Boiling is the method of cookery in which food is completely immersed in

liquid and cooked at boiling point

As the temperature of the water rises, bubbles are created and a rolling

boil develops. The temperature of the

water has reached 100°C and we say that the

water is boiling

Boiling is the process used for pasta, rice fresh

and dried vegetables and salted meats

These foods require rapid movement of the

cooking liquidto cook

The food to be boiled must be completely covered with liquid

throughout the processStart with enough liquid to allow for evaporation

The liquid level may need to be topped up

during the cooking process

Any scum that rises to the surface should be

skimmed off to prevent it from boiling back into

the liquid and affecting the quality of the food
