Answer:
Poached eggs (moist heat):
These delectable appetizers make a dish of their own. The cracked eggs are slid into a non-stick skillet and submerged in a inch of water just at or under 185 degrees. The water is mixed with a tsp of kosher salt and 2 tbsp of vinegar to prevent feathering. Finally after several minutes of hot water, the egg sets in a custard like texture that rivals the dessert. The entire egg covered in white layering thanks to this process of heating. And, the inner yolk becomes not runny, but a thick creamy liquid that runs down the plate.
Onion bloom (dry heat):
The onion is cut about eight times all around vertically and the top snipped off. This created the classic flower bloom look as all the layers rest upon another relaxed. It is coated with spices and egg batter several times to ensure the onion is forced to absorb the flavor. Finally once onion is completely fried, the breading becomes a golden bronze color that provides a crunch with the soft bite of sweet onion.
Toasted Spinach Pesto Ravioli (dry heat):
The ravioli here is baked in the oven. The kneaded dough is cut into squares and pressed into each other at the ends. Inside is a pesto spinach filling that is blanketed by the pasta dough to support holding the moisture within while toasting the outside to a crisp. Additionally, the parmesan cheese topping is hardened onto the dough because of the intensity of infrared radiation by the oven.
Simmered apples (moist heat):
The apple’s chunks are cube sized to support quickening the simmering process. They were mixed in sugar and fall spices beforehand to deepen the flavor of the apple chunks once cooked. Several minutes after simmering the apples have softened to an appropriate level to practically dissolve into the mouth after one bite.
