Explain why conduction is considered a fairly slow method of heat transfer
It is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules the slower molecules gain more thermal energy and collide with molecules in cooler objects. This process continues until he energy from warm objects spread to cool object
Which two types of cookware will not work for induction cooking why
Aluminum and copper because they have no magnetic energy
Explain the difference between natural and mechanical convection
Natural: it occurs when molecules at the bottom of a cooking vessel and warm while cooler and heavier molecule sink
Mechanical: It occurs went outside forces circulate the heat, which shortens cooking time and cooks food more evenly
Infrared
Uses electric or ceramic heating element that gives off electromagnetic energy waves
Which method of heat transfer are you using when you sauté
It is a dry method/conduction
What types of foods do best when sautéed
Delicate food that cooks quickly
What three things past you do to the grill Before placing food on the grill
Preheat grill, preparation, clean and oil grill
Which methods of heat transfer using when you grill
Mainly radiation, heat waves from fire in coal
Explain what it means to Truss a roast
Tie meat with string
- holds shape for even cooking
- holds in stuffing
- improves appearance
What are two ways to elevate a roast
Gyro vertical rotisserie
Rotisserie wood oven
What are the three sauce options that should be developed from the fond in the roasting pan
Au jus
Jus lie
Pan gravy
What types of foods are ideal for braising
Call large cuts of meat: pork shoulder chicken legs Shanks chuck roast
BRaising and stewing go beyond the usual internal done is cooking Tim: explain how you should know if the braise is finished cooking
Tough cuts: fork method or thermometer at 1:80 to 200°
How do you brazen is doing break down the connective tissues of the foods that are cooked in this way
Causes the muscle fibers to absorb moisture from liquid and as connective tissue breaks down they dissolve in form gelatin which the
