In recipes, we are constantly told to do techniques but often not told why we do them. Today, I want to explore the question of how we use spices. First, we cover the food science and theory of spices before diving into some experiments with special guest @ProHomeCooks .

Have you ever read a recipe guide from a cookbook or a website but didn’t understand everything that’s written? What we do is just ignore the unfamiliar words and keep reading. Sometimes, when we are familiar with the recipe we just scan the headline and remember the important details. As a result, our cooked food is too salty or bland, too hard or too soft, and undercooked or overcooked. It’s frustrating when we waste our energy, time, and money, on something that we are not happy with the result.

There are cooking methods or terminologies that are written in every cookbook that we should be aware of. Just knowing these simple terms will be easy for us to grasp the information in what we are reading.

Here are the most common cooking methods on every recipe website or cookbook:
Frying
Sautéing
Deep-fry
Braising
Simmering
Stewing
Steaming
Boiling
Poaching
Blanching
Roasting
Baking
Grilling
Broiling

Knowing these cooking methods will be easier for anyone to understand every detail in the recipe guide. In case you’re planning to create your own recipe, you can plan ahead on what cooking method will be more suitable to attain the best effect or flavor on your dish.
