Type/Classification

Technique type classification sorts cooking methods by the physical process behind them, such as heating, cooling, mixing or preserving. Wikipedia describes sous vide as "also known as low-temperature, long-time (LTLT) cooking," a name that states its own classification outright. This dimension lets a visitor compare techniques that rely on the same underlying physical principle.
