Cooking...!

Cooking


The term "cooking" encompasses a vast range of methods, tools and combinations of ingredients to improve the flavor or digestibility of food. Cooking technique, known as culinary art, generally requires the selection, measurement and combining of ingredients in an ordered procedure in an effort to achieve the desired result.

Cooking requires applying heat to a food which usually, though not always, chemically transforms it, thus changing its flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional properties.


Some of the many cooking equipments being used in cooking are:

Ovens --> can be used for baking or roasting and offer a dry-heat cooking method

Cook-tops --> used to heat vessels placed on top of the heat source, such as a sauté pan, sauce pot, frying pan, pressure cooker, etc.

Grills --> operates with a radiant heat source from below (wood, liquid propane or charcoal), usually covered with a metal grid and sometimes a cover.
