Cooking Method

1. Dry Heat cooking

   • direct on in-direct heating
     • Some food may loose moisture when dry cooking.
       • To add moisture when dry cooking there are three different ways
         • Larding: Inserting long strips of fat into a naturally lean piece of meat with a special needle
         • Barding: Wrapping an item with strips of fat. This is usually done with lean meats. Think bacon wrapped chicken breast.
         • Marinating: Soaking an item in wet and dry ingredients to provide flavor and moisture
   • Ways to apply dry heating to cooking
     • One way to apply dry heat cooking is to broil the meat. Broiling is putting the meat underneath a surface where the heat goes down on to the meat
       • A second way to dry heat food is to grill it. To grill meat you place the slab on top of the grill and cook one side at a time
