HEAT AND FOOD
Heat is produced when the molecules in a substance vibrate and move rapidly, the
faster the movement, the more heat energy is produced!
Celsius (ARG)
There are 2 temperature scales
Farenheit (USA)
Reasons for “cooking” food
1. to destroy or inactive pathogenic microorganisms.
2. to preserve food from natural and microbiological decay.
3. to destroy natural toxins (poison) for example : certain beans.
4. to help digestion, reduce bulk (raw vegetables).
5. to make it easier to eat.
6. to make it more appetizing or attractive (for example thickening a sauce,
dissolving gelatin, cakes, biscuits).
7. to enhance flavor.
8. to give variety in diet (as more food can be eaten).
9. to provide hot food in cold climates.
Cooking methods according to HOW heat is TRANSFERRED to the food
Heat is transferred from a source of heat to colder zones.
Ø Conduction: heat is conducted by friction of molecules. Heat is in contact
with heated items. Food is cooked by conduction.
Good conductors: metals like silver, aluminum, iron (all of the casseroles);
water.(frying – stewing – boiling).
Poor conductors: plastic, wood, cotton, wool (that is why oven gloves, pan
handles, wooden spoon, etc, are made of these materials).
Ø Convection: heat is transferred through air or water currents (roasting -
baking – boiling – steaming).
Ø Radiation: heat travels through space as electromagnetic waves (microwave)
or infra red rays (grill barbecue).This is the way in which sunlight reaches the
Earth.
Most of the times 2 of these combine together (as when something is cooked by
the heat of conduction and convection together).
Cooking methods according to HOW heat is APPLIED to the food
Ø Moist method: heat is applied through a liquid.
Ø Dry method: heat is applied directly to food (no water interference).
Ø Frying method: heat applied through fats and oils.
Ø Microwave: heat generated through electromagnetic waves.
