Boiling and Simmering

Boiling and simmering are two of the most basic—and useful—cooking techniques. You probably know that they both use hot liquid to transfer heat to foods—but there are important differences between them. In this cooking class, you will learn these differences between boiling and simmering, and when to use each technique. You will also learn how to use them to boil pasta to the ideal doneness, and simmer rice without scorching it. We will break down and demystify the processes to cook dried beans from scratch and blanch vegetables to preserve some snap in each bite and retain natural nutrients. The course also covers the kitchen equipment you need to execute these two cooking techniques at home, including our recommendations for the best Dutch oven, stockpot, saucepan, and colander.

Crumb-Coated Ham

When we want to dress up a ham, we usually turn to a sweet glaze. But sometimes we want to try something a bit different: a crumb coating, which is a popular way to prepare ham in Sweden. But we quickly discovered that this seemingly simple recipe wasn’t as easy as just pressing some bread crumbs into the exterior of the ham. Our first tries resulted in dry meat, soggy crumbs, and a coating that didn’t stay put once we started slicing. We had to figure out how to keep the ham moist, the crumbs dry, and the two components adhered to each other.

Introduction to Grilling

Rich, smoky flavor and beautifully charred surfaces from a hot grill grate are hallmarks of grilling, and it works best for small, quick cooking foods. But how do you achieve perfectly grilled food? And which grill is better: gas or charcoal? In this online cooking class, we’ll review some basics about grilling and learn how to grill on both gas and charcoal grills. You’ll then use what you’ve learned to prepare delicious, crowd-pleasing recipes for steak with Chimichurri sauce, salmon with olive vinaigrette, and chicken breast with chipotle-orange glaze.

Pan-Seared Salmon

Pan-searing salmon sounds straightforward. But the normal technique—season a few skinless fillets, then cook it in some oil in a hot pan until nicely brown and still pink on the inside—leaves you with unevenly-cooked fish with a tough exterior. We wanted a technique that took advantage of the intense heat of the skillet to produce a golden-brown, ultracrisp crust on salmon fillets while keeping their interiors moist. This class also includes links to our Mango-Mint Salsa and Cilantro-Mint Chutney, both of which are prefect accompaniments to salmon.
