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.
The halogen lamp has a tungsten filament similar to the standard incandescent lamp, however the lamp is much smaller for the same wattage, and contains a halogen gas in the bulb. The halogen is important in that is stops the blackening and slows the thinning of the tungsten filament.
