See full technique reference →Steaming at 100 °C preserves water‑soluble vitamins by limiting oxidative degradation and leaching. Sous‑vide at 85 °C hydrolyzes pectin while maintaining cell‑wall integrity, lowering glycemic index. Low‑temperature roasting at 150 °C reduces acrylamide formation, and oil‑free sauté at 180 °C creates a Maillard crust without lipid oxidation.
