water molecules in the fod to move around. Ex: microwave oven

reaches a high temp and emits waves that the food absorbs. Ex: broiler, toaster

because it is quick and more gentle than boiling, which helps preserve the nutrients



Explain what happens during protein coagulation - correct answer ✔✔When heat is applied to food, its
proteins coagulate, or change into a solid state from a liquid/semiliquid state.



After proteins coagulate, but are cooked further, what happens to the texture? - correct answer
✔✔Following coagulation, proteins will begin to break down. The tenderizing of tough meats that occurs
during stewing/braising is a good example of this denaturation of proteins

,What is the difference between shallow frying and deep frying? - correct answer ✔✔Shallow frying is a
dry cooking method that transfers heat to food with a moderate amount of fat. Deep frying cooks food
by completely submerging food in hot fat.



Why is it important to control the oil temperature when shallow frying? What are some ways to control
this heat? - correct answer ✔✔If its not hot enough, the food will absorb too much fat. If its too hot, the
food will burn before the inside is cooked



Why shouldnt you cover or stack fried foods? - correct answer ✔✔Covering or stacking can cause the
coating to become soggy, because moisture can't escape



Why is it important to dredge foods in flour before adding to egg wash in standard breading procedure
or adding to the batter in the batter method? - correct answer ✔✔Dredging the food in flour will add
flavor and texture



What are the benefits to seasoning this flour before dredging? What are the benefits to seasoning the
food directly instead? If you season the food prior to dredging, breading, and battering, do you still need
to season the food when it comes out of the fryer? - correct answer ✔✔Its beneficial bc it will add flavor
by cooking the seasoning into the flour. Seasoning the food directly will allow the seasoning to be
embedded directly into the food. Yes, b/c the food isnt seasoned on top of the breading yet.



Give examples of oils that should be used for frying. Knowing that this cooking medium can be
expensive, what are a few ways that you can preserve the fryer oil? How do you know when it is time to
change the oil? - correct answer ✔✔Vegetable, peanut, canola

You can preserve oil by skimming out any leftover bits, changing the oil once it starts to turn dark in color



What are the 3 types of emulsions? - correct answer ✔✔Permanent: lasts several days; ex: mayo

Semi-permanent: lasts shorter than permanent, several hours; ex: hollandaise

Temporary: lasts shortest amount of time, usually several minutes; ex: vinaigrette



Dry cooking method definition - correct answer ✔✔Transfers heat by hot metal, hot air, hot fat, or
radiation. Any moisture from the food evaporates. Ex: baking

, Moist Cooking method definition - correct answer ✔✔Uses liquid, other than oil, to transfer heat--water,
stock, steam. Ex: simmering



Combination Cooking Method definition - correct answer ✔✔Uses both dry and moist cooking methods.
Beginning with one technique and finishing with the other. Ex: braising



Mise en Place - correct answer ✔✔Everything in its place



Deep fry - correct answer ✔✔Cooks food by complete submersion in hot fat



Shallow or pan fry - correct answer ✔✔A dry cooking method that transfers heat to food with the help
of a moderate amount of fat--more fat than sautéing



Standard breading procedure - correct answer ✔✔A process that involves a sequence of steps in which
food is covered alternately with wet and dry ingredients

(wet)-->dry-->wet-->dry



Dredge - correct answer ✔✔A way to prep food immediately before sauteing by dipping into a seasoned
flour to coat evenly on all surfaces



Batter - correct answer ✔✔A semiliquid mixture that combines a liquid such as milk, water, or beer with
a starch



Leavening agent - correct answer ✔✔Items that help produce a light and airy batter (baking soda, baking
powder, whipped egg whites)



Oil - correct answer ✔✔Fat used for cooking



Smoke point - correct answer ✔✔Maximum temp to which a fat or oil can be taken before it begins to
burn, tainting the flavor and changing the color
