Sautéing or sauteing [1] (UK: / ˈ s oʊ t eɪ ɪ ŋ /, US: / s oʊ ˈ t eɪ ɪ ŋ, s ɔː-/; from French sauté, French:, 'jumped', 'bounced', in reference to tossing while cooking) [2] is a method of cooking that uses a relatively small amount of oil or fat in a shallow pan over relatively high heat. Various sauté methods exist.
Steaming is considered a healthy cooking technique that can be used for many kinds of foods. Compared to full immersion in boiling water, steaming can be faster and more energy-efficient because it requires less water and takes advantage of the excellent thermodynamic heat transfer properties of steam.
Heat transfer when using a grill pan or griddle is by direct conduction. In the United States, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is called broiling. [2] In this case, the pan that holds the food is called a broiler pan, and heat transfer is through thermal radiation.
As a form of frying, the technique relies on oil or fat as the heat transfer medium, [1] and on correct temperature and time to not overcook or burn the food. [2] Pan frying can serve to retain the moisture in foods such as meat and seafood. [3] The food is typically flipped at least once to ensure that both sides are cooked properly. [4]
Salmon being poached with onion and bay leaves. Poaching is a cooking technique that involves heating food submerged in a liquid, such as water, milk, stock or wine.Poaching is differentiated from the other "moist heat" cooking methods, such as simmering and boiling, in that it uses a relatively lower temperature (about 70–80 °C or 158–176 °F).

Sous vide cooking using thermal immersion circulator machines. Sous vide (/ s uː ˈ v iː d /; French for 'under vacuum' [1]), also known as low-temperature, long-time (LTLT) cooking, [2] [3] [4] is a method of cooking invented by the French chef Georges Pralus in 1974, [5] [6] in which food is placed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and cooked in a water bath for longer than usual cooking ...
Pan frying is an oil based cooking technique which is typically used to sear larger cuts of meat or to fully cook thinner cuts. This technique uses a thin layer of heated oil to coat the pan. The oil layer is the method of heat transfer between the burner and the food. Water vapor is a critical component of how pan frying works.
Simmering is the main cooking technique used in Shabbat stews because by Jewish law cooking is forbidden on Shabbat. Almost every Jewish diaspora group has had different versions of sabbath stews, with the common practice of boiling before Sabbath begins and then keeping the pot on a blech or other device to heat the food.
