Grilled
Grilling is a form of cooking that
involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above or below.
Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and
tends to be used for cooking meat and vegetables quickly. Food to be grilled is
cooked on a grill (an open wire grid such as a gridironwith a heat source above
or below), a grill pan (similar to a frying pan, but with raised ridges to
mimic the wires of an open grill), or griddle (a flat plate heated from below).
Heat transfer to the food when
using a grill is primarily through thermal radiation. Heat transfer when using
a grill pan or griddle is by direct conduction. In the United States, when the
heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is called broiling. In this
case, the pan that holds the food is called a broiler pan, and heat transfer is
through thermal radiation.
Direct heat grilling can expose
food to temperatures often in excess of 260 °C (500 °F). Grilled meat acquires
a distinctive roast aroma and flavor from a chemical process called the
Maillard reaction. The Maillard reaction only occurs when foods reach
temperatures in excess of 155 °C (310 °F).[4]
Studies have shown that cooking
beef, pork, poultry, and fish at high temperatures can lead to the formation of
heterocyclic amines, benzopyrenes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which
are carcinogens.[5][6]Marination may reduce the formation of these
compounds.[7] Grilling is often presented as a healthy alternative to cooking
with oils, although the fat and juices lost by grilling can contribute to drier
food.
Hand
blender
An immersion blender, stick
blender, wand blender, hand blender, or Bermixer (after the brand name of
professional models made by Dito-Electrolux) is a kitchen blade grinder used to
blend ingredients or pure food in the container in which they are being
prepared. Larger immersion blenders for commercial use are sometimes nicknamed
boat motors (popularized by Emeril Lagasse and Alton Brown). Uses include pure
soups and emulsifying sauces.
A stick blender comprises an
electric motor driving rotating cutting blades at the end of a shaft which can
be immersed in the food being blended, inside a housing which can be held by
hand. Some can be used while a pan is on the stove. Immersion blenders are
distinguished from worktop blenders and food processors that require food to be
placed in a special vessel for processing. They are distinguished from hand
mixers, which mix but do not chop.
COLANDER
A colander (or cullender) is a
bowl-shaped kitchen utensil with holes in it used for draining food. such as
pasta or rice. A colander is also used to rinse vegetables. The perforated
nature of the colander allows liquid to drain through while retaining the
solids inside. It is sometimes also called a pasta strainer or kitchen sieve.
Conventionally, colanders are
made of a light metal, such as aluminium or thinly rolled stainless steel.
Colanders are also made of plastic, silicone, ceramic, and enamelware.
