How do I know when my boiling water is ready for cooking?
I found a nice recipe for a fish dish but my family doesn't like fish, what do I do?
I want to stir-fry but I don't have a wok.

Not as silly as they sound.
Water reaches the boiling point at 212 degrees. You can continue to heat the water until it all turns to steam. Once you achieve a rapid boil, lower the heat.
You can make fish that does not taste fishy.
I have no wok, yet I stir fry daily in Granny's old iron skillet.
Uh, when the water is boiling???
You are a confused man. Slow down and focus. What do you want to know?
Uh, I agree... once the water bubbles, then, it's ready!
boiling water? look for the tiny bubbles...they make me happy too...
..........water boils at exactly 100 degrees Celsius......and by the way I think you forgot a couple of links............
You know when your water is boiling when it is bubbling. The water will be very hot, as will the steam comming out of the pot.
When its full of bubbles and very hot. Try the recipe with omething else. Buy a wok.
reach in the pot and feel the bottom of the pan. if its hot then your good.
Lol, nice one, Steve. I'll pick the third one: use a large non-reactive skillet, and make sure you get it very very hot before you start stir frying.
"Boiling water" means that it has reached a certain temp. If the recipe says, boiling water then you can cook it for as long as the recipe indicates. However, if the recipe uses the term,"simmering", it is NOT boiling but less heat that produces very small bubbles and looks like it is shimmering.
Try not cooking the water, stick with the fish and you will have a more substantial meal. Stir fry the fish in a wok, try using anti- freeze instead of oil.
Call me for the anecdote which will be available for $10,000.00 on a "first" pay basis, so try not to be the first one to get sick and let someone else sample your meal.
I found a nice recipe for a fish dish but my family doesn't like fish, what do I do?.......Either substitute the fish with another meat (chicken, pork, beef etc) or find another nice recipe that has nothing to do with fish. That would be my response!
And I have not stopped laughing yet!
Hi Steve, great question. I'll pick the second one. Uhh... don't cook fish?
well when all this bubbles star to come out...
when the water starts boiling, its ready for cooking. look for all the bubbles in the water.
don't cook fish if your family won't eat it, try pork, chicken or beef. why would you even look for a fish recipe when noone eats it?!
you can use a deep skillet for stir fry, make sure its really hot or go for take out. if you can't do either or those, i guess you won't be getting stir fry. buy a wok!
I think these might be a little too complicated for me but I'll try to answer the second one. lol just reduce the recipe down to one serving size, if the serving size is for 8 people divide by 7.
Sounds like these people who sent you the emails are really at the beginning of their cooking experiences!
Well, there is no point in cooking a fish dinner if no one is going to eat it!
i use a timer and when it strikes a rolling boil.it is ready
when it was started for boiled with bubbles and also after some time, then it is boiled.
