Included in the packaging is a compact guide on how to taste chocolate (look, listen, smell, taste, feel and aftertaste) and a flavor wheel. I still have 3 left if you want a taste!]]>CH2009-02-16T18:54:39ZComment on Crustless Onion & Cheese Quichehttps://foodrockz.com/2009/02/12/crustless-quiche.aspx#comment-1818943to incorporate (a food ingredient) into a mixture by repeated gentle overturnings without stirring or beating."

To fold ingredients into one another, you want to use a flat-surfaced utensil . . . any sort of spatula.  For this recipe, the folding isn't at all a big deal.  The recipe would turn out fine if you stirred instead of folded.  But with some recipes folding is more important.  I think folding has less of a tendency to disrupt the structure of the food than does stirring.  For example, when adding ingredients into whipped egg whites or whipped cream, I think folding allows the whites or cream to retain more of their air than stirring would--and this is important in making foods like tira misu, when you want the food to literally be light and airy.  Does this make sense?  But again, I don't think folding is critical to a quiche.

Comment on Crustless Onion & Cheese Quichehttps://foodrockz.com/2009/02/12/crustless-quiche.aspx#comment-1812171Thanks, daddy-o.  I've always thought of a custard as being more pudding-like . . . more milk and cream, less egg . . . egg white, specifically . . . resulting in less rise.  We could call it a savory custard, though, if you think it appropriate.
