Whois & Analysis for mommyshomecooking.com

Cooking or cookery is the art, technology and craft of preparing food for consumption with the use of heat.

Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely across the world, from grilling food over an open fire to using electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting unique environmental, economic, and cultural traditions and trends.

The ways or types of cooking also depend on the skill and type of training an individual cook has.

Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food establishments.

Cooking can also occur through chemical reactions without the presence of heat, such as in ceviche, a traditional South American dish where fish is cooked with the acids in lemon or lime juice.

Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years.

Bird and reptile eggs consist of a protective eggshell, albumen (egg white), and vitellus (egg yolk), contained within various thin membranes.

The most popular choice for egg consumption are chicken eggs.

Other popular choices for egg consumption are duck, quail, roe, and caviar.

Baking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones.

The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked.

Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their centre.

As heat travels through it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre".

Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other.

Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit.
