Home›Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes›Cooking Method›BoilingCulinary TechniqueBoilingMoist-Heat and Combination Cooking MethodsReference and ClassificationVerifiedBoiling cooks food by immersing it in water or another water-based liquid, such as stock or milk, that has been heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the liquid's vapor pressure equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure and rapid conversion from liquid to gas occurs; for water at sea level this is 100 degrees Celsius, though the boiling point drops at higher altitudes as atmospheric pressure falls. Several related cooking techniques sit at different points along the same heat scale, including simmering, a gentler form of boiling, along with blanching, steaming and poaching. Boiling water is also used outside cooking to make water safe to drink, since holding it at 100 degrees Celsius for one minute inactivates most microorganisms and viruses.FactsBoilingConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsHeat LevelWell-attestedHigh 1BoilingFilter Results15 entriesCuisineAllAmerican Cuisine (1)British Cuisine (2)Canadian Cuisine (1)Chinese Cuisine (2)Danish Cuisine (1)Guatemalan Cuisine (1)Italian Cuisine (1)Japanese Cuisine (1)Korean Cuisine (2)Mexican Cuisine (1)West African Cuisine (1)CourseAllMain Course (9)Side Dish (3)Snack or Street Food (3)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (2)Contains Fish or Shellfish (1)Contains Meat or Poultry (9)Vegan (2)Main IngredientAllBeef (3)Cabbage (2)Capon (1)Cauliflower (1)Chicken (1)Chickpea (1)Chili Pepper (1)Corned Beef (2)Egg (1)Garlic (1)Lemon (1)Onion (1)Pork (1)Pork Belly (1)Shrimp (1)Spice (1)Tofu (1)Veal (1)Vegetable Oil (1)Dish FamilyAllEast Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (5)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (3)Latin American and Caribbean Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)North American Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (3)Sub-Saharan African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Format/TypeAllEast Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (5)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (3)Latin American and Caribbean Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)North American Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (3)Sub-Saharan African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Origin RegionAllAfrica (1)Canada (1)China (2)Denmark (1)Guatemala (1)Italy (1)Japan (1)Lebanon (1)Mexico (1)South Korea (2)United Kingdom (3)West Africa (1)Yorubaland (1)Era (Origin Period)All1860 (1)1952 (1)TraditionAllChristmas Feast Traditions (1)Lenten Fasting Foods (1)Mezze (1)Salt Curing, Smoking and Drying (1)Street Food Culture (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 15BalilaBoilingBeondegiBoilingBoiled beefBoilingBollito mistoBoilingBossamBoilingCauliflower cheeseBoilingHilachasBoilingJiggs dinnerBoilingMoin MoinBoilingNew England boiled dinnerBoilingRød pølseBoilingRomeritosBoilingShabu ShabuBoilingShuizhuBoilingVirgin boy eggBoilingConnectionsAssociated WithPierogi, Dishes Well-attested Prepares DishesApple dumpling, Dishes Well-attested Source Apple dumpling (Wikipedia)tier 3Bagel, Dishes Well-attested Source Bagel (Wikipedia)tier 3Balila, Dishes Well-attested Source Balila (dish) (Wikipedia)Beondegi, Dishes Well-attested Source Beondegi (Wikipedia)Boiled beef, Dishes Well-attested Source Boiled beef (Wikipedia)Boiled Egg, Dishes Well-attested Source Boiled egg (Wikipedia)Boiled Peanuts, Dishes Well-attested Source Boiled peanuts (Wikipedia)Bollito misto, Dishes Well-attested Source Bollito misto (Wikipedia)Bossam, Dishes Well-attested Source Bossam (Wikipedia)Bubur kacang hijau, Dishes Well-attested Source Bubur kacang hijau (Wikipedia)Bubur ketan hitam, Dishes Well-attested Source Bubur ketan hitam (Wikipedia)Cauliflower cheese, Dishes Well-attested Source Cauliflower cheese (Wikipedia)Dan Wake, Dishes Well-attested Source Dan wake (Wikipedia)Fava (Turkish dish), Dishes Well-attested Source Fava (Turkish dish) (Wikipedia)Fufu, Dishes Well-attested Source Fufu (Wikipedia)tier 2Gethuk, Dishes Well-attested Source Gethuk (Wikipedia)Gruel, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikipedia, GruelHarees, Dishes Well-attested Source Harees (Wikipedia)Hilachas, Dishes Well-attested Source Hilachas -
