Scalding is a type of thermal burn caused by boiling water and steam, commonly suffered by children. Scalds are commonly caused by accidental spilling of hot liquids, having water temperature too high for baths and showers, steam from boiling water or heated food, or getting splattered by hot cooking oil.

Steaming works by boiling water continuously, causing it to vaporize into steam; the steam then carries heat to the nearby food, thus cooking the food. The food is kept separate from the boiling water but has direct contact with the steam, resulting in a moist texture to the food.
The process of osmosis over a semipermeable membrane.The blue dots represent particles driving the osmotic gradient. Osmosis (/ ɒ z ˈ m oʊ s ɪ s /, US also / ɒ s-/) [1] is the spontaneous net movement or diffusion of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane from a region of high water potential (region of lower solute concentration) to a region of low water potential ...
Long cooking means more tender meat and allows cooking of beans, lentils, and brown rice. Minimizes fuel, energy use, CO₂ emissions [5] Saves water, less evaporation. Saves food — no burning, no cleanup. Keeps flavour and nutrients in. Convenient — cooks while you are at work or sleeping or travelling. Can take travelling or to picnics.
Low-temperature cooking is a cooking technique that uses temperatures in the range of about 60 to 90 °C (140 to 194 °F) [1] for a prolonged time to cook food. Low-temperature cooking methods include sous vide cooking, slow cooking using a slow cooker, cooking in a normal oven which has a minimal setting of about 70 °C (158 °F), and using a combi steamer providing exact temperature control.
The short answer is no. Cooking makes some foods taste better and can be necessary for food safety. It can also make certain nutrients more available to your body. As with anything, the key is to ...
Simmering is a food preparation technique by which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept just below the boiling point of water [1] (lower than 100 °C or 212 °F) and above poaching temperature (higher than 71–80 °C or 160–176 °F). To create a steady simmer, a liquid is brought to a boil, then its heat source is reduced to a lower ...
If a person is a stickler for measuring, Sergentakis recommended adding 10 grams of salt per liter of cooking water. Unlike others, he is not necessarily a fan of the "salty as the sea" adage.
