|
1. BBQ Grill
Use the charcoal to bring a pot of water to a boil.
Chances are you’ve got a grill in your backyard or somewhere in your garage, but if you don’t, you can pick one up from the store or borrow one from a neighbor. Stack a pile of coals in the center of the grill and light it up. Once all of the coals are burning, place a pot or kettle full of water on top of the grate. Close the lid of the grill if you can and wait for the water to start boiling. Once it’s bubbling away, use an oven mitt or a thick glove to remove the container from the grill.
If you have propane grill that still has some juice left, you can use the gas to heat up a pot or kettle of water.
2. Fire pit
Start a small campfire
Head out into your backyard and dig a small, shallow hole. Build a “tipi” with thicker branches and then place smaller branches and leaves in the center. Light the fire in the center and wait until there’s a nice bed of coals. Then, place a pot or metal kettle of water on the coals until the water starts to boil.
Practice good fire safety and keep a bucket of water nearby in case you need to quickly extinguish the fire.
3. Tea candles
Place the candles in a baking tray and set a pan of water on top.
Tea candles, also known as tea lights, are small candles in a thin metal cup. They’re great to have for lighting if your power goes out and you can also use them to boil water in a pinch. Place about 10-15 tea candles in a baking tray and set the tray on top of your oven. Light the candles and place a frying pan full of water on top of the tray so there’s about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) between the flame and the pan. Once the water starts boiling, you can remove the pan.
It can take about 10 minutes or so for the water to start boiling.
Use a wide frying pan so the heat is more evenly distributed and the water will boil more quickly.
4. Fireplace
Set a pot or kettle right on the coals to boil your water.
If you have a fireplace in your home, you’re in luck! You can easily use it to boil water without any gas or electricity. Simply start up a fire and wait until there’s a nice bed of coals. Then, fill a pot or a metal kettle with water and set it in the coals. Once the water starts boiling, use an oven mitt to remove it so you don’t burn your hands.
Keep in mind the coals may singe or darken whatever pot or kettle you use, so you may want to go with one you don’t really mind getting dirty or burnt.
5. Wood stove
Place a pot or kettle on top to heat your water.
If you have a wood stove, sometimes known as a wood-burning stove, fill it up with firewood and start up a fire. Allow the fire to burn and heat up the stove so it’s nice and toasty. Fill a pot or a metal kettle with water and place it on top of the stove. Once the water starts to boil (it may take a little while), put on an oven mitt and remove the container from the top of the stove.
Some fireplaces have a wood stove connected to them to funnel heat and warm a room. If you have that type of setup, you can start up a fire in your fireplace and place a pot or kettle on your wood stove!
6. Rocket stove
Add your wood fuel and place a container with water on top.
A rocket stove is a small, metal stove with a J-shaped tube that uses a small amount of wood to produce a lot of heat. If you have one, you can use it to boil your water pretty easily. Simply add wood into the fuel chamber, light it up, and then place a pot or a kettle of water on the cooking surface on top of the stove. Once the water starts to boil, you can remove the container and you’re all set.
You can find rocket stoves at your local sporting goods and outdoor store. You can also order them online.
7. Camp stove
If you have a small camp stove, use it to boil a pot of water.
Camp stoves use fuel such as butane or propane and can be really useful for cooking and boiling water if you lose power. Turn on the camp stove and place a pot or metal kettle of water on top until it starts boiling. Then, remove the container and turn off the stove if you’re finished using it.
You can find camp stoves at your local sporting goods and outdoor store. You can also order them online. They’re handy to have, so you may want to keep one in your garage just in case you need it!
8. Solar cooker
If it’s bright and sunny, you can use this to boil your water.
Solar cookers can be shaped like a dome or a tube and they use reflective material to reflect the sun’s rays into the center to heat up and cook food. You can also use them to boil water. Place the solar cooker in direct sunlight and place a pot filled with water in the center. Cover the pot with a lid and wait for the water to start boiling. Then, carefully remove the pot while wearing an oven mitt so you don’t burn your hands.
9. Iodine
It won’t boil your water, but a few drops can sanitize it.
If you just need to make water safe to drink, add 5 drops of a tincture that’s 2% iodine to a quart or liter of water. If the water is super cloudy, add 10 drops. Stir the water well and let it stand for 30 minutes after you add the drops so the iodine has a chance to fully sanitize it.
This is also a great option if your only source of water is from a river, stream, or even snow.
10. Bleach
Add a small amount of unscented household bleach to sanitize water.
While it should only be used as a last resort, if you need to make water safe to drink, you can use bleach as long as you dilute it correctly. Never use scented or bleach that has added cleaners. Check the label to make sure it contains 6% or 8.25% of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). For 1 quart or liter of water, use a dropper to add 2 drops of 6% or 8.25% bleach. Stir the water and let it stand for 30 minutes before you use it.
If the smell of chlorine is too strong after 30 minutes, wait a few hours and it should get a little better.
Tips
Wait until the water comes to a rolling boil and let it boil for at least 1 minute to fully purify it.[11]

How to Boil Water in the Microwave
|
1. Choose a Microwave-Safe Container
Use a proper container.
This easy-to-read chart will help you determine if your container is up to the task.
Common Materials by Microwave Safety Factor
Material
Microwave Safe?
Notes
Glass
Yes
Ceramic
Yes
Paper plates
Yes
Wax/parchment paper
Yes
Most metals (including aluminum foil and silverware)
Microwaving metal can produce sparks which can damage the microwave or even start fires.
Brown paper bags
Can catch fire of emit toxic fumes in the microwave.
Sealed/airtight containers
Can burst from a buildup of hot steam.
Containers designed for one use (yogurt cups, margarine cups, etc.)
Can melt, burn or emit toxic fumes.
Plastic (wraps, Tupperware-esque containers, etc.)
Hazardous chemicals in plastic can leach into food. However, plastic containers that are FDA certified as "microwave safe" are fine to use.
Styrofoam
See plastic; some Styrofoam containers marked as "microwave safe" may be used.
2. Boiling Water Safely
2-1. Pour the water into a microwave-safe cup or bowl.
Boiling water with a microwave is remarkably easy. To start, pour the water into a container made of the microwave-safe materials listed above.
Make sure the container is not sealed shut. A buildup of hot steam can cause a harmful explosion.
2-2. Place a clean, microwave-safe object in the water.
Next, put a non-metallic object such as a wooden spoon, a chopstick, or a popsicle stick in the water. This prevents a dangerous problem called "super-heating" by giving the water something to form bubbles on.
Super-heating occurs when water in the microwave heats water past its boiling point and the water is unable to form bubbles because there are no nucleation sites (essentially rough spots for the bubbles to form on). As soon as the water is disturbed or a nucleation site is introduced, the built-up superheated water forms steam very quickly, causing a small explosion of boiling water.
If you don't have any non-metallic objects to put in your water, use a container that has a scratch or chip on the interior surface. This will act as a nucleation site to help the water bubble.
2-3. Put the water in the microwave.
Heat in short (e.g., no more than one and a half minute) intervals, stirring regularly until the water is steaming. Even if these steps are followed, bubbling may not be obvious as it would be on the stove. The most accurate way to ensure the water is boiling is to use a thermometer. At sea level, water boils at (212° F; 100° C); this temperature decreases at higher altitudes.
If you're using a container that holds heat well (like a glass or ceramic one), be careful when you take the water out of the microwave to stir it. Use a towel or potholder to protect yourself from burns as you handle it.
2-4. To sterilize water, keep it boiling.
If you're boiling water to purify it, heat it in the microwave long enough to kill the microorganisms. The Centers for Disease Control and the Environmental Protection Agency recommend boiling the water for at least one minute, or 3 minutes at altitudes above 6,562 feet (>2000 m).
3. Avoiding Superheating Hazards (More Tips)
3-1. Don't heat the water for excessively long stretches.
If, after reading the advice in the section above, you're worried about a superheating accident when you try to boil water, don't worry — there's more you can do to keep yourself safe. For instance, perhaps the single biggest thing you can do to avoid the risk of superheated water is to not heat it for long periods of time. If your water isn't heated past its boiling point, it can't become superheated.
The exact amount of time you'll want to limit your heating sessions to can vary based on the strength of your microwave. To be safe, try limiting your heating to a single one-minute segment at first. Based on how hot the water gets from this first heating attempt, you can adjust your next one accordingly.
3-2. Avoid extremely smooth containers.
For the same reason that it it's a good idea to add something non-metallic to your water or to use a container with scratches in it, it's a bad idea to use perfectly smooth containers. Examples of these can often include new, pristine glass and ceramic bowls, though a variety of other materials can also be smooth enough to cause problems.
Instead, use an older, more worn container or one with visible scratches at the bottom — these will create nucleation sites for bubbles to form.
3-3. Carefully tap the side of the container when it finishes heating.
Once you believe you've heated your water long enough to get it hot, check for superheating by firmly tapping on the side of the container before you take it out of the microwave. Ideally, this should be done with a to protect your hands.
If the water is superheated, tapping the container can cause it to suddenly "burst" over the top. This may spill water into the microwave, but since you haven't removed it yet, you should avoid any burns.
3-4. Stir the hot water with a long object while it is in the microwave.
Still not sure whether the water is superheated or not? Stir it with a long rod or stirring stick to know for sure. Introducing an object and disturbing the water gives it nucleation sites to form bubbles — if it is superheated, it will rapidly burst or boil over. If it doesn't, congratulations! Your water is safe.
3-5. Keep your face away from the container until you are sure it is safe.
This may seem like it goes without saying, but it's important not to put your face anywhere near water that you think may have even a tiny risk of being superheated. Most injuries from superheated water result when a person removes the water from the microwave and looks into the container — a sudden burst of superheated water at this point can cause serious burns on the face and even permanent vision damage in the worst of cases.
Warnings
A mug of water without something in it, like a chopstick, has a much higher risk of superheating because the bubbles have nowhere to gather. Putting something in with the water is a small but really important step.
Do not put a sealed container of water in the microwave. The expanding water vapor can cause the container to burst open, creating a huge mess!

How to Boil Water over a Fire
|
1. Building the Fire
1-1. Create a teepee with tinder and kindling, then light the fire.
Take a few handfuls of tinder like dry grass or newspaper and place them in the center of your fire pit. Use small sticks or twigs about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter for kindling and build a teepee around the tinder. Use matches or a lighter to light the tinder and get the fire started.
1-2. Add larger pieces of wood once the fire gets going.
Wait for the kindling to fully catch and then add a few small logs on top. As the fire builds, gradually add thicker logs to create a solid fire full of coals you can use for boiling.
Don’t add thicker logs until the smaller ones have really started to burn so you don’t smother the fire.
Larger sticks are going to form the long duration or the fire, and will continue feeding small to medium sized sticks for a period of time. If you go too big with that, you're committing yourself to either a larger fire that you're probably going to have to put out before all your fuel has built out. Finding the balance is tricky, but necessary.
1-3. Wait until your fire burns down into a bed of coals.
Stop adding additional logs or branches to your fire when you plan to boil your water. Allow it to burn down until it forms a nice smoldering bed of coals so you can use it more effectively.
A roaring fire with raging flames won’t heat your container evenly. Besides, it’ll be tough for you to reach into it to boil your water safely. Instead, allow the fire to smolder down until it forms a nice bed of coals
You want to have a small, hot fire for boiling water.
1-4. Gather the hottest coals into a circle with a stick.
Find a sturdy stick or use a fire poker that you can use to safely move the coals around. Gather them up into the center of the fire and try to form a cohesive circle to help concentrate the heat.
The more controlled and concentrated your fire, the more evenly it’ll heat your container.
A well-controlled fire is a safe fire, and it’s easier to use for cooking and boiling.
2. Positioning the Container
2-1. Choose a metal pot, can, or bottle to boil your water with.
Try to clear out any dirt or debris inside of it so it’s as clean as possible. You can use stainless steel, copper, aluminum, or any other metal container—just make sure it’s metal so it won’t melt.
The size and shape of the container can affect how quickly the water boils. The more surface area, the faster the water heats up.
Avoid using other materials like plastic or wood, which will burn before the water has a chance to boil.
2-2. Fill the container with clean water.
Find a source of clean water such as bottled or from a fresh stream. Fill up your container with the water you want to boil.
Never drink water directly from a stream, even if it looks clear. You need to boil it first to make sure there aren’t any contaminants that could make you sick.
2-3. Place the container directly onto the hot coals.
Look for an even section in the center of the coals. Take your container filled with water and gently place it right on top of the circle of coals in the fire. Make sure it’s balanced and won’t tip over while it heats. Now, all you have to do is sit back and wait!
If it helps, you can use a wet rag to protect your hand when you place the container on the coals.
Be careful not to tip over the container or you could put out your fire.
2-4. Use a metal rack over the fire as an alternative.
If you don’t want to get too close to the coals, or you don’t want to place your container directly on top of them, choose a steel rack that won’t melt from the heat. Set up the rack so it sits just above the coals. Then, place your container of water on top of the rack.
The metal rack can serve as a makeshift stovetop. You can place pans on top and cook food over the fire as well.
2-5. Hang the container on a tripod if you have a large fire.
If you’re using a big fire that hasn’t burned down to coals, take 3 sticks and tie their ends together with string or twine to form a make-shift tripod. Place the tripod over your fire and hang your container filled with water on it so it’s suspended over the fire.
Your container will need a handle so you can hang it from your tripod.
3. Boiling the Water
3-1. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
A rolling boil is a vigorous, bubbling boil that helps ensure the water is hot enough to kill any contaminants. Wait for the water inside the container to start bubbling constantly.
Even if the water looks clear and it’s started to boil, it’s super important that you allow it to stay at a rolling boil to make sure it’s safe.
3-2. Let the water boil for 1 minute to kill any pathogens.
Once your water reaches a rolling boil, allow it to continue for a full minute. That’ll help kill any potential pathogens in the water and make it safe to drink.
If you’re at an altitude greater than 6,562 feet (2000 meters), let the water boil for a full 3 minutes.
3-3. Use a wet rag to grab the container so you don't burn yourself.
Soak a cloth in water and wring out the excess. Use the damp cloth to reach into the fire and remove the container. Set the container aside and allow it to cool if you plan to drink it. You can also use the boiling hot water to make coffee or tea if you like.
If you don’t have a rag, you can gather a bunch of damp leaves and use them to quickly remove the container from the fire.
If your container has a handle, you can use a stick to lift it out of the fire.
Tips
If you’re in a hurry, or your fire is getting low, try not to boil more water than you need so you’re not waiting around for it.
If windy, it might be a good idea to move your fire closer to a natural wall, such as a boulder, to help block the wind and keep your fire lit.
Warnings
Never drink water from a stream without first boiling it.
Don’t leave your campfire unattended.
When you’re finished with your fire, dump lots of water on it, stir it with a shovel, and then dump more water on it. Make sure it’s cold before you leave the area.

How to Boil a Hot Dog Using a Microwave or Stove
|
1. Boiling on the Stove
1-1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Choose a pot that's large enough to fit all the hot dogs you want to boil. Leave a few inches of room at the top of the pot so it won't boil over when you add the dogs.
1-2. Place the hot dogs in the pot.
Carefully slip them into the pot one by one. Don't toss them in all at once, or the boiling water could splash you.
1-3. Boil the hot dogs for 6 minutes.
Cooking your Frankfurt for 6 minutes is long enough to get them piping hot but short enough to keep them from splitting down the middle. Avoid letting the hot dogs split, since they'll lose a lot of flavor if they do.
If you're boiling a large pack of hot dogs, they may need extra cooking time. Test a dog by making a small center slit to see whether it steams. If not, continue cooking for another minute or two.
If you're boiling just a dog or two, they may be ready before six minutes are up. Test a dog at five minutes by making a small slit to see whether it steams. If not, put it back in the water.
1-4. Remove the hot dogs from heat and drain them.
Pour the entire pot of dogs through a colander to drain the water. Or, you can remove them one at a time with tongs, shaking off the water as you go.
If you made enough hot dogs for people to come back for seconds, leave the extra dogs in the pot of warm water. Put a lid on the pot and move it to a cool burner; the extra dogs are still likely to be hot when you're ready to eat them.
If you've set up a hot dog bar and you're serving a big crowd, you can keep the dogs warm by turning the burner to the lowest heat setting.
2. Boiling in the Microwave
2-1. Fill a microwave-safe bowl half-full with water.
Make sure the bowl is large enough to hold the number of hot dogs you want to cook. A glass or plastic microwave-safe bowl works fine.
2-2. Slit the top of the hotdogs lengthwise before putting them in the bowl.
Use a knife to make a shallow slit from one end of the hot dog to the other; this keeps the dogs from bursting in the microwave. Add the frankfurters to the bowl of water.
2-3. Cook the hot dogs on high for 75 seconds or until they're steaming hot.
After 75 seconds, cut the tip off a hot dog to see whether it steams. If it doesn't, continue cooking, pausing the microwave every 30 seconds to check them again.
You can also check to see if it needs more time by looking at the texture of the hot dog; if the skin looks wrinkled and darker in color, it's probably done.
If you're cooking more than a few hot dogs, they will need an extra minute or two to fully heat.
Hot dogs can be contaminated with Listeria after they’ve been cooked at the plant. To avoid getting sick, heat hot dogs thoroughly before eating.
2-4. Drain the hot dogs.
Use a fork to remove them from the hot water and drain the dogs on a paper towel before serving them.
3. Adding Extra Flavor
3-1. Season the water before you boil the hot dogs.
Plain-boiled hot dogs taste great, but you might want to give yours a kick by adding some spices. Try adding 1/2 teaspoon (1.44 g) of salt if you like your hot dogs salty. In addition, pour in one or more of the following spices before you turn up the heat:
1/2 teaspoon (1.44 g) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon (1.44 g) Italian spice mix
1/4 teaspoon (.72 g) cayenne pepper
3-2. Pour a beer into the water.
Beer imparts a delicious, mellow flavor to the hot dogs while making them a tender texture It's the perfect way to add flavor if you're cooking up a batch of dogs to eat while watching sports or serving a roomful of adults who like the flavor of beer. Replace 1 1/2 cups (360 g) of water with a can of beer. Bring it to a boil and cook the dogs as normal.
If you're up for an experiment, try different types of beer. For example, a pale ale will impart a very different taste than a darker beer.
This method works for hot dogs of any kind, but tastes especially good with all-beef dogs.
3-3. Add a garlic clove to the water.
Tossing in a garlic clove or two while the water comes to a boil is a great way to add earthy flavor to your hot dogs. You don't even have to peel the garlic; just throw in a clove or two.
3-4. Try sautéing the hot dogs after you boil them.
To sauté your hot dogs, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a dash of olive oil. Use a knife to split your dogs in half lengthwise. When the oil is hot, sauté the dogs split-side down until they're brown and crispy.
3-5. Dress the dogs with your favorite condiments.
Place your dogs in their buns and add tasty toppings. No matter how you cook your dogs, the best flavor comes afterward in the form of great condiments. Here are a few ideas to get creative with your hot dogs:
Chili
Shredded cheese
Ketchup and mustard
Chopped onions, raw or sauteed
Sauteed mushrooms
Pickle relish
Tips
If you don't want your bun to be soggy, dry the hot dog with a paper towel before placing your hot dog in the bun.
Note that grilling or pan grilling will usually bring out the real hot dog taste, but it's an issue of personal preference.
Consider pre-boiling hot dogs in water seasoned with garlic, spices, or beer, letting them cool, then using them to homemade corn dogs.
Warnings
Be sure not to fill the pan too high with water, otherwise it may overflow when it boils.
Be careful when removing the hot dogs from the boiling water. If the hot dog falls back into the boiling water it may splash and possibly cause burns.
Cook hot dogs until they're steaming to prevent food-borne illnesses.

How to Boil a Hot Dog in a Microwave
|
1. Steps
1-1. Take a fork and stick it into one or two hot dogs about a quarter of the way from the end at a good angle so that the fork's handle lies parallel to the hot dog for 3/4 of the hot dog's length.
The fork must be long enough that the handle is longer than the hot dog.
1-2. Put the hot dog into a microwave safe plastic or glass tumbler that is taller than the hot dog, but not the fork.
1-3. Fill the glass up with COLD water to cover the hot dog (but not the fork).
It is important that the water be cold (since the hot dog out of the fridge will also be cold) so that it doesn't boil early and not cook the hot dog.
1-4. Put the glass into the microwave.
IMPORTANT: The fork must not be able to come in contact with any part of the microwave or it could spark. If the microwave has a turn table make sure the fork won't contact any part of the microwave while it is turning.
The point of the fork in the hot dog is to hold the hot dogs under the water so that the end of the hot dogs don't get over cooked by being out of the water and getting direct exposure to microwaves (which most hot dogs will do since they will float in the water).
No, putting a metal fork in the microwave will not hurt your microwave. If the fork touches the side of a running microwave it may spark and damage the fork or the metal shell of the microwave, but as long as you prevent this it is perfectly safe.
1-5. For one hot dog cook on high two minutes, for two hot dogs cook three minutes.
Adjust for the strength of your microwave. When the water boils for 20-30 seconds the hot dog is done.
1-6. Carefully remove the glass from the microwave, it will be hot since it contains boiling water.
Grasp the fork with a hot pad to take out all the hotdogs.
1-7. If you like warm hot dog buns put them in the microwave for 10 seconds.
1-8. Use the fork to move the hot dog or hot dogs to their buns.
1-9. Finished.
Tips
Make sure the fork does not touch the side of the running microwave, as it may spark and damage the fork or the metal shell of the microwave. As long as you prevent this it is perfectly safe.
Do not cook the buns in the microwave at the same time as the hot dogs. Cooking bread in the microwave causes the gluten to plasticize when the water is steamed from the bread. So, you want to heat bread very gently.
You may use a plastic fork in this process as long as it's heavy enough to keep the hot dog under water (that's the only role for the fork, any other method of keeping the hot dog submerged so that no part of the dog gets direct contact with microwaves will work).
Warnings
It should be impossible to super-heat the water given that you have both a hot dog and a fork in the water, but if you cook the water more than the specified time and it refuses to boil you should take extreme care when removing the container as it may have super-heated and could boil as soon as you jostle the container.

How to Boil a Mouthpiece
|
1. Setting up Your Work Area
1-1. Read and follow the instructions that came with your mouthpiece.
Although the process for molding mouthpieces is similar no matter what type you have, each particular model will have its own guide for shaping the mouthpiece. Make sure you understand the instructions before you begin molding yours.
1-2. Add 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of water to a saucepan.
You only need enough water to cover the mouthpiece. Using too much will make it take longer for the water to boil. Additionally, you’ll have a harder time removing the mouthpiece from deeper water.
You can always place the mouthpiece in the saucepan, then run cool water over it. Just remove the mouthpiece from the pan before you heat the water.
1-3. Fill a small bowl or cup with 4 to 8 fluid ounces (120 to 240 mL) of cool water.
Use a bowl that’s large enough to hold the mouthpiece. Later, you’ll use this water to cool down the mouthpiece before you put it in your mouth.
The mouthpiece will be very hot when you take it out of the boiling water, and you don’t want to accidentally burn your mouth.
1-4. Place a pair of tongs or a spoon next to the stove.
You’ll need a utensil to remove the mouthpiece from the water without getting burned. Tongs work best because they’ll grasp the mouthpiece. However, a large spoon will also work.
If you’re using a spoon, use a slotted spoon for best results. The holes will make it easier to remove the mouthpiece without collecting water.
2. Softening the Mouthpiece
2-1. Bring the saucepan of water to a boil over high heat.
The water should start to boil quickly since it’s not very deep. Watch for bubbles to rise from the bottom of the pot up to the surface. When the water is steadily boiling, turn off the pot.
Don’t leave the saucepan unattended while it’s on the stove.
2-2. Place the mouthpiece in the water for 30-60 seconds to soften it.
Drop the mouthpiece into the water, being careful not to splash. Set a timer or watch the clock to make sure you don’t heat the mouthpiece for too long.
Don’t heat the water for longer to 90 seconds, or it might ruin the mouthpiece.
2-3. Use tongs or a spoon to remove the mouthpiece from the water.
Turn off the heat, then reach your tongs or spoon into the boiling water. Slowly lift the mouthguard out of the water and transfer it to the bowl or cup of cool water. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Don’t hover your face over the steam, as it may burn your skin.
2-4. Dip the mouthpiece in cold water for 2 seconds to cool it.
Submerge your mouthpiece in the cool water for a few seconds, then quickly remove it. This will cool down the mouthpiece so it doesn’t burn your mouth. However, don’t leave it in the water for too long, as the mouthpiece may cool down too much for you to shape it.
After you remove the mouthpiece from the water, it’s a good idea to touch it carefully with your finger to make sure it’s not too hot to put it in your mouth. If it is, you can dip the mouthpiece a second time.
3. Shaping the Mouthpiece
3-1. Place the mouthpiece in your mouth.
Open your mouth wide and slide the mouthpiece inside. Then, bring your lower jaw slightly forward so it’s in line with your top jaw. Next, close your jaw and press your teeth together gently.
The mouthpiece will be soft and pliable, so don't bite down on it several times. Each time you bite down, your teeth will leave an imprint in the mouthpiece. It's best to bite down just once.
3-2. Bite down on the mouthpiece for 20 seconds to shape it.
When the bite feels comfortable for you, bite down hard and wait at least 20 seconds for the material to mold around your teeth. Keep your jaw locked and avoid shifting your teeth around so you end up with an accurate shape.
If your mouth feels uncomfortable, try to adjust your bite so it feels better. If the mouthpiece isn’t soft anymore, boil it a second time so you can try again.
3-3. Press your finger and tongue against the mouthpiece as you bite down.
This will help you shape the mouthpiece. Use firm pressure to mold the mouthpiece around your teeth. Your finger can shape the outside of the mouthpiece, while your tongue will shape the inside.
Don't shift your teeth or release your bite as you do this. Biting down on the mouthpiece is most important for shaping it.
3-4. Rinse the mouthpiece in cold water for 20 seconds, then check the fit.
Put the mouthpiece under cold running water or dip it into an ice bath. After 20 seconds, the mouthpiece should hold its shape. Place it in your mouth to check the fit.
If it doesn’t fit, you can start the process over and try again.
Tips
If you’re having trouble getting a mouthpiece to work for you, visit your dentist to ask about a custom-fit mouthpiece.
Don’t boil your mouthpiece to clean it, as this can damage the mouthpiece and make it lose its shape.
Warnings
Never leave your stove unattended while it's in use.
Be careful when handling boiling water and when placing the warm mouthpiece in your mouth. You don't want to accidentally burn yourself.

How to Boil a Weave
|
1. Boiling the Weave
1-1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
Place a large saucepan on the cooktop and half fill it with water. Turn the cooktop element on high and wait for the pot to boil. Once the water is boiling, turn the element down to a medium heat so that the water simmers rather than bubbling vigorously.
Put a lid over the saucepan to speed up the boiling process.
Make sure that the pot is clean before pouring in the water.
1-2. Mix 1 tsp (5 mL) of olive oil or coconut oil into the water.
Gently pour 1 tsp (5 mL) of extra-virgin olive oil into the saucepan. If you decide to use coconut oil, you will need to scoop out 1 tsp (5 g) using a spoon. The oil will sit on top of the water so you will need to use a spoon to mix the oil into the water. Stir the mixture using circular motions. Continue mixing until the large oil bubbles on the surface of the water have broken up.
Avoid substituting olive oil for a processed vegetable cooking oil. Natural and unprocessed oils penetrate the hair cuticles, deeply moisturizing the hair. Natural oils will work well on all weave types (natural and synthetic) If your weave is synthetic, however, it won't benefit from boiling, and the heat could harm it. If it's very dirty or damaged, you may need to replace the synthetic weave.
Stir the water and oil gently so you don’t get burnt by any splashes.
1-3. Stir in 2 tbsp (30 grams) of a creamy leave-in conditioner.
Measure 2 tbsp (30 grams) of your favorite leave-in conditioner into the pot. A creamy conditioner will give the best results as it is more concentrated than liquid conditioners. Stir the leave-in conditioner into the water and oil using gentle circular motions. Keep stirring until the leave-in conditioner has dissolved into the mixture.
If you are using a small pot with less water, use a smaller amount of leave-in conditioner.
1-4. Place the weave into the water.
Gently drop your weave into the boiling water. Do this carefully so that the boiling water doesn’t splash and burn you. If you have multiple weaves that haven't been dyed or are the same color, place them in the same saucepan.
If the weave doesn’t submerge by itself, use a spoon to push it down into the water.
If you are boiling weaves that have been dyed, it is best to boil them one at a time to avoid the dye leaking onto the other weaves. As an alternative, you could place each weave in it's own pot on a separate burner. This would allow you to boil them all at the same time.
If your weave has been dyed and you want it to retain its color, you may want to reconsider boiling it, as this process will likely remove the color.
1-5. Leave the hair to boil for 10 minutes.
Make sure that the water is lightly boiling. If the water has stopped boiling, turn the heat up. Let the hair boil for 10 minutes before turning off the heat.
The high temperature of the water will soften your weave, making it softer to touch and silkier.
1-6. Remove the weave from the water using tongs.
Carefully grip the weave with tongs and pull it out from the water. Be careful not to splash yourself as the water will burn you. Place the weave onto a clean, dry towel.
If you have placed multiple weaves into the saucepan, remove them one at a time.
Don't use a light colored towel if you have boiled a dyed weave, as the color may drip onto your towel and stain it.
2. Drying the Weave
2-1. Blot your weave with a towel to remove excess water.
Gently press the towel against the weave, but don't rub the towel against it. Choose a microfiber towel to minimize damage and frizz.
You can also use a clean T-shirt in place of a towel. T-shirts are softer than towels, so they don't cause damage to hair.
Don't use a hair dryer on sopping wet hair.
2-2. Dry the weave using a blow-dryer for 3 minutes.
Lay the hair out straight on the towel. Turn the blow-dryer onto a medium heat and direct the heat over the weave. Hold the blow-dryer about 30 centimetres (12 in) away from the weave. Move the hair dryer up and down the hair. This will help to prevent heat damage from occurring. Dry the hair for about 3 minutes, it should still be slightly damp when you finish.
If you have boiled multiple weaves, dry them individually.
2-3. Comb 1 tsp (5 grams) of leave-in conditioner through the hair.
Measure approximately 1 tsp (5 grams) of your favorite leave-in conditioner into the palm of your hands. Rub your hands together and then smooth the condition over the whole weave so that it is evenly distributed. Comb the weave from the ends up to the roots, detangling as you work your way up the shaft. Comb as gently as possible to avoid damaging the weave.
A wide-tooth comb is a good option if your weave is tangled.
2-4. Hang the weave up to dry.
Hang the weave over a drying rack. Avoid using pegs, as these can create kinks in the weave. The drying time will vary depending on how thick your weave is. It will generally take at least 1 day. Leave the weave to dry completely before attaching it to the hair.
A clothes rack or clean dish rack works well for drying weaves.
You will notice the weave feeling much softer and less tangled.
2-5. Apply a hair serum if the weave is dry or frizzy.
Use a serum to add shine to your weave. Squeeze a few drops of your favorite serum into your hand. Rub your hands together and glide them over the surface of the weave.
Use a natural hair serum to avoid residues building up in your weave.
2-6. Curl your weave
It is likely that the hair will lose its curl when you boil and dry it. This is an easy fix, simply curl your weave as you normally would in order to restore the curls.
Make sure the hair is completely dry before you use any heat styling tools. Styling your weave while it is wet will damage the strands of hair.

"回答明细": "{\"回答\": \"1. Boiling the Weave\\n1-1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.\\nPlace a large saucepan on the cooktop and half fill it with water. Turn the cooktop element on high and wait for the pot to boil. Once the water is boiling, turn the element down to a medium heat so that the water simmers rather than bubbling vigorously.\\nPut a lid over the saucepan to speed up the boiling process.\\nMake sure that the pot is clean before pouring in the water.\\n1-2. Mix 1 tsp (5 mL) of olive oil or coconut oil into the water.\\nGently pour 1 tsp (5 mL) of extra-virgin olive oil into the saucepan. If you decide to use coconut oil, you will need to scoop out 1 tsp (5 g) using a spoon. The oil will sit on top of the water so you will need to use a spoon to mix the oil into the water. Stir the mixture using circular motions. Continue mixing until the large oil bubbles on the surface of the water have broken up.\\nAvoid substituting olive oil for a processed vegetable cooking oil. Natural and unprocessed oils penetrate the hair cuticles, deeply moisturizing the hair. Natural oils will work well on all weave types (natural and synthetic) If your weave is synthetic, however, it won't benefit from boiling, and the heat could harm it. If it's very dirty or damaged, you may need to replace the synthetic weave.\\nStir the water and oil gently so you don’t get burnt by any splashes.\\n1-3. Stir in 2 tbsp (30 grams) of a creamy leave-in conditioner.\\nMeasure 2 tbsp (30 grams) of your favorite leave-in conditioner into the pot. A creamy conditioner will give the best results as it is more concentrated than liquid conditioners. Stir the leave-in conditioner into the water and oil using gentle circular motions. Keep stirring until the leave-in conditioner has dissolved into the mixture.\\nIf you are using a small pot with less water, use a smaller amount of leave-in conditioner.\\n1-4. Place the weave into the water.\\nGently drop your weave into the boiling water. Do this carefully so that the boiling water doesn’t splash and burn you. If you have multiple weaves that haven't been dyed or are the same color, place them in the same saucepan.\\nIf the weave doesn’t submerge by itself, use a spoon to push it down into the water.\\nIf you are boiling weaves that have been dyed, it is best to boil them one at a time to avoid the dye leaking onto the other weaves. As an alternative, you could place each weave in it's own pot on a separate burner. This would allow you to boil them all at the same time.\\nIf your weave has been dyed and you want it to retain its color, you may want to reconsider boiling it, as this process will likely remove the color.\\n1-5. Leave the hair to boil for 10 minutes.\\nMake sure that the water is lightly boiling. If the water has stopped boiling, turn the heat up. Let the hair boil for 10 minutes before turning off the heat.\\nThe high temperature of the water will soften your weave, making it softer to touch and silkier.\\n1-6. Remove the weave from the water using tongs.\\nCarefully grip the weave with tongs and pull it out from the water. Be careful not to splash yourself as the water will burn you. Place the weave onto a clean, dry towel.\\nIf you have placed multiple weaves into the saucepan, remove them one at a time.\\nDon't use a light colored towel if you have boiled a dyed weave, as the color may drip onto your towel and stain it.\\n2. Drying the Weave\\n2-1. Blot your weave with a towel to remove excess water.\\nGently press the towel against the weave, but don't rub the towel against it. Choose a microfiber towel to minimize damage and frizz.\\nYou can also use a clean T-shirt in place of a towel. T-shirts are softer than towels, so they don't cause damage to hair.\\nDon't use a hair dryer on sopping wet hair.\\n2-2. Dry the weave using a blow-dryer for 3 minutes.\\nLay the hair out straight on the towel. Turn the blow-dryer onto a medium heat and direct the heat over the weave. Hold the blow-dryer about 30 centimetres (12 in) away from the weave. Move the hair dryer up and down the hair. This will help to prevent heat damage from occurring. Dry the hair for about 3 minutes, it should still be slightly damp when you finish.\\nIf you have boiled multiple weaves, dry them individually.\\n2-3.

How to Boil an Egg So That It Peels Easily
|
1. Giving the Eggs a Cold Start
1-1. Place your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan.
Try to use eggs that are at least 7 to 10 days old. Many people find that the fresher an egg is, the more difficult it is to peel.
1-2. Cover the eggs with 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of cold water.
How much water you end up using will depend on how big the saucepan is and how many eggs you are cooking. Whatever you use, make sure that the eggs are under 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water. If you don't use enough water, the eggs may not cook evenly.
1-3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
This will help the eggs cook slowly at first. They will continue to cook, even after you turn the heat off later on.
1-4. Turn the stove off, cover the saucepan with a lid, and wait 11 to 13 minutes.
Keep the saucepan on the burner during this time. The heat from the burner will continue "cooking" the eggs. If your burner doesn't stay hot after you turn it off (such as gas), reduce the heat to low, simmer for 1 minute, then turn it off.
If the eggs are small or medium-sized, cook them for 11 minutes.
If the eggs are large or extra large, cook them for 13 minutes.
1-5. Prepare an ice bath.
Fill a large bowl with cold water and lots of ice. When you put the eggs into this, the coldness will "shock" the eggs, and make the shell easier to peel off.
1-6. Carefully transfer the eggs to the ice bath and wait 5 to 15 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to lift the eggs out of the water and place them into the bowl. During this time, the eggs will cool down; cold eggs are easier to peel than hot eggs.
1-7. Pull the eggs out of the water and set them down someplace where they won't roll away.
Keep the bowl of water handy. You can dip the eggs into the water once you peel them to get rid of any broken shell bits.
1-8. Crack the shell first, but don't peel it.
Try to crack both ends of the shell first, as this is where the air pockets tend to be. To make the shell even easier to peel, roll the egg across the counter with your palm. This will help loosen the membrane from the whites.
1-9. Carefully peel the shell away from the egg.
From time to time, dip the egg into the cold water. This will help loosen the shell from the whites even more. It will also help rinse away any broken shell fragments that might be stuck the to whites.
1-10. Dry the eggs off with a paper towel.
At this point, you can use the eggs in your recipe, or you can store them in a sealed container in your fridge. If you do store them, be sure to eat them within 3 to 5 days.
1-11. Bon Appetit!
2. Giving the Eggs a Hot Start
2-1. Fill a medium-sized saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Don't add the eggs to the water yet; it needs to be boiling first.
2-2. Gently place the eggs into the water.
Avoid dropping them into the water, or you will risk cracking them. Instead, consider using a slotted spoon, a pair of tongs, or even a wire basket.
2-3. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 11 to 13 minutes.
If the eggs are smaller, cook them for 11 minutes. If the eggs are larger, cook them for 13 minutes.
2-4. Prepare an ice bath while the eggs are cooking.
Fill a bowl with cold water, and lots of ice. When you put the cooked eggs into the icy water, the coldness will "shock" the eggs, and make the shell easier to peel away.
2-5. Place the cooked eggs into the ice bath, and wait 5 to 15 minutes.
Once the time is up, use a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the saucepan and into the ice bath. During this time, the eggs will cool down; it is easier to peel cold eggs than hot eggs.
2-6. Take the eggs out of the ice bath and set them down someplace where they won't roll away.
Keep the ice bath nearby. You can dip the eggs into the water after you peel them to get rid of any broken shell bits.
2-7. Crack the egg, then roll it across a hard surface.
Tap both ends of the egg against a hard surface, then roll the egg across the surface with your palm. This will help loosen the membrane from the whites, and make the egg easier to peel.
2-8. Peel the shell away from the egg.
You may want to dip the egg into the cold water from time to time. This will loosen the shell from the whites even more, and help rinse away any broken shell pieces.
2-9. Dry the eggs off with a paper towel.
At this point, you can add the eggs to your recipe, or store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If you do store them, be sure to eat them within 3 to 5 days.
2-10. Finished.
Tips
Tap the larger end of the egg first, and start peeling from there. This end usually has an air pocket, and makes it easier to pierce the membrane. If you pierce the membrane, you'll be able to peel the shell off in larger pieces.[7]
X
Research source
You can also peel the eggs under cold, running water instead.[8]
X
Research source
If the shell is difficult to peel: crack the shell, but don't peel it, soak the egg in cold water for 5 minutes, then try peeling the shell. The water will get between the shell and whites, and make it easier to peel.[9]
X
Research source
Warnings
Be very careful when you are moving the eggs from the hot water to the cold water; you should never use your hands as the eggs are extremely hot.
If the uncooked egg floats in cold water, it probably went bad, so discard it.

How to Boil an Egg in an Electric Kettle
|
1. Soft-Boiling the Eggs
1-1. Place the eggs in the electric kettle.
Pop open the lid of the kettle, take the eggs out of the carton or container, and gently place them into the kettle so they don’t crack. Don’t fill the kettle more than halfway full with eggs or they may not cook evenly.
Be careful not to shake the kettle or allow the eggs to roll around to keep them from cracking.
1-2. Cover the eggs with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water.
Carefully hold the kettle beneath a faucet and pour cool water into it. Make sure you don’t shift the eggs around too much so they don’t crack. Fill the kettle until the water is 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the eggs.
Use cool water so you don’t overcook the eggs.
1-3. Turn on the kettle and allow it to come to a boil.
Make sure the kettle is plugged in and flip the switch to turn it on. Wait until the water comes to a boil and the kettle turns off on its own. If your kettle doesn’t turn off once it reaches a boil, then turn it off yourself as soon as the water starts bubbling.
1-4. Remove the eggs and place them into a bowl of cold water.
Fill a medium to large-sized bowl with cold water and place it near the kettle. Use a pair of tongs or a large spoon and take the eggs out of the kettle and gently place them into the bowl of cold water so they stop cooking.
It’s important that the water in the bowl is cold so the eggs don’t continue to cook after you remove them.
You can toss a couple of ice cubes in the bowl of water to cool the eggs even faster.
1-5. Peel and eat the soft-boiled eggs once they’re cool to the touch.
Start peeling a soft-boiled egg by tapping the top of it lightly with a spoon to crack it. Then, use your fingers to carefully lift the shell off of the egg. Continue lifting the shell from the surface of the egg until it’s completely removed.
Soft-boiled eggs can be enjoyed on their own with a pinch of salt and some fresh cracked pepper, or you can add them to a tasty dish like the top of some avocado toast or in a bowl of ramen noodles.
2. Hard-Boiling the Eggs
2-1. Place the eggs into the kettle and cover them with water.
Carefully set the eggs inside of the kettle, making sure you don’t drop them or shake the kettle so they don’t crack. Fill the kettle with cool water until the eggs are covered with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water.
Make sure you use cool water so you don’t start cooking the eggs!
Avoid filling the kettle more than halfway full with eggs so they cook evenly.
2-2. Turn on the kettle and let it come to a boil.
Plug in the kettle and press the button or switch that turns it on to start it up. Leave it undisturbed until it comes to a boil and turns off automatically. If your kettle doesn’t automatically turn off once the water reaches a boil, wait until the water is bubbling away and then turn it off.
2-3. Leave the eggs in the kettle for 15 minutes, then transfer them to cold water.
Set a timer for 15 minutes and allow the eggs to simply soak in the hot water and cook. Fill a bowl with cool water and place it near the kettle. Once the timer goes off, use a spoon or a pair of tongs to remove the eggs from the water and place them into the cool water.
The cool water will stop them from cooking further and will allow you to pick them up without burning your hands.
Set a timer on your stove or on your phone so you can hear it and the eggs won’t overcook.
2-4. Peel the eggs and eat them or store them in your refrigerator.
An easy way to peel stubborn hard-boiled eggs is to tap the bottom of the egg a few times on your sink or countertop to crack it, then use your fingers to start lifting the shell from the bottom. If bits of the shell are stuck on the egg, hold the egg under running water as you peel to loosen them. You can then eat the eggs, or place them in a container in your refrigerator for up to a week.
Hard-boiled eggs are great on their own with some salt and pepper, but you can also chop them up and toss them into a salad to add some extra protein!
Tips
Holding the egg under a running faucet as you peel it can make it easier to remove the shell.
Set a timer so you don’t overcook your eggs!
Warnings
Use a pair of tongs or a large spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water so you don’t burn yourself.

How to Bolt Down a Gun Safe
|
1. Planning Placement and Removing Flooring
1-1. Locate the anchor hole.
Most medium and large gun safes are made with an anchor hole in the bottom. Fireproof gun safes often place holes at the center; traditional gun safes tend to put anchor holes in the corners.
A lag screw or cement bolt passes through the hole in the gun safe to sturdily connect it to cement underneath.
Smaller gun safes may have anchor holes on the back or sides of the gun safe. Some may not have anchor holes at all.
If your gun safe doesn’t have an anchor hole, you’ll have to improvise an anchor by doing things like chaining down your gun safe or welding it to a metal support.
1-2. Choose a cement anchoring location for optimal security.
Exposed cement floor is your best option. If there’s carpet or flooring in the way of the cement, this can be removed later. Out of sight locations, like the corners of a basement, furnace room, or cold storage, will ensure your gun safe doesn’t get in the way or draw attention.
You can also bolt your gun safe to a sturdy part of your home, like a wooden support in the wall or floor. However, if the gun safe is forcibly torn free, this could cause expensive damage to your home.
Keep the size and weight of the gun safe in mind. Some might be too large or heavy to maneuver through stairs, hallways, and so on.
1-3. Remove carpeting or flooring if necessary.
Outline the anchor hole and move the gun safe off to the side so you have access to the anchor hole mark. Then, remove the flooring:
If there’s carpeting, use a utility knife to remove a patch roughly the size of your palm around the mark.
If there’s wooden overlay, laminate, or some other material, use a saw, claw hammer, pry bar, and/or drill to remove a palm-sized section flooring around the mark.
If your gun safe will go somewhere with bare cement, you won’t have to worry about removing flooring and can instead move on to drilling the anchor hole.
1-4. Outline the anchor hole on the floor.
Move the safe back into the anchoring location. Use a marker or pencil to outline the anchor hole on the floor. Take care when marking the anchoring hole position on the floor. Misaligned holes could throw off the placement of the gun safe.
Medium to large sized gun safes are usually incredibly heavy. Use tools like dollies, hand trucks, and sliders to make things easier on yourself. Asking some friends for help is better than straining a muscle.
2. Anchoring a Gun Safe
2-1. Use a hammer drill
A regular drill might struggle with cement, but a hammer drill should bore through with little problem. Set the drill depth between 3 inches (7.6 cm) and 4 inches (10 cm), place the bit at the anchor hole mark, and press the trigger to drill the hole.
Some drills may have an adjustable depth setting on the body of the drill. Otherwise, use tape to mark the depth on the bit.
Cement dust and fragments can be very dangerous. Always wear safety goggles, a respirator, and work gloves when drilling cement.
Start drilling with slow speed and moderate pressure. As the hole deepens, slowly increase pressure and speed until you're using firm pressure and moderate speed.
Cement dust and broken pieces of masonry can jam up your anchor hole. Pull your drill out of the hole periodically to clear out debris.
2-2. Clean remaining dust and debris from the hole.
The easiest way to do this is with compressed air. Hold the nozzle of the air up to the hole at an angle and spray it to clean out dust and small debris. After that, thoroughly vacuum the area so dust and debris don’t track around your home.
Air compressors work just as well as canned air. If you’re in a pinch, you can always try to blow away debris with your breath.
Blowing away dust usually kicks it up into a cloud in the air. Make sure you’re wearing safety goggles and a breathing mask when attempting this.
2-3. Return the gun safe to the anchoring location.
Maneuver the gun safe back into the anchoring position. The anchor hole in the bottom of the gun safe should be lined up precisely with the hole you drilled in the cement.
2-4. Level the gun safe, if necessary.
If your gun safe is bolted down while tilted, it’ll remain that way. Use a carpenter’s level to check levelness. If you find that your gun safe isn’t level, use thin pieces of wood, often called shims, to even things out.
Because gun safes are so heavy, leveling is easiest with two people. Have one person use a pry bar or lever to lift the gun safe a little bit, then the other can slide shims into place underneath.
2-5. Sink the lag bolt to anchor the gun safe.
Most anchoring kits contain a lag screw or cement bolt, a hex nut, a washer, and a cement anchor. Push the bolt through the gun safe anchor hole and into the hole in the cement. Slide the washer onto the bolt, then use pliers or a socket wrench to fasten the hex nut to the threading at the top of the bolt.
Make sure the bolt is as deep in the cement as possible before fastening the hex nut. You may need to lightly tap the bolt with a hammer before it’s fully inserted.
In some cases, the lag screw or cement bolt may already be encased in the cement anchor. If not, simply push the screw/bolt into the anchor until the ends are even and the threading emerges from the opposite side.
If you've lost your safe's anchoring kit, these parts can be bought separately at your local hardware store or home center.
3. Improvising an Anchor
3-1. Weld
Position your gun safe alongside an accessible metal support in your home, then weld the two together. Follow the seam created by your gun safe and the support with your torch. Aim to seal the gun safe to the support wherever the two touch.
Once your gun safe is welded to the support, it’ll be very difficult to remove. Only anchor a gun safe in this fashion if you’re certain you won’t be moving it.
3-2. Bolt your gun safe to a stud in a wall.
Use a stud finder to locate studs in your walls. Mark where you’ll be anchoring the gun safe on the studs with a pencil. Use a normal drill and carpentry bit to drill a screw hole at the marks. After that, line up the gun safe with the drilled anchor holes, and install the anchor as you would normally.
Wall anchored gun safes sometimes have multiple wall anchoring holes. This allows you to anchor your gun safe even better by positioning it in a corner and attaching it to two walls.
3-3. Chain your gun safe to furniture.
This can be a great option if you’re renting a home and your landlord doesn’t want you to drill. In this case, purchase a heavy chain and lock. Weave the chain around the gun safe and lock it to a heavy piece of furniture, like a bed or table.
You can also chain your gun safe to other kinds of heavy objects, like cinder blocks, weights, exercise equipment, and so on.
Make sure you wrap your gun safe thoroughly in the chain. If the chain is loose or can be slipped off, it probably won’t deter a thief.
3-4. Weigh down your gun safe with cement.
You can put a bag of unmixed cement straight inside large gun safes to make them heavier and harder to move. Some anchor improvisers use forms and mixed cement to create a cement shell on all sides of the gun safe except the one with a door.
If you plan on pouring a cement shell or using a poured cement weight for your gun safe, take care that the cement doesn’t interfere with the hinges or lock mechanism.
Even a little cement will add a considerable amount of weight to your gun safe. Add cement to the gun safe somewhere close to where it will be kept. Moving it after the cement is added will be difficult.
Tips
Most gun safes that have anchor holes also come with an anchoring/bolting down kit. Before buying a new kit, check to see if your gun safe came with one.
Anchoring kits can be bought at most hardware stores and home centers. So long as you know the size of the gun safe anchoring hole, a store associate should be able to help you find a suitable kit.
Warnings
Using tools improperly may result in personal harm or property damage. Always use tools with caution and follow their directions carefully.
Heavier isn’t always better when it comes to gun safes. Sure, a heavy gun safe will be difficult for a thief to remove from your home, but gun safes that are too heavy can do damage to your flooring.

Then, remove the flooring:\\nIf there’s carpeting, use a utility knife to remove a patch roughly the size of your palm around the mark.\\nIf there’s wooden overlay, laminate, or some other material, use a saw, claw hammer, pry bar, and/or drill to remove a palm-sized section flooring around the mark.\\nIf your gun safe will go somewhere with bare cement, you won’t have to worry about removing flooring and can instead move on to drilling the anchor hole.\\n1-4. Outline the anchor hole on the floor.\\nMove the safe back into the anchoring location. Use a marker or pencil to outline the anchor hole on the floor. Take care when marking the anchoring hole position on the floor. Misaligned holes could throw off the placement of the gun safe.\\nMedium to large sized gun safes are usually incredibly heavy. Use tools like dollies, hand trucks, and sliders to make things easier on yourself. Asking some friends for help is better than straining a muscle.\\n2. Anchoring a Gun Safe\\n2-1. Use a hammer drill\\nA regular drill might struggle with cement, but a hammer drill should bore through with little problem. Set the drill depth between 3 inches (7.6 cm) and 4 inches (10 cm), place the bit at the anchor hole mark, and press the trigger to drill the hole.\\nSome drills may have an adjustable depth setting on the body of the drill. Otherwise, use tape to mark the depth on the bit.\\nCement dust and fragments can be very dangerous. Always wear safety goggles, a respirator, and work gloves when drilling cement.\\nStart drilling with slow speed and moderate pressure. As the hole deepens, slowly increase pressure and speed until you're using firm pressure and moderate speed.\\nCement dust and broken pieces of masonry can jam up your anchor hole. Pull your drill out of the hole periodically to clear out debris.\\n2-2. Clean remaining dust and debris from the hole.\\nThe easiest way to do this is with compressed air. Hold the nozzle of the air up to the hole at an angle and spray it to clean out dust and small debris. After that, thoroughly vacuum the area so dust and debris don’t track around your home.\\nAir compressors work just as well as canned air. If you’re in a pinch, you can always try to blow away debris with your breath.\\nBlowing away dust usually kicks it up into a cloud in the air. Make sure you’re wearing safety goggles and a breathing mask when attempting this.\\n2-3. Return the gun safe to the anchoring location.\\nManeuver the gun safe back into the anchoring position. The anchor hole in the bottom of the gun safe should be lined up precisely with the hole you drilled in the cement.\\n2-4. Level the gun safe, if necessary.\\nIf your gun safe is bolted down while tilted, it’ll remain that way. Use a carpenter’s level to check levelness. If you find that your gun safe isn’t level, use thin pieces of wood, often called shims, to even things out.\\nBecause gun safes are so heavy, leveling is easiest with two people. Have one person use a pry bar or lever to lift the gun safe a little bit, then the other can slide shims into place underneath.\\n2-5. Sink the lag bolt to anchor the gun safe.\\nMost anchoring kits contain a lag screw or cement bolt, a hex nut, a washer, and a cement anchor. Push the bolt through the gun safe anchor hole and into the hole in the cement. Slide the washer onto the bolt, then use pliers or a socket wrench to fasten the hex nut to the threading at the top of the bolt.\\nMake sure the bolt is as deep in the cement as possible before fastening the hex nut. You may need to lightly tap the bolt with a hammer before it’s fully inserted.\\nIn some cases, the lag screw or cement bolt may already be encased in the cement anchor. If not, simply push the screw/bolt into the anchor until the ends are even and the threading emerges from the opposite side.\\nIf you've lost your safe's anchoring kit, these parts can be bought separately at your local hardware store or home center.\\n3. Improvising an Anchor\\n3-1. Weld\\nPosition your gun safe alongside an accessible metal support in your home, then weld the two together. Follow the seam created by your gun safe and the support with your torch. Aim to seal the gun safe to the support wherever the two touch.\\nOnce your gun safe is welded to the support, it’ll be very difficult to remove. Only anchor a gun safe in this fashion if you’re certain you won’t be moving it.\\n3-2. Bolt your gun safe to a stud in a wall.\\nUse a stud finder to locate studs in your walls. Mark where you’ll be anchoring the gun safe on the studs with a pencil. Use a normal drill and carpentry bit to drill a screw hole at the marks. After that, line up the gun safe with the drilled anchor holes, and install the anchor as you would normally.\\nWall anchored gun safes sometimes have multiple wall anchoring holes. This allows you to anchor your gun safe even better by positioning it in a corner and attaching it to two walls.\\n3-3. Chain your gun safe to furniture.\\nThis can be a great option if you’re renting a home and your landlord doesn’t want you to drill. In this case, purchase a heavy chain and lock. Weave the chain around the gun safe and lock it to a heavy piece of furniture, like a bed or table.\\nYou can also chain your gun safe to other kinds of heavy objects, like cinder blocks, weights, exercise equipment, and so on.\\nMake sure you wrap your gun safe thoroughly in the chain. If the chain is loose or can be slipped off, it probably won’t deter a thief.\\n3-4. Weigh down your gun safe with cement.\\nYou can put a bag of unmixed cement straight inside large gun safes to make them heavier and harder to move. Some anchor improvisers use forms and mixed cement to create a cement shell on all sides of the gun safe except the one with a door.\\nIf you plan on pouring a cement shell or using a poured cement weight for your gun safe, take care that the cement doesn’t interfere with the hinges or lock mechanism.\\nEven a little cement will add a considerable amount of weight to your gun safe. Add cement to the gun safe somewhere close to where it will be kept. Moving it after the cement is added will be difficult.\\nTips\\nMost gun safes that have anchor holes also come with an anchoring/bolting down kit. Before buying a new kit, check to see if your gun safe came with one.\\nAnchoring kits can be bought at most hardware stores and home centers. So long as you know the size of the gun safe anchoring hole, a store associate should be able to help you find a suitable kit.\\nWarnings\\nUsing tools improperly may result in personal harm or property damage. Always use tools with caution and follow their directions carefully.\\nHeavier isn’t always better when it comes to gun safes. Sure, a heavy gun safe will be difficult for a thief to remove from your home, but gun safes that are too heavy can do damage to your flooring.\\n\", \"简要回答\": \"Given enough time, even the best gun safe can be cracked. Beyond simply preventing thieves from removing your gun safe, anchoring will also make your gun safe more resistant to prying, cutting, and hammering.

How to Bolt Into Concrete
|
1. Purchasing the Right Equipment
1-1. Get a hammer drill.
Buy or rent a hammer drill at a hardware store or online. A hammer drill is specially designed to drill into harder surfaces like stone and concrete. Hammer drills have a rotating and pounding motion, which makes it easier to drill into masonry work like concrete.
Attempting to penetrate concrete with a regular drill may damage it, unless you go very slowly and use a carbide-tipped masonry bit on a soft stone, like limestone.
1-2. Purchase wedge anchors.
You can buy wedge anchors online or at a hardware store. Other anchors can work with concrete and brick but wedge anchors are a good all-around anchor that you can use on light or heavy materials. Purchase anchors that penetrate into the concrete at least one inch (2.54 cm).
Look on the box to find the diameter of your wedge anchors so that you can get a drill bit that's the same size.
Other anchors include sleeve anchors, strike anchors, hammer drive anchors, drop-in anchors, and machine screw anchors.
1-3. Buy a titanium or carbide-tipped masonry drill bit.
A titanium or carbide-tipped drill bit will penetrate through the hard concrete. You can purchase a carbide-tipped drill bit online or at a hardware store. Choose a bit that is a slightly smaller diameter than the anchors that you plan on using.
2. Drilling into the Concrete
2-1. Wrap a piece of tape .5 inches (1.27 cm) from the tip of the drill bit.
Use a tape measure or ruler to measure from the tip of the drill bit. Wrap a piece of tape around the bit at this measurement. This will help you know how deep you are drilling.
2-2. Wear the proper safety gear.
Hammer drills are loud and drilling into concrete will send concrete dust and debris into the air. To stay safe, wear a pair of protective glasses, a face mask, gloves, and long pants. You should also insert earplugs.
2-3. Drill into the concrete.
Put your drill into hammer mode by flipping the switch on the side of the tool. Hold the hammer drill perpendicular to the concrete and press the bit against the concrete. Once it's in the correct position, pull the trigger while applying pressure on the back of the drill. Pulse your finger on the trigger at 5-second intervals until you've drilled up to the tape that you wrapped around the bit.
Read the instructions if you can't figure out how to put your hammer drill into hammer mode.
2-4. Clean the dust out of the hole.
Use a compressed air can or a vacuum cleaner to work out debris and dust in the hole. Fasteners will grip better to clean holes, and there will be a lot of concrete dust after you've drilled the hole.
You can also move a wire brush in and out of the hole to remove any leftover debris.
Use a shop-vac when lifting concrete dust, not a household vacuum cleaner.
3. Attaching a Fixture with Wedge Anchors
3-1. Place the fixture over the concrete and line up the holes.
Line up your fixture or whatever you want to attach to the concrete. Line up the hole that you drilled into the concrete with the hole in the fixture. The hole in your fixture must be the same diameter of the anchor that you're bolting into the concrete.
3-2. Slide a washer and nut over the threaded end of the anchor.
The nut and washer will help protect the anchor and prevent it from getting stripped by being hammered in. Put the nut first, then the washer so that the nut is over the washer but under the pin on the tip of the anchor.
Apply Loctite to the bolt to keep it from moving.
Alternatively, you could use a locking washer.
3-3. Hammer the anchor into the hole in the concrete.
Drop the anchor into the hole in your fixture and hammer the pin on the top of the anchor to drive it into the concrete hole you drilled earlier. It should be a fairly tight fit. Continue to hammer the anchor down until the nut and washer are tight against the fixture.
3-4. Tighten the nut with a ratchet.
Turn the nut clockwise with your hands to tighten it, then use a ratchet to tighten it until it's firmly attached to your fixture. As you tighten the nut, the anchor should grip to the concrete, holding your fixture in place.

How to Bolt a Safe to the Floor
|
1. Placing and Positioning Your Safe
1-1. Pick a secure and accessible spot for your safe.
When deciding where your safe should go, pick a location where a thief would be unlikely to find it, but make sure that spot is also readily accessible. For example, thieves often rummage through bedrooms in a house, so your bedroom might not be the right spot. However, you might not want to put it in a cramped crawlspace, either– your safe should be hidden from view, but easy for you to access when you need to.
Take climate into consideration when choosing a spot for your safe. For example, if you live in an area that floods, it's probably not a good idea to bolt your safe to the floor in a basement. On the other hand, if you live in an area with tornadoes, the basement might be a great place to put it.
1-2. Determine if your chosen location is sturdy and large enough for your safe.
Measure the dimensions of your safe in order to figure out exactly how much space you need. If you have a very heavy safe, also consider how much weight your floor can hold and how you will move it into position.
For example, an upstairs floor that is made of wood will not hold as much weight as a ground floor or basement concrete floor.
1-3. Select a spot with concrete flooring, if possible.
When picking your safe location, consider what kind of flooring you'd be drilling into. In general, it's more secure if you bolt your safe into a concrete floor rather than a wood floor. If you have a choice between these two types of flooring, pick the location with a concrete floor.
1-4. Open the door of the safe and locate the mounting holes.
Most fireproof safes have their mounting holes in the middle of the safe's floor. Other safes will have mounting holes in the bottom corners. Eventually, you'll drill through these openings and insert bolts to secure the safe to the floor.
The holes may be open or may be covered with plastic that is easily broken or popped off when bolting the safe down.
1-5. Move the safe into its final position.
Lift the safe with your arms if it's light, or with a hand truck or other tool if it is heavy. Adjust the position until you are happy with how it looks where it is and you are sure that the safe door has clearance to open and close freely.
Even if your safe is heavy and you are hesitant to move it around multiple times, take the time to do this. It's better to make sure that safe will work perfectly in the spot you have chosen than to drill holes and find out that the spacing is wrong or the spot won't work.
2. Drilling the Anchor Holes
2-1. Mark the hole locations on the floor.
If you can’t drill the holes through the safe itself because the drill won't fit inside the safe, you should poke a pencil through the safe’s bolt holes while it’s sitting in its planned final position. Then you can move the safe out of the way to drill the marked holes.
Move the pen or pencil in a circle around the sides of the entire hole. Then make sure that the mark has been made on the floor by looking through the hole. It's important to make precise marks to ensure that the holes you drill are all in the right spots.
2-2. Move the safe if there isn't room inside to drill through the holes.
If your safe is too small to get the drill into comfortably, move it out of the way. It can be awkward to get a drill in a safe and the process would make quite a mess in your safe. Instead, just set the safe aside while you drill into the holes you've marked.
By setting the safe aside you will have more room to make sure that your holes are drilled completely perpendicular to the ground. This will help ensure that the bolts you use are secure in the holes.
2-3. Remove any flooring elements that are in your way.
If you have carpet on the floor where you will be placing the safe, use a knife to cut a circle out of the carpet that is large enough to accommodate the bolt and the mounting hole. You may even consider cutting away all carpet under the safe, as this can prevent you from getting the safe bolted really, really tightly to the floor.
Hard floorings, such as tile or laminate, are usually fine to drill through with a masonry or wood drill bit and they will allow for the safe to be bolted down very securely.
If you try to drill right through your carpet, the bit can begin to snag the carpet and unravel it instead of cutting cleanly through it.
2-4. Drill your mounting holes into the floor.
Use the largest diameter drill bit that will fit through the mounting holes on the safe if you are bolting to concrete, but remember that you also need to purchase bolts that same diameter. If you are using toggle bolts, which are best for attaching the safe to a wood floor, you will need to drill a bigger hole than the diameter of the bolt to get the toggles through the flooring. In many cases, the toggle bolt packaging will tell you how big the hole needs to be.
Use a type of drill bit that is appropriate for your specific type of flooring. For concrete floors and floors covered in tile, you will need a masonry drill bit. For wood or laminate floors you will need a wood drill bit.
Ensure that your drill bit is the proper length. Most wood floors are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, so your drill bit needs to be at least that long. For concrete floors, the bolts you use will determine how deep the hole needs to be, and thus hold long the drill bit needs to be. Look at the packaging on your bolts to figure out how deep the holes need to be.
If you are unsure of what type and size of drill bit to use, go to your hardware store and ask a sales associate for the right one.
2-5. Vacuum up any dust that was created by the drill.
In addition to cleaning up any dust and debris that is on your floor or on the inside of your safe, run the vacuum over the hole to catch any dust that is inside of it. It's important to remove this dust, especially if the hole is in concrete, because if it remains in the hole it will make the bolt attachment less secure.
You can also use a can of compressed air to blow any concrete dust out of the hole and then vacuum up what comes out.
3. Inserting the Bolts
3-1. Reposition your safe over the mounting holes you've drilled.
Line the safe up so that the holes inside of it sit directly over the holes in the floor. Take your time while doing this. The more exact you are about the position of the safe, the easier it will be to insert all of the bolts quickly and securely.
It's important that all of the holes you drilled are lined up with the holes in the safe. If a few of them appear lined up and a few don't, keep adjusting. This will prevent you from having to undo bolts you've already inserted because the safe needs to be readjusted.
3-2. Insert the bolts through the base of the safe.
Slide each bolt in one at a time. Once you put the bolt in the hole, you may need to hammer it 2 or 3 times in order to get it to sit properly all the way in the hole.
When inserting a masonry bolt, it's a good idea to screw the nut onto the top of the threads before hammering the bolt into place. This will preserve the threads on the top of the bolt, making sure the nut can be screwed on and off easily.
If you are using a toggle bolt, which has a nut with wings on it, the toggle may not fit through the hole. You may need to insert the bolt through the hole and then tilt the safe so that you can attach the toggle to the bolt on the underside of the safe. If the toggle fits through the hole in the safe, you will fold the wings in so that they fit through the hole. Once through the hole, they will expand automatically and hold the bolt in place.
3-3. Tighten the nut or the screw head on top of the bolt.
Place a washer and a nut on the top of each masonry bolt, if you are using them. Then use a pair of pliers or a wrench to tighten down the bolt. If you are using a toggle bolt, use a screwdriver to turn the bolt until it gets tight, which means that the toggle it gripping into the underside of your wood floor. With both types of bolts, keep turning the nut until it is tight and unable to turn any further.
On a masonry bolt, tightening the nut down will expand the sleeve on the bottom of the bolt. This will wedge the bolt to the walls of the concrete around it.
3-4. Try to move the safe to ensure that it has been bolted successfully.
Once the bolts are tightened, test the safe by pushing on it in a variety of directions. If it is securely bolted, it should not move at all.
If the safe does move, one or several of your bolts may not be secure. Wiggle the bolt heads in the safe and see if any of them move freely. If one does, you need to try to secure it once again.
Tips
In some cases, the instructions will suggest a specific additional kit to purchase for bolting down the safe effectively.[13]

Research source
Some safes come with bolts that are designed to be used for attaching the safe to the floor. Use these bolts if they work with your specific type of flooring.
Read the owner's manual or instruction book that came with your safe. There may be instructions specific to how the model and brand that you own should be bolted down. These instructions will typically include what type of anchors to use, how to space the anchors, and where the safe should be located.

Pick a secure and accessible spot for your safe.\\nWhen deciding where your safe should go, pick a location where a thief would be unlikely to find it, but make sure that spot is also readily accessible. For example, thieves often rummage through bedrooms in a house, so your bedroom might not be the right spot. However, you might not want to put it in a cramped crawlspace, either– your safe should be hidden from view, but easy for you to access when you need to. \\nTake climate into consideration when choosing a spot for your safe. For example, if you live in an area that floods, it's probably not a good idea to bolt your safe to the floor in a basement. On the other hand, if you live in an area with tornadoes, the basement might be a great place to put it.\\n1-2. Determine if your chosen location is sturdy and large enough for your safe.\\nMeasure the dimensions of your safe in order to figure out exactly how much space you need. If you have a very heavy safe, also consider how much weight your floor can hold and how you will move it into position.\\nFor example, an upstairs floor that is made of wood will not hold as much weight as a ground floor or basement concrete floor.\\n1-3. Select a spot with concrete flooring, if possible.\\nWhen picking your safe location, consider what kind of flooring you'd be drilling into. In general, it's more secure if you bolt your safe into a concrete floor rather than a wood floor. If you have a choice between these two types of flooring, pick the location with a concrete floor.\\n1-4. Open the door of the safe and locate the mounting holes.\\nMost fireproof safes have their mounting holes in the middle of the safe's floor.

Screws or Bolts? Which Ones to Use and How to Tell Them Apart
|
1. Screw vs. Bolt Overview
Bolts hold objects together with a nut, but screws work on their own.
When you insert a bolt through an object, you screw a nut onto the threaded end to apply pressure and secure it in place. When you use a screw, the tension on its threads pulls the objects closer to hold them together securely.
Screws fit tightly into holes with pre-cut threads in the sides while bolts will not.
Many bolts also use a lock washer between the nut and the material to dig into the material for an even more secure fit.
2. Differences between Bolts & Screws
2-1. Uses
Screws and bolts are both used to fasten objects together, but bolts are for more heavy-duty projects. While bolts are the better choice for construction, building, or anchoring items, screws are best for home repairs, hanging objects, and DIY builds.
2-2. Materials
Screws work best in materials like plywood, sheet metal, drywall, pressboard, and deck planks. Bolts can withstand more weight, so they’re best for fastening heavy pieces of concrete, metal, wooden beams, or studs.
2-3. Strength
When you tighten a nut and bolt, the force is evenly distributed across the fastener and the material so it’s able to withstand a heavier load. Screws are better for light or moderate loads since they only grip onto the material with their threads.
Bolts and screws come in multiple sizes with varying strengths. Use a screw or bolt that’s about 2.5 times as long as the thickness of the material you’re fastening.
2-4. Cost
Bolts and screws are similar in cost, but they vary depending on the size, material, and type you’re using. Plus, bolts need additional hardware to stay secure, so the extra costs of nuts and washers can add up and make them more expensive.
2-5. Shape
Bolts have a flat bottom while most screws taper to a point. Most screws are “self-tapping,” meaning they have a pointed end so it can dig into the material even if it doesn’t have a hole already. A bolt typically has a straight, untapered shaft that makes it easier to screw a nut on later.
Most screws also have threading up the entire shaft while bolts have smooth and threaded sections.
Some screws, such as machine screws made for metal or electronic components, may have untapered ends.
2-6. Types
Bolts and screws both come in a wide variety of styles depending on what type of material you’re using them for. Wood screws, sheet metal screws, machine screws, and socket screws are some of the most common kinds used. Bolts also have many styles based on how you use them, such as anchor bolts for concrete, eye bolts for looping rope through, or U-bolts for attaching a pipe to another material.
Screw heads come in different shapes. Flat or “countersink” heads sit flush with the material and work great for hiding wood joints. Round or raised screw heads are great for screwing metal pieces together.
2-7. Required tools
If you want to tighten or loosen a screw, a screwdriver is the perfect tool to use. For a bolt, a wrench works best for tightening or loosening the hex-shaped nuts.
Some screws have unique slot shapes that require a special screwdriver. Screws with a single slot require a flathead screwdriver, ones with X-shaped slots need a Philips-head driver, and a star-shaped hole needs a Torx wrench.
Some screws have hex-shaped heads, but they’ll still have a slot carved into the top for a screwdriver as well.
3. Can you use bolts and screws interchangeably?
Some screws work in place of a bolt, but not all bolts work as screws.
If the screw is the same size as the bolt you use, is made for the materials you’re fastening together, and has an untapered end, you’re able to put on a nut and washer to make it a bolt. However, if you try to use a bolt instead of a screw, it won’t stay tight since the threadings are too shallow to get a firm grip.
With the added nut and washer, the pressure will distribute evenly so your screw will be just as strong as a bolt.
Screws with tapered ends and wide gaps between the threads will not work as bolts since you can’t attach nuts to them.
Bolts also stick out and are exposed, so you may want to use screws if you want a more aesthetically-pleasing build.
Tips
If you’re using screws to hang something on your wall without attaching it to a stud, use a wall anchor. Just be sure to check the weight limit of the anchor compared to the weight of the item.
Even though many screws are self-tapping, pre-drilling holes helps ensure your wall or screw doesn’t get damaged.
If you’re replacing an old screw or bolt, either measure the old one or take it with you to the store so you get the correct size.

Most screws are “self-tapping,” meaning they have a pointed end so it can dig into the material even if it doesn’t have a hole already.

How to Bond With Your Boyfriend Through Sports
|
1. Spending Quality Time Together
1-1. Ask genuine questions about your boyfriend's interest in sports.
People feel close to people who convey interest in them. Try asking your boyfriend genuine questions about sports and his interest in them. This can help you get to know about his passions more, increasing your bond.
If it's a new relationship, starting with the basics is fine. You can ask things like, "What kind of sports do you like?" and "What's your favorite team?" As you go closer, however, ask open ended questions that allow you to get to know your boyfriend as a person.
Try something like, "What is it about sports you like?" and "When did you first develop an interest in sports?" Ask your boyfriend things like, "Do you find sports inspirational? Are there any players you find admirable?"
1-2. Find a sports related hobby you can do together.
Studies show having a shared hobby can strengthen a romantic relationship. Shared experiences can help keep a relationship fresh and interesting over time. If your boyfriend is a sports fanatic, playing a sport with him can be a great way for the two of you to bond.
Aim for a sport you can both play with some success, if possible. If you figure skated in high school, and your boyfriend plays hockey, you could go skating together and occasionally have lighthearted hockey competitions.
Try to incorporate sports into your date nights regularly. You could, for example, make a point of shooting hoops together every Tuesday night when your boyfriend comes to spend the night.
If you don't like playing sports, find a hobby that involves sports. You could, for example, agree to play a sports related video game with your boyfriend. You could also promise to watch the games him, or play sports trivia at a local bar.
1-3. Learn a little about sports if you do not know a lot.
If you're not also into professional sports, it can be confusing to get acquainted with the world. If you want to share your boyfriend's interest, it may be a good idea to try to learn a bit about sports yourself.
Watch ESPN regularly and watch a few matches of your boyfriend's favorite sport. Try to figure out the rules when watching. You can also look up the rules online if you're confused.
Read the history of your boyfriend's favorite sport online. You could also learn a bit about his favorite players and his favorite team.
If it doesn't bother your boyfriend, try asking about the rules while watching sports with him. However, be careful. If your boyfriend is invested in the game, he may get annoyed by your questions.
1-4. Get to know your boyfriend's teammates and sports buddies.
Research indicates the more you bond with your partner's friends, the stronger your relationship will be. If your boyfriend is on a sports team, his teammates may be his close friends. Try to get to know his teammates to strengthen your relationship. If your boyfriend doesn't play sports, try getting to know the guys he tends to watch games with.
When you're invited to hang out with the team or his sports buddies, don't just stay by your boyfriend's side all night. Chat up some of his teammates. Allow yourself to form somewhat independent friendships with them.
Be polite to his teammates and sports friends. Ask them questions that allow you to get to know them, such as where they're from, where they went to school, what their families are like, and so on.
2. Enhancing Your Bond
2-1. Incorporate touch into sport related activities.
Touch is vital to fostering feelings of intimacy in a relationship. You should touch your partner frequently during sports related activities. This can make such activities feel more intimate, deepening your bond.
Cuddle with your boyfriend when watching sports on TV. Place your hand on his knee. Hold his hand. Lean against him.
If you're playing sports together, take opportunities to touch him. Playfully rub his shoulder when playing basketball. Lightly wrestle with him during a game of football.
2-2. Laugh together while watching or playing sports.
Humor is one of the best means to bond with a person. People who laugh together frequently tend to feel closer to one another. You need to keep some levity in a relationship to keep things fun and happy.
Try teasing your boyfriend lightly and in good spirits. You can give him a hard time when he's getting frustrated that his team is losing. You can also tease him lightly if he misses a shot while the two of you are playing basketball.
If your boyfriend doesn't take well to teasing, try making observational jokes about the game. Mock the announcer or the other team's outfits. If you two are playing sports together, try making a few self-depreciating jokes at your own expense.
2-3. Flirt with your boyfriend through sports.
Flirtation is another means to keep a love bond strong. As couples grow more comfortable with one another, they may flirt less often. When playing or watching sports, find ways to work in occasional flirtation.
Give your boyfriend a coy compliment about his body when he's playing sports.
Touch your boyfriend flirtatiously when you're watching sports together.
2-4. Turn off electronics during games.
Electronics can be a huge distraction when it comes to bonding. If your boyfriend is watching a game with you, he wants you to share in his interests. It's a bad idea to be on your phone or computer. You may miss a vital portion of the game. Be polite and put your phone and laptop away when watching sports with your boyfriend.
3. Avoiding Pitfalls
3-1. Accept your boyfriend may need some alone time.
While it's great to share interests and experiences, you can't hog all your boyfriend's time. He sometimes may want to watch sports alone. He may want to hang out with just his teammates after a game. It's important to allow for space in a relationship. If your boyfriend wants alone time to explore his interest in sports, let him have it.
Ask your boyfriend if it's okay that you tag along. Tell him it's fine if he wants to go to a sporting event with a friend instead of you.
Keep communication open. Tell your boyfriend it's okay to let you know at any time if he needs some space.
3-2. Do not force yourself to like something you dislike.
You don't have to become a sports fanatic to bond with your boyfriend through sports. If sports are not something that are personally interesting to you, do not commit too much. Ask your boyfriend about his team, and join him to watch the big game, but don't force yourself to remember the names of every player if sports are not something that interest you.
3-3. Respect your differences.
You may never learn to love sports like your boyfriend. That's okay. Respecting one another's differences is important in a romantic relationship.
Focus on the positive aspects of your differences. Why were you attracted to your boyfriend to begin with? Maybe you liked him because of his ability to feel excitement. His enthusiasm about sports may be a manifestation of that quality.
Respect that this is a passion that your boyfriend has, even if you don't share it. Remind yourself there are interests you have that may seem absurd to him.
