If the instructions are to cook on the stovetop at moderate heat, what temperature does that translate to in the oven?

If the recipe specified a stovetop temperature, I doubt TdeV would have asked the question.

 

It might help to know what particular stovetop recipe is being converted for the oven, though. Is it a thick liquid? Something you bring to a boil first? A saute?

High heat  200C +

Moderate  160C > 180C

Low <140C

 

Source: My opinion (and I am a know all so I am pretty sure it may be right -my better half says so) 😀

 

When electric & gas (not petrol!) ovens first hit the market, temperate control was VERY imprecise so manufacturers used low (yellow) moderate (orange) hot (red) on temperature dials and even these had wide tolerances and spread , depending on manufacturer.

Most older cooks when using wood or fuel fired stoves and ovens could learn (by trial and error) and estimate temperature for their particular appliance.

Be kind first.

Be nice.

(If you don't know the difference then you need to do some research)

I recently purchased a bottle of yuzu juice.  When I pulled it out of the cupboard today, I noticed stuff (sediment?) on the top.  What is this and is it harmful?  The bottle has not been opened.  Thank you.

I'm guessing it might just be a bit of pulp separation but it's hard to say for sure. Is there a best-by date on it or any info on when it was bottled? 

 

You could open it and pour it out slowly to check it. If it looks like mold or has a bad smell, then you'd probably want to bin it, but otherwise it might just need to be shaken up a bit to blend it back in. 

 

BUT of course I can't say it's not gone bad with any certainty.  🙂

@FauxPas  the date on the bottle is July17/25.  Since we're not there yet, if assume that's the best before date.
