What are the 5 ways of cooking vegetables?
- Boiling and Steaming
- Sautéing and Pan-Frying
- Braising
- Baking
- Deep-Frying
Vegetables are drained as soon as they are cooked and then cool quickly under cold water to prevent overcooking from the residual heat.
Boiling and steaming
Both methods may be used to complete cooking pre-cooked or blanched vegetables. Also used for complete cooking of raw vegetables.
Sauteing and Pan-Frying
The blanched or raw vegetable is placed in the pan then liquid is added (stock, water, wine) to cover vegetables, then cooked slowly
Braising
Cooking starchy vegetables using heat of the oven, rather than range top.
Baking
Vegetables large enough to coat with breading or batter may be fried.
Deep-Frying
