13. Frying
02
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.
14. Roasting
03
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.
15. Grilling
04
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
.
18. Blanching

Here the food is part-cooked, and then
immediately submerged in ice cold

potatoes.
