GUIDE QUESTION- 1. List down the techniques you have observed. 2. What are the things you consider in choosing the right cooking technique as you have observed at home? How will you know what cooking techniques to use and when to use it?
Answer (1)
1. Some of the cooking techniques I’ve observed at home include frying, boiling, grilling, sautéing, steaming, and sometimes baking. Before cooking, we also marinate meat to make it tastier. Each technique is used depending on the type of food and the result we want—like crispy, soft, or juicy.2. When choosing the right cooking technique, we consider what kind of food we’re preparing. For example, vegetables are usually sautéed to keep their nutrients, while meat might be grilled or fried depending on the flavor or texture we want. We also look at what tools or equipment are available—like if we don’t have an oven, we can’t bake. Another thing we think about is the health benefits and how fast we need to cook. You’ll know what technique to use by understanding the food’s texture, the taste you want, and the tools you have. If you want something soft and healthy, steaming or boiling works. If you want something crunchy or flavorful, frying or grilling is better. It’s all about knowing your ingredients and your goal for the dish[tex].[/tex]
