Getting really good at both dry heat and moist heat cooking can make you a better cook! Here’s how I handle them:

Dry Heat Cooking

1. Oven Baking: This is great for making yummy casseroles and baked treats.
2. Grilling: Perfect for cooking meats and vegetables, giving them a nice grilled look.
3. Sautéing: A fast way to make stir-fries and meals in one pan.

Moist Heat Cooking

1. Boiling: The best way to cook pasta and veggies, making them soft.
2. Steaming: Helps keep the nutrients and flavors in fish and green veggies.
3. Braising: Mixes both moist and dry cooking methods, great for tougher pieces of meat.

By using these cooking methods often, I've noticed that my confidence and skills in the kitchen have improved a lot!
