INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Depending on the type of cake, cooling using this method can be done in just a couple of hours. Here are some things to consider:  Angel food cakes, pound cakes, sponge cakes and other light and fluffy cakes can cool in the refrigerator in about 1-2 hours.  This method may not be the best choice for a cheesecake, as quick changes of temperature can upset the structure of the cake, causing cracks. For rich, creamy cakes that are served chilled, this method may take you up to 4 hours.  If you are cooling a traditional cake, this method will take you about 2-3 hours. Once your cake is fully cooked, use oven mitts to carefully take it out of the oven and place it on the kitchen counter. Let your cake sit for 5-10 minutes. Here are some guidelines to consider:  If you are working with a cheesecake, or other creamy cake, it is recommended that you turn off the heat and let your cake cool in the oven for about an hour before transferring your cake to the refrigerator. If you don't have the time, you can put your cake in the refrigerator although it may crack slightly.  If you are working with cheesecake, run a butter knife along the edge of the cake and the pan while the cake is still warm, this will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan later. You may want to place your cake pan on a wooden surface like a cutting board to protect your countertop from heat damage. After allowing it to cool briefly on the countertop, place your cake pan in the refrigerator for another 5-10 minutes. This will further cool the cake without causing it to dry out. It should be pretty cool to the touch after 5 or 10 minutes. Here are some things to consider:  If you are cooling a sponge or angel food cake, it is recommended that you cool the cake upside down. This can be done by turning the pan upside down and setting the tube part over the neck of a stable bottle. Turning it upside down for cooling helps prevent it from collapsing as it cools. If you are cooling a pound cake, it is recommended that you take it out of the pan to cool it. Cooling a pound cake for too long in a pan can cause it to become overly damp and stick to the pan. Transfer it to a wire rack and place it in the refrigerator. Take your cake pan back out of the fridge and seal the top of your cake pan by wrapping it at least twice over with plastic wrap. Sealing the cake tight will help keep it moist as it continues to cool. If you have removed your cake from the pan or placed it upside down, you don't need to wrap it up. If you are chilling an angel food cake or pound cake, you may only need to cool it for an additional hour. If you are cooling a cheesecake, let it cool for the entire 2 hours. Use a sharp knife or butter knife and run it along the edges of the pan between the rim of the pan and the cake. Be sure to keep your knife vertical so you don't accidentally cut into the sides of your cake. Place a large plate over the cake pan. Hold the plate and the pan firmly together and flip them upside down. Shake the pan softly to transfer your cake from pan to platter.  If your cake is especially delicate, gently tap the bottom of the pan a few times until you feel your cake release. Now that your cake is cool, you are free to frost and decorate however you wish!

SUMMARY: Decide how much time you have. Remove your cake from the oven. Put your cake in the fridge. Wrap your cake in plastic wrap. Let your cake cool in the refrigerator for an additional 1-2 hours. Loosen your cake from the pan. Remove your cake from the pan.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your pubic area is very sensitive and vulnerable to harsh chemicals. Read the ingredients list on the back of the box of hair dye to make sure it doesn’t contain ammonia or parabens that could irritate your skin.  Look for dye that’s labeled “chemical-free,” “organic,” or “all-natural.” You can use any color dye. Pick a color that matches your hair or, for a playful look, pick a bright color like pink or blue. Petroleum jelly acts like a barrier between your skin and the dye so it doesn’t stain or irritate certain spots. Rub a thin layer onto your labia, vulva, penis, or scrotum. Avoid getting petroleum jelly on the hair you want to dye since the jelly blocks the dye. Your box of hair dye will contain instructions for how to prepare the dye. It should also include plastic gloves. Place them on your hands before you begin working with the dye to protect your skin.  If your hair dye doesn’t come with gloves, you can buy them at any beauty store, grocery store, or online retailer. Test a small amount of dye on your skin before applying all over to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction. This dilutes the dye so it isn’t as harsh on your pubic area. Pour the same amount of shampoo as there is dye into the dye itself. Mix the 2 together with a spoon until thoroughly combined.  The exact amount of hair dye should be listed on the front of the box. Use that measurement for your shampoo. For example, if you have 3 ounces (85 g) of hair color, you’ll add 3 ounces (85 g) of shampoo. Choose shampoo that has hydrating ingredients, like argan oil, vitamin E, or Moroccan oil. Avoid one that has parabens, which will irritate your skin. Use the hair dye applicator brush to gently apply the dye, making sure to completely saturate all of the hair. Avoid rubbing the dye or letting it get into any super sensitive places, like inside your vagina.  Most boxed hair dye will come with an applicator brush. If yours doesn’t, buy one from a beauty store or an online retailer. You can also use a small paintbrush with bristles instead the hair dye brush. This allows the color to fully soak into your pubic hair. Check the directions provided with the hair dye to find the exact processing time for that specific brand and type. Some dyes may be closer to 20 minutes.  Wash off the dye immediately if you experience any burning or painful tingling sensations. Set a timer or use the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time. Don’t leave the dye on for longer than the recommended time or you could damage your pubic hair and skin. Stand under the shower so the water runs over the dye, removing it from your pubic hair. Gently rub the area with a clean washcloth to get rid of any excess dye or petroleum jelly, too.  You'll know that all of the dye is gone once the water runs clear. If there’s any dye left on your skin after you dry off, dab the area with a cotton ball dipped in astringent or witch hazel to remove it. Once it dries, if you aren't satisfied with the color, you should wait 4 weeks before re-dyeing it so you don't damage your hair.

SUMMARY:
Choose a hair dye without ammonia or parabens. Apply petroleum jelly to the most sensitive areas to protect them. Put on plastic gloves and mix the hair dye according to the directions. Stir an equal amount of moisturizing shampoo into the dye. Brush the dye onto your pubic hair. Let the dye sit for about 30 minutes. Rinse off the dye with warm water and a washcloth.
