The cooking techniques presented in this DVD rely on a fat or oil as the cooking medium. Since dry heat does not have a tenderizing effect, any food prepared using these cooking methods must be naturally tender or should be prepared in a way that will introduce additional moisture. Once you have developed these skills, you can begin the process of refining and creating virtually endless variations employing dry-heat cooking methods.
