Concepts Review
Meat is the flesh or other edible parts of animals used for food, including not only the muscles and fat but also the tendons and ligaments.
Market forms of meat includes:
Fresh meat - this is meat immediately after slaughter, without undergoing chilling or freezing
Chilled meat - meat that has been cooled to a temperature just above freezing within 24 hours after slaughter and is placed in the chiller or slightly cold
Cured meat - meat products that have been treated with a curing agent solution like salt, sugar and spice
Frozen meat - meat cuts frozen to an eternal temperature of 20℃ (-40℃)
Canned meat - these are cooked meat products and only requires to be reheated
Dried meat - dehydrated meats
Marinating is a process of soaking meats in a seasoned liquid, called a marinade, before cooking. Marinades often use an acid (like vinegar or citrus juice) or an enzyme to enhance flavors and change surface texture. a successful marinade has the right balance of acid, oil, and seasonings.
Methods of cooking meat include dry heat (roasting, broiling, pan-broiling, pan-frying, stir-frying and outdoor grilling) or moist heat (braising and cooking in liquid). Methods should be selected based on initial tenderness of the cut, desired quality characteristics of the resulting product, available cooking facilities and equipment, and the amount of time available for preparation.
