Cooking Methods
Cooking methods can be categorized into several types based on the heat transfer method, temperature, and moisture level. Here are some common cooking methods:
Dry Heat Cooking Methods
- Grilling: Cooking over direct high heat, usually between 350°F to 450°F (175°C to 230°C).
- Roasting: Cooking in the oven using dry heat, usually between 300°F to 425°F (150°C to 220°C).
- Broiling: Cooking under direct high heat, usually between 400°F to 550°F (200°C to 290°C).
- Searing: Cooking over high heat to create a crust on the surface of the food.
Moist Heat Cooking Methods
- Boiling: Cooking in liquid at or above 212°F (100°C).
- Steaming: Cooking in steam at or above 212°F (100°C).
- Poaching: Cooking in liquid at or below 180°F (82°C).
- Braising: Cooking in liquid at or below 180°F (82°C) on low heat for an extended period.
Combination Cooking Methods
- Stir-Frying: Cooking quickly over high heat, stirring constantly, using a combination of dry and moist heat.
- Sautéing: Cooking quickly over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, using a combination of dry and moist heat.
Low-Temperature Cooking Methods
- Slow Cooking: Cooking at a low temperature, usually between 150°F to 300°F (65°C to 150°C), over an extended period.
- Smoking: Cooking at a low temperature, usually between 100°F to 250°F (38°C to 120°C), over an extended period.
These are just some of the common cooking methods used in food preparation. Each method produces unique results and is suited to specific types of food and desired outcomes.
