Confession time: I have never been able to get excited about quinoa. That all just changed with the discovery of these Cheesy Quinoa and Broccoli Patties. I simply substituted 10 ounces of frozen broccoli for the fresh (just cook and drain it before adding to the patty mixture).
The halogen lamp is also known as a quartz halogen and tungsten halogen lamp. It is an advanced form of incandescent lamp. The filament is composed of ductile tungsten and located in a gas filled bulb just like a standard tungsten bulb, however the gas in a halogen bulb is at a higher pressure (7-8 ATM). The glass bulb is made of fused quartz, high-silica glass or aluminosilicate.
Halogen bulbs burn much brighter and produce much more heat than standard incandescent bulbs. When you touch one of these bulbs (never touch a light bulb while it is on), oil from your skin leaves a residue on the glass shell to the bulb.When the bulb is turned on, it begins to get hot.Much of this heat is dumped into the air around the bulb and is carried away. common notion that it's a bad idea to actually touch halogen bulbs with your fingers when installing them is also brought up. One person indicates the finger oils and salts will etch and weaken the bulb. The salts and acids present in sweat would etch the glass and cause premature failure.
