NOTE

DRY COOKING METHODS
BAKING: it is cooking food in dry heat in an enclosed space. The air in the enclosed space is heated up to the required temperature. Baking is done in the oven e.g. bread, biscuits, cakes, pastries, pudding etc.

GRILLING: Grilling is cooking food over, under, or in front of a smokeless fire. Grilling can be done beneath the glowing reflector of a gas or electric grill. Examples of grilled foods are thin slices of meat, sausage, bacon, chicken parts etc.

ROASTING: this is cooking food in a dry heat by:

1. An open fire or overheated charcoal e.g. roasted maize, plantain etc.
2. Heated ash or sand e.g. roasted yam, groundnut, potatoes etc.
3. In an oven or enclosed space with hot fat or oil poured over the food e.g. Roasted chicken, roasted meat etc.

FRYING: it is coking food in hot oil.

TYPES OF FRYING

1. FRENCH FAT FRYING: is frying in plenty of fat/ oil. A deep pan or pot is used sometimes. A food can be fried in its own oil e.g. bacon.
2. SHALLOW FAT FRYING: the food is fried in a little oil or fat. A frying pan is used and the oil just covers the bottom of the pan. Foods cooked by this method are pancake, egg, meat etc.
3. DRY FAT FRYING: it is used for food that already contains plenty of fat. The fat melts and run out of the food. E.g. bacon, sausages and other fatty foods.
4. SAUTEEING: this is tossing food lightly in a small amount of fat or oil. E.g. some vegetables.

 

RULES FOR DEEP FAT FRYING

1. Use a deep fryer.
2. Do not fill the fryer more than half way with oil.
3. Lower the food gently into the hot fat.
4. Drain fry foods before serving.
5. Do not over heat the pan with the food as this would considerably lower the temperature before putting food in.
6. When food is cooked, turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool before straining it.
