it's heating turnsoff, the oven is at the proper temperature. Then put in thefood--for best results, center it in the oven. - Boil:Heat a liquid until it bubbles. The faster the bubbles rise andthe more bubbles you get, the hotter the liquid. Some recipescall for a gentle boil--barely bubbling--or a rolling boil--justshort of boiling over. Watch so it doesn't boil over. -Braise: A moist cooking method using a little liquid that barelybubbles on the top of the stove or in the oven. This is a goodway to tenderize cheaper cuts of meat. The pan should be heavyand shallow with a tight-fitting lid to keep the liquid fromboiling away. There's a lot that can be done for flavoring inyour choice of liquid and of vegetables to cook with the meat. - Broil: Turn the oven to its highest setting. Put thefood on broiler pan--a 2 piece pan that allows the grease todrain away from the food. In an electric oven on the broilsetting only the upper element heats, and you can regulate howfast the food cooks by how close to the element you place it.Watch your cooking time--it's easy to overcook food in thebroiler. - Brown: Cook until the food gets light brown.Usually used for frying or baking. Ground beef should usually bebrowned (use a frying pan) and have the grease drained beforeadding it to a casserole or meat sauce. - Fold: A gentlemixing method that moves the spoon down to the bottom of thebowl and then sweeps up, folding what was on the bottom up overthe top. This is used to mix delicate ingredients such aswhipped cream or beaten egg whites. These ingredients just hadair whipped into them, so you don't want to reverse that processby mixing too vigorously. - Simmer: Heat to just thestart of a boil and keep it at that point for as long as therecipe requires. The recipe will usually call for eitherconstant stirring or stirring at certain intervals. Nowyou are ready to do the shopping and prepare that recipe thatyou've always wanted to try!
