Question

Explain the different methods of cooking food with examples.

Hint:

Steaming and baking are healthier than frying

Answer 1

Common cooking methods include boiling, steaming, frying, roasting, and baking. Boiling cooks food in water, while steaming cooks food using steam and preserves nutrients. Frying involves cooking food in oil at high temperature. Roasting and baking use dry heat to cook food evenly. Each method affects taste, texture, and nutrient content differently.
