Study Notes

Cooking Methods

Dry-heat cooking: involves high temperatures and short cooking times, uses hot air to conduct heat, and can produce browning of food through the Maillard reaction
Examples of dry-heat methods: roasting, baking, pan-searing
Factors affecting choice of cooking methods in meat:
- Cuts of meat: tender cuts for roasting/broiling/grilling, less tender cuts for braising, tougher cuts for moist heat
- Fat content: high-fat meats cooked without added fat, low-fat meats cooked with added fat
- Desired quality: tenderness, flavor, and appearance

Presentation of Meat Dishes

Basic principles of platter presentation:
- Centerpiece: uncut portion of main food item
- Slices or serving portions: arranged artistically
- Garnish: arranged artistically in proportion to the cut slices
Tips for platter presentation:
- Make foods look bigger, not smaller
- Use stacking and layering methods
- Use sauce wisely
- Keep up-to-date with food styling trends
- Add appetizing touches: garnishes that enhance flavor, drizzles, and swirls

Meat Preservation

Methods of preserving meat:
- Drying/dehydration: reduces water content to 15%, retards enzymatic changes, and prevents microbial growth
- Smoking
- Salting
- Curing
- Refrigerating: stored at 2-10°C to retard mold and bacterial growth
- Freezing: deactivates enzymes and bacteria, preserves for 2 months to 1 year
- Canning: destroys organisms that cause spoilage, extends shelf life for about a year
- Freeze-drying: removes 98% of water content, maintains high quality and extends shelf life

Plating and Portion Control

Ensure the right portion size:
- Right amount of ingredients
- Plate complements the dish
- Strike the right proportion of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables for a nutritionally balanced meal
Highlight the key ingredient:
- Make the main ingredient stand out
- Pay equal attention to garnishes, sauces, and plate presentation
