Conduction heat transfer definition

Heat moves particle to particle through direct contact

Convection heat transfer definition

Heat transfers through moving air or liquid currents

Radiation heat transfer definition

Heat travels directly from source to food without contact

Three methods of heat transfer

Conduction, convection, radiation

Cooking methods using conduction

Frying, boiling, stewing

Cooking methods using convection

Boiling, steaming, baking, roasting

Cooking methods using radiation

Grilling

How convection circulates heat

Hot air/liquid rises whilst cooler air/liquid falls

Direction radiation heat travels

Straight lines from heat source to food

Heat transfer methods used in boiling

Conduction (from pan base) and convection (water currents)

Three categories of cooking methods

Moist, dry, frying

Moist cooking methods use

Liquid or steam

Dry cooking methods characteristic

Cook without adding liquid or fat

Frying methods use

Hot fat or oil

Why radiation requires turning food

Heat travels in straight lines, so food must be turned for even cooking on all sides
