Capable of changing its texture, taste, appearance and above all, its nutritional value.

Techniques can be of two types

Those that work by expansion, in which an attempt thru to extract the juice from the food, and for this. It is introduce into water or broth (boiled and stewed, steamed, in a saucepan.

Roasts are usually prepare in the oven but can also grill, grill or spit-roaster. And also other modalities such the epsilon or “al spite”, which consists in introducing the food (meat or fish) into a sort of stake; or salt (the food is coverer with coarse salt and put in the oven at high temperature so that under this layer of salt it is tender and juicy).
