What are the 3 types of cooking?
We count 3 main categories of types of cooking: cooking by concentration, cooking by expansion, and mixed cooking.
What is the purpose of cooking?
Cooking makes it possible to modify the taste, flavor, appearance, color, texture, volume, weight, or nutritional qualities of the food. It modifies its chemical and physical structure and can thus make it assimilable, nutritious or more tasty, and sometimes eliminates toxicity.
What is braising meat?
Braising is gentle, slow cooking that tenderizes meats, but overheating has the opposite effect. Technically, instead of dissolving the collagen in the water of the cells (it’s the collagen that makes meats tough), you pierce these cells and the water is lost.
What are the different types of meat cooking?
Grilling: the meat is seared at high temperature on a grill, without fat. The barbecue, the cast iron grill, the oven grill, the pierrade allow you to make delicious grills. Roasting: the meat is cooked in the oven, uncovered. Braising: the meat is seared then simmered covered in a casserole dish.
What is mixed cooking?
MIXED: This is the combination of the two previous firings. The beginning of cooking is done by concentration by coagulating the juices inside the food, then, after wetting, the phenomenon of expansion intervenes in order to release all the juices in the cooking liquid.
What is a cooking mode?
From broiling to steaming to frying, foods can cook with dry heat, moist heat, or a combination of both. In all cases, heat is used, but heat affects the food in a different way.
Which cooking method should be preferred?
The healthiest cooking method: steam!
Steam cooking is undoubtedly the most interesting method for health, but also for the taste buds! The flavors of vegetables, fish and meat are preserved as well as the nutrients.
Why cook vegetables?
The heat destroys the fragile vitamins in proportion to the cooking time and the rise in temperature. Rapid steaming in a steamer basket (to prevent the minerals from dissolving in the water) is the best way to retain the nutritional qualities of vegetables.
Why cook meat?
Cooking makes it possible to transform, develop, concentrate or reduce the smell of food. Moreover, during cooking, many molecules of taste can also be trapped in the fat, which explains in particular why marbled meats are richer in flavor.
How to braise meat?
To braise meat, remember to season it and brown it in a pan before cooking it covered. The use of oil, spices, aroma, water, broth, juice optimizes the cooking and the taste of the piece of meat. Braising means cooking food gently and slowly.
