 Basic method of Cooking

Here are some basic cooking methods along with descriptions of each:

Boiling:

             Boiling is the process of cooking food by submerging it in boiling water.It is often used for cooking pasta, rice, vegetables, and eggs.The food is fully immersed in water, and the temperature remains constant at the boiling point (usually 212°F or 100°C at sea level).
Boiling is a simple and quick method to cook many types of food.

Steaming:

                Steaming involves cooking food by exposing it to steam.This method preserves the nutrients and flavors of the food.You can use a steamer basket or a dedicated steaming appliance.
Common foods to steam include vegetables, dumplings, and fish.

Sauteing:

               Sauteing is a quick cooking method using a small amount of oil or butter in a shallow pan.
Food is cooked at high heat for a short time, often with constant stirring.It's ideal for cooking diced vegetables, meat, and seafood.

Frying:

             Frying involves cooking food in hot oil or fat.There are two main types: deep frying (submerging food in oil) and shallow frying (pan-frying).It's commonly used for frying chicken, potatoes (french fries), and dough (donuts).

Baking:

             Baking is the process of cooking food by surrounding it with dry heat in an oven.It's used for bread, cakes, cookies, casseroles, and roasted meats.Baking typically requires precise temperature control and longer cooking times.

Grilling:

              Grilling is cooking food over an open flame or heat source.It imparts a smoky flavor and distinctive grill marks.Common foods for grilling include burgers, steaks, vegetables, and seafood.

Roasting:

                Roasting is a dry-heat cooking method, often used for larger cuts of meat and poultry.Food is placed in the oven, usually on a rack, and cooked at high temperatures.Roasting results in crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat.

Broiling:

               Broiling is similar to grilling but with the heat source located above the food.Food is placed on a broiler pan or rack and cooked at high heat.It's used for melting cheese on dishes like casseroles or browning the top of dishes.

Poaching:

                Poaching involves gently simmering food in liquid, usually water or broth.It's a gentle cooking method and is often used for cooking eggs (poached eggs), fish, and fruits for desserts.

Stir-Frying:

                   Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method in a wok or a large skillet.Food is quickly cooked in a small amount of oil while constantly stirring.It's commonly used in Asian cuisine for dishes like stir-fried noodles and vegetables.

Sous Vide:

                  Sous vide is a cooking method that involves sealing food in an airtight bag and cooking it in a water bath at a precise and controlled temperature.It's known for its ability to cook food evenly and retain moisture, resulting in tender and flavorful dishes.Sous vide is often used for cooking meats, fish, and vegetables.

Blanching:

                  Blanching is a quick cooking method that involves briefly immersing food in boiling water, followed by rapid cooling in ice water.It's used to partially cook food, preserve color, and make it easier to peel (as with tomatoes) or to prepare for freezing (as with vegetables).

Simmering:

                   Simmering is a gentle cooking method where food is cooked in liquid at a temperature just below the boiling point.It's ideal for slow-cooking soups, stews, and sauces, allowing flavors to meld over time.

Reduction:

                  Reduction is a technique used to thicken and intensify the flavors of sauces and liquids by simmering them until they reduce in volume.It's commonly used to make pan sauces or to concentrate the flavor of stocks.

Braising:

               Braising involves browning food in fat and then cooking it slowly in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid.This method is ideal for tougher cuts of meat, making them tender and flavorful.

Curing:

            Curing is a method of preserving and flavoring food by using salt, sugar, and other seasonings. It's commonly used for making items like cured meats (e.g., bacon), gravlax, or pickled vegetables.

Smoking:

                Smoking is a method that imparts a smoky flavor to food by exposing it to smoke from burning wood chips or charcoal. It's often used for smoking meats, fish, and even cheeses.

Bain-Marie (Water Bath):

                                          A bain-marie is a gentle cooking method where food is placed in a container surrounded by hot water to ensure even and gentle cooking.It's used for delicate dishes like custards and cheesecakes to prevent curdling or cracking.

Fermentation:

                       Fermentation is a natural process where microorganisms (like yeast or bacteria) transform food into new flavors and textures.It's used in making yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, and sourdough bread, among others.

Caramelization:

                          Caramelization is a process where sugar is heated until it melts and turns into a caramel-like substance.It's used to add sweetness and a deep brown color to dishes like caramelized onions or sugar-based desserts.

If you captured all those method you can make any kind of food. Hope we can to understand all method properly. Thanks!!!
