Baking refers to the method of cooking food by use of dry heat in an oven. Almost any foodstuff can be baked — vegetables, chicken, fish, and meat. This cooking method produces a wide array of flavorful food such as breads, pastries, pizza, cakes and other dishes. Not only does baking produce tasty products, but it is also actually a very healthy way of cooking food especially if you want to get rid of unwanted fat. The technique to achieving a perfectly baked product depends on the proper ratio between the temperature of the oven and the baking time. The larger and denser the product is, the longer baking time needed.
Barbequing is another way of cooking food and involves grilling or broiling meat, chicken, or fish over an open direct fire. With this method of cooking, you let unwanted oils and fat drip off. Before grilling your meat, the grill should be sprayed with a non-stick spray so as not to let the meat stick to it. The grill should also be properly heated before cooking the food on the grill. Grilling can be done on a gas grill or on a charcoal grill. To be careful not to burn the meat though as studies have shown that burnt or charred food contains carcinogens.
Frying refers to cooking food on a pan over heat with the use of fat, oil, or butter. Frying cooks food more rapidly, and the food basically absorbs the oil to different extents depending on the kind of food cooked. There are different frying techniques including stir-frying, pan-frying, deep-frying, shallow frying, and sautéing. These techniques differ in a number of ways such as the cooking time, the manipulation of the food, the quantity of fat needed, and the kind of cooking equipment needed.
Frying is generally the least healthy of cooking methods since the food tends to absorb harmful fats.
