Methods of Heating

In this lesson, you will learn about “methods of heating,” one of the most important topics in the basics of cooking. Rather than memorizing words alone, aim to explain the mechanisms and reasons in your own words.

Key Points
Boiling, stir-frying, and steaming differ in how heat and moisture are transferred, so choose the method according to the ingredients.
