Cooking Methods Flashcards

Use the flashcards and questions to review how different cooking methods work. Think about the heat source, whether liquid is used and the result each method can create.

Build your method cards

Complete each card with the key detail that would help a cook choose the method.

1.Card 1 — A joint of meat cooks uncovered in an oven using hot air. Name the method and state whether it is mainly a dry-heat or moist-heat method.
