What to Focus On

  • Cooking softens food and makes it easier to chew and digest.
  • Cooking improves colour, flavour, taste, texture, and appearance.
  • Cooking helps destroy harmful microorganisms and makes food safer.
  • Cooking methods are classified by the type of heat and medium used.
  • Moist heat methods use water or steam.
  • Dry heat methods use hot air or direct heat.
  • Boiling uses enough water to cover food completely.
  • Cereals and pulses need 1.5 to 3 times water for boiling.
  • Root vegetables should be boiled with skins on.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pressure cooking is not a moist heat method because no food is directly boiled in a lot of water.

Boiling is the best way to preserve nutrients because water makes food soft and safe.

Steaming and boiling are the same because both use water.
