What form of dry heat cooking uses hot dry air to cook food?

Broiling and Grilling Broiling is another dry heat cooking method that relies on heat being conducted through the air. Because air is a relatively poor conductor of heat, broiling, and grilling require the food to be quite close to the heat source, which in this case is likely to be an open flame.

What are the three methods of heat transfer in cooking?

In cooking, there are three general ways that heat can be transferred from one material to another. Most engineers have taken courses in heat transfer and have heard of the big three: ‘conduction’, ‘convection’, and ‘radiation’. All three play a role in cooking, but depending on the cooking method, only one or two may be important.

The safe temperature for hot food should be above 60°C to prevent the risk of food poisoning, while cold food should be stored below 4°C. If any of the cooked food needs to be reheated, make sure it is reheated above 60°C to minimise the risk of food poisoning.
