Study Notes
Cooking Methods Overview
- Grilling involves cooking food over an open flame or heat source, while griddling uses a solid cooking surface for heat application.
- Griddling is characterized by the ability to adjust temperatures on a solid surface.
- Food is typically cooked on a frying pan, sauté pan, or skillet through the method of griddling.
Griddles and Their Purpose
- Grooved griddles create grill marks on food, enhancing presentation and contributing to flavor through caramelization.
- Using a rack when roasting meat allows fat to drain away, promotes even cooking, and facilitates air circulation around the meat.
Broiling and Temperature Adjustments
- Broiling cooks food using radiant heat from above, effectively browning and cooking the surface.
- Preheating the broiler is essential to establish a high temperature quickly, ensuring food is cooked evenly and efficiently.
Roasting and Baking
- The main difference between roasting and baking lies in the type of food; roasting typically involves meat, while baking is for breads, pastries, and desserts.
Braising and Cooking Methods
- Oven braising offers the advantage of tenderizing tougher cuts of meat through slow cooking in liquid.
- The method of braising consists of cooking meat or fish in large amounts of liquid to enhance flavor and tenderness.
Simmering vs. Stewing
- Simmering involves cooking food in liquid at a slightly higher temperature than poaching, while stewing implies cooking food in a small amount of liquid over an extended period, resulting in a thicker consistency.
