The Transfer of Heat A Heat energy is used for cooking. Answers Heat energy is used for cooking. It can be transferred in three ways. 3. Fill in the correct missing words: radiation,/ convection, / conduction. (a.) In ……… heat is transferred directly from one molecule to another. (b.) With ……….., liquids and gases create currents transferring heat to the food. (c.) In ………. heat travels from one object to another in waves or rays e.g. barbeque, grill or microwave.* ^*#{}#*^ SHOW tom, tom.acs, 42, 68 PLAY Wave PLAY Announce2 SAY When baking bread in the oven, there are two methods of transfer. Movement of air molecules in the oven set up convection currents and so one method is convection, but also heat energy is transferred from heated air to the baking tin and then to the cake and so the other method is conduction. Grilling meat would be radiation from the gas flame or electric element. Whereas convection and conduction are methods where heat is transferred through a medium which can be a gas, liquid or solid, radiation passes through space or a vacuum by means of electromagnetic rays.

Moist Methods of Cooking A Answers Moist methods involve heat being applied through liquid such as water, milk, steam, stock, wine, etc. This method uses relatively low temperatures over a long period. pressure cooking stewing & braising poaching 4. Suggest the moist method of cooking for the following foods. (There may be more than one). (a.) white fish (b.) potatoes (c.) brisket of beef (d.) eggs (e.) meat pudding (f.) apples. * simmering steaming boiling ^*#{}#*^ SHOW tom, tom.acs, 42, 68 PLAY Wave PLAY Announce2 SAY You need to consider the physical and working characteristics of the food when deciding which method of cooking to use. For instance, meat and fish are both food commodities that can be cooked using a moist method. Both have a substance called collagen which holds the bundles of muscle fibres together but these dissolve when heated to gelatine but meat also has elastin which binds the muscle together which does not dissolve. This holds meat together while being cooked while fish flakes and tenderises in a short time. That is why meat can be cooked over a long period and fish, being rather delicate, is best cooked by using a gentle but quick method. Root vegetables such as turnip and swede go well in a casserole to make them soft and digestable whereas leafy green vegetables need to be cooked quickly in small amounts of water to prevent vitamin loss. ^PAUSE=1300^ PLAY Explain2 SAY ^PAUSE=1300^ PLAY Explain PLAY Explain3 PLAY HandsOnHips SAY^PAUSE=1300^ PLAY Think END

Barbecueing food over charcoal like kebabs, burgers and meat, gives added flavour to the food especiaaly if basted in a moist marinade.USE=1300^ PLAY Explain2 SAY ^PAUSE=1300^ PLAY Explain PLAY Explain3 PLAY HandsOnHips SAY^PAUSE=1300^ PLAY Think END
