What Are Five Cooking Terms?
Five cooking terms are simmer (to cook food gently at just below boiling point), sauté (to cook food quickly in a small amount of oil or fat), baste (to spoon or brush liquid over food during cooking to keep it moist), grill (to cook food over direct heat, often on a gridiron or grill pan), and bake (to cook food in an oven using dry heat).
