The half cooling time measures the time that is taken to remove 50% of the heat from the apple. For example, if fruit temperatures are at 72°F in storage room at 32°F, the temperature difference between the fruit and final desired temperature is 40°F. A half cooling time of 8 hours means that it will take that time to reduce fruit temperatures by half this amount, i. e., 20°F, to reach a temperature of 52°F, and a further 8 hours to reduce fruit temperatures by 10°F to 42°F. In practice, we consider that it takes three half cooling times to "cool" a product. 2, record 2, English, - half%20cooling%20time

New technology is set to invade the most important room in the house : the kitchen. Soon you’ll be able to throw out that ancient microwave and cook with a "flashbake" oven using photons, or units of electromagnetic radiation. This oven cooks food just like a conventional oven-cooking from the outside and browning food but in half the time. Appliances are also getting safer. A breakthrough called an induction stove focuses a magnetic field above the burner that boils water in 20 seconds, but will not burn anything else. Only the content of the pot become hot. 1, record 4, English, - induction%20stove
