Lesson Overview
What are the cooking methods?
Cooking methods are classified into three:
1. moist heat method,
2. dry heat method,
3. combination method.
This is a method that involves cooking the food in flavorful boiling water or steam.
The amount of water or other liquids used varies with the technique employed.
Temperatures used range from 700 C, which is simmering (at sea level), to boiling
1000 C. Generally, in this type, the food cooked has a delicate flavor and pale color.
The moist heat includes blanching, boiling, enpapillote, deep poaching, pan
steaming, parboiling, poaching, pressure cooking, simmering, shallow poaching, and
steaming.
1. Blanching– To cook food item partially and briefly in boiling liquid after which
the food is quickly immersed in cold water to stop further heating.
Typical products: Vegetables or fruits
2. Boiling- To cook food in boiling liquid with temperature at 212 ⁰F.; method that
involves bringing the water to boiling as indicated by the appearance of bubbles
rapidly breaking on the surface, before the food is added.
Typical products: Vegetables, pasta, cereals and rice among
others
It is a method that involves cooking the food where heat is conducted without
moisture. No water is added. It is a carry-over cooking, where the heat is retained by
the food even after it has been removed from the source of heat. The internal
temperature continues to rise which can change the degree of doneness considerably.
The dry heat method includes baking, barbecuing, broiling and grilling, deep fry and
griddle, pan broiling, roasting and frying.
1. Baking– To cook food using an oven. The heat is transferred through radiation,
conduction and convection.
Typical products: cakes, pastries
3. Broiling– Process using heat as a source for cooking where heat is above the
food. The actual heat transfers in these methods of cooking are radiation
and conduction
• Pan broiling – To cook food in a top-of-stove using a heavy bottom cast
iron warp resistant stainless-steel pan over intense heat. No fat or oil is
added to the pan as fat and/or juices are released from the meat being
cooked, these are poured out to prevent burning.
Typical products: Tender cuts of meat (steaks, chops), fish and poultry
4. Grilling – Cooking on an open grid over a heat source which is below the food.
Typical products: Meat and fish
5. Frying – To cook food using oil in an open pan. There are many variations of
frying depending on the amount of fat used in cooking. It includes the following:
• Deep fat frying – To cook food using enough amount of oil. Its
temperature ranges from 170 ⁰ C or 340 – 375 F
Typical products: Fish, shellfish, chicken, vegetables, meat
• Pan frying- Like sautéing, except that more fat is applied with longer
time of cooking. It is normally done over low heat than sautéing
because larger pieces are being cooked.
Typical products: Meat, chicken pieces, fish fillets
• Stir frying – Commonly used cooking method by Chinese that lays great
emphasis on speed, which is achieved by slicing the food thinly into
small pieces. It takes only about 2-3 minutes to complete the cooking.
Typical products: Vegetables, chicken, pork, tender beef, or shrimp
• Dry fry and Griddle – To cook food with very little or no fat is added at
all. When used, the fat is used only to grease the pan. Pancakes, crepes
and lumpia wrapper are cooked with this process
Typical products: Meat, eggs, pancakes and sandwiches.
6. Roasting – Cooking process done on a turning spit over an open fire. It is more
similar to baking where foods are cooked through contact with dry heated air
held in a closed environment. Nowadays, most roasting is done in an oven or
in a rotisserie. Typical products: Poultry, tender cuts of beef, pork, lamb, or veal.
It is a method that involves the two cooking processes which include braising
and stewing.
1. Braising– To cook where food is first browned in a small amount of fat similar to
sautéing then, small quantity of liquid either broth, wine or water is
added. The pan is covered with a tight-fitting lid and the cooking is
continued in a slow heat.
2. Stewing–To cook food like braising but it is applicable to cut up pieces with the
use of shallow frying or sautéing then cooked in a small amount of liquid
until the food is tender. It is applicable to meats, fish, vegetables and
fruits. Typical products: meat, poultry, and fruit.
