Read and Learn Procedure text is a text used to tell someone how to do or make something. This type of text comes in many forms, such as instruction manuals and recipes. The text consists of three parts: 1. Goal : Title of the text (especially for a recipe) 2. Materials : Optional, not for all procedural texts 3. Steps : a series steps oriented to achieving the Goal B. Study the example below. Goal: How to boil an egg Do you know how to boil an egg? Well, this is the way! Steps: First, heat a saucepan of water on the stove. Then put the egg in the boiling water. After that, heat it until it boils. Next, cook it for three minutes. 6 Don’t leave the eggs until it gets burnt. Now, the egg is ready to serve. Finally, serve it with pepper powder and salt C. Read again the text above carefully and you will find: 1. The use of Simple Present Tense, often in an imperative form e.g. Heat a saucepan, put the egg, etc. 2. The use mainly of temporal conjunction (or numbering to indicate sequence especially in written text) a. As the sentence introducers (sequencers) especially in spoken text: First … Firstly … Second … Secondly … Then … Thirdly … After that … Afterwards … Finally … Lastly … e.g. Firstly, prepare some water! b. As time introducers, especially in written text … before … After … When … While … … until … During … e.g. While you are boiling the water, grind the chilies, onions and salt 3. The use of action verbs. Example: put, cook 4. The use of precise vocabulary. e.g. 1 teaspoon, a cup, etc. 7 D. Read the text carefully. Then, label the parts of the text. How to Make Buttermilk Pancakes Ingredients 9 7/8 oz (280 grams or 1 1/4 cups) of flour 1 teaspoon of baking soda 2 teaspoons of baking powder 4 tablespoons of sugar 1/2 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs (beaten) 20 1/2 fl oz (600 ml or 2 1/2 cups) of buttermilk 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 1 3/4 oz (50 grams or 1/4 cup) of butter (melted) 3 1/3 fl oz (100 ml or about 1/3 cup) of vegetable oil Maple syrup and some fruit 8 Steps 1.

Start mixing the "wet" ingredients in the "dry" bowl (buttermilk, vanilla extract, eggs, and butter). Continue when it's only combined; ignore any lumps for right now. 3. Turn on the stove top/range to medium heat and place a frying pan on the range. Pour a bit of oil into the pan. 4. Take a ladle and scoop a good proportion of pancake batter. Pour it in the frying pan and cook it for either 3 minutes or when you see bubbles forming at the top of the pancake. 5. Take your spatula and carefully try to flip the pancake over. After flipping, cook this side for about a minute. Wait until the pancake turns a golden brown color and put it on a plate. 6. Do the cooking steps for the other pancake pieces. 7.

Smacznego 尽享美食 Καλή σας όρεξη! Enjoy your meal! Dear OEKO-TEX® friends The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. We would like to mark this occasion by saying thank you to all companies participating in the OEKO-TEX® system, and to their employees involved in the OEKO-TEX® product certification in their daily work. Without their personal commitment and close co-operation with our teams around the globe, the great success of the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 would not have been possible. As a small gift the OEKO-TEX® teams from our worldwide member institutes and representative offices have created a self-made cooking book with favourite recipes which in some way has the same properties as the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 that you are so familiar with – it is international, it can be used as a modular system and it illustrates the great variety of delicious food and drinks (just like the successfully tested textiles of all kinds). We hope that you will enjoy preparing the individual dishes. Set your creativity and your taste buds free! Should you come across any unusual ingredients or instructions, please feel free to call the OEKO-TEX® employees who will be happy to provide an explanation – following the motto “OEKO-TEX® unites and speaks Imprint the same language” (albeit sometimes with a local accent).

  • Eggs for One Step Green Synthesis of Stable and Biocompatible Gold Nanoparticles Tofanello, A.1, Nantes, I.L.1
    XLIII Annual Meeting of SBBq Foz do Iguaçu, PR, Brazil, May 17th to 20th, 2014 Meringue, eggnog and omelette: Eggs for one step green synthesis of stable and biocompatible gold nanoparticles Tofanello, A.1, Nantes, I.L.1 1Nanoestruturas para Biologia e Materiais Avançados (NanoBioMAv), Centro de Ciências Naturais e Humanas, Universidade Federal do ABC, Santo André, SP, Brazil Introduction The use of biomolecules as templates, reducing and stabilizing agents for controlled synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has crescent interest. The advantages are: mild pH and temperature, use of water as solvent, fastness and stabilization concomitant with the synthesis1. In this regard, egg proteins have high affinity for metal ions facilitating nucleation of NPs. Objective: The objective is to develop a low cost, green method of gold NP synthesis by using egg components as reducing and stabilizing agents. Also, the differences in the composition of egg components contribute for the comprehension of the mechanisms involved in the synthesis of gold NPs by biomolecules. MATERIAL and METHODS: In a typical procedure, 300 μL egg white extract was fully dissolved in 300 μL phosphate buffer (pH=5; 7,2 and 9) in the presence of gold salt solution. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Egg yolk was the most efficient egg component to fast (48 h) production of smaller gold NPs (around 20 nm diameter). Egg white and the mixture of egg white and yolk produced gold NPs with 50 nm diameter after 72 h incubation. The structure and functional groups of egg white albumin and yolk proteins (phosvitin, lipovitelin and livitin) associated to a high content of cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine provides peculiar conditions for reduction of gold ions and NP nucleation.

  • How to Cook Omurice
    How to Cook Omurice Omurice is an interesting cross-cultural dish: it is a Japanese take on a Western-style omelette served over fried rice. This particular recipe is based on a dish that my Japanese mother cooked for me. Since it is a family recipe all of the measurements are approximate. Please adapt it to your taste. (Christina Wainwright) INGREDIENTS For Fried Rice (serves 2) • 1 T butter (for frying the vegetables) • 1/2 onion, diced • 1/4 cup vegetables (frozen or fresh – I prefer frozen peas or lima beans) • 2 T butter (for frying the rice) • 2-3 cups rice • 1/4 – 1/2 cup ketchup (start with 1/4 cup, add more to taste) • Salt, to taste For Omelette (recipe is for each; repeat for your 2nd omelette) • 1-3 eggs (quantity depends on how hearty of an omelette you want) • 2 tsp mirin (can substitute for 1 tsp water + 1 tsp sugar) * • 1 tsp sugar * • Oil for your pan (vegetable oil, butter, spray – whatever you like to use) * If you don’t want a sweetened omelette, you can opt to make it savory by skipping these ingredients and instead seasoning it with salt to taste. INSTRUCTIONS Preparing the Fried Rice • Melt 1 T of butter in a pan. • Saute onion for a few minutes, then add vegetables. Cook until vegetables are heated through and onions are somewhat translucent. • Push vegetables to the sides of the pan, then melt remaining 2 T of butter in the center. • Fry the rice in the melted butter. Fold in the onion and other vegetables.
