Information Sheet 8.3-2 Methods in preparing the Vegetable Dish

Learning Competency
After reading this information sheet, the trainee will be able to:
Determine common method in preparing vegetable dish.

General Rules of Vegetable Cookery


 Don‘t overcook.
 Prepare vegetable as close to service time as possible and in small quantities.
 If the vegetable must be cooked ahead, undercook slightly and chill rapidly. Reheat
at service time.
 Never use baking soda with green vegetables.
 Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
 Cook green vegetables and strong – flavored vegetables uncovered.

HOW TO COOK FROZEN AND CANNED VEGETABLES

A.) Frozen Vegetables


 Examine all frozen products when received to check quality.
 Frozen vegetable requires shorter time in cooking because they have been partially
cooked.
 Cook from the frozen state. Can cook directly into steamer or boiling salted water.
 Corn on the cob and vegetables that freeze in solid block like squash, should be
thawed for even cooking.
 Add less salt. Most frozen vegetables are slightly salted during processing.

B.) Canned Vegetables


Drain vegetables and place half the liquid in a cooking pot, and bring to boil.
 Add vegetables and heat to serving time. Do not boil for a long time.
 Season liquid before adding vegetables to blend flavors of herbs and spices.
 Use butter to enhance the flavor of most vegetables.

What are the Ways of Cooking Vegetables?

1. Boiling and steaming


--Vegetables are drained as soon as they are cooked and then cool quickly under
cold water to prevent overcooking from the residual heat. They are reheated quickly
by sautéing in butter or other fat. Seasonings and sauces are added at this stage.

2. Sautéing and Pan – Frying


--Both methods may be used to complete cooking or precooked or blanched
vegetables. Also used for complete cooking of raw vegetables.

3. Braising
--The blanched or raw vegetable, is placed in the pan then liquid is added (stock,
water, wine) to cover vegetables, then cooked slowly.

4. Baking
--Cooking starchy vegetables using heat of the oven, rather than range top. Starchy
vegetables are baked because the dry heat produces a desirable texture.

22 THE SISTERS OF MARY SCHOOLS- PHILIPPINES


CBLM for COOKERY NC II

5. Deep – frying
--Vegetables large enough to coat with breading or batter may be fried. Quick –
cooking vegetables can be fried raw. Some, may be precooked by simmering or
steaming briefly to reduce the cooking time in frying.

Self-Check 8.3-2
