Basic Dry Cooking Methods For Teachers: Brief Summary In recent years the practice and art of cooking has been on the decline. This may be due to ready-to-eat meals and takeaway options becoming more readily available, but has been fuelled in part by the lack of cooking knowledge and skills displayed by the average consumer. This program is an informative and in-depth look at the basic dry cooking methods, the first of two productions centred on the methods of cooking food. An overview of the methods of transferring heat is given then the program concentrates on the dry heat methods of cooking. The methods mentioned in detail are: Baking Roasting Grilling Broiling Barbequing Dry frying Shallow frying Deep-frying The dry methods of cooking are taught across many year levels, ranging from junior secondary level to tertiary levels. This program covers the basics of each dry cooking method in detail, with emphasis on equipment to be used, safety guidelines, foods suitable and best practice. Students’ will find the program valuable at all stages of schooling as it is suited to any secondary or tertiary stage.
