Cooking method

Cooking method description 

This is basically a high heat form of baking, where your food gets drier and browner on the outside by initial exposure to a temperature of over 500F.

This prevents most of the moisture being cooked out of the food.

This is a fast, dry and very hot way of cooking, where the food is placed under an intense radiant heat.

You can use various sources of heat like wood burning, coals, gas flame, or electric heating.

where the food is completely immersed in hot oil

where you fry the food very quickly on a high heat in an oiled pan

where food is cooked in a frying pan with oil; and

where the food is browned on one side and then the other with a small quantity of fat or oil.

This means cooking your food in water vapour over boiling water.

Equipment consists of a vessel with a perforated bottom placed on top of another containing water.

It cooks he food in the perforated vessel above.

This involves a small amount of hot liquid, ideally at a temperature between 160 and 180F. The cooking liquid is normally water, but you can also use broth, stock, milk or juice. Common foods cooked include Poultry, fish, eggs and fruit.

This involves cooking liquid on top of a stove in a pot or pan. It should be carried out on a low heat, and you will see bubbles appearing on the surface of the liquid as your dish cooks.

the heat source comes directly from the top. You should be able to adjust your oven setting, but be careful, as this cooking methods works quickly and your meal could easily become burned. Favourite dishes for broiling include chicken, beef and fish.

First the food is sauted or seared, and then simmered in liquid for a long period of time until tender. Pot roasts, stews and casseroles can be cooked in this way if they contain larger food items such as poultry legs.
