The document discusses various cooking methods including baking, frying, roasting, and grilling. Baking involves dry heat in an enclosed environment. Frying cooks food in fat by deep frying, stir frying, pan frying, or sauteing. Roasting uses high heat like baking but browns the outside more. Grilling uses an intense radiant heat source like wood or gas.

Cooking
Methods Baking
• This involves applying a dry convection heat to your
food in an enclosed environment. • The dry heat involved in the baking process makes the outside of the food go brown, and keeps the moisture locked in. • Baking is regularly used for cooking pastries, bread and desserts Frying This means cooking your food in fat – there are several variations of frying: • Deep-frying- where the food is completely immersed in hot oil • Stir-frying- where you fry the food very quickly on a high heat in a oiled pan • Pan-frying- where food is cooked in a frying pan with oil; and • Sauteing- where the food is browned on one side and then the other with a small quantity of fat or oil. Deep-frying- where the food is completely immersed in hot oil Stir-frying- where you fry the food very quickly on a high heat in a oiled pan Pan-frying- where food is cooked in a frying pan with oil Sautéing- where the food is browned on one side and then the other with a small quantity of fat or oil. Roasting
• Roasting is basically a high heat form of baking, where
your food gets drier and browner on the outside by initial exposure to a temperature of over 500F. • This prevents most of the moisture being cooked out of the food. • The temperature is then lowered to between 425 and 450F to cook through the meat or vegetables. Grilling
• This is a fast, dry and very hot way of cooking, where
the food is placed under an intense radiant heat. • You can use various sources of heat for grilling: wood burning, coals, gas flame, or electric heating. • Before grilling, food can be marinaded or seasoned. • A similar method to grilling is broiling, where the heat source originates from the top instead of the bottom.
