• Cooking attitude can be positively influenced in noncookers by an experiential intervention such as CWK.
• Cooking foods with heat depends on many factors — the specific heat of an object, thermal conductivity, and perhaps most significantly the difference in temperature between the two objects.
• When you smell the aroma of food cooking, you’re smelling the flavor compounds evaporating into the air.
• Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of foods during the cooking process.

Intervention boys without previous cooking experience demonstrated the greatest attitudinal improvement; cooking attitudes of male comparisons without cooking experience worsened. Reheat food until it is steaming hot – above 75 °C or, preferably, boiling. Follow the same actions as when cooking with a microwave to ensure all the food is heated to above 75 °C.

A dishwasher is very effective at sanitising if it has a hot wash and drying cycle. If you do not have a dishwasher, you will need to sanitise in a sink using a chemical sanitiser or very hot water. If using a chemical sanitiser such as a sodium hypochlorite – or quaternary ammonium-based solution, ensure that it can be safely used for sanitising eating, drinking and cooking utensils. Follow the instructions on the container carefully, as different sanitisers work in different ways.

The bioavailability of some vitamins such as thiamin, vitamin B6, niacin, folate, and carotenoids are increased with cooking by being freed from the food microstructure. Blanching or steaming vegetables is a way of minimizing vitamin and mineral loss in cooking. An emulsion of starch with fat or water can, when gently heated, provide thickening to the dish being cooked. In European cooking, a mixture of butter and flour called a roux is used to thicken liquids to make stews or sauces. In Asian cooking, a similar effect is obtained from a mixture of rice or corn starch and water. These techniques rely on the properties of starches to create simpler mucilaginous saccharides during cooking, which causes the familiar thickening of sauces.

Baked Sweet Potatoes Should Be Your Go-To Side

If you decide you want to pre-cook food and then cool it, you will need to ensure that the food is cooled rapidly to 5°C. If a large container of cooked food, for example a beef curry, is placed in a refrigerator for cooling, it can take as long as 24 hours to cool to 5°C. This is very dangerous as the centre of the food will remain warm and allow food-poisoning bacteria to grow to dangerous levels. Never use the same utensils for raw meats and foods that are ready to eat, such as cooked meats, unless they have been thoroughly cleaned, sanitised and dried. Generally you can cook steak, chops and whole cuts of red meat to your preference as food poisoning bacteria are mostly on the surface. However, if you are at a greater risk of the more serious effects of toxoplasmosis you should ensure your meat is cooked thoroughly to reduce that risk.

CWK was modified to accommodate fiscal, time, and resource limitations in the Colorado school district. The 3 CWK cooking lesson recipes involved students preparing and sampling Chinese-American fried rice with vegetables, East Indian lentils with carrot and raisin pilaf, and potatoes persillade with cabbage. The three CWK tasting lessons led students through a multi-sensory exploration of four varieties each of citrus, pears, and salad greens. Aim for an internal temperature of 75 °C or hotter when you cook food.
