Examples Of Cooking Methods Flashcards
Conduction to convection
- boiling
- poaching Cooking methods that involve water to cook
- steaming Foods
- braising
- simmering
- stewing
Conduction
Methods involving using oil in a pan to cook foods
- frying
- sautéing
Convection into conduction
When the heat surrounds the food
- baking
- roasting
- deep fat frying
Radiation
Methods that use radiation in low amount to cook fast in a short amount of time
- toasting
- grilling
- dry frying
- microwaving
What happens during conduction to convection methods
Starch absorbs water and gelatinises between 60-100 degrees and protein denatures
What happens in conduction methods
Sugars in the food caramelise and the protein denatures and coagulates
What happens in convection to conduction methods
Protein denatures, sugars melt into syrups that soften the gluten and yeast is killed
What happens during radiation cooking
The starch turns to dextrin
What happens to a pan during conduction
It transfers heat energy to the food.
The atoms in metals are tightly packed in a lattice, as heat is applied they vibrate
This passes on heat energy
What happens scientifically during convection
The transfer of heat energy by the movement of molecules in a liquid or air.
When water molecules are heating they bump into eachother
What happens scientifically during radiation cooking
The heat energy is in the form of infrared heat rays. They travel through the air and are absorbed when they reach a solid and hit the solid up
