Use your Periodic Table to determine whether an element is a metal or a non-metal and how many valence electrons it has to help determine if it will bond by transferring (ionic/electrovalent) or sharing (covalent) valence electrons.
Pork cheeks are exactly what their name implies: the slip of meat in the hollow of the cheek, underneath the animal's eyes. (Guanciale, the famed Italian bacon, is made sometimes from the cheeks but also from the jowls of the pig.).he cheeks will be good braised any which way. I can never get enough of a Sichuan-style red-braise with chili bean paste (made from fava beans and chili oil), fermented black beans, soy sauce, wine, and sugar.
Method. Slice the beef cheeks in half to make a portion per person. In a heavy ovenproof dish with a lid, heat the oil and saute the beef cheeks just briefly on all sides and remove to a dish. In the remaining oil, saute all vegetables till soft. Add the thyme, cheeks and the wine, then add enough chicken stock for the meat and vegetables to be completely, generously covered.
