What to Focus On

  • Removes inedible parts like peels, husks, and shells.
  • Improves food quality by making it easier to chew and digest.
  • Destroys harmful microbes and toxins (e.g., prussic acid in cassava).

  • Washing removes dirt and surface contaminants.
  • Peeling removes outer skin that may be inedible or contaminated.
  • Cutting, slicing, dicing increase surface area for faster cooking.

  • Moist heat methods use water or steam as the cooking medium.
  • Dry heat methods use direct heat without water.
  • Combination methods use both dry and moist heat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
