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.
Convection (cooking in a hot-air environment, without feeding in additional steam) - temperatures range from 30 to 250 °C (86 to 482 °F) or 300 °C (572 °F), depending on the model. Superheated steam (a combination of the two methods named above) - temperatures range from 30 to 250 °C (86 to 482 °F) or 300 °C (572 °F).
Baking typically occurs in an oven at around 200 °C (390 °F), with the salt crust acting as a cooking vessel. This slows heat transfer to the food creating a slow and low dry oven, beneficial to most proteins. [5] To serve, the crust is broken and carefully removed, to avoid leaving excess salt residues in the food.
For example, a cool oven has temperature set to 200 °F (93 °C), and a slow oven has a temperature range from 300–325 °F (149–163 °C). A moderate oven has a range of 350–375 °F (177–191 °C), and a hot oven has temperature set to 400–450 °F (204–232 °C).
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 ...
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).

Desired proofer temperatures can range from 20 to 45 °C (70 to 115 °F); cooler temperatures are achieved in a dough retarder, see below. Commercial bakers typically use large, temperature- and humidity-controlled proofers, whereas home bakers employ a variety of methods to create a warm, humid environment for dough rising.
