Question

dry-heat cooking methods
in dry-heat cooking, food is cooked either by _________________________, like on a grill, or by indirect heat in a closed environment, like in an _________________________.

□ broiling is a rapid cooking method that uses __________ heat from a source located _________________________ the food.

□ grilling: the food is cooked on a grill rack __________ the heat source. excellent for cooking __________ pieces of food.

□ roasting and baking are techniques that cook food by surrounding the items with ______, _____ air in the oven.

□ griddling is cooking a food item on a _____, ________________ surface (known as a griddle) or in a relatively dry, ________________-bottomed fry pan or _________________________.

□ the sautéing method cooks food rapidly in a __________________ amount of fat over relatively _______________________ heat. the __________________adds to the flavor.

□ stir-fry is a cooking method closely related to sauté; food is cooked over a very _____ heat, generally in a _____ with a little fat, and stirred quickly.

□ to pan-fry food, cook it in an _______ over ________________ intense heat than that used for _______________________or _________________________.

□ to deep-fry food, __________________ or __________________ to coat it, immerse (completely cover) it in hot fat, and fry it until it is done
◎ deep frying terminology

• a _________________________ has the same components as batter, but they are not _________________________ together. a standard breading would be seasoned all-purpose flour and an egg and buttermilk dip or breadcrumbs.
• the \_________________________\ of the item, the point when the item _______________________ to the surface of the oil and appears _________________________, indicates doneness.
• ___________________________ is the amount of time it takes oil to

Explanation:

These blanks are filled based on standard dry-heat cooking terminology and techniques.

1. Dry-heat cooking core definition: Direct heat is used for methods like grilling, while an oven is a closed indirect heat environment.
2. Broiling uses intense direct heat from a source above the food.
3. Grilling places food above the heat source, ideal for small, uniform food pieces.
4. Roasting/baking use hot, dry oven air to surround food.
5. Griddling uses a flat, solid surface, often in a heavy-bottomed pan or cast-iron skillet.
6. Sautéing uses a small amount of fat over high heat, with the browned fond adding flavor.
7. Stir-fry uses very high heat, typically in a wok with minimal fat.
8. Pan-fry uses an open pan over less intense heat than sautéing or stir-frying.
9. Deep-fry often uses batter or breading to coat food before submerging in hot fat.
10. Breading has separate components not mixed like batter; the "float test" means food rises to the oil surface and looks golden when done.

• Deep Frying Terminology
• A breading has the same components as batter, but they are not mixed together. A standard breading would be seasoned all-purpose flour and an egg and buttermilk dip or breadcrumbs.
• The "float test" of the item, the point when the item rises to the surface of the oil and appears golden brown, indicates doneness.
• Oil recovery time is the amount of time it takes oil to
