Resting is letting cooked meat or prepared dough sit at room temperature for a certain time. It allows juices to redistribute evenly in meat and gluten to relax in dough. The duration varies depending on the type and size of the ingredient.
Where It's Used
“Let the steak rest for five minutes after coming out of the oven, before slicing.”
