Instructions;
In this activity, you will be divided into four
groups. You will guess the methods of
cooking through context clues. The activity
is good for 5 minutes.

12. 1. I am a cooking method that uses dry
heat to prepare food, typically in an oven,
but it can also be done in hot ashes or on
hot stones....... WHAT EXACTLY AM I?
2. I am a cooking method that uses
a very hot pan and a small amount
of fat to cook the food quickly........
WHAT EXACTLY AM I?

13. 3. I am a cooking method that uses
hot steam to conduct heat to the
food...... WHAT EXACTLY AM I?
4. I am a cooking method in which the
item to be cooked is partially covered
with liquid and then slowly simmered
at a low temperature........ WHAT
EXACTLY AM I?

14. 5. I am a method of cooking that
uses radiant heat from above to
cook the food, similar to upside-
down grilling........ WHAT EXACTLY
AM I?

15. 1. Discuss the different basic
methods of cooking.
Appreciate cooking methods in preparing foods.

17. DRY HEAT COOKING
Dry heat cooking refers to any cooking
technique where the heat is transferred to the
food item without using any moisture. Dry-
heat cooking typically involves high heat, with
temperatures of 300°F or hotter.

18. Maillard Reaction The
browning of food
(including the
process by which
meat is browned, it
can only be
achieved through
dry-heat cooking.

20. 1. 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.

21. 2. BAKING
A method of preparing
food that uses dry heat,
typically in an oven, but
can also be done in hot
ashes, or on hot stones.
The most common
baked item is bread but
many other types of
foods are baked.

22. GRILLING AND BROILING
Dry heat cooking method rely on heat being
conducted through the air from an open flame are
grilling and broiling. This type of cooking produces
browning reactions on the surface of the food, thus
encouraging the development of complex flavors and
aromas.

23. 3. GRILLING
This is a fast, dry and
very hot way of
cooking, where the
food is placed under an
intense radiant heat.

24. 4. BROILING
A cooking technique that uses
radiant heat from above to cook your
food, so it’s like upside-down grilling.
Broiling is a good method to use for
thinner, leaner cuts of meat like
butterflied chicken breasts, pork
tenderloin medallions, strip steaks,
kabobs and vegetables.
Take note:
Broiling and grilling require the food to be quite close to
the heat source, which in this case, is likely to be an open
flame.

25. 5. SAUTEING
Sautéing is a form of dry-
heat cooking that uses a very
hot pan and a small amount
of fat to cook the food very
quickly. Like other dry heat
cooking methods, sautéing
browns the food's surface as
it cooks and develops
complex flavors and aromas.

26. 6. FRYING
One of the quickest
ways to cook food,
with temperatures
typically reaching
between 175 –
225ºC.

27. THE THREE TYPES OF
FRYING
Pan-frying, where food is cooked in
a frying pan with 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 an oiled
pan

28.  Moist heat cooking methods include any technique that
involves cooking with moisture — whether it's steam,
water, stock, wine or some other liquid. Cooking
temperatures are much lower, anywhere from 140°F to
a maximum of 212°F, because water doesn't get any
hotter than that.
MOIST HEAT COOKING METHODS
Braising, Simmering, Boiling,
Stewing, Steaming, Poaching

29. The Examples of
Moist Heat
Cooking Methods

30. 1. SIMMERING
With simmering, the cooking
liquid is a bit hotter than
poaching from 180°F to 205°F.
Here we will see bubbles
forming and gently rising to
the surface of the water, but
the water still isn't at a full
rolling boils. Because it
surrounds the food in water
that maintains a more or less

31. 2. BOILING
The hottest of these three stages is
boiling, where the water reaches its highest
possible temperature of 212°F. It's actually
the least likely of the three to be used for
cooking. That's because the violent
agitation caused by the rolling boil can be
too rough on food and will often damage it.

32. 3. POACHING
A moist heat method
of cooking
by submerging food in
some kind of liquid
and heating at a low
temperature. This is a
technique that is used
to cook delicate
proteins such as fish,
chicken, and eggs, as
well as some fruits
and vegetables.

33. 4. STEAMING
Steaming is a moist-heat
cooking technique that
employs hot steam to conduct
the heat to the food item. This
means cooking your food in
water vapor over boiling
water. For this, it’s handy to
have a steamer, which
consists of a vessel with a
perforated bottom placed on
top of another containing
water.

34. Stewing is the moist heat
method which is similar to
simmering in that the liquid
is heated until it forms
gentle, yet quickly moving
bubbles. The difference
between stewing and
simmering is that stewing
generally involves a much
smaller amount of liquid that
is retained and served with
the food as a sauce.
5. STEWING

35. 6. BRAISING
Braising is a form of moist-
heat cooking in which the item
to be cooked is partially
covered with liquid and then
simmered slowly at a low
temperature. Though it can be
done on the stovetop, braising
is best done in the oven,
because the heat fully
surrounds the pot and causes
the food to cook more evenly
than if it were only heated from
below.

36. Begin by Searing Because moist heat does not
permit the various browning reactions that dry heat
produces, giving cooked meats the brown, outer crust
that also helps to develop complex flavors and aromas,
it's customary to sear meat in a pan with a small
amount of hot fat before braising it.
How Braising Works
Braising is a good choice of cooking method for
cuts of meat that are tougher or from older animals. The
connective tissues that are more prevalent in cuts like this,
and which can make meats tough and chewy when
improperly cooked, are slowly dissolved through long, slow
application of moist heat. So, you end up with a tender piece
of meat.

38. Instructions;
You will be set into pair. The different methods
of cooking will be written in a piece of paper
and you will draw the lot as to who will be
assigned to discuss the methods of cooking.
You will be given 7 minutes to brainstorm with
your partner and another 5 minutes for the
reporting.
