Cooking Methods - From - http://theculinarycook.com/cooking-methods-how-to-cook/


Dry-heat Cooking Method


These methods can be applied to any type of food, but it’s been saved for this section due to the importance of remembering the methods in relation to meat cookery.  There are three types of cooking methods to remember:

  • Moist-heat Cooking Method
  • Combination Cooking Method

Foods can be cooked in air, fat, water or steam. That’s it. When we say that, we’re talking about the mediums required to transfer heat to your foods. Convection, conduction, and radiation.

Dry-Heat Cooking

Dry-heat cooking methods are those that utilize air or fat. These are broiling, roasting, grilling, baking, sauteing, pan-frying and deep-fat frying. Foods cooked using this method have a rich flavor due to the caramelization and browning of the foods.

Moist-Heat Cooking

Moist-heat cooking uses water or steam. They include poaching, boiling, steaming and simmering. We use moist-heat cooking to emphasize the natural flavor in foods.

Moist heat cooking dan dry heat cooking

Braising, 50% submerged and 50% exposed, is a combination cooking method

Combination Cooking

Combination cooking are methods that incorporate both dry- and moist-heat cooking. The two most important methods are braising and stewing.

Each one of these cooking methods can be applied to a large variety of foods including meats, vegetables, fish, pastries, cakes, cookies, etc.

Applying Cooking Methods

When you are staring at a cut of meat at a grocery store and you are wondering how you’re going to cook so it tastes beautiful, what’s going through your head? Is it a blank stare? Do you know which method to apply to, say, beef short ribs? What about those cheap cuts of meat you are always tempted into buying and are subsequently disappointed by? The point is, we must know how to apply the cooking methods if we are to put that knowledge to any use. You don’t know the feeling of control and power you have when you can close your eyes, pick up a piece of meat and know exactly how to cook it. Not only that, but you start saving some real cash too. You don’t have to buy a filet mignon to get a tender flavorful steak. All it takes is understanding how to apply the cooking methods! A true chef can make the cheapest cut of meat taste spectacular.


You probably know a bit about cooking. You heard something one time about the grain or the marbling or something. Well, you’re close! Fully understanding the cuts and cooking methods requires an understanding of where those cuts come from off the animal. While this knowledge is invaluable, we’ll save it for later.

Defining Dry-Heat Cooking

Sautéing involves very high heat and very little oil is used. The ingredients are added once the oil starts to smoke slightly. Less oil is needed because the high heat prevents moisture from escaping and as well as being safer from oil splattering and potentially causing a fire. Sauteing can be nerve-wracking due to the intense heat and sound of the product being cooked. Splatters happen! Be sure to wear the appropriate clothing as to avoid burns.

Pan frying involves cooking an ingredient in a frying pan at a medium-high heat. Think the “6-7” indicator on your stove. Pan-frying involves much more oil than usual as it helps prevent moisture releasing from the ingredient.

Roasting/Baking uses the air, or convection, to transfer heat to an ingredient. Your oven provides this cooking method, and is used because of its highly-accurate temperatures and ability to cook evenly for longer controlled periods. Large items are usually cooked, or items requiring even cooking. The browning it provides is a desired effect of roasting, and enhances the flavors of most foods. NOTE: Using a convection oven is a bit different than a conventional oven. A convection oven uses a fan to move the hot air around, promoting more even cooking and causing the product to be cooked faster. Because of the nature of a convection oven, there is a specific rule to follow. All standard recipes here assume you are using a conventional oven and the temperatures used reflect that. If you are using a convection oven (And if you’re lucky enough to have one, use it!), reduce the temperature by 25F. TIP: Baking is exactly the same as roasting. The key difference is baking is only referred to as such in the bakery world.

Grilling is the favorite past-time of many men around the world and they all love to cook a nice ribeye or t-bone. This dry-heat method is desired for the flavor that is imparted from the rapid convection cooking. It is ideal for smaller cuts of meats and grilling requires an advanced and experienced cook to ensure proper cooking and the ability to not burn the product while producing perfect rarity on a consistent basis. Professional cooks and chefs use a cast iron grilling surface to do their grilling which provides that deep, noticeable grill-marking. It is much harder to do this with the coated stainless steel grill surface that comes with most barbeques today. If you are in the market for a good grill, look for one with a quality cast-iron grilling surface as that will indicate whether or not you’re buying quality or if you’re just buying brand and gimmicks.

Broiling is similar and almost reverse to Grilling in that is uses radiant heat from an overheat source. Broiled foods are placed on a preheated metal grate and the heat above cooks the meat while the grill below marks it.

Deep-fat frying or Deep Frying is another popular method of cooking. As odd as it sounds, deep frying is not considered a moist-heat method but rather a dry heat method. What separates deep frying from boiling is the temperature. Boiling water can never go above 100C (212F), while deep frying temperatures can be as high as 200C (400F). These high temperatures allow the product to be cooked faster and be browned.


What are the 3 types of cooking method?

The three types of cooking methods are dry heat cooking, moist heat cooking, and combination cooking. Each of these methods uses heat to affect foods in a different way. All cooking techniques, from grilling to steaming, can be grouped under one of these three methods.
