4 Time and Temperature: Cookings Primary Variables Cooking for Geeks Book

Stay busy with our creative fall décor crafts that can double as festive decorations all season long. Recipes are important, but they’re also just guidelines or can serve as inspiration. I think it’s a natural evolution for a cook—whether it’s a professional cook obviously or a home cook—that with confidence, the recipe means less and less, that it can be used as simple inspiration. I still pull books off the shelf all the time, but rarely do I actually write it down.

Match 3 or more identical bubbles in a row to pop them and make any other bubbles hanging off them fall from the stack.

• Eventually we will adopt new traditions and behaviors around these inventions, just as we did with the microwave.
• The serving spoons, by the way, are supposed to stay in the food, so that they too stay above 140°F / 60°C.
• It kind of informs everything I do and everything I see.
• In fact, food that is freshly cooked at the event and served straight away, such as occurs with barbecues, has less chance of becoming unsafe than food that is pre-cooked and then taken to the event.

Rub salt into the outside of the duck legs, covering both the side with skin and the side with meat exposed. I use roughly 1 tablespoon of salt per duck leg; you want enough to coat the outside thoroughly. For animals like fish, which don’t have to support their weight on land, the collagen levels are much lower. Squid and octopus are notable exceptions to this weight-bearing rule, because their collagen provides the equivalent support that bone structures do for fish. Here are some examples of cooking eggs that show how to take advantage of the thermal properties of different portions of the egg.

This is called the “danger zone rule,” and as you’d probably imagine, a vast simplification of what’s really going on in the bacterial world. Still, as an easy safety rule there’s really no reason to violate it, because there are few dishes that I can think of that actually need to violate it to be made. Cook one egg for 30 minutes in a 325°F / 165°C oven and another for 10 minutes in a 212°F / 100°C water bath. You need to leave the egg in the oven for 20 minutes longer to get the same results. While robot chefs and 3D printed food may sound dystopian, some of these inventions will likely become commonplace. Eventually we will adopt new traditions and behaviors around these inventions, just as we did with the microwave.

Air pressure decreases as you move higher above sea level. That means something simmering away is cooking below 100°C (212°F) and will take longer to cook. At high altitudes, by raising the pressure and boiling point above what happens at sea level, a pressure cooker can really boost the reactions cooking your food. Most pressure cooker instructions state a minimum amount of water required for pressure cooking even a tiny amount of food. Inside the tightly sealed pressure cooker, the water is heated and eventually boils into steam. Since the steam cannot escape, it collects above the food.
