And with only days to go before turkeys hit dinner tables across the country the Test Kitchen chefs have been busy said Jack Bishop chef TV personality and editorial director of America's Test Kitchen.

From a cooking perspective Thanksgiving is the most important week of the year Bishop told Livescience.

8 Fascinating Turkey Facts Still the prospect of cooking a whole turkey should not intimidate chefs Bishop added.

If possible Bishop suggests purchasing a fresh turkey rather than a frozen one. If you're willing to make the investment in time

The salt will change the protein structure within the muscle fibers so the turkey will hold onto more moisture in the cooking process Bishop explained.

Still Bishop cautions that more is not necessarily better and it's important to avoid making the brining solution too salty.

Before placing the turkey in the oven Bishop suggests brushing the raw bird with butter.

and kosher varieties are processed with salt Bishop said. The most important tip for using frozen turkeys is to let the birds thaw in the refrigerator before cooking them he added. 5 Myth-Busting Facts for a Safe Turkey Turkey temperature This year alone the Test Kitchen chefs experimented with more than 100 turkeys

and temperature Bishop said. In the last 20 years Bishop estimates the Test Kitchen has cooked thousands of turkeys.

The tests'results indicated that roasting a turkey at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (roughly 200 degrees Celsius) works best.

But there are some challenging aspects to cooking a turkey Bishop said. For one the shape of the bird complete with a huge cavity in the center means it heats unevenly in the oven.

because it begins to dry out Bishop said. Dark meat on the other hand shouldn't be undercooked because it'll be chewy.

while it's in the oven Bishop said. The Test Kitchen chefs found that basting the bird does not actually improve the juiciness of the turkey.

Instead to brown and crisp up the skin Bishop recommends placing the turkey on a rack that sits inside a roasting pan.

and the juices will run into the breast Bishop said. At the one-hour mark take two wads of paper towel

and serving the turkey Bishop recommends letting the finished product rest for 30 to 40 minutes.

and physically contract Bishop explained. If you start cutting when it's hot from the oven the muscle fibers will expel juices

Here are other tips from Bishop and the Test Kitchen team: For perfect pie dough just add vodka:

The secret to baking a flaky pie crust is to add vodka to the mix Bishop said.

Usually ice water is what brings pie dough together to make it workable but if you skimp on water you end up with a dough that's cracked

and hard to work with Bishop said. So most cooks add extra water which makes the dough easier to work with

Test Kitchen chefs discovered that the ethanol in vodka helps moisten the dough but it does not activate gluten development.

As such Bishop recommends using half-ice water and half-vodka when making pie dough. And there's no need to worry about boozing up your pie dough.

The alcohol bakes off in the oven so you can't taste it Bishop explained.

so it's easier to work with the cooked potatoes Bishop said. It's pretty cheap

but Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used Bishop said. Cook stuffing separately not inside the turkey:

but it slows down the entire cooking process Bishop said. Stuffing has eggs in it

But in order to get up to that temperature you end up overcooking the bird Bishop said. You don't want to be waiting for the stuffing

however Bishop recommends warming it up before the stuffing goes inside the bird. Â Warming stuffing in the microwave so it's not ice cold will at least give it a head start he said.

The ancient wine bore little resemblance to the Bordeaux and Chianti of today it was preserved

and spiced with resin and herbs including juniper mint and myrtle. The closest modern analogue is a Greek wine flavored with pine resin called retsina study researcher Assaf Yasur-Landau of the University of Haifa told reporters.

If you take retsina and you pour a bit of cough syrup inside I guess you get something quite similar Yasur-Landau said.

The find is important less for the wine's palate and more for what it reveals about the culture of the ancient Canaanites a group that dominated

what is now Israel and Lebanon. See Images of the Oldest Wine cellar Discovery Yasur-Landau

Texts and inscriptions from the era describe herbal wines but this is the first true chemical evidence of their existence.

 Intoxicating discovery The wine storage room is at a site called Tel Kabri in northern Israel where archaeologists are unearthing the remains of a sprawling palace dating back to about 1700 B c. that was built

It may have been this earthquake that crushed the wine storage room leaving toppled jars for archaeologists to uncover.

They estimate that the jars were held in a storage room measuring about 16 feet by 26 feet (5 m by 8 m). Together the 40 jars could have held about 2000 liters (500 gallons) of wine the team said.

7 Amazing Archaeological Finds Wine chemistry At the excavation site Brandeis University researcher Andrew Koh who specializes in archaeological chemistry took shards of the pots

Tartaric and syringic acids both hallmarks of wine proved that the jars indeed held vino.

Resins would have helped preserve the wines. If the ancient wineswere anything like retsina the resins also would have lent a distinctive turpentine flavor to the beverage.

Honey sweetened the wine the researchers found and juniper mint cinnamon bark and other herbs flavored it.

The jars were remarkably consistent in their contents suggesting that winemakers were sticking to a recipe.

and the wine includes imported ingredients pointing to maritime trade around the Mediterranean. Doors from the storage room may lead to at least one other storage chamber

Texts from the ancient town of Mari Syria describe herbed wines from this time period Yasur-Landau said.

The chemical analysis of the ancient wine continues erhaps in enough detail for creative winemakers to one day recreate this ancient Canaanite brew.

#Optical Technique Sorts Grapes for Wine Quality (ISNS) A team of German scientists has developed an automated process that sorts grapes into different levels of quality for winemaking.

The goal of developing the technique is to produce wines that will satisfy refined palates but cost less than current prices.

Different colors correspond to different amounts of sugar in the grapes a basic criterion for their wine-making characteristics.

the grapes for white wines Riesling and Weisser Burgunder and those for the red wines Trollinger and Lemberger.

Our experiments have proven that wine quality has improved obviously due to our sorting said Kai-Uwe Vieth of the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) in Karlsruhe Germany who oversaw

Although optical sorting has been used for years in related industries such as the cork industry its application in the wine industry is said pretty new Anita Oberholster a specialist in enology the study of wine

The wines are currently settling and we will start chemical analysis soon she said. The German process uses a special conveying system to load de-stemmed grapes onto a belt that travels past a sorting module.

The technology that the process uses to separate grapes of different wine-making characteristics remains secret.

and making wine out of the selected grapes Vieth said. University viticulture experts will also put the resulting wines through taste tests.

#Roses, Wine or Chocolate: Weather Controls it All This article was provided by Accuweather. com. With Valentine's day right around the corner everyone is searching for the perfect gift for their loved one.

From roses to chocolate and wine weather plays an important role in production. Roses The biggest weather-related factor in the production of beautiful roses is the temperature.

Wine How romantic it is to share a bottle of fine wine during a candlelit Valentine's dinner.

To produce grapes that will transform into a delicious bottle of wine the grapevines need to grow at a site with good soil drainage full sunlight and soil that is nutrient-poor.

Full sunlight is another important factor to growth of good wine grapes. Sunlight is the biggest part of a plant's photosynthesis process.

That energy then is converted into glucose in the plant by photosynthesis. Glucose is the sugar in the grape that ferments to become alcohol.

Nutrient-poor soil also makes for a good wine grape. The color and flavor that come from a grape are stored mostly in the grape's skin.

A stressed grapevine will produce smaller grapes perfect for making wine according to motherearthnews. com. http://www. motherearthnews. com/Real-Food/2003-04-01/Growing-Grapes

#Sparkling wines from Sussex? Climate Change Swirls Wine Production (Op-Ed) Antonio Busalacchi directs the University of Maryland Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center and chairs the World Climate Research

Programme's Joint Scientific Committee and the National Research Council board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate.

and Certified Wine Educator and operates wine and vineyard consulting firm Vinoveritas LLC. He contributed this article to Livescience's Expert Voices:

In the not too distant future your favorite style of French wine may not come from its namesake region or even from France at all.

Climate change is altering growing conditions in wine-producing regions and in coming decades it will change the wines produced in these regions in some cases shifting northward the growth of grape varieties long associated with regions further south.

Climate change will produce winners and losers among wine-growing regions and for every region it will result in changes to the alcohol acid sugar tannins

and color contained in each wine. My research assistant Eric Hackert and I have analyzed climate change impacts on two dozen of the world's major wine-producing regions across both the Old

and New worlds providing snapshots of what conditions will be like at the middle and end of this century.

For example several Champagne houses already are looking at land in Sussex and Kent in southern England as potential sites for new vineyards because as climate warms the region those areas are becoming more hospitable to quality grape growing.

The soil type in the region (note the white cliffs of Dover) is similar to the chalky substrate of Champagne

and the cost of land is 30 times less than the premium to be paid per hectare in France.

Our research suggests Bordeaux and several other regions will suffer compressed growing seasons that yield unbalanced low-acid wines that lack complexity.

South africa and South australia likely will see declines in wine production due to severe droughts. Extreme events such as heat waves that shut down photosynthesis

and hail storms that can ruin a chateau's annual production in a matter of minutes will become more commonplace.

wines will lose their traditional character. Taken to an extreme a wine from the Left bank of Bordeaux may move away from the classic aromas of cedar cigar box blackcurrants and green pepper and more toward the full rich spicy-peppery profile of a Chã¢teauneuf-du-Pape

from the Southern Rhone. Given that most grapevines produce fruit for 25 to 50 years grape growers

In the Old world traditions may need to change with the times as appellation regulations restrict irrigation wine-making practices

Adaptations in grape growing and wine making represent only a few of the many adjustments the world will have to make as a result of the warming planet.

Why Some People Taste Things More Bitter It has been a mystery why some people love some vegetables like broccoli

not only people's genetic makeup that determines people's reaction to broccoli's bitter taste

The 7 (Other) Flavors Humans May Taste In the study 18 people with the same bitter taste genes rated the bitterness level of several beverages including broccoli juice and carrot juice.

The researchers took small samples of tissue from the participants'taste buds. Taste buds small bumps that cover the tongue contain taste receptors.

The researchers measured the amount of a molecule in the taste buds called MESSENGER RNA (mrna)

which contains instructions for making bitter taste receptors. The results showed a direct relationship between how much mrna people's cells made and their bitterness ratings of broccoli juice.

People who had the most mrna for bitter taste receptor rated the juice as most bitter.

and drinks said study researcher Danielle Reed a geneticist at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.

It might be that people with low expression of bitter receptor genes who find vegetables to taste less bitter are more likely to include them in their diet than people with high expression of these genes the researchers said.
