Sweating (cooking)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sweating in cooking is the addition of dry heat to effect a change in vegetables. Sweating vegetables usually results in tender, more translucent pieces and is used further in various culinary preparations.
The addition of dry heat (Heat without moisture present) starts a chemical change that disolves the sugars in the vegetable. This makes it either a white color, or a milky see-through.
