The chef's knife is probably a cook's most important tool. And given the amount of time it spends in your hand, it's definitely worth making sure you have a good one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people suggest purchasing "the best knife you can afford." But that's not much help unless you know what makes one knife better than another. Otherwise, you're just buying the most &lt;i&gt;expensive&lt;/i&gt; knife you can afford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best knives are forged from a single piece of steel that runs the entire length of the knife. Read on for a quick tutorial on the various parts of a chef's knife, what they do and why they're important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The Blade&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div id="ssimg"&gt;&lt;q&gt;&lt;a href="http://z.about.com/d/culinaryarts/1/0/0/8/-/-/santkedge1-400.jpg" target="_blank" title="View Full-Size"&gt;&lt;img src="http://z.about.com/d/culinaryarts/1/5/0/8/-/-/santkedge1-400.jpg" alt="Chef's Knife Blade - The Anatomy of a Chef's Knife - Photo Tour" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Chef's Knife Blade&lt;/h3&gt; The best chef's knives are made of high-carbon stainless steel, which is a very hard metal that keeps its edge for a long time and won't discolor or rust like ordinary carbon steel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be sure, knives made from ordinary carbon steel aren't necessarily inferior. Some chefs love them, because the relatively softer metal makes them easier to sharpen. Of course, they go dull more easily, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chef's knives are measured in inches, and lengths of 8" to 12" are common. A longer blade lets you make longer single-stroke cuts when slicing. The so-called "German" style of chef's knife tends to have a more curved section at the front of the blade, good for chopping in an up-and-down "rocking" motion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "French" style is straighter, and more triangular, which is good for a "slicing" type of motion where the knife is drawn straight back toward you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this picture we see the edge of a Japanese-style &lt;i&gt;santoku&lt;/i&gt; knife. The hollow, beveled indentations ground into the blade are designed to create tiny pockets of air between the knife and the product being sliced, reducing friction and minimizing sticking.&lt;p class="caption"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Cooking Conversion Chart"...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="caption"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/cooking-measurement-equivalents.html"&gt;cooking-measurement-equivalents.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/209031115572697550-4897160919586276423?l=cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/feeds/4897160919586276423/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/chefs-knife-overview.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/4897160919586276423'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/4897160919586276423'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/chefs-knife-overview.html' title='Chef&apos;s Knife Overview'/><author><name>My Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12364025786661831322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/SQ0jw2frNvI/AAAAAAAAAEY/eeGSp3KIjf0/S220/hadrian_nataprawira.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209031115572697550.post-510708904469866218</id><published>2008-12-23T08:40:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T20:50:05.515-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking conversion chart'/><title type='text'>Deep-Fat Frying</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Cooking Conversion Chart....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Deep-Fat Frying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; Since deep-frying involves submerging food in hot, liquid fat, it might take some time to get used to the idea that it's actually a form of &lt;a href="http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/dryheatcooking/a/dryheatcook.htm"&gt;dry-heat cooking&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you've ever seen the violent reaction of hot oil to even a tiny drop of water, you know that oil and water are a couple of opposites that want nothing to do with each other. Even though fat can take a liquid form, it really is considered a solid — thus dry heat. &lt;h3&gt;Maintain Constant Temperature&lt;/h3&gt;Assuming they've been cooked properly, deep-fried items should actually have very little oil on them. Proper deep-frying technique requires maintaining the oil's temperature between 325°F and 400°F. Most oils will start to smoke at temperatures higher than that. &lt;h3&gt;Sealing In Moisture&lt;/h3&gt;Food items to be fried are often dipped in a simple batter to protect and further seal in their natural moisture. Because most foods have some moisture in them, and because oil and water don't mix, the food's natural moisture creates a barrier against the oil surrounding it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means that while the heat from the oil cooks the food, the oil itself doesn't permeate the food at all — unless the oil isn't hot enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember the violent reaction of hot oil to a drop of water? The hotter the oil, the more violently it repels water and other moisture. Only at temperatures below 325°F will the oil start to seep into the food and make it greasy. &lt;h3&gt;Fried Foods, Not Oily Foods&lt;/h3&gt;So despite the fact that deep-fried foods have a reputation for being oily or greasy, greasy food is merely a sign of poor cooking technique and not an indictment of deep-frying itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Curious to see how much oil deep-fried food absorbs? Try this simple test:  &lt;blockquote class="no"&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Measure precisely how much oil you pour into the fryer (or dutch oven) before cooking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Measure it again after cooking — but wait for the oil to cool first!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt; The difference between before and after is how much oil ended up in the food. It might be a lot less than you thought. Draining the item on paper towels before serving will help minimize its oil content even more. &lt;h3&gt;Fry in Small Batches&lt;/h3&gt;When deep-frying, keeping the oil hot is critical to producing a quality product. The key is to fry items in small batches, because putting too much food in the oil all at once will lower the oil's temperature. &lt;h3&gt;"Dry" Oil?&lt;/h3&gt;Another clue that deep-frying is in fact a form of dry-heat cooking is the attractive golden-brown color of foods cooked using this method. Only dry-heat cooking methods will produce this characteristic exterior browning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And speaking of moisture, because of the way hot oil spatters when water hits it, to be safe you should pat any excess moisture from food items before putting them in the deep-fryer. Of course, this assumes that the item isn't being dipped in batter first!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking Conversion Chart&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/chefs-knife-overview.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;chefs-knife-overview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/209031115572697550-510708904469866218?l=cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/feeds/510708904469866218/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/deep-fat-frying.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/510708904469866218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/510708904469866218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/deep-fat-frying.html' title='Deep-Fat Frying'/><author><name>My Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12364025786661831322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/SQ0jw2frNvI/AAAAAAAAAEY/eeGSp3KIjf0/S220/hadrian_nataprawira.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209031115572697550.post-4635065706435704751</id><published>2008-12-23T08:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T20:52:28.279-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking conversion chart'/><title type='text'>All About Sautéing</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;All About Sautéing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dry Heat &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking&lt;/span&gt; With Fat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sautéing is a form of dry-heat &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking&lt;/span&gt; that uses a very hot pan and a small amount of fat to cook the food very quickly. Like other dry-heat &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking &lt;/span&gt;methods, sautéing browns the food's surface as it cooks and develops complex flavors and aromas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sautéing Requires a Very Hot Pan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When sautéing, it's important to heat the pan for a minute, then add a small amount of fat and let the fat get hot as well, before adding the food to the pan. This hot fat helps to brown the surface of the food. Another key is to avoid overloading or overcrowding the pan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Don't Overcrowd the Pan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to achieve the desired browning of the food, the pan must stay hot throughout the cooking process. Too much food in the pan dissipates the heat, causing the food to steam or boil rather than sauté.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Keep the Food Moving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's another element to sautéing — the toss. The word sauté actually means "jump" in French. Tossing or flipping the food in the pan ensures that it cooks evenly, but it also helps keep the pan hot.&lt;br /&gt;How? Remember that when a hot thing meets a cooler thing, their temperatures eventually meet in the middle. The cooler thing grows warmer while the hot thing cools down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Keep the the Pan Hot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To illustrate, imagine a pan with green beans cooking in it. The beans at the bottom of the pan, closest to the heat source, are nice and hot, while the ones on top, where they're exposed to air, are cooler. And the longer they sit like this, the greater this disparity in temperature becomes.&lt;br /&gt;So far, so good. However, you're eventually going to want to cook the beans on top, too. And once you flip them, the ones from the top come into contact with the pan's surface and, because they're cooler, they actually lower the temperature of the pan. This leads to the same problem mentioned earlier, where the food ends up steaming rather than sautéing. That's why we try to keep everything moving more or less constantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To facilitate this, some sauté pans have sloped sides, which makes it easier to flip those items in the pan without flipping them all over the kitchen. However, it's worth noting that this flipping or&lt;br /&gt;tossing technique is only really practical with smaller pieces of food, especially vegetables. So for steaks, larger cuts of poultry, fish fillets and so on, we're more likely to employ a technique&lt;br /&gt;known as pan-frying rather than sautéing — even if the dish is actually called sautéed fillet of sole or whatever. For a demonstration, here's a video on how to sauté vegetables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pan-Frying Vs. Sautéing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's pan-frying? It's a lot like sautéing, but with a few key differences. Besides the fact that there's no tossing, pan-frying uses slightly more fat and slightly lower temperatures than&lt;br /&gt;sautéing. This makes it a good method for cooking larger pieces of meat that would not have time to cook through because with sautéing, the food isn't in the pan for very long. For that reason, larger pieces of meat are often finished in the oven after the surface has been cooked to the desired degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking conversion chart&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/deep-fat-frying.html"&gt;deep-fat-frying.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/209031115572697550-4635065706435704751?l=cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/feeds/4635065706435704751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/all-about-sauteing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/4635065706435704751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/4635065706435704751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/all-about-sauteing.html' title='All About Sautéing'/><author><name>My Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12364025786661831322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/SQ0jw2frNvI/AAAAAAAAAEY/eeGSp3KIjf0/S220/hadrian_nataprawira.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209031115572697550.post-9022302270660663580</id><published>2008-12-23T08:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T20:56:15.773-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking conversion chart'/><title type='text'>Grilling &amp; Broiling</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;Grilling &amp;amp; Broiling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grilling and broiling are dry-heat &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking&lt;/span&gt; methods that rely on heat being conducted through the air from an open flame. This type of&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cooking&lt;/span&gt; produces browning reactions on the surface of the food, thus encouraging the development of complex flavors and aromas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grilling Cooks Hot and Fast&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because air is a poor conductor of heat, 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.Thus the surface of the food cooks very quickly, making this type of&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cooking&lt;/span&gt; ideal for extremely tender cuts of meat, poultry or fish. In fact, because of the extremely hot and dry nature of this cooking method, it is customary to marinate meats that will be broiled or grilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The "Turn"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An important part of grilling and broiling is the "turn" — which refers to flipping the item over to cook the other side. Though it can be tempting to move things around while grilling, a little&lt;br /&gt;restraint will go a long way. Generally speaking, you should only turn an item once, which means cooking one side, turning it to finish the&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cooking&lt;/span&gt;, and then taking it off the grill.&lt;br /&gt;Since there's not much else to do, knowing when to turn is pretty much the essence of grilling, and it's a sense that you'll develop with experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Grill Marks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One exception to the "don't move it" rule is that cooks will often rotate an item on the grill to mark it with cross-hatched grill lines. About one-third of a turn — like from 12 o'clock to 8 o'clock on a watch dial — would give the most attractive results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Heat From Above Vs. Below&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, there is one significant distinction between broiling and grilling, which is that grilling involves heating the food from below, while broiling involves heating from above.&lt;br /&gt;In both cases, the food is typically turned once during cooking, and a grid or grate of some kind is used, which gives the food the distinctive grill-marks that are the hallmark of this cooking&lt;br /&gt;technique. As with sautéing, it's critical to heat the broiler or grill before putting the food on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What About Barbecuing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barbecuing is similar to grilling and broiling in that it also uses an open flame to&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cook&lt;/span&gt;. But what defines barbecue is the use of wood or coals to produce the flame.But as with most things in the culinary world, there is a bit of wiggle room here. Some chefs consider charcoal &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking &lt;/span&gt;to be a form of barbecuing, while plenty of others would insist that barbecue entails&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cooking&lt;/span&gt; over a wood fire in an open pit. Either way, everyone agrees that&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cooking&lt;/span&gt; with wood imparts a smoky flavor that just isn't possible with a gas grill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What About Grill Pans?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grill pans are specially constructed pans that have elevated ridges designed to simulate the grill marks obtained by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking&lt;/span&gt; food on an open-flame grill. But is that really grilling?Technically, no. Remember, grilling&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; cooks&lt;/span&gt; through the conduction of hot air, while a pan cooks by the conduction of heat through the pan itself.&lt;br /&gt;Here's an example of the difference: Suppose you're &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cooking&lt;/span&gt; burgers on a grill. Any fat that drips off of the burgers falls away, and doesn't interfere with the heat from the flame or coals below. With a grill pan, however, the fat merely collects in the pan, meaning the burgers are effectively fried instead of grilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking Conversion Chart&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/all-about-sauteing.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;all-about-sauteing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/209031115572697550-9022302270660663580?l=cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/feeds/9022302270660663580/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/grilling-broiling.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/9022302270660663580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/9022302270660663580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/grilling-broiling.html' title='Grilling &amp; Broiling'/><author><name>My Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12364025786661831322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/SQ0jw2frNvI/AAAAAAAAAEY/eeGSp3KIjf0/S220/hadrian_nataprawira.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209031115572697550.post-7472300512548669946</id><published>2008-12-23T08:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T20:57:36.986-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking conversion chart'/><title type='text'>Roasting &amp; Baking</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Cooking and Cooking Conversion Chart&lt;/span&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roasting &amp;amp; Baking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roasting and baking are forms of dry-heat cooking that use hot, dry air to cook food. Like other dry-heat cooking methods, roasting and baking brown the surface of the food, which in turn develops complex flavors and aromas.&lt;br /&gt;Both words describe a method of cooking an item by enveloping it in hot, dry air, generally inside an oven and at temperatures of at least 300°F and often much hotter. A convection oven, which&lt;br /&gt;circulates hot air throughout the oven, can enhance the browning reaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cook Uncovered&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roasting and baking both require that the food be cooked uncovered, so that it's the hot, dry air that delivers the heat, not steam from the food.&lt;br /&gt;Because it uses indirect heat, baking and roasting cook food fairly evenly since all of the food's surfaces are exposed to the heat to the same extent. This differs from pan-frying, for instance, where the surface that touches the hot pan gets much hotter than the side that faces up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Roasting: Enhanced Browning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the words "roasting" and "baking" are frequently used interchangeably, some chefs distinguish between the two based on temperature, with roasting implying greater heat and thus faster and more pronounced browning than baking.Others may prefer to use the word "roasting" specifically for meats, poultry and vegetables, but use the term "baking" for fish and other&lt;br /&gt;seafood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Roasting Meats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roasting is a cooking method that is typically reserved for superior cuts of meat like beef tenderloins, rib roasts, loins of pork and so on. Whole poultry is frequently roasted, too, but this can be tricky as breast meat is drier and cooks faster than leg meat. Here's an article on how to roast a chicken, and here's a nice recipe for roasting a whole turkey breast.Roasting at lower temperatures, between 200°F and 300°F, for longer periods of time, can often produce a more tender, juicier roast, but sacrifices the surface browning which is the source of so much flavor. Conversely, high temperature roasting can result in a drier roast.&lt;br /&gt;As a result, it is increasingly common to roast meats using a combination of low and high temperatures, using a low temperature for most of the cooking time, along with a short burst of high temperature, either at the beginning of cooking or at the very end, in order to achieve the desired surface browning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Baking Fish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fillets, steaks or even whole fish can be baked. With whole fish, the body cavity is often stuffed with vegetables, herbs and other ingredients first. Otherwise, these stuffing ingredients can be&lt;br /&gt;placed on top of the fillets or steaks. This helps prevent the flesh from drying out.&lt;br /&gt;And speaking of whole fish, the head has a lot of moisture in it, so when baking whole fish, leaving the head on is another way to help keep it from drying out.&lt;br /&gt;Fish can also be brushed with oil or melted butter before baking, or even dipped in melted butter. The prepared fish is then baked at around 350°F on an oiled baking sheet. When baking leaner fish, it's a good idea to baste it with oil, butter or some other liquid during the baking, so that it doesn't dry out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking conversion chart...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/grilling-broiling.html"&gt;grilling-broiling.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/209031115572697550-7472300512548669946?l=cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/feeds/7472300512548669946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/roasting-baking.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/7472300512548669946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/7472300512548669946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/roasting-baking.html' title='Roasting &amp; Baking'/><author><name>My Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12364025786661831322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/SQ0jw2frNvI/AAAAAAAAAEY/eeGSp3KIjf0/S220/hadrian_nataprawira.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209031115572697550.post-6969400674759783368</id><published>2008-12-23T08:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-17T18:45:03.165-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking conversion chart'/><title type='text'>Basic Cooking Methods</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/TQwgGg_Gl0I/AAAAAAAABEI/Sbg9r_xKvjQ/s1600/cooking%2Bconversion%2Bcharts.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 276px; height: 183px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/TQwgGg_Gl0I/AAAAAAAABEI/Sbg9r_xKvjQ/s320/cooking%2Bconversion%2Bcharts.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551847736946890562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; "&gt;Basic Cooking Methods&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cooking Conversion Chart...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dry Heat and Moist Heat Cooking&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cooking&lt;/b&gt; methods in the culinary arts are divided into two categories:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1. Dry heat cooking, such as roasting, broiling or sautéing.&lt;br /&gt; 2. Moist heat &lt;b&gt;cooking&lt;/b&gt;, like braising, steaming or poaching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because every cooking method uses either dry heat or moist heat (or sometimes both), classifying them this way ensures that every known method falls into one category or the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"Dry" Oil and Other Fats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's worth noting that &lt;b&gt;cooking methods&lt;/b&gt; involving fat, such as sautéing and deep-frying, are considered dry-heat methods. If this seems confusing, remember that oil and water don't mix, so while fat can take a liquid form, in many ways it's the opposite of water — hence "dry" heat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Choosing the Right Cooking Technique&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using the appropriate cooking method for the type of food being prepared is a major part of the culinary arts. Tough cuts of meat like brisket or shank need to be cooked slowly, at low heats, for a long time, and with plenty of moisture. Prepared properly, these cuts can be incredibly tender and delicious.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, dry-heat methods typically involve very high temperatures and short &lt;b&gt;cooking times&lt;/b&gt;. A piece of brisket cooked in this way — on a grill, let's say — would be tough, chewy and largely inedible. Interestingly enough, a beef tenderloin steak cooked using a slow, moist-heat method such as braising would also turn out tough, chewy and inedible — albeit for different reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dry Heat Cooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dry heat cooking refers to any &lt;b&gt;cooking technique&lt;/b&gt; where the heat is transfered to the food item without using any moisture. Dry-heat cooking typically involves high heat, with temperatures of 300°F or hotter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baking or roasting in an oven is a dry heat method because it uses hot air to conduct the heat. Pan-searing a steak is considered dry-heat cooking because the heat transfer takes place through the hot metal of the pan. Note that the browning of food can only be achieved through dry-heat &lt;b&gt;cooking&lt;/b&gt;. Examples of dry-heat methods include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * Roasting &amp;amp; Baking&lt;br /&gt;  * Grilling &amp;amp; Broiling&lt;br /&gt;  * Sautéing &amp;amp; Pan-Frying&lt;br /&gt;  * Deep-Frying&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Moist Heat Cooking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moist heat&lt;b&gt; cooking methods&lt;/b&gt; include any techniques that involve 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. Examples of moist-heat cooking methods include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * Poaching, Simmering &amp;amp; Boiling&lt;br /&gt;  * Steaming&lt;br /&gt;  * Braising &amp;amp; Stewing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking Methods In Depth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn more about dry and moist heat cooking methods:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  * Dry Heat Cooking&lt;br /&gt;  * Moist Heat Cooking&lt;br /&gt;  * How To Cook Anything&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dry-Heat Cooking Methods:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sautéing &amp;amp; Pan-FryingGrilling &amp;amp; BroilingRoasting &amp;amp; Baking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moist-Heat Cooking Methods:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poaching, Boiling &amp;amp; SimmeringBraising &amp;amp; StewingCooking With Steam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cooking Conversion Chart&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/209031115572697550-6969400674759783368?l=cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/feeds/6969400674759783368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/basic-cooking-methods.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/6969400674759783368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/209031115572697550/posts/default/6969400674759783368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cookingconversion-chart.blogspot.com/2008/12/basic-cooking-methods.html' title='Basic Cooking Methods'/><author><name>My Food Recipes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12364025786661831322</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/SQ0jw2frNvI/AAAAAAAAAEY/eeGSp3KIjf0/S220/hadrian_nataprawira.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uv8QlCKWRH0/TQwgGg_Gl0I/AAAAAAAABEI/Sbg9r_xKvjQ/s72-c/cooking%2Bconversion%2Bcharts.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209031115572697550.post-1539966916351843902</id><published>2008-12-23T08:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-09-15T21:18:59.198-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cooking conversion chart'/><title type='text'>What is Cooking?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;What is Cooking?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking conversion chart...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking&lt;/span&gt; is one of those everyday words that everyone knows. But what does it really mean? Is reheating leftovers cooking? How about making an emulsified salad dressing? Scrambling eggs? Baking cookies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At its most basic, cooking means applying heat to food. But cooking is as much about the ways heat changes the food as it is about the heat itself. That's because heating food does more than just make it hotter. It changes the food in other ways, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Proteins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proteins in food (like in meats, poultry and eggs) become firmer. This is why the liquid interior of an egg gets hard when you boil it, and why a well-done steak is tougher than one cooked medium-rare.&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, other proteins, namely the collagens that make up cartilage and other connective tissues in meats, can be made to break down by heating them in certain ways, specifically through moist heat cooking methods. This is why tough cuts of meat like lamb shanks or oxtails can become so incredibly tender when braised slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking&lt;/span&gt; also causes proteins to lose moisture, typically via evaporation in the form of steam. This loss of moisture then causes protein-rich food to shrink, as we see with burgers that appear to deflate when cooked on the grill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sugars &amp;amp; Starches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carbohydrates like sugars and starches are also transformed by heating. Sugars turn brown, as we see when we caramelize the tops of a crème brûlée. The browning of bread when we bake it is caused by the caramelization of the carbohydrates. Starches tend to act like sponges, soaking up water and expanding in size, as when pasta noodles expand when we cook them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fats &amp;amp; Fiber&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fats, such as butter and oils, liquefy, and eventually start to smoke when they get too hot. The fibers in vegetables and fruits soften and break down, which is why a cooked carrot is softer than a raw one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Other Changes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking&lt;/span&gt; can affect the color of foods, too. Green vegetables first brighten when cooked, but they eventually take on a drab olive hue if they're cooked for too long.&lt;br /&gt;Cooking food causes other, less obvious, changes, too. Nutrients like vitamins can be destroyed or leached out, literally cooked away. Anytime you boil vegetables, some nutrients naturally dissolve into the cooking water or into the air via steam. Flavors can be lost in this same way, too. When you smell the aroma of food cooking, what you're smelling are the flavor compounds evaporating into the air. And if they're in the air, then they're not in the food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Cooking conversion chart...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a
