Answer to Question 1

Hominy is enlarged kernels of hulled corn with the bran and germ removed. Masa harina is made from finely ground kernels of hulled corn; this is the basic flour for making corn tortillas. Cornstarch is the finely ground endosperm of corn that is used to thicken gravies, puddings, and sauces because of its high starch content.

Answer to Question 2

Quick-cooking oatmeal prepared with cold water will not absorb the water as readily as the oatmeal prepared with boiling water.
