But the short procedure is also worthwhile with tomatoes, chilli, peppers and aubergines. How exactly a seed is pre-germinated depends on the type of seed, the  germination conditions and the number of seeds . Depending on the variety, seeds need very different conditions to germinate. In our article “The 8 best sowing tips” we go into this shortly: Temperature, humidity and planting depth are important. You can ignore the planting depth until the seeds have germinated.

How to cook flank steak?

Flank steak When properly prepared, it is especially tender and aromatic. The flank steak is lean and usually 2-3cm thick and weighs around 700-1000 grams. In the USA it is part of the standard range in almost every supermarket. In this country it is more difficult to get a good flank steak. The German butchers often do not know the cut and the flank ends up in the minced meat or sausage. And if you are lucky enough to get a flank, it is often tough because it has not matured long enough. That's why I swear primarily about US goods that can be bought in the wholesale market (Metro and Handelshof). But not everyone has the opportunity to shop there. There are a few online retailers, such as Albers Food , that also have flank steak in their range. Prepare the flank steak properly In order to get a tender and aromatic steak from the "belly flap" of the beef, you should pay attention to a few things.

How to become a private investigator?

Since the designation of the profession as a private detective is not legally protected in Germany, you can theoretically call yourself a private detective after registering as a business. The job title is not linked to an apprenticeship or the like. There is also no state vocational training for private investigators in Germany. Training comes before learning by doing But the job title detective alone is not enough. Because if you have no idea of ​​the profession, then you cannot do the job properly. This is exactly the same as with all other professions. “Learning by doing” is certainly not the right way to go. The path to the private detective profession is therefore often followed by people who come from related professions: Electronics technician for the areas of eavesdropping and video surveillance Middle service officials (police, federal police, customs) Lawyers For career changers in the private detective profession, training through the ZAD is ideal. At the ZAD, even complete...

How to cook pinto beans?

In the supermarket you can find pinto or quail beans either dried or in a can. Canned goods are of course particularly easy to handle because they only have to be heated. Cooking dried beans isn't that much more difficult, but you should soak the beans for a few hours, preferably overnight, before cooking. This shortens the cooking time and saves energy. Soak and cook Pinto beans soaked for eight hours take about 1 hour to soften. Various sources state that a longer soaking time leads to a further reduction in the cooking time. We cannot fully confirm that. In our kitchen, beans soaked for eight hours took just as long as beans soaked for 12 hours. The type of bean and, above all, the age of the beans probably play a role in the cooking time. Should you spontaneously decide to cook with pinto beans, the la...
