    COOKING-PRINCIPLES, METHODS & ITS EFFECTS COOKING INTRODUCTION Most of the food products which we eat are cooked before consumption. Cooking makes the food tasty, attractive, colourful, easily digestable & also ass variety to texture. Cooking also kills many micro-organisms & make the food safe to be consumed. Several raw food have antinutritional factors which are destroyed by cooking. However, if proper care is not taken while cooking, several important nutrients rae destroyed. So, it is very important to employ proper method of cooking to avoid nutrient loss. Some methods employed before cooking 1. Peeling: It is a method of removing the outer firm skin before cooking or eating fruit or vegetable. Some of vegetables & fruits are eaten with the peel. 2. Chopping It involves cutting of fruits & vegetables. Food is cut into several sizes to create variety in the cooked food 3. Grinding & pounding In grinding, the food is reduced to very fine form like spices. Sometimes cereals are also ground to powder. Pounding is also like crushing food to reduce thickness for easier cooking. 4. Soaking Pulses & legumes are soaked for few hours before cooking to make cooking easier. 5. Sprouting or germinating This method is used for pulses, legumes & grains. This method not only add variety to food, but also increases the content of vitamin C & vitamin B complex in the food. Cooking methods Methods employed for cooking of food can be categorized under two heads: 1. Moist heat methods 2. Dry heat methods 3. Other methods COOKING METHODS Moist heat dry heat other methods Boiling roasting sautering Simmering grilling frying Pressure cooking toasting - deep frying Steaming baking - shallow frying Poaching Stewing Blanching Moist heat methods It is defined as those methods of cooking, in which water is used as medium for transferring heat for ccokingg.

  • Why Olive Oil Is the Best Oil for Frying
    Why olive oil is the best oil for frying October 14, 2016 Tweet Share Contrary to popular belief, olive oil is one of the best oils for frying. The medium-high smoke point of olive oil exceeds the temperatures needed for frying. Furthermore, olive oil contains oleic acid and minor compounds that protect the oil from breaking down, even after reuse. Frying is one of the most common and most delicious ways to prepare food. Throughout the Mediterranean, traditional foods like pescadillo, calamari, keftedes, patatas a la pobre, carcio alla giudea, and falafel are all fried in olive oil. Mediterraneans know that olive oil is the best oil for cooking and frying. So why do Americans believe that olive oil should only be used raw? The science Olive oil is one of the most stable oils for cooking. Unlike other common cooking oils, olive oil contains compounds and antioxidants that prevent the oil from breaking down under moderate heat. Additionally, olive oil is mostly composed of oleic acid (Omega-9), a monounsaturated fatty acid that is naturally resistant to oxidation. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that olive oil is the best oil for frying. Olive oil outperformed vegetable, peanut, corn, soybean, sunower and canola oils. Olive oil can be heated to high temperatures - In 2013, Food Chemistry published a report comparing free radical formation and oxidation (rancidity) when heating peanut oil and extra virgin olive oil. The researchers found that more heat was needed to start the oxidation process in the extra virgin olive oil than in the peanut oil.

    JOURNAL OF INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND RESEARCH IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ISSN 0975 – 668X| NOV 16 TO OCT 17 , VOLUME –04, ISSUE – 02 HEAT TRANSFER AND MATERIALS IN COOKING 1LAHU P. MASKEPATIL, 2PREETI .R. BHALCHAKRA 3RAHUL R. BIRADAR 1, 2, 3 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Rajgad Dnyanpeeth’s, Shri chhatrapati Shivajiraje College of engineering, Bhor, Pune, Maharashtra, India. ABSTRACT: Heat transfer is a very important aspect in the cooking process. Heating food destroys potentially harmful bacteria and other microorganisms, which makes food safe to eat and easier to digest. When food or liquids become hot, their molecules absorb energy, begin vibrating rapidly, and start to bounce off of each other. As they collide, heat energy is produced and transferred, which warms and cooks our food. Heat transfer is the process of an item or substance coming into contact with a heat source and becoming hot. In more scientific terms, heat transfer is an exchange of thermal energy between two objects. There are three methods of heat transfer namely conduction, convention and radiation. All these methods are being used in cooking methods. Taste and healthiness of the food is our prime requirement. Does mode of heat transfer affect the test and Vitamins and other contents in the food? Various cooking method and their corresponding mode of heat transfer has been discussed and investigated all aspects concerned with the topic . KEY WORDS: Cookware, Cooking methods, heat transfer in cooking I. Introduction: Human prime requirement of life to survive is food and water. Without food human can’t survive. From the ancient period, human has been changing his food from hunger”.
