Category : Cooking Method
Every meal will involve one cooking method or another. We have created a category for this to help our members and users know what is involved. Everything from baking to poaching to stir frying is included. Also, we have even included slow cooker and microwave sections. Several of these methods can be used by amateurs but several need a bit more experience. These included Stir Frying, sautéing and simmering. They just need a watchful eye as to when the ingredients are cooked. If we have missed any the please let us know via our contact page. Every comment is appreciated to make this site the best.
