softens food for easier digestion
makes nutrient more available
improves flavoring
alters texture, taste, odor, and appearance
all of the above
Heat transferred to food by water, liquid, or steam - can result in the destruction of flavor compounds, texture, vitamins, and/or minerals
moist heat
dry heat
scalding
150F, large bubbles on top and sides of the pan

Conduction Convection Radiation( Conduction, Convection, Radiation ) is Heat transferred from flame/coil and Energy transferred via direct contact
Heated water/air expand, low density, moves to surface; cooler water/air moves to bottom; creates circular movement Energy transferred via mass motion of molecules
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Induction
Broiling, grilling, microwave; energy waves produce Energy transferred via electromagnetic radiation
Electric coil under ceramic surface; alternating current flows through the coil to produce a magnetic field, which then generates other smaller current
